FSDACT programming
Programming the FSDACT sets up the dialer for
communication with the central monitoring station. It also sets
a number of other options such as date, time, phone numbers,
etc. Many of the options have default settings, which are
detailed below. These settings can be changed if desired.
Programming buttons
The panel buttons function in the following way when in
FSDACT programming mode.

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.
Follow the steps below to prepare the panel for FSDACT
programming. If you are already in programming mode, skip
the first three steps and start at number four below.
To get started:
1. Install program jumper PRG.
Panel common 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 1) lights,
and Load Defaults is displayed on the LCD. The trouble
buzzer turns off; however, the panel is still in a trouble
state.
3. Do not load defaults. Press Walk Test until “DACT
Programming” is displayed.
4. Press Reset until Yes is selected.
5. Press Panel Silence to begin FSDACT programming.
The panel automatically switches to FSDACT
programming mode and “DACT Programming” is
displayed on the LCD.
6. Enter your password. Refer to “Programming the
FSDACT” below.
Note: You can exit from programming mode at any time by
removing the program jumper. All saved program selections
will remain intact.
