Things You Need to Know
About this Programming Guide
The MG6250 All-in-one Wireless Console can be programmed using either menu-based programming, or the section-based
method described in this manual. For complete details on the menu-based approach, refer to the MG6250 Menu Programming
Guide. This guide contains a list of programmable sections and supplemental programming information, which are not included in
the menu programming guide. As a result, use this programming guide in conjunction with the MG6250 Menu Programming
Guide when installing and programming your console.
Document Conventions
The following typographical conventions are used throughout this guide:
Installer Code
To enter programming mode, enter the installer code (0000/000000). This mode allows the installer to program all features and
options of the console, except for user codes. The installer code can be four or six digits in length. To change the installer code, refer
to the MG6250 Menu Programming Guide.
Maintenance Code
Similar to the installer code, the maintenance code allows you to enter programming mode and program all sections, except for
user codes and communication settings – these sections can only be accessed using the installer code. Since there is no default
code, refer to the MG6250 Menu Programming Guide to set a default.
System Master Code
The system master code (1234/123456) allows the master to utilize any arming method, as well as program user codes. This code
can be either four or six digits in length. The system master code cannot be changed by the installer or maintenance code.
System Reset
To reset the system to its default factory settings, press and hold the
*
and # buttons during system power-up, or access section
[9000]. For more information, refer to MG6250 Reset Sections on page 3.
Demo Mode
Demo mode provides a quick preview of the console’s visual and audible features. Upon entering demo mode, the console plays a
sequence of these features, such as playing its intro and greeting, as well as flashing LEDs and sounding tones and sirens. Demo
mode is only accessible via the system master code (default 1234/123456) and can be accessed as follows:
Menu>08-System Setup>Enter Code>12-Demo Mode.
Entering Programming Mode
To enter programming mode, proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold 0.
2. Enter your installer code (default is 0000/000000). See Installer Code on page 2 for details.
3. Enter the four-digit section you wish to program.
4. Enter the required data and record your settings using the worksheets included in this guide.
5. Press the
*
key to clear data or to go back one step. Press the # key to save changes.
WARNING: To enter programming mode, all zones must be disarmed and StayD mode deactivated.
