14 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
4 PROGRAMMING METHODS
The Digiplex Control Panel can be programmed using the WinLoad
software, the Paradox Memory Key, or manually by using a
keypad. We highly recommend programming the control panel with
WinLoad as it greatly simplifies the process and reduces potential
data errors. Please refer to WINLOAD SOFTWARE on page45 for
details on how to set up the control panel to function with WinLoad.
You can also copy the programmed contents of one Digiplex
control panel into as many Digiplex control panels as you need by
using the Paradox Memory Key (see section 4.7). Each control
panel is programmed in less than 5 seconds.
Keypads and other bus modules can also be programmed easily
by using Module Broadcast (see section 13.13). Once a module is
programmed, its sections can be sent to other similar modules
through the bus.
4.1 PANEL PROGRAMMING MODE
Use the Programming Guide to keep track of which sections were
programmed and how. In order to program anything in the Digiplex
Control Panel you must enter the programming mode.
After entering the required data, the control panel will save the data
and automatically advance to the next section or press the [ENTER]
key to save whatever data has been entered and automatically
advance to the next section. Press the [CLEAR] key to revert to the
preceding step or to erase the current data entry when you are
entering data.
4.2 MODULE PROGRAMMING MODE
All modules connected to the communication bus are programmed
through any keypad in the system. To do so, simply enter Module
Programming Mode as shown below.
The control panel will redirect all programming to the selected
module. To exit the Module Programming Mode, press the [CLEAR]
key as many times as needed to return to the desired screen.
Please note that a module's serial number can be located on the
module's PC board or it may already be recorded in the module's
Installation Guide.
4.3 FEATURE SELECT PROGRAMMING
Most of the Digiplex Control Panel options are programmed using
the Feature Select Method, where each number from 1 to 8
corresponds to a specific feature or option. Set these options by
turning the number corresponding to the feature ON or OFF. The
option is considered ON when the number appears within the
brackets on the LCD keypad or when the number is illuminated on
an LED Keypad. You turn options ON and OFF by pressing the
corresponding keys on the keypad. Press the keys as many times
as you need to select the desired options and then press [ENTER] to
save.
4.4 DECIMAL PROGRAMMING
Certain sections may require the entry of a 3-digit decimal value
from 000 to 255.
4.5 HEXADECIMAL PROGRAMMING
Certain sections may require the entry of one or more Hexadecimal
values from 0 to F. Press:
[0] to [9] = values 0 to 9 respectively
[STAY] key = A [DISARM] key = D
[FORCE] key = B [BYP] key = E
[ARM] key = C [MEM] key = F
4.6 LEVEL PROGRAMMING
In the sections requiring Level Programming, only one option can
be enabled. To enable the option use the [p] and [q] keys. Press
[ENTER] to save.
TO ENTER CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING MODE:
Step 1: Press and hold [0] key
Step 2: Key in the [INSTALLER CODE] (Default is 000000)
Step 3: Key in the 3-digit [SECTION]
Every feature and or option is programmed into a three-
digit section starting at [001].
Step 4: Key in required [DATA]
The type of data required will be detailed in the
Programming Guide and/or explained in the
appropriate sections of this manual.
TO ENTER THE MODULE PROGRAMMING MODE:
Step 1: Press & hold [0] key
Step 2: Key in [INSTALLER CODE] (Default is 000000)
Step 3: Key in section [953]
Step 4: Key in 8-digit [SERIAL NUMBER] of the module you wish
to program
Step 5: Key in 3-digit [SECTION] and required [DATA]
Refer to the module’s Programming Guide or the
module’s Installation Guide for details.
