6.2.3 Installer Programming
Installer Programming is used to manually program alarm system options. Access this mode by keying in [*][8][Installer
Code]. Use the scroll keys to navigate through the menus or jump directly to a specific section by keying in a section number.
Programming consists of toggling on and off options in each section or by populating data fields. For descriptions of all pro-
gramming options, see "Programming Descriptions" on page 67.
6.2.4 Viewing Programming
Programming sections can be viewed from any system keypad. The method for viewing and selecting programming options
using LCD, LED and ICON keypads depends on the keypad type used. See below for specific instructions on programming
with each keypad type.
Generally, programming options are accessed in the following way:
1. Enter Installer Programming mode ([*][8]).
2. Navigate to a specific programming section.
3. Select an option to view or change its programming.
All programming options are numbered and can be accessed by navigating through the menu (LCD) or by keying in the pro-
gram section number. For toggle options, the name of the option is displayed (LCD) or LEDs 1-8 are illuminated (LED and
ICON).
Use the keypad numbers to toggle options on or off. Sections requiring data input, such as phone numbers, display the full
data in fields up to 32 characters long (LCD). To input data, use the scroll keys to select a character then press the keypad
button corresponding to the number/letter required. Scroll to the next character and repeat the procedure as needed. Press
the [#] key to save changes and exit the program section.
The programming worksheets and descriptions later in this section provide a place to record custom programming settings
and are numerically listed to assist in locating specific sections.
Keypad Types
The sections below describe how programming is viewed and interpreted using each of the supported keypad types. For
more information on each keypad type, see the instruction sheet included with the keypad.
LED and ICON
Both of these keypads use LEDs to communicate information. The programming icon illuminates to indicate the alarm sys-
tem is in Installer Programming mode. The Armed light turns off and the Ready light turns on while in a programming section.
Programming sections fall under two categories: those that require options to be "toggled" on or off, and those that require
data to be keyed in.
Toggle options are indicated across the top of the display using zone numbers 1-8. For example, if options 1 and 4 are on,
the display appears as follows on the different keypads:
1 4
Figure 6-1 LED and ICON displays
To enable or disable a toggle option, press the number key on the keypad corresponding to the option.
