Conguring the System via the Key Pad
Entering Characters in Edit Fields
There are two types of character sets that are used in the m2 depending on 
which edit eld has been selected:
Full Character Set 
This is used in most of the edit elds.  When the edit eld has been selected, the 
characters within the set can be cycled through using the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ keys.  If the  
‘ ’ key is pressed rst, it will start at ‘A’ and go forward through the character 
set.  If the ‘ ’ key is pressed rst, it will start at ‘z’ and go backwards through the 
character set.
When a character has been selected, press either ‘ ’ to move to the next space 
or ‘↵’ to move to the next edit eld.
Alphanumeric Character Set 
If the  ‘ ’ key is pressed rst, it will start at ‘0’ and go forward through the 
character set.  If the ‘  key is pressed rst, it will start at ‘z’ and go backwards 
through the character set.
By pressing the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ keys, the eld is incremented or decremented.  By 
pressing the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ keys you can skip across the unit elds to make entering 
larger numbers easier.
If your language uses Diacritics (accented characters), the m2 provides the 
facility to enter these both from the local keypad and remotely via PC. This 
facility is language sensitive such that only Diacritics which are relevant to the 
language active on the unit are available. The method of entry is to select a 
base character as normal and then add the required accent, e.g. in French if an 
‘é’ is required the procedure is to rst select ‘e’ as described above, then enter 
Diacritic mode and select the acute accent ´. To enter a Diacritic mode on a 
suitable character, hold down the ‘ ’ like a shift key and press the ‘ ’ key once. 
This will add the rst available accent to your character, any more which are 
available can then be selected by pressing the ‘  and ‘ ’ keys together. When 
the required accent is displayed, simply moving on to the next character stores 
this and cancels the Diacritic mode. If you move the cursor onto an already 
accented character, the unit will automatically enter Diacritic mode allowing you 
to change the accent. Diacritic mode may be manually cancelled by pressing the 
‘ ’ and ‘ ’  once more. 
 
To congure the system via the key pad, select the Setup Menu option from the 
Main Menu.
To change any of the conguration information via the keypad, you must rst 
enter the correct password.  The default passcode is 291.  However, this may 
have been changed to a passcode which is site specic.
Enter in the password using the  ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ keys to cycle through the character 
list and the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ key to move the cursor left or right respectively.  When the 
password is complete, press ‘↵’.
The installation name is displayed on the Point Overview screen, the Alarm 
History screen, the Event History screen and on the various printouts.
