  • Page 5: Introduction

    Although programming requires no special software skills, a thorough working knowledge of Fire Alarm Control Panels and devices is assumed. There are two ways to program an MPC-6000/7000/RND-2 fire alarm system control unit from the front panel keypad: 1. Auto Program. Using Auto Program will quickly configure the FACP in a General Alarm configuration.

  • Page 7: The Operator Interface

    The Operator Interface Interface for User and Maintenance Levels The operator interface for configuring and programming the MPC-6000/7000 uses the 4 line by 20 character LCD display, the M1 through M4 buttons on the left and right of the display and sixteen push buttons at the bottom of the interface. User Level and Maintenance Level utilize the LCD display and the four buttons (two on each side of the display) to navigate and alter the basic operation of the panel.
