Site-specific programming may be accomplished in three ways:
• Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the FACP 
addressable SLC devices on-line without the necessity of programming each device 
individually.  Refer to “Autoprogram” on page 44 for a detailed description of 
Autoprogramming
• Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad or a PC keyboard
• Off-line Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific 
custom programs using a Windows-based computer.  For programs requiring a large amount 
of data entry, this method may be preferred.  A VeriFire Warden programming kit can be 
ordered for this purpose
The System All Normal screen will be displayed in a programmed system with no active alarms, 
troubles or supervisories, as illustrated below: 
Programming,  Read Status and Manual Dial mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of 
operation.  If the panel is in alarm, the alarm condition must be acknowledged before entering any 
other mode.  To access any of the programming or read status features, the Enter or Mode key must 
be pressed, which will cause the LCD to display the following: 
Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the Read 
Status Mode which allows the user to view the programmed features and status of the control panel  
The Read Status feature is not password protected.  Refer to “Read Status” on page 135 for a 
detailed description of this feature.
Pressing 2 will select user Programming Mode which may only be accomplished by an authorized 
person.  After pressing 2, a screen will prompt for a password.  After entering the correct password, 
the user may select from a list of programming options.
Pressing 3 will select the Manual Dial Mode which allows the user to enter a troubleshoot mode of 
operation.
Exit Programming, Read Status and Manual Dial Mode
The programmer can exit any mode by repeatedly pressing the keypad ESC (Escape) key until the 
display reads System All Normal.  Note that the data which is entered during Programming mode is 
not saved until the programmer exits this mode by repeatedly pressing the ‘ESC’ key.  If the Reset key 
is pressed or power is lost before exiting Programming mode, all data just entered will be lost.
