7. PROGRAM CODES
How to Enter the Programming Mode
To begin programming, you must hear the prompt Enter Program Code from the B1290. One way to get to this
prompt was discussed in the chapter on Getting Started. After you have entered the initial voice messages,
telephone numbers and an Acknowledge Code, the B1290 will prompt you to begin programming. A local
programming phone may be used at any time to alter parameters. It is also possible to program the B1290 remotely
by calling into it over the telephone line.
If you call a B1290 over the phone once it has been programmed, it will answer after four rings (default) and
announce its site ID, any alarms present, the status of the relays (if they have been programmed) and any error status
messages. Then it will prompt you to Enter Control Code. If the unit has been programmed to operate with a
password, you must enter the Access Code at this time. The B1290 will reply with Program Access and prompt you
to Enter Program Code. If an Access Code has not been programmed, the B1290 will time out after five seconds
and automatically enter the programming mode. You will hear the prompt Program Access; Enter Program Code.
When you connect a local programming phone, the B1290 goes through a similar sequence. It will announce its site
ID, any alarms present, the status of any programmed relays and any error status messages. Then it will prompt you
to Enter Control Code. It is not necessary to know the Access Code to program from the local phone. Wait five
seconds, and the B1290 will automatically prompt you with Program Access; Enter Program Code.
IMPORTANT: Remember that all programming codes must be followed by the “” code to enter them.
The following chapter, Programming Reference, divides the programming parameters into functional blocks.
Refer to that chapter to determine the parameter changes required for a specific function.
Appendix C is a Programming Tree for the B1290. It gives an overview of the parameters which may be
programmed and how they are organized. The Program Codes are explained in detail in the next section.
Voices
When you enter Program Code 1, you will hear the following prompt:
B1290: "Enter Voice Code"
YOU: Record Site ID and alarm messages
Record relay messages
Erase all messages
Exit to Enter Program Code prompt
Record Site ID and Alarm Messages
Record the voice messages associated with the unit (site ID) and each individual alarm point. These are the
messages which will be announced over the radio or telephone whenever the alarm is present.
B1290: "Site is Ajax Compressor Station"
YOU: Record
Quit
Enter/Next
Default: empty
If the message is OK, continue by hitting Enter. If you would like to record a new message, enter to record.
As soon as you hit the second asterisk of the Enter code, the B1290 will beep, prompting you to record a voice
message. When you stop speaking, the B1290 will detect your silence and immediately play back the message that
you recorded. Pauses between words may cause the recording to terminate. Do NOT enter during the
recording as the tones will disrupt normal callout operation. Repeat as many times as you need until the voice
message sounds acceptable. Then hit Enter to proceed, or to return to the Enter Voice Code prompt.
