AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual
AES Corporation 28 40-7788, Rev 6, August 30, 2016
4 Programming
Programming is accomplished by attaching a compatible programmer to the
J1/Programmer connector of the main circuit board. The following are programming
instructions using the AES 7041 Hand Held Programmer. Unless noted, software at
the AES central receiver can also be used to program some of the functions listed in
this section, if remote programming has not been disabled as described in Section 4.1
below. Refer to AES software documentation for remote programming instructions.
A conversion chart for using a PC terminal program such as Hyper Terminal, as a
programmer can be found later in this manual. Previously programmed information
is stored in non-volatile memory, so the settings are not lost during a power down or
power failure.
4.1 Remote Programming Limitations (Enable/Disable)
Note: NFPA 72 does not allow remote programming of an installed 7788F unless
an authorized person is present at the unit to temporarily enable this capability.
Throughout AES documentation remote programming of AES Subscribers using
software at the central station is mentioned. Remote programming of the 7788F is
automatically disabled when the option to send Trouble Packets is selected in Zone
Programming accessed by <Ctrl> + <F3> on the hand held programmer. UL and
Fire Alarm installations require Trouble Packets and “F” zone programming.
Trouble Packets are enabled when you select “Y” for the “Fire Trouble Packets”
question in Zone programming. Fire Trouble Packets are also, automatically enabled
if Remote Programming changes any zone to “F”.
See 4.4 Zone Programming.
Once remote programming is disabled as described above, the 7788F can only be
programmed using the J1/Programmer Jack. Remote programming can be
temporarily enabled for a 10 minute window after accessing the programming
functions using <Ctrl>+<F1>, <Ctrl>+<F2> or <Ctrl>+<F3> via a programmer
directly attached to the J1/Programmer Jack. Note that the 10-minute access window
begins after completing the accessed function or when it times out in 65 seconds.
Remote programming is not possible when any programming function is active.
To Enable Remote Programming: (Not for Fire Alarm Service type inputs)
Selecting “N” for the “Fire Trouble Packets” question in Zone programming
will enable remote programming.
A RAM reset, which can only be performed with a directly attached
programmer, will configure all zones to “S” programming, with no Restore
messages sent, and “N” selected for “Fire Trouble Packets” question leaving
remote programming enabled.
