PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
4.0 PROGRAMMING
Programming is the principle means for the user to configure with a computer based system. The PET-820's operation
enables the user to tell the system what to do and how to do it. This programming dose not require special tools and can be
done either by telephone or by the optional keypad/display panel.
4.1 PROGRAMMING COMMAND FORMAT
All programming commands have 3 parts. The first part, COMMAND CODE, defines the function that is to be modified.
The second part, USER DATA, is the new information that replaces the previous information in that program command code
memory location. The third part, "#", identifies the end of a command string. The "#" works in the same manner as the
ENTER key on a computer keyboard. To only read back data you simply enter the command code without data and "#".
SYNTAX: [Command Code] [User Data] #
WHERE: # = Enter, end of data string
[ ] = Prompts user for missing parameters or data
<>
= Optional parameters or data
When entering data and a mistake is noted prior to finishing the command, the "*" can be used to Clear the command and
start over again. The "*" key can also be used to stop speech.
4.2 PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION CODE
Before entering the program authorization code, the front panel switch for programming must be in the "ON" position or the
PET-820 will not accept any programming commands. This switch allows the user a level of security where changes to the
operating characteristics may completely disabled. Once programming has been completed and no other changes are desired,
this switch should be returned to the off position. The Program Authorization Code consists of the command code digit 61,
followed by the authorization data [987654] and "#". Entering the program authorization code places the PET-820 into the
user programming mode. Before you can enter the program authorization code you must first enter the password. The
default program authorization code is [987654] and can be changed. Once this code is changed the default code will no
longer work. In order to execute the program authorization code you must have the password activated and the unit in the
disarm mode.
SYNTAX: 61 [authorization data] #
EXAMPLE: 61 987654 # = Enables the PET-820 for programming
DEFAULT: 61987654
4.3 VALID DATA
When you are programming data with values 000 through 255, you must include leading zeros with their values. You must
also use leading zeros for 2 digit values.
EXAMPLE: To program 1 into a 3 digit value, you must enter 001 or to program 10, you must enter 010.
