Mechanics of Programming

General Programming Information
Programming options are stored in nonremovable, electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEROM memory.
You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation. Simply apply
power temporarily to the Control and then program the unit as desired.
There are two programming modes:
• Data field programming (used for setting various system options)
• Interactive menu mode programming (used for programming zone information, programming Powerline Carrier
Devices, and for entering transmitter serial numbers)
You can also program this system remotely from the installer's office/home, using an IBM Personal Computer, a
modem, and V-LINK downloading software. See the Remote Programming/Control (Downloading) section.
Entering Program Mode
You may use one of the following methods:
a) Press both the [ ] and [#] keys at the same time within 50 seconds after power is applied to the Control, or
b) After power-up, enter the Installer Code (4 1 1 2) + 8 0 0.
This method is disabled if you exit the Program mode using *98 instead of *99.
If a different Installer Code is subsequently programmed, use it instead of 4112 to enter the Programming mode.
Following entry into Program mode, data field *20 will be displayed (this is the first data field in the system) and
both keypad LEDs will flash.
Programming a Data Field
1. Press [ ] + Field No. (for example, *21), then make the required entry.
2. When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad will "beep" three times and then automatically
display the next data field in sequence. To go to a different field, press [ ] plus the desired field number.
3. If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum number of digits available
(eg. phone number field), enter the desired data, then press [ ] and the next data field number to be programmed.
4. If you enter a nonexistent field, the keypad will display "EE". Simply re-enter [ ] plus a valid field number.
To view a data field without making changes, press [#] + Field No. Data will be displayed for that field.
To delete an entry in a field, press [ ] + Field No. + [ ]. (Applies only to fields
