Getting started
You should complete the programming templates found in 
Appendix B before you program the panel. NFPA 72 requires 
that you keep a copy of these sheets on file. 
The following table and procedures prepare the panel for 
custom programming. 
1. Program load defaults
In this topic, you do not need to load the defaults. To load the 
default settings, see the topic “Reloading the factory default 
settings,” above.

settings 
Yes
Loads the default settings
Key: = OFF, = ON
To get started:
1. Install program jumper PRG.
The top rows of LEDs flash and the panel enters a trouble 
state. The trouble buzzer sounds. 
2. Press Remote Disconnect to advance to the first
programming option (Load Defaults).
The LEDs stop flashing, the Disable LED (binary value 1) 
lights, and “Load Defaults” is displayed on the FSDACT 
LCD display (if installed). The trouble buzzer turns off; 
however, the panel is still in a trouble state. 
The Signal Silenced LED is on, showing that setting No is 
selected. 
3. You can press Reset to step through the settings available
for this option (No or Yes). Notice how the Signal 
Silenced and Walk Test LEDs switch to indicate the 
different options. 
You are now ready to program your panel.
Notes
•
You can exit program mode at any time by removing the 
program jumper. All saved program selections remain 
intact. When the jumper is removed, the panel resets. 
•
If no buttons are pressed for 90 seconds, the system 
returns to the initial program start state with the top row 
of LEDs flashing and the buzzer sounding. 
To program the panel
If no programming is required for a particular option, it can be 
skipped. You can use Remote Disconnect to advance to the 
next option or Walk Test to return to the previous option. To 
save your changes, you must press Panel Silence before 
advancing to the next option. 
2. Program find annunciators
Description: Verifies and logs each remote annunciator 
(FSRSI, FSRZI-A, and FSRRM) connected to your system. 
Notes
•
This process may take up to 40 seconds. During this time 
do not remove the program jumper. If the program 
jumper is removed, you must power down and power up 
the panel to get back into the programming mode. 
•
The Find Annunciators program option must be 
performed if you are using remote annunciators (FSRSI, 
FSRZI-A, or FSRRM) or if you add or remove a remote 
annunciator from your system.

Find devices
Logs all devices 
connected to the panel. 
To find remote annunciators:
1. Press Remote Disconnect to select the program option.
If an FSDACT is installed, the lower line of the LCD 
displays “xx now on bus” where xx is the number of 
devices (between 0 and 12). 
2. Press Reset to select Find devices.
3. Press Panel Silence to begin finding devices.
The bottom row of LEDs flashes and the second line of 
the LCD displays “Finding devices” while the panel 
searches for all remote annunciators. 
When the search is complete, the bottom row of LEDs 
shows (in binary) the number of devices found. The 
second line of the LCD displays “was xx now yy.” The 
number of devices found (now) should equal the number 
of devices installed. If not, there is a wiring or device 
problem. 
4. To end programming now, remove the program jumper.
Otherwise, continue with “Program auto signal silence 
timer,” below. 
3. Program auto signal silence timer
Description: A timer that, when programmed, automatically 
silences the NAC circuits 20 minutes after the last alarm event.
