Programming Hard-Wired Zones

Check-Out Procedure For Hard-Wired Zones

Each zone must be programmed into the system using the *56 Zone
Programming mode, which assigns characteristics that define the way the
system responds to faults on that zone. Refer to the Zone Response Type
section and the Zone Programming section for specific instructions on
programming hard-wired zones.
After installation and programming of all hard-wired devices is completed,
each partition of the security system should be checked, as follows.
1. Make certain that all devices and sensors connected to the hard-wired
zones are not in a faulted state. Doors and windows with contacts should
be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily if
necessary).
2. Plug in the AC Transformer if you have not already done so.
3. With all hard-wired zones intact, the Alpha keypad connected to the
system should display:
If the following is displayed,
DIS A RM E D P re ss
to s h ow f au l ts
press the [ ] key to display the faulted zone(s). Restore any faulted
zone(s) as necessary (also make sure that you have connected a 2000 ohm
EOL resistor across the terminals of unused zones).
When the DISARMED...READY TO ARM message is displayed, you can
proceed to the next step.
4. Fault and then restore every contact or sensor on each zone individually to
ensure that it is being monitored by the system. Each time a zone is
faulted, the keypad should display the number of the faulted zone. When
each zone is restored, the READY TO ARM message should appear again.
If some hard-wired zones have been assigned to partition 1 and others to
partition 2, you will need to observe the keypad in the appropriate
partition as each zone in that partition is faulted and restored.
5. When you get the proper displays on the keypad(s), the hard-wired zones
in the system are functioning properly.
6. Unplug the AC transformer.
