Before you begin
Programming methods
There are two ways you can program the control panel. You can use the control
panel’s keypad (also called front panel programming). You can also use a
computer and the Fire Systems Configuration Utility (FSCU).
To program the control panel using the FSCU, you must install an F-DACT(F) in
the control panel. Configure the F-DACT(F) for dialer or modem operation.
Front panel programming does not require that you have an F-DACT(F) installed.
Entering and exiting local program mode
The panel must be in local program mode before you can change any of the
panel’s current settings.
To enter local program mode:
1. Install the jumper on J3 (PRG).
The panel status LEDs start flashing to indicate local program mode is
activated.
2. If passcode protection is enabled, enter the passcode.
To exit local program mode:
1. Remove the jumper from J3 (PRG).
The panel automatically resets after the jumper on J3 is removed.
Programming mode times out about 90 seconds after the last programming
button is pressed. The panel status LEDs start flashing to indicate that the panel
has timed out.
Pressing the Signal Silence & Drill button returns you to local programming mode
at the point you left. If passcode protection is enabled, you must enter the correct
passcode to continue.
Selecting panel options
Use the Signal Silence & Drill button and the Remote Disconnect button to select
panel options. Pressing Signal Silence & Drill selects the next option. Pressing
Remote Disconnect selects the previous option.
