Section 8
Programming Overview
This section of the manual is intended to give you an overview of the programming process.
Please read this section of the manual carefully, especially if you are programming the control
panel for the first time.
The JumpStart feature automates many programming tasks and selects default options for the
system. You will run JumpStart at least once when you are installing the system. See 8.1 for
details. After you run JumpStart, you may need to do some additional programming
depending on your installation. Section 8 of this manual covers manual programmable options
in detail.
Programming the panel can be thought of as a three part process. You must program:
•
System options. These are options that affect general operation of the panel (see Section
9.6 for details).
•
Options for input points and zones. These are primarily options that control detection
behavior of devices (see Section 9.5 for details).
•
Options for output points and groups. This includes selecting characteristics for output
groups and mapping output circuits to output groups (see Section 9.5 for details).

JumpStart AutoProgramming
The JumpStart AutoProgramming feature allows for faster system setup. When you run
JumpStart AutoProgramming the panel searches for expanders and SLC devices not currently
in the system. The new devices are added in their default configuration. At the end of the
JumpStart AutoProgramming you can choose to not accept the new devices and go back to the
configuration you had before doing the JumpStart AutoProgramming. This saves the installer
from having to program options for each device. Depending on the application, the installer
may need to make some changes after JumpStart AutoProgramming completes.
See Section 8.1.3 for complete details about running JumpStart AutoProgramming.
8.1.1
Input Points
The first JumpStart AutoProgramming on the panel in default configuration will determine the
number and type of input points (detectors or contact monitor modules) on each SLC loop.
JumpStart AutoProgramming assigns the correct detector type (heat, ionization or
photoelectric), so the installer does not need to edit device type for detectors. Any contact
monitor modules on the system will be assigned type "Manual Pull." The installer will need to
manually change the switch type if manual pull is not correct.
The first JumpStart AutoProgramming creates one zone (Zone 1) and assigns all input points
