CHAPTER 3: QUICK START GUIDE
This section presents a brief guide and some helpful hints for first-
time users of the 1800. Follow the instructions for installation
before attempting to program the unit.
HOW THE KEYPAD COMMANDS WORK
The 1800 uses simple keypad commands to program and listen to
all pertinent parameters. All of the keypad commands begin with
either the SET, WHAT IS, or SENSOR ON/OFF keys. The SET key
is used to program parameters. When performing a programming
sequence, the command will typically require the SET key followed
by the parameter to be programmed, followed by a value, and then
the ENTER key at the end. For example, to program the Call Delay
you would press [SET] + [CALL DELAY] + [value] + [ENTER].
To check your programming , you would press the WHAT IS key
followed by the parameter (in this case, [WHAT IS] + [CALL
DELAY].
The SENSOR ON/OFF key is generally used to enable and disable
functions or to toggle a function on and off. For example, to disable
a Zone you would press [SENSOR ON/OFF] + [Zone #] or to
turn the speaker Mute on you would press [SENSOR ON/OFF] +
[MESSAGE/MUTE].
ABORTING A COMMAND
If you are in the middle of a command and you make a mistake, you
can abort the command by either pressing the ALARM CANCEL
key or by simply waiting for the command to time out (typically 30
seconds). When you abort a command, the unit will say “Error 1” to
indicate that the command has not been executed successfully.
ERROR MESSAGES
When programming parameters in the 1800 you may get an error
message if you inadvertently enter an incorrect value. If the unit
says “Error 1,” it means that you entered a value that is out of range
