Configuring the System − Getting Started

Saving Changes
Changes are saved only when you leave the Installer menu. If you remove all power
before leaving the Installer menu, changes will not be saved. Note that this does not apply
if you restore factory defaults; that change takes place immediately.
Code Lockouts
If you (or any user) enter your code incorrectly or present an unrecognised proximity tag,
the display shows the time and date again, gives an error tone and you can try again.
If there are four consecutive incorrect access codes or proximity tags, the system starts a
tamper alarm and locks out all users for 90 seconds. This event is recorded in the log as
“Excess Keys Tamper”.
Once the lock-out time has expired, you can try again. If the next attempt is also invalid,
system locks for another 90 seconds, but will not start another tamper alarm.
Transferring to another keypad
While in the Installer menu, you can transfer to any other keypad without leaving the
Installer menu. To do this, simply go to any other keypad and enter the Installer access
code. The new keypad will pick up your position in the Installer menu. The keypad you
have left will exit the Installer menu.
Understanding the User Interface
Selecting Options
The control unit displays configuration options in menus. The top-level Installer menu
contains options such as Detectors/Devices:
You can select a different option by pressing the or key at the keypad until the name
of the option or device you want is displayed. For example, pressing once when
Detectors/Devices is displayed displays Outputs:
Pressing displays the earlier option in the menu. For example, pressing once when
Outputs is displayed displays Detectors/Devices.
Pressing selects that option, which may display a menu of further options. For example,
selecting Detectors/Devices displays the first option in the Detectors/Devices menu:
You can repeat the process until you have selected the lowest-level setting you want to
change.
Pressing at the keypad takes you back one level. For example, pressing when you are
in the Detectors/Devices – Detectors menu takes you back to the Detectors/Devices
menu.
