Navigating Menu And Programming Screens; Basic Procedure - Honeywell NOTIFIER NFS2-3030 Programming Manual

General Information
• Local programming - program directly from the control panel keypad to reduce installation
time.
• PC programming - input long data entry programming information on a PC; transfer
programming data between a PC and the control panel.
• Autoprogram option - automatically detect newly installed, addressable devices, allowing
quicker installation.
• Security - use passwords to control access to the control panel and protect programming.
• Large display option - 640 character screen, 16 lines x 40 characters

1.5 Navigating Menu and Programming Screens

The Main Menu (refer to Figure 2.1) leads to screens with various menu and programming options.
Choices may be made from the menu screens by pressing the soft key closest to the menu option.
Appendix A, "Menu Hierarchy" gives the programming menu hierarchy; refer to this appendix for
an overall view of the layout of the screens.
Field information may be added/modified using the keyboard and special function keys.
Arrow keys on the keyboard can be used to navigate between fields on a screen if there are no soft
keys to select the fields.
Scrolling through a list of selections in a screen field can be performed either by repeatedly
pressing the associated soft key, or by pressing the Next Selection/Previous Selection special
function keys on the Display/Keypad.
Pressing a BACK soft key on a screen returns the programmer to the previous screen without saving
the information entered.
Pressing an ACCEPT soft key will save the information entered on the screen. It may also return to
the previous screen and/or perform other functions as described in the soft key section for each
screen.
When the FACP can not read an address (that is, if the point entered on the screen for processing
does not exist) it will display an error screen for several seconds, then return to the screen where the
address was entered. The user must check his input and investigate the state of the point.

1.6 Basic Procedure

For initial programming of the panel, or for major changes and additions, the following basic
procedure is recommended to prevent errors resulting in reprogramming and wasted time.
• Use work sheets to record the exact information for every detector, module, annunciator point
and software zone in the system. Pay close attention to the Software Type IDs. For voice
systems, pay close attention to AMG annunciator point commands. The panel program may
also be created using VeriFire™ Tools and downloaded to the panel after assembly and power-
up.
• Assemble and apply power to the control panel as described in this panel's installation manual.
All system boards must be physically installed.
• Read this manual before programming.
• Enter/change master and user passwords.
• Enter panel and network parameters.
• Program all devices and thoroughly test the entire system. The Walk Test feature can be used to
test devices and their programming.
• Make a hard-copy record of the program on the printer.
• Save the program by uploading it using VeriFire™ Tools.
