Advent Commercial Fire System
Using the Downloader Software to
Program the Panel
With a personal computer, modem, phone cables, and ITI
Advent Downloader software, you can quickly and effi-
ciently download previously selected programming to the
panel via a phone line connection. You can also upload
panel programming to the software for your records or for
“copying” to another similar installation.
For details on using the downloader software, refer to the
Advent Downloader User’s Manual shipped with the soft-
ware.
For detailed instructions on preparing the panel for down-
loading, refer to “Remote Downloader Programming” on
page 50.
Note
Not investigated by UL for use with Advent
Commercial Fire panel (60-562-03 and 60-562-06).
Using an Alphanumeric Touchpad to
Program the Panel
In program mode, touchpad buttons let you navigate
through installer programming menus for configuring the
system. Table 12 describes the touchpad button functions in
program mode.
Entering/Exiting Program Mode
Entering program mode is done using an installer code. The
system can only be placed in program mode when all parti-
tions/areas are disarmed.
To enter program mode:
1. Make sure the system is disarmed in all partitions/
areas.
2. At a touchpad, press
8 and the touchpad displays SYS-
TEM MENU.
3. Press
0 and the touchpad displays ENTER YOUR

ENTER ITEM NUMBER. Enter the desired item num-
ber.
To exit program mode:
Press ‚ repeatedly.
Using Item Numbers
When prompted, entering an Item Number will “jump” you
to the setting associated with the number. Once at the set-
ting you may view or change setting attributes. After chang-
ing attributes you may exit programming (
‚) or enter
another item number.
Table 13 describes the setting type and range/description of
all system item numbers.
System settings are explained below and on the following
pages. They appear as follows:
System settings in this manual appear in the same order as
you would see them in Advent Downloader software. This
is done to eliminate confusion whether you are program-
ming from a touchpad or the downloader.
If you prefer, Table A.13 on page 77 in Appendix A lists
the system settings in numeric order, by item number.
Included in the table are the item number, default setting,
and page number reference of the setting description.
Note
To keep track of panel programming, it is recommended
that you enter item number settings in Table A.13 in
