Data Field program mode is the program mode through which many system
options are programmed. The field numbers on the program form show the
number of entries required for each field. When an entry is completed, the
keypad "beeps" three times and advances to the next field. At this point, you can
either make the required entry in the new field, or press * + the next field number
you want to program.
There are several "question and answer" modes, which we call "Menu" modes
that can be accessed once Data Field program mode has been entered. These
modes prompt the user for information, and for this reason, a 2-line alpha keypad
(6139/6139R) is required.
• The system is shipped with a set of pre-programmed default values that are
designed to meet the needs of many installations. These can be changed by
the installer to suit specific needs if desired.
• There are four sets of pre-programmed communication defaults available,
including Low Speed, 4+2 Express, Ademco High Speed, and Ademco
Contact ID. Loading one of these defaults automatically programs industry
standard codes that will suit most of your needs.
• These defaults can be changed directly from the 6139(R) alpha keypad or
they can be changed by using V-LINK downloading software (be sure that the
software version used includes the VISTA-100). Downloading can be
performed either remotely from an IBM compatible computer (using an
approved modem) or at the job site (direct-wire download using the 4100SM
Serial Module)
The factory loaded defaults (*97) enable keypad addresses 00-03 only. A keypad
set to one of these addresses must be used to program the system.
1. Enter program mode using either method A or B:
A) Press both the [*] and [#] keys at the same time within 30 seconds after
power is applied to the Control.
B) Enter the [Installer Code] + [8] + [0] + [0] + [0] keys. The factory installer
code can be changed once in the program mode (field *00).
Local keypad programming can be disabled through VLink downloading software.
If this is done, programming can only be accomplished via the downloading
software.
