Programming
Introduction
During programming the Remote Keypad keys are used for entering data and moving round the
different sections of the User Menu shown on Page 4.
Use the [YES/OPTION] key to accept a displayed option and to access a set of sub-menus from
the User Menu. The [YES/OPTION] key is also used as an Enter key for new data (e.g. a new
Access Code) which you have just entered into the display.
Use the [NO/QUIT] key to refuse a displayed option or to quit the present Menu and exit to the
previous menu selection. The [NO/QUIT] key also provides the Abandon Edits function; this
discards the current data entry leaving the previous data intact.
Use the numeric keys to enter time, date, Access Codes etc. When a number is entered you may
need to use leading zeros to ensure that all data fields are correct (e.g. to set the Time and Date
to 8 am on January 1st 1966 you will need to enter 0800010196).
Programming Text
The RS125 contains a Text Editor which operates on a 12 character text field. The System
Manager can incorporate Zone Names, Area Names and User Names into the Text Window
display.This makes the system easier to use (e.g. when identifying Setting Faults).
The Text Editor uses the keypad in a similar manner to that on a portable phone; each Numeric
key can be used to scroll round several letters to give access to a complete alphabet as shown in
the diagram opposite. The Function Keys are used to control the Cursor and to load and save
Text. The Text Editor maintains a separate Text Buffer, this is very useful for carrying text over
from one entry to the next.
Function Keys
[YES/OPTION] (Enter) Accepts the character at the cursor and moves the cursor one
space to the right. If the cursor is positioned over the last
character, pressing Yes (Enter) returns the cursor the extreme left
of the text editing line.
[NO/QUIT] (Abandon Edits) Exits from the Text Editor without saving the text.
[SCROLL UP](Insert space) Inserts a space at the cursor and moves the character at the
cursor, and those to the right of the cursor, one space to the right.
If any character is moved off the display it is lost.
[SCROLL DOWN] (Delete) Deletes the character at the cursor, and moves all characters to
the right of the cursor, one space to the left filling the space left by
the deleted character.
[FULL] (Save) Saves the entered text and moves on to the next entry or exits
from the present menu. Use this key when you have completed the
line of text.
[PART] (Load from Buffer) Loads the Text Buffer containing the last saved text into the
current text line.
To change a character, position the Cursor over the character and use a numeric key to overtype
the previous character with the new one.
