OPERATING CONVENTIONS

The following is a brief summary of how to select a function or mode, how to perform various

functions, and how to exit from a selected function or mode.

FUNCTION OR MODE SELECTION

To execute any function or to select any mode on the panel, you need to do two things: first,

identify yourself and, second, tell the panel what you want to do. To identify yourself, enter your

L four- or five-digit user code on the keypad. If you are using a four-digit code even though the

five-digit option has been chosen (see SET IDS/OPTIONS, page 46), you must remember to

press the RETURN key to complete the entry. For security reasons, the display will not show the

numbers entered but instead will display a * for every digit. To tell the panel what you want to

do, enter a single character or number corresponding to the function or mode required. If you

are allowed access to this option, the entry will be accepted. If you do not know the command

character for the function or mode you want, enter your user code and press the HELP key. The

panel will list the options available to you.

ANSWERING A QUESTION

When the panel requires a yes or no reply to a question, it displays a flashing ?. For example:

QUIT ? - The panel is asking if you want to quit (exit) the present operating function or mode.

To answer yes, press the YES key. To answer no, press the NO key.

ENTERING A NUMBER

When the panel requires a numeric entry, the display will usually indicate what is required. For

example: SHUNT ZONE 0 - A flashing cursor symbol indicates where the digits are to be

placed. Type in the required number. If a number has been entered in error, press the

BACKSPACE key to return the cursor to the incorrect number and then enter the correct number

in its place. Press the RETURN key to complete the entry. To exit a numeric-entry routine

without entering a number, simply press the NO key.

SUB-MENUS

Certain functions and modes display a flashing message showing three choices, each separated

by dashes. In such cases, the required choice is selected by pressing the key directly under the

word in the display. For example: IDS--OPTIONS--NAMES - Press the FULL DISARM key to

select IDS, the AUDIBLE SILENCE 2 key to select OPTIONS, and the HELP key to select

NAMES.

MESSAGES

Flashing alert messages (e.g., *** FIRE ALARM ***) can only be removed by using the

ACKNOWLEDGE ALARMS function (see page 40). WARNING messages (e.g., AC POWER

FAIL) will disappear when the cause is removed.
