4.2.1 Saving Changes
Changes are saved only when you leave the Installer menu. If you remove all power before leaving
the Installer menu, changes will not be saved. Note that this does not apply if you restore factory
defaults; that change takes place immediately.
4.2.2 Code Lockouts
If you (or any user) enter your code incorrectly, the display shows the time and date again, gives
an error tone and you can try again.
If there are four consecutive incorrect access codes, the system starts a tamper alarm and locks
out all users for 90 seconds. This event is recorded in the log.
Once the lock-out time has expired, you can try again. If the next attempt is also invalid, system
locks for another 90 seconds, but will not start another tamper alarm.
4.2.3 Transferring to another keypad
While in the Installer menu, you can transfer to any other keypad without leaving the Installer
menu. To do this, simply go to any other keypad and enter the Installer access code. The new
keypad will pick up your position in the Installer menu. The keypad you have left will exit the
Installer menu.
4.3 Understanding the User Interface
4.3.1 Selecting Options
The panel displays configuration options in menus. The top-level Installer menu contains options
such as Detectors/Devices:
INSTALLER MENU
Detectors/Devices
You can select a different option by pressing the or key at the keypad until the name of the
option or device you want is displayed. For example, pressing once when Detectors/Devices is
displayed displays Outputs:
INSTALLER MENU
Outputs
Pressing displays the earlier option in the menu. For example, pressing once when Outputs is
displayed displays Detectors/Devices.
Pressing ✓ selects that option, which may display a menu of further options. For example,
selecting Detectors/Devices displays the first option in the Detectors/Devices menu:
DETECTORS/DEVICES
Detectors
You can repeat the process until you have selected the lowest-level setting you want to change.
Pressing at the keypad takes you back one level. For example, pressing when you are in the
Detectors/Devices – Detectors menu takes you back to the Detectors/Devices menu.
Appendix B: Installer Menu Map
shows a menu map, which gives the position of all menus and options in the Installer menu.
4.3.2 Changing a Setting
To change the setting of an option, you normally follow the same procedure as above by pressing
or one or more times to select the required setting and pressing ✓ to make the change.
Some options require you to press ➢ or to change the setting from, for example, Yes to No.
Other options may require you to enter text, as described in the next section.
