 Some programming menus need certain values to be entered, while others are
used to select YES/NO. Programming lines containing YES/NO options often also
allow the 0-key to be pressed. Use this key to skip a number of options. The
display will indicate if the 0-key can be used on the second line.
 Programming menus like ‘Poll RAS’, ‘Poll DGP’ or ‘Entry time’ show the status of
the current values. To update the values, press [MENU*].
Where programming of an option does not follow this procedure, the (additional) keys
available are described in the How to program section of the option.
1. ZONE DATABASE
In this programming section all parameters are programmed regarding the zones. Each
zone is a physical input on the control panel, a DGP or a plug-in expander.
1.1. Zone number
Select the appropriate zone number to program. Every zone has a number between 1
and 256, depending on the location in the system.
 A list of zone numbers can be found with the control panel’s installation guide.
1.1.1. Zone name
Once the correct zone number is selected, the zone needs to be given a name. The
name identifies the zone to the end-user in case an alarm has occurred or on arming the
zone is still activated. Without a proper name, the end-user would not be able to check for
any problems that might arise in a particular zone.
A zone name can consist of 4 words from the library (called text words), each separated
by a 3 digit number between 1 and 255 (called a text variable). If a number is not
necessary, program the number as 0. This way the number will not be used and the text
words are combined using a space. Text variables can only be used in combination with
a text word. The complete name can have a maximum length of 36 characters.
Zone names are taken from the library. The library contains a maximum of 900 words.
Each word is identified as a number. This number has to be entered on programming the
zone name (See Table8 7: Word library on page 90). If a word does not exist, it can be
added in the programmable library, using menu 10. Program text (see page 89). The
programmable library can contain 100 words that have to be programmed before they
can be used.
