Creating Partition
Descriptors
1. Select "Part DESCRIPT." mode. The system will ask for the partition number
desired. Enter the number as a single key.
2. Follow the same procedure as for CUSTOM WORDS, except that partition
descriptors are limited to four (4) characters (ex. WHSE for warehouse).
Creating A Custom
Message Display (Installer's
Message)
Normally, when the system is in the disarmed state, the following display is
present on the Keypad.
**** DISARMED ****
READY TO ARM
Part or all of the above message can be modified to create a custom installer
message for each partition. For example, **** DISARMED **** on the first line or
READY TO ARM on the second line could be replaced by the installation
company name or phone number for service. Note that there are only 16
character spaces on each of the two lines. To create a custom display message,
proceed as follows:
1. Select DEFAULT SCREEN mode. The keypad will ask for the partition
number for this message. Enter the partition number. Press [*] to accept
entry.
The following will appear:
**** DISARMED ****
READY TO ARM
A cursor will be present at the extreme left of the first line (over the first "star").
The [6] key is used to move the cursor to the right and the [4] key to move the
cursor to the left. Key [7] may be used to insert spaces or erase existing
characters.
2. For example, to replace the READY TO ARM words with the message:
SERVICE:424-0177, proceed as follows:
Press the [6] key to move the cursor to the right, and continue until the cursor
is positioned over the first location on the second line.
Press the [3] key to advance through the alphabet to the first desired
character (in this case, "S"). Use the [1] key to go backward, when necessary.
When the desired character is reached, press [6]. The cursor will then move
to the next position, ready for entry of the next character (in this example,
"E"). When the cursor reaches a position over an existing character, pressing
the [3] or [1] key will advance or back up from that character in the alphabet.
Proceed in this manner until all characters in the message have been
entered.
3. To store this new display message in memory, press the [8] key.
4. The system will ask for a new partition number. Enter 00 to quit or 1Ð2 for a
new partition number.
