If the 5881 Receiver is to be
mounted remotely (not in the
control's cabinet), place it in
a high, centrally located
area for best reception.

can be used. "Option 1, whose procedure is-described in general below, and in
detail in PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM on page 21, involves having the system
learn each transmitter to be used in the system. Option 2 (to be available soon),
described below, involves the downloader, where the IDs can be entered
manually at the office and then downloaded to an operating system.
OPTION 1
Learning and Assigning iD Codes at the Controi
Each transmitter sends its unique serial number with each transmission, but since
some devices have more than one sensor point (input), and the sensor point is
part of the ID, each ID must be learned and assigned separately.
As part of the programming of each zone, the device type is entered, and follow-
ing that, the display of "Learn S/N?" comes up. If the control is to be taught the
IDs now, pressing [1] will get the display "Transmit Now".
The control program is now at a zone number to be assigned to a given transmit-
ter input (multi-point contact, single-point motion detector, single-point smoke
detector, multi-point emergency transmitter, etc.). A transmitter will either be al-
ready installed, or one of a group of transmitters to be installed at a given site. The
corresponding transmitter point (input) is then activated to generate a complete
event transmission (e.g., opening and closing a contact, closing and opening a
contact, pressing and releasing a button, causing alarm and restore, etc.). The re-
sulting transmission will contain an ID code identifying the device by serial number
and its activated point.
If the ID code of this first transmission event has not been previously learned, the
assignment of zone number and ID code (device serial number and sensor point)
is stored in the control memory, Concurrent with this first event, the console emits
a single, short sound to acknowledge this fact and to request a duplicate trans-
mission event to verify the assignment. Upon completion of a second identical
transmission event (within a pre-determined time limit), the control compares this
second (verify) event with the first (learn) event. If the two events match, the con-
trol keeps the assignment in EEPROM memory and the console emits a double,
short acknowledge sound.
If the ID of the first transmission event was previously learned, a single, long error
sound is emitted. If the second (verify) transmission event does not match the
first (learn) transmission event, the ID of the first transmission event is erased and
the assignment is discarded.
In this mode, the selected zone number for that transmitter sensor point together
with other system attributes associated with that particular zone are concurrently
assigned to the "learned" ID code.

section on page 34.
At the downloader computer location, the downloader for the Ademco via30 is
brought up.
The identification code numbers can be entered at the screens where the zone
characteristics and communicator reporting codes are entered. If the 5800 RF
system has been properly selected (RF expander type 5881 ) on a previous
screen, the type of transmitter and identification code (which includes input loop
data) can be entered on the same line as the other items for each zone. The fac-
tory pre-recorded serial number is read from the non-removable portion of the
transmitter case in a 7-decimal digit (telephone number) format.
Mark the transmitters to be used in the installation (multi-point contact, single-
point motion detector, single point smoke detector, multi-point emergency sen-
sor, etc.) and enter their ID codes when programming other data for the system.
When the data that defines the system is downloaded,
will be downloaded also and stored in EEPROM memory.
