• #93 Menu Mode Programming
Data Field programme mode is the programme mode through which many
system options are programmed. The field numbers on the programme form
show the number of entries required for each field. When an entry is completed,
the keypad "beeps" three times and advances to the next field. At this point, you
can either make the required entry in the new field, or press [*] + the next field
number you want to programme.
There are several "question and answer" modes, which we call "Menu" modes
that can be accessed once Data Field programme mode has been entered. These
modes prompt the user for information.
• The system is shipped with a set of pre-programmed default values that are
designed to meet the needs of many installations. These can be changed by the
installer to suit specific needs if desired.
• There are four sets of pre-programmed communication defaults available,
including Low Speed, 4+2 Express, Ademco High Speed, and Ademco Contact
ID. Loading one of these defaults automatically programs industry standard
codes that will suit most of your needs.
• These defaults can be changed directly from the keypad, or they can be
changed by using V-LINK downloading software (be sure that the software
version used includes a VISTA 120 with scheduling menu selection).
Downloading can be performed either remotely from an IBM compatible
computer (using an approved modem) or at the job site (direct-wire download
using the 4100SM Serial Module)
The factory loaded defaults (*97) enable keypad addresses 00-03 only. A keypad set
to one of these addresses must be used to programme the system.
1. Enter programme mode using either method A or B:
A) Press both the [*] and [#] keys at the same time within 30 seconds after
power is applied to the Control.
B) Enter the [Installer Code] + [8] + [0] + [0] + [0] keys.
installer code can be changed once in the programme mode (field *00).
Local keypad programming can be disabled through V-Link downloading software. If
this is done, programming can only be accomplished via the downloading software.
2. After entry into the programme mode, the following will be displayed:
3. Following this display, enter
