When the configuration software is opened for the first time, the screen above will be displayed. The right side of the screen
shows the portion of the programming that is particular for the portion selected on the left. The column on the left side are groups
that contain the programming for the rest of the panel. The Base Panel is the entire panel and all of the other operations fall
under the base. Loop 0 is the hardwired devices that are connected to the panel. These include the annunciators, conventional
zone adder card, notification adder card and relay adder card. Loop 1 is the base SLC loop in the panel. This loop is the base
127 points that are hardwired in the main terminal strip. Loop 2 and Loop 3 are the single and dual loop adders respectively. The
Control/Annunciation allows the user to configure programmable buttons for the walk test, buzzer silence, etc. The Status Corrs is
correlations that are programmed when ordinary features are activated. The user can configure outputs to provide constant power
when the AC is on as an example.
This manual will go through each menu choice item by item to describe the programming. The software, as mentioned earlier,
is a database format. Therefore, the data storage and mapping of inputs to outputs behave similar to common database formats.
The first menu is the file menu and this menu contains controls that affect the overall database structure. In addition, the file menu
contains the area to print reports, change user preferences and exiting.
