About Descriptor Programming
The system lets you assign zone descriptors for protection zones, touchpad panics, and RF receiver
supervision faults. Each description can be composed of a combination of words (up to 3) selected from a
vocabulary of 196 words stored in memory (see a following page). In addition, up to 10 installer-defined
words can be added to those already in memory, plus 3 additional words can be assigned as partition
descriptors. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for that zone's
location can be displayed at the touchpad. Zone descriptors are recommended for systems using Custom
English display touchpads, and are necessary if a 4286VIP Phone Module is used.
NOTE: You can enter zone descriptors when the zone is being defined in
✱
56 Menu mode, but we
recommend you do it using
✱
82 Menu mode.
If using a 4286VIP Phone Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary List shown in boldface
type. The phone module will not provide annunciation of the other words.
If a 4286 Phone Module is added to an existing system, the Alpha descriptors presently in the system
should be reprogrammed, selecting from those words shown in boldface type in the Alpha Vocabular
y
List.
The phone module will not provide annunciation of any other words.
Programming Zone Descriptors (Menu Mode ∗
∗∗
∗82)
Descriptor programming involves:
1. Entering index numbers for up to three words from the vocabulary list for each descriptor;
2. Entering up to ten 10-digit custom words, if desired, which can then be used in descriptors.
When defining descriptors:
• Pressing the [6] key accepts the entered index number and moves the cursor to the next position
for a descriptor.
• Pressing the [8] key saves the entered descriptor and moves to the next descriptor.
Start Zone Descriptor Programming mode by pressing *82 while in Data Programming mode. The
following prompts are displayed:
