1From the Main menu, select 3. Unit Configuration.
2Within the Unit Configuration screen (see Figure 22 on page 34), select the Group number that corresponds to the D3LX circuit you want to configure, based on the module’s position in the remote unit.
3Select each field parameter and move from field to field as shown in Table 7. Assign the selections by pressing ENTER .
Leave Unit Service State field set to OOS (Out of Service) until the Unit Equip State has been set. This prevents false alarms. Set the Unit Service State to IS (In Service).
