About Programming
You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual
installation. Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s office/home,
using an IBM compatible personal computer, a CIA/CIA-EU modem, and Compass
downloading software.
The following is a list of the various Programming modes used to program this system:
Programming Mode… Used to …
Data Field Programming Program basic data fields used for setting the various system
options. Most of the data fields in this system have been
programmed for specific default values. However, some fields
must be programmed for each particular installation to
establish its specific alarm and reporting features.
∗56 Zone Programming Assign zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and
serial numbers for RF transmitters.
∗57 Function Key Programming Program each of the four alphabet function keys to perform one
of several system operations.
∗58 Zone Programming Assign zone attributes similar to ∗56 mode, but provides a faster
(Expert Mode) programming procedure and is intended for those more
experienced in programming controls of this type.
∗79 Output Device Mapping Assign device addresses used by 4229/4204 Relay modules or
6164 keypad and map specific relays and device outputs, and
assign unit codes for Powerline Carrier devices
∗80 Output Definitions Define up to 12 output definitions which can control the output
relays mapped using *79 Output Device Mapping mode.
∗81 Zone List Programming Create Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier zones, chime
zones, night-stay, exit route zones, final exit door zone, and
pager zones.
∗82 Alpha Programming Create alpha descriptors for easy zone identification.
Scheduling Mode (code + [#] +64) Create schedules to automate various system functions or to
determine user access.
