User Programming

3.2 User Programming
The FACP is completely field programmable and requires no special software skills. While pro-
gramming the FACP, the fire protection capabilities of the control panel are enabled. Program-
ming mode will time-out following 10 minutes of inactivity.
Site-specific programming may be accomplished in three ways:
• Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the FACP
addressable SLC devices on-line without the necessity of programming each device
individually. Refer to "Autoprogram" on page 67 for a detailed description of
Autoprogramming
• Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad or a PC keyboard
• Remote Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom
programs using a Windows-based computer and modem. For programs requiring a large
amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. A PK-CD programming CD-ROM can be
ordered for this purpose
• Local Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom
programs using a Windows-based computer and the DACT-UD2 USB connection on the
MS-9600UDLS or Serial Port connection on TB7 of the MS-9600LS. For programs requiring
a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. A PK-CD programming CD-ROM
can be ordered for this purpose
The System All Normal screen will be displayed in a programmed system with no active alarms,
troubles or supervisories, as illustrated below:
Read Status mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of operation. If an alarm or super-
visory event exists at the panel, the event must be cleared before entering Programming mode. To
access any of the programming or read status features, the Enter or Mode key must be pressed,
which will cause the LCD to display the following:
Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the Read Sta-
tus feature which allows the user to view the programmed features and status of the control panel
The Read Status feature is not password protected. Refer to "Read Status" on page 138 for a
detailed description of this feature.
Pressing 2 will select user Programming which may only be accomplished by an authorized person.
After pressing 2, a screen will prompt for a password. After entering the correct password, the user
may select from a list of programming options.
Pressing 3 will select Remote Download which allows the user to enable the remote programming
option. Refer to the DACT-UD2 manual P/N 53037.
Exit Programming or Read Status
The programmer can exit Read Status or Programming mode by repeatedly pressing the keypad
ESC (Escape) key until the display reads System All Normal. Ten minutes of inactivity will also
cause the FACP to exit Programming mode. Note that the data which is entered during Program-
ming mode is not saved until the programmer exits this mode by repeatedly pressing the 'ESC' key.
If the Reset key is pressed or power is lost before exiting Programming mode, all data which was
just entered will be lost.
