1 Introduction
Linear has added a local programming option for the AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, and AM3Plus access control panels.
Local programming is suitable for the system installers during the early stages of new building construction projects where a computer is not accessible for programming or when telephone lines are not yet available for connecting to the panels. Local programming allows for the setting of commonly programmed options directly from the panel keypad for the AE1000Plus and AE2000Plus units, and from an attached PBUS keypad
Local programming requires that each panel in the installation be programmed separately, regardless of whether the panels are physically connected in a network confi guration. Local programming can be used as a primary means of maintaining the panel as long as a PC is not used to connect to the installation. Upon an initial database update using
AccessBase2000 or an initial PPP connection to the primary node in AXNET,the existing local programming information will be erased from the panels in the installation.
It is highly recommended to use the worksheet provided in the back of this addendum to log locally programmed installation information in detail for record keeping or as a reference when the locally programmed units are switched over to PC programming.
2 Keypad Data Entry Keys
The keypads have the ten number keys. AE1000Plus and AM3Plus (with a remote keypad)
have also an asterisk “∗” and pound key “#”. For AE2000Plus, the 
key functions as the
asterisk “∗” and the 
key functions as the pound “#” key.
Generally, the asterisk is used to clear entry mistakes, and the pound key is used to signal the end of a fi eld entry.
During entry of a numeric fi eld, if the fi eld is not empty, the “∗” will clear the entry of the entire fi eld. If the fi eld is empty, the “∗” will take the user interface to the command entry level.
During entry of an alphanumeric fi eld, if the fi eld is not empty, the “∗” will clear the entries of the characters one at a time. If the fi eld is empty, the “∗” will take the user interface to the command entry level.
3 Entering Programming Mode
The controller database must be cleared before initial local programming can be performed. Setup Mode is entered by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for about one second. Scroll using the DOWN button to CL, then press ENTER.
On the AE1000Plus and AE2000Plus systems, enter Programming Mode by pressing the “0” and “2” keys simultaneously, followed by the system password (default 123456), then enter a “#”.
On the AM3Plus systems, enter Programming Mode by entering three pound signs (###), the system password (default 123456), followed by a “#”.
Programming Mode Time Out
If a correct master password is not entered within 10 seconds after the user attempts to enter Local Programming mode, the system will return to normal operation mode.
During Local Programming mode, if the keypad is idle for more than two minutes, the system will return to normal operation mode.
