The MS-9600 is completely field programmable and requires no special software skills.
While programming the MS-9600, the fire protection capabilities of the control panel
are enabled.
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 48 for
a detailed description of Autoprogramming
• Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad or a PC keyboard
• Off-line Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-
specific custom programs using a Windows-based computer. For programs
requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. A PK-CD
programming kit 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:
FIRE-LITE ALARMS INC
SYSTEM ALL NORMAL
10:00A 010801
Programming and Read Status mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of
operation. If the panel is in alarm, the alarm condition must be acknowledged before
entering any other 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:
1=READ STATUS
2=PROGRAMMING
3=MANUAL DIAL MODE
Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the
Read Status 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 123 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 the Manual Dial Mode feature which is used when the optional
DACT-UD board is installed. Refer to the DACT-UD manual for a detailed description
of this feature.
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. Note that the
data which is entered during Programming 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.
