AVS QUICK PROGRAMMING COMMANDS (for AAV sessions using the AVS system)

For controls with the following firmware revision levels, these commands automatically configure the control for AVS operation. FA148CP = version 6.0 or higher; FA168CPS = version 7.0 or higher

•installer code + [#] + 03: enable AVS operation

•installer code + [#] + 04: enable AVS operation and enable panels sounds on the AVST speaker

•installer code + [#] + 05: remove all programming options that were set if [#] + 03 quick command was performed

•installer code + [#] + 06: remove all programming options that were set if [#] + 04 quick command was performed Refer to the AVS SYSTEM ENABLE and QUICK PROGRAMMING COMMANDS section for details on the specific options

that are set with each command, depending on the control used.

Special Messages

OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between Keypad and Control).

EEor ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered; re-enter valid field number).

After powering up, AC, dI (disabled) or Busy Standby and NOT READY will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds. This will revert to a “Ready” message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can bypass this delay by pressing [#] + [0].

If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. The display will clear after you correct the programming.

IMPORTANT: The Real-Time Clock must be set before the end of the installation. See procedure in the Setting the Real-Time Clock section of this manual.
