SKE-SeriesVoice Evacuation System Installation/Operation Manual
4.2.2.2 Using 7780 Software
The 7780 software is a software support utility that is used to download recorded messages (in
.ske format stored on your PC hard drive) to the various message locations of the SKE-450.
Messages can be uploaded from the SKE-450, stored, and used again in similar installations.
The 7780 software can also be used to move messages to different message locations. For
example, move message 1 to message 3 memory location.
To read/write .SKE formatted messages to and from the SKE-450 main panel, follow these
steps:
1. Make sure that panel is in Normal mode. This is accomplished by setting DIP switch num-
ber 8 on SW 2 to the "Off" position, and recycling power.

3. Run the 7780 software.
4. Select the appropriate COM port that you are using.
5. Press the "Capture Panel" button. (A capture dialog will appear on the screen.)
6. Set DIP switch number 8 on SW2 to the "ON" position.
7. The "Capture" dialog should disappear after the PC-panel connection is established.
8. Select "Read from Panel" to read a message and store onto your hard drive, or "Write to
Panel" to transfer a .SKE formatted message to the panel.
9. Select the appropriate message location you wish to read/write.
10. Enter the file name you wish to transfer (Press "Browse" to display a list of files.)
11. Press "Start" to start the transfer.
12. When transfer is completed, press "Release Panel".
