Option Programming

How to Program Options
There are two ways to set options on the CM8 control modules. You can use the FT-OP500-KIT or most
Firstech remotes. The remotes include 4 or 5 button 1 and 2 Way remotes.

Option Programming Using the FT-OP500-KIT

The OP500 can be used to change anything in the Option Tables. It is required to change settings in the
Special Option Group.
STEP 1: Make sure system is unlocked/disarmed. Connect the antenna cable to the 4 or 6 pin port on
the top of the OP500. Once connected, the OP500 will power up as long as CN1 on the control module is
connected properly.
STEP 2: Use the left or right arrow keys on the OP500 to select option. Use the up or down arrow
buttons to select the option setting. "1" is the default setting, "2", "3", and "4" are the optional settings.
Special Option Group 1: Change the timed output of Auxiliary 1 and 2.
STEP 3: Hold the "W" (Write) button for 3 seconds. This finalize option changes to the control module.
Wait until OP500 displays "Success" before disconnecting.
To reset the options, hold the "R" (Reset) button and "W" (Write) buttons for 3 seconds. Then hold the
"W" button for 3 seconds.

programmed with 1 button remotes. IMPORTANT: Special Option Groups cannot be programmed with
remotes – OP500 must be used.
STEP 1: Select the option you wish to program. Use the correct remote table below:
