PCX 256 PROGRAMMING MANUAL CHAPTER 2: SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2.
PCX 256 PROGRAMMING MANUAL CHAPTER 3: THE ENGINEERS MENU In order to program system configurations from the keypad, you must be in the Engineer Menu. The panel will enter the Engineering Menu after entering a valid engineer code when the panel is in a disarmed state. Whilst in Engineer Mode all tamper alarms (including case tamper), will be disabled. 3.1 Entering The Engineers Menu NOTE: You will not be able to access Engineers Mode if Areas or Set levels are set.
PCX 256 PROGRAMMING MANUAL CHAPTER 4: POWERING UP & KEYPAD OPERATIONS Before using the system, all items connected to the RS-485 communications bus must be allocated a unique address. 4.1 Default Codes User: 1234. Master Manager: 2222 Engineers: 1111 4.2 Initial Power Up Power up the PCX system on mains only, an alarm will be generated.
PCX 256 PROGRAMMING MANUAL 4.4 Testing The Keypad With the system disarmed, press the key for 10 seconds at any keypad. This will cause all the LEDs on that keypad to illuminate, and the LCD screen to scroll a display testing each pixel. The keypad will revert to normal display approximately 10 seconds after the key is released. 4.5 Text Programming Text may be programmed for input names, for the ‘sign-on’ message, and to identify the arm level being armed / disarmed.
PCX 256 PROGRAMMING MANUAL 4.7 Arm / Disarm System If you do not have access to a user code, arming and disarming the system can be done using the engineer’s code.
