Introduction

The FS-250 Fire Alarm Control Panels are completely field programmable. Although
programming requires no special software skills, a thorough working knowledge of
Fire Alarm Control Panels and devices is assumed. There are two ways to program
an FS-250 fire alarm system control unit:
1. Auto Program. Using Auto Program will quickly configure the FACP in a General
Alarm configuration.
2. Manual Program. Editing the program manually using the keypad.
Both methods require that the Technician password be entered so that the
Technician functions may be accessed. Jump to the Quick Start section if you need
