Sequential Mode (For 5800 Transmitters) - First Alert FA142C Installation Instructions Manual

Section 14. SEQUENTIAL MODE
(for 5800 Series Wireless Transmitters)
Use this mode only after all other zone information has
been programmed, including transmitter loop numbers.
There are two methods of enrolling – you can enroll each transmitter into the system as you are
entering the zone information in field 56 (the procedure will be found in the WIRELESS (RF) ZONE
EXPANSION section), or you can enroll all the transmitters in
information has been entered in field 56. The enrolling method in 83 is called the "sequential mode"
and is described in this section.
The enrolling method in 83 is called "sequential enrolling" and is described in this section.
As an option, the new sequential mode allows you to use a 5804 button-type transmitter as a
"program tool." The advantage of using a program tool is that it enables remote enrollment. You can
move to the physical location of the transmitter to be enrolled, press the upper left-hand button of the
program tool, and then trip the intended transmitter (see step 10 for operation). The transmitter that you
use as the program tool can also be used as a transmitter in the system. If you plan to use an existing
transmitter, it must first be enrolled into the system as its associated zones. You may then program it
as the tool.
An alpha keypad is required for the following procedures.

To enroll transmitters sequentially, after all other zone information has
been programmed, do the following:
1. Enter Programming mode [Installer Code] + 8 + 0 on an alpha
keypad. Enter the Serial Number Sequential mode by pressing 83.
The following prompt will be displayed.
2. If using a program tool, enter "1." If not using a tool, enter "0." If a tool
has already been programmed, this prompt will not appear. If either
not using a tool or one has already been programmed, skip to step 4.
3. If "1" is entered, the system will prompt for the transmitter's serial
number. Enter the program tool's serial number using one of the
following methods:
a) Enter the 7-digit serial number printed on the transmitter
or
b) Press any button on the transmitter. The keypad should beep
twice and display the serial number of the tool.
In this example, the serial number is A123-4567. Once enrolled, the
upper left-hand button of the program tool can be pressed to ready the
system for enrolling a transmitter into the system.
The serial number for the program tool will only remain in the
system until the programming mode is exited. (Entering
not delete the tool.)
Press [ ] to continue.
Pressing the [#] key on the keypad will cause the system to back up to
the "Program Tool ?" prompt.
4. Enter the first zone number to be enrolled (e.g., zone 10).
Press [ ] to continue.
The system will, starting with this zone number, search for the first
transmitter which has all of the following attributes pre-programmed in
Zone Programming:
a) An input type of RF, UR, or BR programmed
b) A loop number programmed
c) No serial number programmed
If the first zone number entered does not have one or more of the above
attributes, the system will search its database for the first zone that does
and will display it on the next screen.
