Labeling zones 
If you set the Label Zones incremental programming option to Yes, follow these steps 
to label zones. 
To label zones: 
1.  Enter the zone number to be labeled. 
2.  Enter a text label for the zone (two lines of 20 
characters). The default label is “Zone XX.” 
3.  Press Enter to save the label and go to the next zone 
number. Note: Pressing the Enter button saves the 
current label and then goes to the next zone number 
so that you can quickly go to each zone and label it. 
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 have finished labeling, move the cursor to 
the zone number, and press the Cancel button to 
continue with the next incremental programming 
option.

Adding and removing devices from programmed 
systems 
You can add an additional device or several devices to a system that has already 
been programmed without re-entering programming mode. Once the device is 
installed, the panel signals a trouble active event and indicates on the LCD screen 
that there is an unconfigured device. The device can then be programmed and added 
to the database. 
Notes 
•  If you are adding more than a few devices, you may want to use the Incremental 
programming option that lets you quickly add and label the devices. See 
“Performing incremental programming” on page 64. 
•  You must log on with a level two password to add a device.
