General Information

The Menu Mode Programming is an interactive mode through which much of the system's zone and alpha programming
is done. In this mode, there are "question and answer" prompts. These require a 2-line alpha keypad (FA570KP).
Fields 56 is used to program zone numbers, zone types, and alarm report codes. This field can also be used for
entering alpha descriptors for zones (however, we recommend entering descriptors in menu mode 82.

Menu Mode Programming

EXPLANATION
Zone Number (Zn): Enter the zone number that you wish to program (or [0][0] to leave zone
programming).
Press []. A summary display will come up, showing the status of that zone's program.
If it is programmed satisfactorily, press [#] to back up one step and enter another zone number, if
desired.
If the zone is not programmed, or you want to change it, press []. A prompt for Zone Type will
appear.
Zone Type (ZT): Each zone must be assigned to a zone type, which defines the way in which
the system responds to faults in that zone.
Enter the zone type code (or change it, if necessary). Zone types are listed below.
00 = Not Used
06 = 24 Hr Silent
(DO NOT USE)
07 = 24 Hr Audible Alarm
(DO NOT USE)
When the display shows the zone type you want, press [] to advance.
Report Code (RC): The report code consists of 2 hexadecimal digits, each in turn consisting of
2 numerical digits. For example, for a report code of "3C", enter [0][3] for "3" and [1][2] for "C".
Enter the numbers and press [] to advance to the Summary Display.
NOTE: Report codes for Fire Alarms cannot be disabled and are always sent to the central
station regardless of the report code entered.
Typical Summary Display. A summary of the programmed values for the selected zone will be
displayed.
If all is okay, press [].
Custom Alpha Editing: For all zone types, the next request is to enter Alpha descriptors for the
zones. The entry may be done now (enter 1), or may be done at a later time via  82 mode
(enter 0).
See Field 82 Alpha Description Programming for the detailed procedure later in this section.
