MECHANICS OF PROGRAMMING

This section provides information on how programming is performed in this
system. It will enable you to understand how to enter and exit the programming
mode, and how to program the data fields and the user-friendly interactive menu
modes ( 56, 80, 81, 82, 83). We therefore urge you to read and understand
the following before proceeding with any programming.
The following program fields must be programmed (as required) before doing
any zone programming.

25. WIRED EXPANSION/RELAY USED
Explanations of these fields are found in the DATA FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
section in this manual.

General Programming Information

Characteristics for each installation are stored in non-removable, electrically
erasable, non-volatile EEROM memory. These must be programmed for the
particular installation to establish its specific alarm and reporting features.
It is possible to program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises
prior to the ac tual installation. Simply apply power temporarily to the control
and then program the unit as desired.
Note: You cannot enter the programming mode unless the system is
There are two programming modes: data field programming and interactive
menu mode programming. Data field programming is used for setting various
system options and menu mode programming is used for programming zone
information, programming relay outputs, and for entering 5800 series
transmitter serial numbers.
To program the system, you must use a 5137AD or 6139 2-line Alpha keypad
connected to the keypad terminals on the control (4, 5, 6, & 7). The Alpha
keypad need not necessarily remain in the system after programming.
Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer's office/home,
using an IBM personal computer, a modem, and Windows downloading software.
See the REMOTE PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL (DOWNLOADING)
section in this manual .
Entering the 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 1) + 8 + 0.
Method (b) is disabled if you exit the program mode using
99. See "Exiting the Program Mode" paragraph later in this section.
If a different INSTALLER code is subsequently programmed, use it in stead
of 4111 to gain access to the Programming mode.
Following entry into the program mode, data field 20 will be displayed (this is
the first field in the system). The system will now accept entries for field 20.
You can then proceed with the required programming (see the next paragraph
"Programminng a Data Field").
