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 compatible personal computer, a CIA/CIA-EU modem, and Compass downloading software.
The following is a list of the various Programming modes used to program this system:
Programming Mode...
Data Field Programming
∗56 Zone Programming
∗57 Function Key Programming
∗58 Zone Programming
(Expert Mode)
∗79 Output Device Mapping
∗80 Output Definitions
∗81 Zone List Programming
∗82 Alpha Programming
Scheduling Mode (code + [#] +64)

Programming Overview

Used to ...
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.
Assign zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and
serial numbers for RF transmitters.
Program each of the four function keys to perform one of several
system functions.
Assign zone attributes similar to ∗56 mode, but provides a faster
programming procedure and is intended for those more exper-
ienced in programming controls of this type.
Assign device addresses used by 4229/4204 Relay modules or
6164 keypad and map specific relays and device outputs, and
assign unit codes for Powerline Carrier devices
Define up to 12 output definitions which can control the output
relays mapped using *79 Output Device Mapping mode.
Create Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier zones, chime zones,
night-stay, exit route zones, final exit door zone, and pager
zones.
Create alpha descriptors for easy zone identification.
Create schedules to automate various system functions or
determine user access.
