PROGRAMMING
REMOTE PROGRAMMING
The Entire panel may be preprogrammed and stored in the memory of an IBM PC or compatible. The panel
may then be programmed and the program verified either directly (with the panel directly connected to the
PC S1A modem) or remotely at the job site via the telephone.
AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADING
Automatic Downloading may be the most common because it doesn't require many preprogramming on the
part of the installer.
To execute automatic downloading, the installer must first install the basic panel, its power supply, and
telephone line hook-tip at minimum.
The installer then calls a pre-determined downloading line, and informs a local operator of the location.
Then the installer Hangs up the phone. The Downloader at the remote location calls the ACP. The ACP
will automatically answer the phone and begin programming.
If the program is successful, the ACP will go on-hook. The PC at the remote location will also indicate the
success of the process.
Note: In a few extreme phone line conditions, the downloading may not occur reliably even though alarm
reporting is not degraded. In those cases it may be necessary to either program the panel at the PC locations
or use the keypad programming.
