• In field *56, at the summary line for each zone, the entered values can be
checked. If you wish to change anything, press [#] to move to the previous
entry. Press [#] a number of times to move to earlier entries. Press [ ] to
move to later entries again.
• Zone entries can be reviewed by pressing [#][5][6]. Changes cannot be
made here, so this is safer for review. Enter the first zone number to be
viewed and press [#]. To view each zone, press [#] and the zone number
will advance to the next programmed zone. When the end of the list is
reached, press [0][0] to exit. This method of exiting may also be done at any
time during the review.
• To either temporarily or permanently remove a zone from the system, go
into programming mode and press [ ][5][6]. Enter the zone number and
press [ ]. At the Zone Type prompt, enter [0][0] and [ ]. This sets the type
of the zone to Not Used. The next prompt will be "Delete Zone?". "Yes" will
permanently remove the zone from the system, while "No" will disable it but
re tain all data except the original zone type. You can then go back to this
zone later and put back an active Zone Type to re-enable it.
Before mounting transmitters permanently, conduct Go/No Go tests to verify
adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary.
During this mode, wireless receiver gain is reduced by 50%. Testing in this
mode assists in determining good mounting locations for the transmitters and
verifies that the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude margin for the
installed system.
1. Enter the Installer Code + # + 4
2. Once transmitters are placed in their desired locations and the approximate
length of wire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw
terminals, fault each transmitter in turn. Do not conduct this test with your
hand wrapped around the transmitter as this will cause inaccurate results.
• The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception.
• If the keypad does not beep, re-orient or move the transmitter to another
location. Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.

interactive menu mode.
If "0" (no) was entered in response to the
P ro g ra m A lp h a ? question, a prompt will then
be displayed for entry of the number for the next
wireless zone to be programmed.
12. Proceed with the programming of the next
wireless zone, starting at step 5 again.
13. To exit field 56 when completed, key [0 ][0] at
the "Enter Zone Number" prompt.
