GENERAL PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Review the global and
specific partitioning features
listed in the GENERAL
INFORMATION section of
the Installation Instructions
before programming the
system.
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, by using a 6139 (AV) alpha keypad*. In
addition, four sets of pre-programmed communication default values can also be
loaded by the installer, each set designed for a specific communication format.
These too can be changed to suit the needs of a particular installation.
Changes to these pre-programmed values can be programmed directly from the
alpha keypad or from an IBM compatible computer either remotely (using an
approved modem) or at the job site (direct wire downloading using the 4100SM
Serial Module). Both methods use the AdemcoÕs V-Link¨ downloading software
(Rev. 4 or higher) or AdemcoÕs
Compass Windows downloading software (be
sure that the software version used includes a VISTA-40 selection).
For alpha keypads, English Language descriptions of the zones and a custom
installer message (which appears when the system is ready to arm) can be
programmed using the built-in vocabulary of words (see #93 MENU MODE,
ALPHA PROGRAMMING section).
* NOTE: The factory loaded defaults (*97) enable keypad addresses 00-03 only.
ÊA keypad with one of these addresses must be used to program the system. If
Ênecessary refer to ÒSetting the Keypad AddressÓ in Section 4.
User-Friendly Zone, Device
& Alpha
Programming
(#93 Menu Mode)
To help set up a partitioned environment quickly and accurately, a user friendly
menu mode has been added. Instead of the traditional method of programming all
the fields associated with zones and the partitions they are associated with, you
may now logically program a zone for all its characteristics as prompted by the
keypad (refer to the #93 MENU MODE section for details). This ensures that you
assign each zone to a partition and that a zone response type has been
assigned.
This User Friendly Menu Mode steps you through the programming options by
prompting you to answer simple yes/no questions. In addition to zone
programming, this mode is also used for programming remote keypad
characteristics, for entering alpha descriptors for wireless & polling loop module
serial number "enrolling" and for relay programming.
Communication Default
Programming
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 report
codes that will suit most of your needs. These codes can also be changed as
required. Refer to the COMMUNICATION PROGRAMMING section for
instructions.
Entering The Various
Program Modes
Data Field Programming mode can be entered in one of two ways.
A) By depressing the [ * ] and [#] keys at the same time within 30 seconds after
power is applied to the Control. This method can be suppressed in program
field 1
* 65.
B) By keying the installer code, followed by depression of [8]+ [0]+ [0] keys.
The factory installer code can be changed once in the program mode. This
method can be suppressed by exiting program mode via
* 98.
After entry into the program mode, the following will be displayed on an alpha
keypad:
Program Mode
* Fill # View - 00
Following this display, the system is ready to be programmed.
#93 Menu Mode is entered by pressing #93 while in data field programming
mode.
