Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual  75 
Adding devices 
To add a device to a programmed system: 
1.  Install the device on the system. 
The system recognizes the new device and displays a 
trouble event message that indicates that there is an 
unprogrammed device. 
2. Press Enter. 
The device details screen is displayed. 
3.  Press Enter again, and enter a level two password (if 
you are not already logged on). 
The Add Device screen is displayed. 
4.  Verify the device that you are about to
add, and press 
Enter. 
The Device programming menu is displayed. If the 
device is not a valid device, “invalid device” is 
displayed and you will be unable to program the 
device. 
5.  Program device options using Table 19 on page 61. 
Some device options have a factory default setting 
that you can accept or change. See “Factory default 
settings” on page 35. 
Notes 
•  If you added a dual address device, both 
addresses for the device are displayed on the 
screen (e.g. 001/002). The first address listed is the 
device address you are programming. When you 
pick the second address to program, both 
addresses are still displayed but in reverse order 
(e.g. 002/001). 
•  Depending on the type of device you are 
programming, some of the options in the Table 19 on 
page 61 may not be available. 
6.  When you have finished programming each option, 
choose Save. The device is added to the database 
and the unprogrammed device event is cleared. 
7.  Press the Menu button to exit menu mode.
