Chapter 2: Front panel programming
94 P/N 3102351-EN • REV 005 • ISS 28DEC18
Description
Select the device type based on the type of device you are programming.
Refer to “Device type descriptions” on page 49 for a list of all possible device types.
To program an input or output device:
1. Press the Menu button and choose Programming.
2. Choose Advanced Program and enter the level 2 password.
3. Choose Device.
4. If the panel has multiple loops, choose the loop to be configured.
5. Enter the device address to be configured.
For the VS4 panel, addresses 1 to 125 are detectors and addresses 126 to 250 are
modules.
Note: The device label occupies two lines just below the device number.
6. Program each device in the system using Table 26 on page 91.
Note: If you chose a dual address device, both addresses for the device are displayed on
the screen (e.g., 001/002). The first address listed is the device address you are
programming. When you pick the second address to program, both addresses are still
displayed but the order is reversed (e.g., 002/001).
Note: Depending on the type of device you are programming, some of the options in the
table below may not be available.
7. When you finish programming an option, choose Save, then choose the next option.
8. Press the Menu button to exit menu mode, or continue programming.
Programming relay and sounder detector bases
Relay and sounder bases require some configuration not required by other devices. First, the
panel does not automatically distinguish between relay and sounder bases — Both are set by
default to base type “relay.” You must manually change this setting for sounder bases.
