Incremental programming is typically used to add or remove an additional loop of
devices or a large number of devices to the system. See “Performing incremental
programming” on page 69.
The Unconfigured Alarm command is used to add an additional device or several
devices to a system without using the Incremental Program command. When a
new device is added or a device is removed, the panel signals a “trouble active”
event and indicates on the LCD that there is an unconfigured device. The device
can then be programmed and added to the database. This method is typically
used to add just a few devices. See “Adding and removing devices from
programmed systems” on page 73.
Advanced programming
Advanced programming is used to apply custom programming to a new or
previously programmed fire alarm system. Advanced programming lets you
configure each option individually. See “Advanced programming” on page 84.
