3.2 User Programming
The Unimode 9600 is completely field programmable and requires no special software
skills. While programming the Unimode 9600, the fire protection capabilities of the
control panel are enabled.
Site-specific programming may be accomplished in three ways:
Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the
FACP addressable SLC devices on-line without the necessity of programming each
device individually. Refer to "Autoprogram" on page 87 for a detailed description
of Autoprogramming
Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad or a PC keyboard
Off-line Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-
specific custom programs using a Windows-based computer. For programs
requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. A PK-9600
programming kit can be ordered for this purpose
The System All Normal screen will be displayed in a programmed system with no active
alarms, troubles or supervisories, as illustrated below:
Programming and Read Status mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of
operation. If the panel is in alarm, the alarm condition must be acknowledged before
entering other modes. To access any of the programming or read status features, the Enter
or Mode key must be pressed, which will cause the LCD to display the following:
Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the
Read Status feature which allows the user to view the programmed features and status of
the control panel The Read Status feature is not password protected. Refer to "Read
Status" on page 117 for a detailed description of this feature.
Pressing 2 will select user Programming which may only be accomplished by an
authorized person. After pressing 2, a screen will prompt for a password. After entering
the correct password, the user may select from a list of programming options.
Exit Programming or Read Status
The programmer can exit Read Status or Programming mode by repeatedly pressing the
keypad ESC (Escape) key until the display reads System All Normal. Note that the data
which is entered during Programming mode is not saved until the programmer exits this
mode by repeatedly pressing the ‘ESC’ key. If the Reset key is pressed or power is lost
before exiting Programming mode, all data which was just entered will be lost.
