Creating Partition Descriptors

Creating A Custom

Message Display (Installer's

Message)

1.Select "Part DESCRIPT." mode. The system will ask for the partition number desired. Enter the number as a single key.

2.Follow the same procedure as for CUSTOM WORDS, except that partition descriptors are limited to four (4) characters (ex. WHSE for warehouse).

Normally, when the system is in the disarmed state, the following display is present on the Keypad.

**** DISARMED ****

READY TO ARM

Part or all of the above message can be modified to create a custom installer message for each partition. For example, **** DISARMED **** on the first line or READY TO ARM on the second line could be replaced by the installation company name or phone number for service. Note that there are only 16 character spaces on each of the two lines. To create a custom display message, proceed as follows:

1.Select DEFAULT SCREEN mode. The keypad will ask for the partition number for this message. Enter the partition number. Press [*] to accept entry.

The following will appear:

**** DISARMED ****

READY TO ARM

A cursor will be present at the extreme left of the first line (over the first "star"). The [6] key is used to move the cursor to the right and the [4] key to move the cursor to the left. Key [7] may be used to insert spaces or erase existing characters.

2.For example, to replace the READY TO ARM words with the message: SERVICE:424-0177, proceed as follows:

Press the [6] key to move the cursor to the right, and continue until the cursor is positioned over the first location on the second line.

Press the [3] key to advance through the alphabet to the first desired character (in this case, "S"). Use the [1] key to go backward, when necessary. When the desired character is reached, press [6]. The cursor will then move to the next position, ready for entry of the next character (in this example, "E"). When the cursor reaches a position over an existing character, pressing the [3] or [1] key will advance or back up from that character in the alphabet. Proceed in this manner until all characters in the message have been entered.

3.To store this new display message in memory, press the [8] key.

4.The system will ask for a new partition number. Enter 00 to quit or 1Ð2 for a new partition number.
