PROGRAMMING FROM THE PANEL
Read through the following section carefully, in order to
get an overall view of how to use the Programming
Overlay during the various “Programming Phases”. For
details regarding the parameters of each phase, refer to
the respective paragraph in the “PROGRAMMING
FROM A PC” chapter.
Using the Programming Overlay
The Programming Overlay is set up in columns.
The LEDs in column A represent the Programming
Phases: ZONES; TIMES; OUTPUTS; PANEL;
VARIOUS and MODULES.
Columns B, C, D, E and F are divided into panes, each
pane providing a series of options. Each option is pre
-
ceded by a number, representing the Programming
Phase it belongs to (e.g. Pre-alarm time — column C
belongs to the TIMES Programming Phase).
The panes in column B have LEDs, those in columns C
(except for the “Next Phase” key), D, E and F have
LEDs and keys. During the programming session, the
LEDs and keys and will take on “Multi-Task” status, that
is, they will operate in accordance with the Program-
ming Phase concerned.
+
Some options must be ENABLED/DISABLED by
means of the Zone keys (Z1 through Z8 for the
J408; Z1 through Z24for the J424). The Program-
ming Overlay covers the keys of Zones 1 through 8
(Z1 ...Z8), however, there is no need to remove it,
as these keys are clearly indicated in columns E
and F.
Accessing the Programming session
1. Remove the screws 4 and open the Control panel.
2. Connect the jumper 65 to the first and second ter
-
minal pins on the 3-pin terminal strip marked PRG
on the Main Board. All the Control panel LEDs will
go OFF except for the Disab./Fault Telecom LED
which will blink — to indicate that the system is re
-
ady for programming via computer.
3. Press and hold the Disab./Fault Telecom key for at
least 2 seconds. The green Mains LED will blink and
the Amber Mains LED will go ON to indicate that the
system is ready for programming via the Control panel.
4. Remove the cut-outs (for the LEDs), and insert the
tabs of the Programming Overlay into the Zone la
-
bel slots, as shown in Figure 29.
5. Press the Next Phase key 9 then select the group of
parameters that you want to program: ZONES,
TIMES; OUTPUTS; PANEL or VARIOUS (refer to the
respective paragraph for details) or, if you want to
program the Extinguishment Modules, press and hold
(for at least 2 seconds) key 3 or key 6, respectively,
Extinguishment Module nr. 1 and Extinguishment
Module nr. 2 (refer to “Programming Modules” for de-
tails). The respective LED in column A will turn On to
indicate the group of parameters concerned.
Exiting the Programming Session
Once programming has been completed, press key 9,
then connect the jumper 65 to the second and third ter
-
minals on the 3-pin terminal strip marked PRG on the
Main Board. The Control panel will Reset automatically.
+
Press the Next Phase key 9 before repositioning the
jumper, otherwise, the settings will not be saved.
