POWERING UP THE PANEL
INITIAL ACTIVATION OF THE PANEL
The control panel as received from the factory has been given a COLD START and all settings
will be at their default value. The next time that power is applied to the panel, it will execute a
WARM START (see page 36). On powering up, you will be concerned with entering the
customer's name and address and initializing the LEM LINE. Once powering up is finished, you
will be ready to program the panel.
When power is first applied to the control panel, the display will show the following: RAM
PROTECTED!. Next, the display will show the operating system version number and date:
A4OS07 26OCT94; followed by the copyright message: (C) EUROPLEX 1985-94 and
finally the application program version and date: A100 8A250U 29MAY00. This last message
will be displayed for about three seconds during which time an option to COLD START the
panel will be available.
COLD START WITH ZAP
It may sometimes be necessary to clear the panel's RAM memory in the field. For example, if the
panel has been removed from a previous location and is to be installed in a new location or if
severe transients (lightning, etc.) have caused corruption of the memory, it will be necessary to
start anew. A COLD START will clear the whole of the memory, destroying all existing log,
zone, and user files.
To select a COLD START, press the FULL ARM key within the three seconds allowed above.
(If the FULL ARM key is not pressed within these three seconds, the panel will execute a
WARM START, see page 36. To return to a COLD START option, press the CPU reset button.)
If a COLD START is chosen, then the piezo-sounder will beep and the display will show ZAP?.
Press the YES key to accept the selection. (If you decide to leave the RAM memory unchanged
at this stage, press any other key than the YES key. You will then abort the COLD START and
instead execute an AUTO START, see page 38). If the YES key is pressed, the display will show
RAM=0000 for about five seconds, indicating that all RAM memory is being zeroed, followed
by ENTER NAME/ADDRESS ?. Press the YES key and the display will show a flashing
cursor, /\, in the farthest-left position.
It is important that you enter the name and address of the site as this will be printed in the
heading of the system log, literal print-out, and on-line report and will provide a useful record for
all print-outs. Refer to page 4 for information on how to enter the necessary characters. Once the
name and address information is entered, position the cursor up and press the RETURN key.
