Using Data Field Program Mode
You can program many system options through Data Field Program Mode. The field
numbers on the program form show the number of entries required for each field. When
you complete an entry, the keypad beeps three times and advances to the next field. You can
then either make the required entry in the new field, or press
number you want to program.
There are several "question and answer" modes, called "Menu" modes, that can be accessed
once you enter Data Field Program Mode. These modes prompt you for information, and for
this reason, a 2-line alpha keypad (6139/6139R) is required.
System and Communication Defaults
• The system is shipped with a set of pre-programmed default values that are designed to
meet the needs of many installations. You can change these values to suit specific needs.
• There are four sets of pre-programmed communication defaults available, including Low
Speed, 4+2 Express, ADEMCO High Speed, and ADEMCO Contact ID. Loading one of
these defaults automatically programs industry standard codes that will suit most of your
needs.
• The defaults can be changed directly from the 6139(R) alpha keypad or they can be
changed by using V-LINK downloading software (be sure that the software version you
use includes the VISTA-100).
You can download either remotely from an IBM-compatible computer (using an approved
modem) or at the job site (direct-wire download using the 4100SM Serial Module).
The factory-loaded defaults ( 97) enable keypad addresses 00-03 only. You must use a keypad
that is set to one of these addresses in order to program the system.
