4.  Enter a text label for the zone (two lines of 20 
characters). 
5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all zones are labeled. 
6.  When you finish labeling, make sure the cursor is on 
the zone number, and press the Cancel button to exit 
and go to the next auto programming option. 
Performing incremental programming 
Incremental programming lets you add and label devices and zones to an existing 
database without affecting current settings. It is typically used to add or remove a 
device loop or a large number of individual devices. Incremental programming should 
be used only after the panel has been program either by auto programming or 
advanced programming. 
Incremental programming options 
Table 20 below describes the options to be set when performing incremental 
programming. 
Table 20: Incremental programming options 
Loop  Select the loop (number) that you want to program, or select All to program all loops.
Label devices  Yes: Enables device labeling 
No: Disables device labeling 
Label zones  Yes: Enables zone labeling 
No: Disables zone labeling 
Follow  This option controls the conditions that will activate relay or sounder detector bases. 
Select from the following values: 
Head: The base is controlled by the detector’s settings. 
•  The base activates when the detector goes into alarm, unless the detector is set 
for alarm verification. 
•  If the detector is set for alarm verification, the base activates when the detector 
goes into alarm verification. It does not restore, however, until the alarm 
restores. 
•  The base does not respond when the detector goes into prealarm no matter how
the detector is configured. 
•  Devices with the base set to follow “Head” cannot be placed in correlation 
groups. When a device base is set to follow "Head," the base is removed as an 
output from any Correlation Groups to which it belongs.
