Basic Programming

When you have finished installing the control panel, you can clear the panel memory, apply power and start programming.
Clear panel memory
Before programming, the panel memory needs to be cleared. To clear the memory, do the following:
1. Remove all power to the panel (AC and battery).
2. Short the KILL jumper (Figure 9).
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Open the KILL jumper.
The panel memory is now cleared and restored to factory defaults.
Power up the panel
On initial power-up, the panel's LEDs (Figure 9) should indicate:
L1
Comms Tx
Comms Rx
The master LCD arming station (RAS 1) should have all area LEDs lit (armed). After the RAS prompt, press MENU, then press CLEAR.
If there is a system condition (such as low battery), it will be indicated on the top line of the RAS display.
If the master RAS powers up, but no LEDs lit (on) and there is not LCD display, then no power has been applied to the RAS. If the RAS
powers up with all LEDs flashing and the display shows System Fault, then the system bus cabling may be faulty, or the RAS address has
been incorrectly set (RAS 1 address should be all DIP switches set to OFF).
Access programming menus
To disarm the system, enter 1122 (the default Manager PIN code), press OFF,
and enter 0 (select all areas).
To enter the system menu, press MENU, enter 1278 (default Installer PIN), and
press ENTER.
To access installer programming, enter 19 (installer programming menu), and
press ENTER.
To choose the advanced menu option, press MENU. To choose the simple
menu option, press ENTER.
Note: The simple menu option will limit access to a number of options in the Installer Programming Menu. We recommend that
you always choose the advanced menu option.
