3.3 Programming the Control/Communicator
The Command Center, User Interface, Command Menu (for D7212B, D9112B) or Function List (D7212,
D7412, D9112, D9412), and Passcode Worksheet sections of the control/communicator program determine
the annunciator displays and functions available from the D1256. Key points to consider are described below.
3.3.1 Command Center Assignments
1.
Command Center Text. The D1256 can be used on any one of the eight (8) addresses in the control
panel. The following sections (3.3.2 to 3.3.4) describes programming for one D1256 assigned to Command
Center #1.
2.
Supervised. Certain local jurisdictions may require that fire system annunciators be supervised. If this is a
requirement in your area, set supervision to YES for the addresses that use fire alarm annunciators.
3.
Scope. The D1256 is designed to acknowledge fire alarms and troubles, not burglar alarms and troubles.
Set the scope to include fire areas only.
4.
Area. Program the area number of the fire area(s) as normal.

Figure 2: Example 1 – Area Text
1.
Area # is On – PRESS ALARM SIL. Fire area should remain in the OFF state at all times. If the
authority level is not programmed correctly, the fire alarm area will become armed and the PRESS ALARM
SIL display will show on the fire alarm annunciator. Pressing the ALARM SILENCE key will both silence any
alarm(s) and disarm the area. This will cause the fire alarm annunciator to again display the normal
* FIRE
SYSTEM * display.
2.
Area # Not Ready – CHECK FIRE SYS. Most fire alarm areas will consist of all 24-hour points and
therefore the
Area # Not Ready display will not be used. If a controlled point type is used for some type
of fire supervision device, and the device becomes off-normal, the
CHECK FIRE SYS message will appear
on the fire command center.
3.
Area # is Off - * FIRE SYSTEM *. This is the normal idle text for the fire alarm annunciator.
4.
Area # Acct is On - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. The Area # Acct is On text is not used in the system.

Figure 3: Example 2 – Custom Function
These items must be programmed as indicated in the Custom Functions section of Command Center to make
the D1256 function keys operational. The passcode 125600 has been chosen for the following examples,
although any passcode my be used.
CF 128 – ALARM SILENCE ?
Key Stroke: 125600E. This custom function will be programmed as the first Menu item. It will be executed when
the ALARM SILENCE key is pressed on the D1256. The key stroke entry of 125600E will be seen by the control
panel as a valid passcode entry in the area having the authority level to silence a ringing fire bell in the area.
The "E" at the end of the string represents the ENTER key on the command center
