INSTALLATION

Programming

All system programming resides in the ISH1 Hub. For a six-zone system with ISK1 Basic Keypads, programming consists only of setting the doorbell chimes. For a system with ISK2 Advanced Keypads, programming includes assigning zone and door sta- tion labels. For a system with more than six zones, programming includes setting hub ID numbers.

When multiple hubs are used, the zone and door label settings are initially stored in the hub to which the keypad is connected. Upon exiting the program- ming procedure, the settings are copied to the other hubs.

Hub 1 serves as the master hub for storing all zone and door label settings. Whenever the system power is cycled, the settings are copied from hub 1 to the other hubs.

Hub ID numbers

In a system with multiple ISH1 Hubs, each hub must have a unique ID number. This is manually assigned on the 4-switch HUB ID DIP before the system is powered up. To assign the ID number, set switches 1 through 3 as shown in table 1.

Switch 4 enables a programming mode for updating the system firmware. Leave this switch in the up position for system operation.

Doorbell chimes

A single 8-switch DIP assigns doorbell chimes for both door stations. Switches 1 through 3 select the chime for door 1 and switches 5 through 7 select the chime for door 2. There are 7 chime options, with a setting for no chime when a separate door- bell system is used. To select the chimes, set the switches as shown in table 2.

Switch 4 selects how the chime volume level is managed. Setting the switch to 1 (up) sets the chime volume level to a fixed level at 50% of the maximum keypad output in all zones. This causes the chime to play at the same level in all zones. Setting the switch to 0 (down) allows the chime vol- ume to be determined by the keypad volume level setting in each zone independently.
