TANDEM LCD MODE

 

Tandem mode allows the LCD and keyboard of an F3200 panel or NDU to be operated from a device on the printer/programmer port or from another device on the network.

F3200 or NDU V2.07 or later software allow Tandem LCD mode operation.

There are three “modes” of Tandem LCD operation and only one mode may be active at any one time.

1.Local Tandem LCD mode.

A terminal or computer connected to serial port zero of the Controller can initiate local Tandem LCD mode by “pressing” the RETURN/ENTER key, entering the password and selecting the “L” option.

This mode allows full programming of the Controller to be done including database load, save and verify, and "text load”. “Text load” refers to the loading of text names for zones and relays.

To initiate this using a local Tandem LCD connection, select the main text programming menu “1:site, 2:zone, 3:relay” etc, and press the EDIT key on the remote device’s keypad. The remote text entry prompt will then be output.

2.“Controlled” Tandem LCD mode.

A networked F3200 or NDU can have its LCD accessed across the network and be “controlled” via a Tandem LCD connection to the serial port of another panel on the network. In this mode, database save, load, verify and text load operations cannot be done.

3.“Controlling” Tandem LCD mode.

A networked F3200 and NDU allows a Tandem LCD connection to its local serial port to access the LCD of another panel on the network. This mode is initiated by entering the SID number of the panel being connected to after entering the Tandem LCD password.

A password is required to enter tandem LCD mode. A password of up to 12 characters can be programmed using Option 7 from the F3200 text programming menu.
