Programming SECURITY Transmitters Using Factory Defaults
In most cases, Security transmitters should be programmed without changing the factory default settings (like Normally Open
contacts). An exception to the rule might be the programming of universal (door/window) transmitters. To see if factory default
settings for these devices match the application requirements, refer to Table 2.
To program a Security transmitter without changing its factory default settings do the following:
1.
Plug the free end of the programming cable into the programming header on one of the Security transmitters. (Refer to the
transmitter’s user manual to access its programming header.)
2.
Follow the "Adding RF Points" instructions in the D2000 Series Keypad Diagnostics manual to program an identification
code (ID) into the transmitter while leaving the transmitter’s factory default options unchanged. Stop when the keypad
display shows the following:
(where nn is the transmitter point number to be programmed)
3.
Note that the SECURITY LED is flashing to show that a Security device is about to be programmed.
4.
Decide if the supervision window (or supervision interval) for the transmitter should be extended from the setting chosen
when programming the control panel (either 4 or 12 hours). The options are to extend to 96 hours or to “infinite” hours.
(Extending to infinite hours simply means that the receiver is programmed not to ever look for check-ins from that trans-
mitter.) Extended time options might be useful when supervising pendant transmitters that are out of the Expander’s
receiving range for days or weeks at a time.
To extend the supervision window to 96 hours, press the EXT’D SPVN WINDOW pushbutton one time. The SELECTED
LED above this pushbutton should begin to flash at the same rapid rate as the SECURITY LED. To extend the supervision
window to infinite hours, press the EXT’D SPVN WINDOW pushbutton one more time. The SELECTED LED above this
pushbutton should continue to flash, but at a much slower rate than the SECURITY LED.
5.
Continue to follow the Keypad Diagnostics manual’s instructions except that instead of pressing the transmitter’s tamper
switch, press the transmitter’s reset pushbutton switch to activate the programming. (Be sure the programming cable i
still connected.) Note that the SECURITY LED (and possibly the SELECTED LED above the EXT’D SPVN WINDOW
pushbutton) changes from flashing to always-on or “solid”. (See Fig ure5.) This shows that the programming was com-
pleted.
If the LEDs do not change to solid, the transmitter may not be compatible with this type of programming. The transmitter
version must be 1.80 or higher. (See label on box or label on transmitter printed circuit board.) If the transmitter version
is lower than 1.80, the transmitter is compatible in every other way except that it must be programmed using Custom
Options.
6.
Remove the programming cable from the transmitter and put the transmitter’s cover back on.
7.
Follow the above procedure to program all other Security transmitters that can use factory default programming.
