ALPHA DESCRIPTOR PROGRAMMING

This section provides instructions for programming alpha descriptors, which is recommended
for systems using alpha keypads.
The ALPHA VOCABULARY LIST and CHARACTER CHART are found later in this section.

Assigning Zone Descriptors

The alpha keypad used with the 5110XM can have a user-friendly English
language description/location of all protection zones and keypad emergency
zones programmed into the system. Each description can be composed of a
combination of words (up to a maximum of 3) selected from a vocabulary of
249 words stored in memory (listed later in this section). In addition, up to 5
installer-defined words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when
an alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for that
zone's location will be displayed at the keypad.
