TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE:

Local programming requires the use of an alpha keypad connected to the keypad terminals on the control.

1.	POWER UP, then depress	[✱] and [#] both at once, within 50 seconds of powering up.
	OR
2.	Initially, key: Installer Code	(default = 4112) plus 8 + 0 + 0.

Data Field Programming Procedures

Task	Procedure
Go to a Data Field	Press [ ∗ ] + [Field Number], followed by the required entry.
Entering Data	When the desired field number appears, simply make the required entry. When the last
	entry for a field is entered, the keypad beeps three times and automatically displays the
	next data field in sequence.
	If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum
	digits available (for example, the phone number fields *41, *42), enter the desired data,
	then press [ ∗ ] and the next data field number to be programmed to end the entry.
Review a Data Field	Press [#] + [Field Number].
	Data will be displayed for that field number. No changes will be accepted in this mode.
Deleting an Entry	Press [ ∗ ] + [Field Number] + [	∗ ]. (Applies only to fields	∗ 40–*46, *94, and pager
	programming fields)

Interactive Mode Programming (			∗ 56, *57,	∗ 58, ∗ 79, ∗ 80, ∗ 81, ∗ 82)
Press	[✱] + [Interactive Mode No.]		(for example,	✱56). The alpha display keypad will display the first of a series of prompts
requesting entries.
Interactive Mode			Used to Program
✱56 Zone Programming		Zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for 5800
			RF transmitters.
✱57 Function Key Programming		Unlabeled keypad keys (known as ABCD keys) for special functions
✱58 Zone Programming		Same options as *56 mode, but with fewer prompts. Intended for those familiar with
(Expert mode)			this type of programming, otherwise *56 mode is recommended.
✱79 Output Device Mapping		Assign module addresses and map individual relays/powerline carrier devices
✱80	Output Programming	4229 or 4204 Relay modules, Powerline Carrier devices, or on-board triggers
✱81	Zone List Programming	Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier activation, chime zones, pager zones, etc.
✱82	Alpha Programming	Zone alpha descriptors

INITIALIZE DOWNLOAD and RESET DEFAULTS

✱96 Initializes download ID and subscriber account number.

✱97 Sets all data fields to original factory default values.

TO EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE:
✱98	Exits programming mode and	prevents		re-entry by:	Installer Code	+ 8	+ 0 + 0 . To reenter the programming mode,
	the system must be powered down, then powered up, then press both					[✱] and [#]at same time within 50 seconds
	of powering up (method 1 described above), UNLESS			Local Lockout (in field *91) is enabled.			If so, re-entry to
	programming mode is permitted	only	by	Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0 (method 2 described above).
✱99	Exits programming mode and	allows	re-entry by:		Installer Code + 8	+ 0	+ 0 or method 1 above.

Special Messages

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

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

After powering up, AC, dI This will revert to a “ Ready

delay by pressing [#] + [0].

(disabled) or Busy Standby and NOT READY will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds. ” message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can bypass this

IfE4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. Correct the programming and then completely de-power and re-power the control to clear this indication and remove the disable indication.
