4.1 Installer Programming
The following section of the manual describes the Installer Programming functions and how to program the various sections.
Read the following section of the manual very carefully before you begin programming. We also recommend filling out the Program-
ming Worksheets section before you program the panel.
Installer Programming is used to program all communicator and panel options. The Installer Code is [5555] by default (555555 if 6
digit codes are used) but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to programming.
From an LED or fixed message LCD keypad:
1. Enter [ ][8][Installer Code].
,
The Program light (or System light on the PC1555RKZ) will flash to indicate that you are in programming mode.
The Armed light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the three-digit programming section number.
2. Enter the three-digit section number corresponding to the section you wish to program.
The Armed light will turn off.
The Ready light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the information required to complete programming the
selected section.
3. Enter the information required to complete section programming (i.e., numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
Note: If the three-digit section number entered is invalid, or if the module which pertains to the section is not present, the keypad will
sound a two second error tone.
From an LCD keypad:
1. From any keypad, enter [
2. Enter the three-digit number corresponding to the programming section number you wish to program. The keypad will now dis-
play the information required to complete programming the selected section.
3. Enter the information required to complete section programming (i.e., numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re-enter the
information correctly.
Note: There must be one digit in each box in the programming section in order for the change to be valid.

4.2 Programming Decimal Data

A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each section requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes, telephone numbers). If a digit is
entered for each program box, the panel will automatically exit from the selected programming section. The Ready light will turn OFF
and the Armed light will turn ON.
On the PC1555RKZ and PK5508 keypads, you can also press the [#] key to exit a programming section without entering data for every
box. This is handy if you only need to change digits in the first few programming boxes. All other digits in the programming section
will remain unchanged.

4.3 Programming HEX Data

On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To program a HEX digit, press the [
gramming and the Ready light will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers that should be pressed to enter the appropriate HEX digit:
1 = A 2 = B
Once the correct HEX digit has been entered, the Ready light will continue to flash. If another HEX digit is required, press the corre-
sponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the [
decimal programming.
Example:
To enter 'C1' for a closing by user 1, you would enter:
[ ][3][ ], [1]:
, ,
[ ] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
,
[3] to enter C
[ ] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
,
[1] to enter digit 1
Note: If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.

DLS Programming can be set up from Installer
Programming (see [401] Downloading Option Codes).
