Programming
Recording Custom Messages
1. Connect the PC to the panel using a standard Male A to Male B USB cable.
2. Run the APU software.
3. Assure that the USB icon in the APU application window is green. If the icon is black then the
APU software has not established communication with the panel. Recheck the USB cable
connection. If the USB icon turns red while using the APU, then the APU has determined that
the USB connection has become “disconnected”.
Writing a Message to the Panel
1. From the “Source/Destination Message” drop-down box select any one of the message slot
locations “Message 01" through “Message 14".
2. From the “File Select” browse button search for and select the desired message (in .ske format)
stored on the PC to be written to the panel.
3. Select “Write File To Panel” in the application window.
4. Answer “Yes” in the “Confirm Write” box that appears.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for any addition messages to be written, or close APU software if
finished.
Reading a Message from the Panel
1. From the “Source/Destination Message” drop-down box select any one of the message slot
locations “Message 01" through “Message 14".
2. In the “File Select” box specify the directory and filename (type in or use browse button) in
which to store the desired message from the panel to the PC. Filenames should have a .ske
extension. Provide a unique filename as needed to avoid overwriting existing message files.
3. Select “Read File From Panel” in the application window. The APU will alert the user if there
is no message stored (blank) in the selected message slot location
.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for any addition messages to be read, or close APU software if
finished.
Moving a Message to a Different Slot
To move a message from one message slot location to another - first read the desired message from
its current message location into the PC, and then write this message file from the PC to the new
message slot location. Follow steps 1 through 3 in "Reading a Message from the Panel" above to
read the message and steps 1 through 4 in "Writing a Message to the Panel" to write the message.
