Operating Panel Program Mode
The Operating Panel Program mode is to establish the operating panel's parameters.
Selecting CHANGE on the parameter screen while in the operating panel program mode brings up the
change menu. From this screen, the system will allow:
•
Any of the RS-485 communication parameters to be changed.
•
The keypad and screen of the operating panel to be tested for proper operation.
•
The adjustment of the contrast level of the screen.
•
The operating panel to be placed in a temporary training mode.
•
The operating panel to be configured as an annunciator.
Changing Parameters
To change any parameter, select the parameter to be changed, enter the new value at the keypad, and
then select ENTER. The following table explains the parameters and the values to be chosen:

Adjusting the Contrast Level
The contrast of the screen can be adjusted at any time, without entering a code, by simultaneously

increased by pressing CONTRAST (+) or decreased by pressing CONTRAST (-).
If the AC and battery power are temporarily disconnected, the contrast setting that is adjusted by the
method described above will be overridden by the contrast setting established via the operating panel
parameter screen.
