About Programming
You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual
installation. Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s office/home, using an
IBM personal computer, a modem, and Compass downloading software.
The following is a list of the various Programming modes used to program this system:
Programming Mode… Used to …
Data Field Programming Program basic data fields used for setting the various system options.
Most of the data fields in this system have been programmed for specific
default values. However, some fields must be programmed for each particular
installation to establish its specific alarm and reporting features.
∗56 Zone Programming
Assign zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial
numbers for 5800 RF transmitters.
∗57 Function Key Programming
Program each of the four alphabet function keys to perform one of several
system operations.
∗58 Zone Programming
(Expert Mode)
Assign zone attributes similar to ∗56 mode, but provides a faster
programming procedure and is intended for those more experienced in
programming controls of this type.
∗79 Output Device Mapping
Assign device address of the 4204 Relay module and map the specific relays
∗80 Output Definitions
Define up to 12 output definitions which can control the output relays mapped
using *79 Output Device Mapping mode.
∗81 Zone List Programming
Create Zone Lists for relay zones, chime, night-stay, cross zones, and pager
zones.
∗82 Alpha Programming
Create alpha descriptors for easy zone identification.
Scheduling Mode (code + [#] +64) Create schedules to automate various system functions.
Keypads
Keypads are identified by predefined addresses (starting at address 16) as follows:
Address Keypad Program Field
16 keypad 1 • always enabled, all sounds enabled. NOTE: First keypad is address 16.
17 keypad 2 • data field *190
18 keypad 3 • data field *191
19 keypad 4 • data field *192
20 keypad 5 • data field *193
21 keypad 6 • data field *194
22 keypad 7 • data field *195
23 keypad 8 • data field *196
To enable keypads:
1. Set desired address at keypad (refer to keypad’s instructions for setting the address).
2. Use data field program mode to enable keypad addresses and enable sound options in fields *190-
*196 as shown in the table above.
3. Set the following keypad-related data fields as required by the installation:
*21 Quick Arm Enable; *23 Forced Bypass; *84 Auto STAY Arm
