3.2.1 Downloading Program: General
Any time that the control panel is downloaded, whether initiated at the jobsite or
remotely, a secret code (Factory Default 0000) is verified between the control panel and
the Service Terminal. Changing the Secret Code may only be accomplished at the
Service Terminal and subsequently loaded into the control panel. Future upload or
download requests cause verification of the secret code by the control panel before
processing of data is allowed. If the secret code is not verified, the control panel will
terminate the request immediately.
While the control panel is communicating with the Service Terminal, the DACT-UD's
green Modem LED and one of the red Line Seize LEDs will remain on steady. At the
conclusion of a successful download transaction, the green Kissoff LED will come on
steady for one second. Upon termination of communication, the green Modem LED
will turn off and the red Line Seize LED will turn off.
In order to download the panel (whether initiated at the jobsite or remotely) the
following must be true:
The control panel may be in any mode of operation, including Disable, Enable
and Drill. Downloading is not possible if the communicator is active during
Central Station communications or while testing the phone lines while in
Troubleshoot mode
There cannot be any active communications ongoing with a Central Station
receiver
All active events must be successfully 'Kissed-off' by the Central Station(s)
The communicator must be in a standby state with no new information waiting
to be transmitted to a Central Station
