Programming Overview

About Programming

You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation.

Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s office/home, using an IBM personal computer, a modem, and Compass downloading software.

The following is a list of the various Programming modes used to program this system.

Programming Mode…

Used to …

Data Field Programming

Program basic data fields used for setting the various system options.

 

Most of the data fields in this system have been programmed for specific default

 

values. However, some fields must be programmed for each particular installation to

 

establish its specific alarm and reporting features.

56 Zone Programming

Assign zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for

 

5800 RF transmitters. See *56 Zone Programming in Section 5. Menu Mode

 

Programming for procedures for programming zones.

57 Function Key

Program each of the four alphabet function keys to perform one of several system

Programming

operations.

58 Zone Programming

Similar to ∗56 mode, but provides a faster programming procedure and is intended for

(Expert Mode)

those more experienced in programming controls of this type.

79 Output Device Mapping

Assign device addresses used by 4229 or 4204 Relay modules and map specific relays

 

and device outputs, and assign unit codes for Powerline Carrier devices.

 

See About Output Device Programming in Section 5. Menu Mode

 

Programming for details on setting devices for manual/automatic operation.

80 Output Definitions

Define up to 48 output definitions which can control the output relays mapped using

 

*79 Output Device Mapping mode.

81 Zone List Programming

Create Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier zones, chime, night-stay, cross zones,

 

and pager zones.

82 Alpha Programming

Create alpha descriptors for easy zone identification.

Scheduling Mode

Create schedules to automate various system functions.

Mechanics of Programming

To program the system from a keypad:

You must use a 2-line Alpha display keypad.

Both partitions must be disarmed.

Data Field Programming Procedures

Task

Procedure

Entering Program Mode

A) Press both [∗] and [#] at the same time within 50 seconds after power is applied,

 

OR

 

B) After power-up, enter [Installer code (4-1-1-2)] + 8 0 0 (long beep indicates one of the

 

partitions is armed and system cannot enter program mode).

 

(method “B” is disabled if you exit Program mode using ∗98)

Go to a Data Field

Press [∗] + [Field Number]. A display of “EE” or “Entry Error” means you have entered a

 

nonexistent field. Simply re-enter [∗] plus a valid field number.

Entering Data

When the desired field number appears, simply enter the digits required. The keypad

 

beeps three times after the last digit is entered and automatically displays the next data

 

field in sequence.

 

If entering less than the maximum digits available (e.g., phone number field), enter the

 

desired digits, then press [∗] to end the entry.

Review a Data Field

Press [#] + [Field Number]. The field’s data is displayed, but no changes can be made.

Deleting an Entry

Press [∗] + [Field No.] + [∗] (applies only to phone number, account number, and pager

 

character fields).
