Programming the Panel
This section describes how to program all settings found in
programming mode. For on-site system programming, an
alphanumeric touchpad is required.

Entering Programming Mode

Enter programming mode on site from an alphanumeric
touchpad using an installer/dealer code (default = 4321).
The system can be put into program mode only when it is
disarmed.
To enter programming mode using an
alphanumeric touchpad connected to the panel
terminals:
1. Make sure the system is disarmed.
2. Press 8 + CODE + 0 + 0 . The touchpad shows SYS-
TEM PROGRAMMING.
To enter programming mode using a programming
touchpad:
1. Connect the red, black, green, and white wires from the
Programming Touchpad Cable (60-791) to the power
and bus wires on an alphanumeric touchpad while
8642G20A.DSF
matching the wire colors on each.
2. Make sure the system is powered up and disarmed.
3. Connect the plug on the cable onto the panel program-
ming touchpad header (see Figure 23).

Use extreme caution when securing the trans-
former to a metal outlet cover. You could receive a
serious shock if a metal outlet cover drops down
onto the prongs of the plug while you are securing
the transformer and cover to the outlet box.
œÌi
If the programming touchpad is connected before the
panel is powered up, it will be added (learned) into
panel memory as a permanent touchpad.
