Mechanics of Programming
General Programming Information
Programming options are stored in
•Data field programming (used for setting various system options)
•Interactive menu mode programming (used for programming zone information, programming Powerline Carrier
Devices, and for entering transmitter serial numbers)
The system can also be programmed remotely, using an IBM Personal Computer, a modem, and Compass Downloader for Windows. See the Remote Programming/Control (Downloading) section.
Note:
!
You may find it convenient to adjust the volume setting before entering the Program Mode. This will allow you to clearly hear the feedback announcements or system beeps in the Programming Mode, of the system’s
Certain features differ between the LYNXR/LYNXR24 and the
Entering Program Mode - Use one of the following methods to enter Programming Mode:
1.Press both the [✻] and [#] keys at the same time, within 50 seconds after power is applied to the Control or from exiting Programming mode, OR
2.After
Notes: 1. If a different Installer Code has been programmed, use that code to enter the Programming mode. Once you have entered the Program mode, data field ✻20 (the first data field in the system) will be displayed and both keypad LEDs will flash.
2.Entering Programming mode may take up to 18 seconds if the 5842 Wireless Dialer has been enabled. The system will display “ - - “ until the Lynx enters Programming mode.
Programming a Data Field
1.Press [✻] + Field No. (for example, ✻21), followed by the required entry.
2.When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad will “beep” three times and then automatically display the next data field in sequence. To go to a different field, press [✻] plus the desired field number.
3.If the number of digits that will be entered in a data field is less than the maximum number of digits available (e.g. phone number field), enter the desired data, then press [✻] to advance to the next data field.
4.If a nonexistent field has been entered, the keypad will display “EE”. Simply
To delete an entry in a field: Enter [✻] + Field No. + [✻]. (Applies only to fields
Press [✻] + interactive mode No. (for example, ✻56). The keypad will display the first of a series of prompts. A detailed procedure (with displays of prompts) is provided in later sections of this manual.
| Interactive Mode | Used to Program |
✻56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode | Zone characteristics, report codes, and serial numbers | |
✻80 Device Programming Menu Mode | Powerline Carrier Devices | |
✻81 | Zone List Menu Mode | Zone Lists for powerline carrier activation |
✻83 | Enhanced Sequential Mode | 5800 Series transmitter serial numbers |
✻84 | Assign Zone Voice Descriptors | Voice descriptors for each zone |
✻85 | Record Custom Voice Descriptors | Up to 5 custom voice descriptors for zones |
Loading Factory Defaults
To load the factory defaults, enter the Programming mode, press ✻97, then press number 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select from default tables
!If a default table is loaded, any data that has already been programmed into the system will be changed according to the default table selected!
✻96 resets all subscriber account numbers and CSID in preparation for an initial download.
Exiting Program Mode
✻98 inhibits
✻99 allows
