4 Programming the unit
The FIRElink-400 programmer means that programming and configuration of the unit can be performed
without opening the detector case.
To enter programming mode, press any of the program menu keys , ,or .
4.1 Engineering Access Code
The Engineering Access code is required to allow the detector parameters to be programmed. The
access code is only valid whilst the user is in programming mode. It will need to be entered again if
programming mode is exited, if the detector is powered down or if
<RESET> is pressed.
To enter programming mode, press a menu key , ,or . The unit responds by displaying the prompt
Access code:0000 asking for the engineering access code. The factory default access code is
0102. To enter the default access code, follow the sequence shown:
NOTE: Pressing or has no effect until is pressed to place the cursor under the first digit.
This correctly sets the access code. If an incorrect access code is entered or <RESET> is pressed, the
display will show Bad access code . Pressing a menu key will prompt the user again for the correct
access code.
All of the programmable functions work in a similar manner. The keys move the cursor position
through the user-settable digits and the
keys step through the available values for the currently
selected digit (for example 1 - 99, Yes / No etc). Pressing enters the displayed figure.
NOTE: That it is not possible to save an illegal value, for example for the Fire 1 level the maximum valid
input is 10 and it would be possible to enter 99, but the programmer will display Bad value to
inform you that the entry is invalid and prompt for the value to be re-entered. All programmable
parameters have the valid input values range in brackets below the parameter legend on the
display.
Having edited the value as required, press to select the amended setting. Pressing when the
cursor is on the right most digit has the same effect. If no programming activity is detected for 5 minutes,
the detector will display the legend
Access timeout and exit the programming mode.
4.2 Main Menu
When the correct access code is entered, the display will show the main menu. The current selection is
always shown with an arrow (
) after it. Press or to activate the selection.
