while you are programming, simply press the CANCEL key to get back to the status display. Then you can see which alarm is sounding and disarm the system. It is recom- mended that you program the system with the security system OFF.

PROGRAM STORAGE

When you program your system, programs are stored in a type of memory called battery backed RAM in the Model 1503 Control/Communica- tor. These programs will not be lost even if AC power fails, even if the battery is dead (but not disconnected). You will not have to reprogram your system every time there is a power failure.

The Model 1503 will hold up to 256 programs. The console will indicate “PROGRAM SPACE FULL” if you try to enter more than 256 programs.

TIMED PROGRAMS

Programming home control and security functions is exactly like turning unit numbers on and off, bright, dim, etc., except you press the PROG key first to tell the Model 1503 that you want to program this command instead of executing it now. Then you enter the command, just as you do when you are not programming, then you enter a time and a date or days of the week that you want it to happen.
