Alpha Programming If using an alpha keypad in the system, a user friendly English language
description/location of all protection zones, partitions' keypad panics, polling loop
short and RF receiver supervision faults can be programmed into the system.
Each description can be composed of a combination of words (up to a maximum
of 3) that are selected from a vocabulary of 244 words stored in memory, and any
word can have an "s" or " 's " added to it. In addition, up to 20 installer-defined
words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble
occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for the location of that zone will be
displayed at the keypad. An installer's message can also be programmed for each
partition which will be displayed when the system is "Ready" (ex. THE
PETERSON's).
To program alpha descriptors, enter Programming mode, then press #93 to
display "ZONE PROG?". Press 0 (NO) twice to display "ALPHA PROG?". Press 1
to enter ALPHA PROGRAMMING mode. There are 6 sub-menu selections that
will be displayed one at a time. Press 1 to select the mode desired. Press 0 to
display the next mode available. The alpha sub menu selections are:
ZONEÊDESCRIP.?ÊÊ for entering zone descriptors.
DEFAULT Ê SCREEN? for creating custom message; displayed when system
ready.
CUSTOMÊWORD?ÊÊ for creating custom words for use in descriptors.
PARTÊDESCRIP? ÊÊÊ for creating 4-character partition names.
EXITÊEDITÊMODE?Ê Press 1 to exit back to #93 Menu Mode.
Entering Zone Descriptors 1. Select ZONE DESCRIPTOR mode.
The keypad keys perform the following functions:
[3] Scrolls both alphabet and actual words in ascending alphabetical order.
[1] Scrolls both alphabet and actual words in descending alphabetical order.
[2] Adds or removes an "s" or " 's " to a vocabulary word.
[6] Toggles between alphabet and actual word list; used to accept entries.
[8] Saves the zone description in the system's memory.
[#] # plus zone number will display the description for that zone.
2. Key *01 to begin entering the description for zone 1, (key *02 for zone 2,
*03 for zone 3 etc.). The following will be displayed: * ZN 01 A
Note that the first letter of the alphabet appears after the zone number, and
that the zone number is automatically included with the description.
3. One of two methods of entering the words can now be used (assume, for
example that the desired description for zone 1 is BACK DOOR) :
a) Press [#] followed by the 3 digit number of the first word from the fixed
dictionary shown later in this section (e.g., [0][1][3] for BACK). Press [6]
in order to save the word and proceed, or...
b) Select the first letter of the desired description (note that "A" is already
displayed). Use key [3] to advance through the alphabet and key [1] to go
backward. For example, assume the desired description for zone 1 is
BACK DOOR. Press key [3] repeatedly until "B" appears, then press key
[6] to display the first available word beginning with B. Repeatedly press
key [3] to advance through the available words until the word BACK is
displayed. Press key [1] to move backward through the word list.
To add an "s" or " 's ", press the [2] key. The first depression adds an "s",
the second depression adds an " 's ", the third depression displays no
character (to erase the character), the fourth depression adds an "s", etc.
To accept the word, press the [6] key, which toggles back to alphabet list.
4. For selection of the next word (DOOR), repeat step 3, but press key [3] until
the desired first letter of the next word appears (in this example, "D"). Then
press key [6] to display the first available word beginning with "D". Press key
[3] repeatedly until the desired word (DOOR) appears. To accept the word,
press the [6] key, which again toggles back to alphabet list.
