Exiting The Program Mode; Programming Data - GE NX-4-EUR Installation Manual

EXITING THE PROGRAM MODE

When all the desired changes in programming have been made, it is time to exit the program
mode. Press the [Exit] key to exit this programming level, and go to the "Select a Module To
Program" level. If no additional modules are to be programmed, press the [Exit] key again to
exit the program mode. If there is a module to be programmed, you can select it by entering
its address, followed by the [#] key (see "Selecting the Module To Program" above). The
procedure for programming these devices is the same as for the control panel, except that the
locations will be for the module selected.

PROGRAMMING DATA

There are only two possible types of programming data. One type of data is numerical: data of
this type can assume values from 0 -15 or 0 -255, depending on the location's segment. The
other type is feature selection data: this data is used to turn features on or off. Use the
following procedures when working with these two data types:
Numerical data: entering a number from 0-255 on the numeric keys of the system keypad
programs numerical data. To view the data in a location, a binary process is used. With this
process, the LED's for zones 1 through 8 are utilized, and the numeric equivalents of their
illuminated LED's are added together to determine the data in a programming location. The
numeric equivalents of these LED's are as follows:
Zone 1 LED = 1
Zone 5 LED = 16
Example: If the numerical data to be programmed in a location is "66", press [6]-[6] on the
keypad. The LED's for zone 2 and zone 7 will light up, showing that 66 is in this location (2 + 64
= 66). See the example p. 26.
Once the data has been programmed, press the [*] key to enter the data, and advance to the
next segment of that location. After the last segment of a location has been programmed,
press the [*] key to exit from that location - this turns the "Ready" LED off and the "Armed" LED
on. As before, you are now ready to enter another programming location. If you try to
program a number that is too large for a particular segment, the keypad sounder will emit a
triple beep to indicate an error, and will remain in that segment awaiting a valid entry. Remark:
On the LCD keypad, the number in the location will be displayed. For locations with a
maximum of 15, the hexadecimal equivalent will be displayed in parenthesis. Example: 11 (B)
or 14 (E).
Feature selection data: feature selection data will display the current condition (on or off) of
eight features associated with the selected programming location and segment. If you press a
button on the keypad (1 to 8) that corresponds to the "feature number" within a segment, this
will toggle the feature (on/off). By pressing any numeric key between [1] and [8] to select a
feature, you will make the corresponding LED light up (feature ON). Press the number again,
and the LED will go out (feature OFF). You will see that numerous features can be selected
from within one segment. For instance, if you want all eight features of a segment, pressing
[1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6]-[7]-[8] will turn on LED's 1 to 8 as you press the keys, indicating that those
features are enabled. After you have selected the setting of the features for this segment,
press the [*] key. This will enter the data and advance automatically to the next segment of
the location. When you are in the last segment of a location and you press the [*] key to enter
the data, you will exit from that location as well. This will turn off the "Ready" LED, and will turn
on the "Armed" LED. As before, you are now ready to enter another programming location.
