Section 3: How to Program
3.1 Introduction to Programming
The PC4020 is programmed via a menu system. Use the arrow
keys (<>) to scroll through different menu options and press the
[*] key to select the menu option displayed. Continue this proce
-
dure until the required program section is displayed, then press
the [*] key to select it. To arrive at a program section where data
can be entered may require scrolling and selecting items from sev
-
eral menus. Press the [#] to return to the previous menu.
To enter Installer’s Programming, enter [*][8][Installer’s Code] at
any keypad that is enrolled on the system.
In order to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing
Installer’s Programming, the Installer’s Code should be changed
from the default setting. By default, the Installer’s Code is [5555].
To change the Installer’s Code, see
7.1 ”Installer’s Code’.
Once you have entered Installer’s Programming, the first menu
consists of five items, listed below. Use the arrow keys (<>) to
scroll to the desired menu item and press the [*] key to select it:
• System Area - These programming options affect the opera-
tion of the entire system. These options include communica-
tions, downloading, printer options, installer and master code
programming, etc.
• Partition Area - These options are programmed for each par-
tition. These options include zone assignments, partition
times, partition options etc.
• Module Hardware - This menu is used when you enroll the
system modules and keypads.
• Event Buffer - This menu allows access to the system’s event
buffer for printing.
• Diagnostics - These options pertain to trouble conditions
reported by the modules.
Use the arrow keys to scroll to the message indicating the area
you wish to program and press [*]. For example, to program the
Partition 2 account number, scroll to each of the following mes
-
sages and press [*]:
Scroll to... Press [*]
Press [*]
Scroll to... Press [*]
Press [*].
Enter the 4-digit Partition 2 customer ID code. The display will
return to the ’Customer ID Code’ display.
Press [#] to return to the previous menus and to exit the installer
programming mode.
The arrow keys (<>) will appear in the top right-hand corner of
the display to indicate that there are multiple menu items or pro
-
gram sections.
3.2 Programming by Reference Number
A quicker method of programming the panel is to jump directly to
a program section using the reference number system. These ref
-
erence numbers appear beside each programming item in the Pro-
gramming Worksheets, and under each heading in the Installation
Manual.
To program using reference numbers, enter Installer’s program-
ming([*][8][Installer’s Code]). Press and hold the [A]uxiliary key
until the keypad displays the following message:
’Enter Ref # then *’.
Enter the reference number found in the Programming Work-
sheets for the section you wish to program, then press the [*] key.
The display will immediately go to the programming item you
have selected.
For example, the reference number for the Partition 2 Account
Number is [0100XX00]. The ’XX’ is the 2-digit partition number,
in this case [02].
Once the Reference Number is entered and the [*] key is pressed,
the keypad will jump directly to that programming item. If an
error is made when entering the reference number, use the [<] key
to move the cursor back to the first digit and re-enter the reference
number.
Once you have programmed the section, you must press [#] to
save the change. Then, press and hold the [A] key to enter another
reference number.
Once you become familiar with each programming option’s refer-
ence number, programming will become quick and simple. If you
forget a particular reference number, you can always scroll
through the menu items in order to refresh your memory. All pro
-
gramming reference numbers are listed in the Programming
Worksheets.
3.3 Programming Decimal Data
Some programming sections require decimal (0-9) entries, such as
zone definitions and system times. Make sure to record all
required decimal data in the Programming Worksheets before
beginning to program each section.
Many sections require a specific number of digits. Once all digits
have been entered, the control panel will automatically exit that
section and will return to the previous menu.
If the [#] key is pressed, only the data entered will be changed. All
programming data remaining will be left unchanged. For exam
-
ple, when programming telephone numbers, press the [#] key
after the number is entered to exit the programming item and to
save having to program all 32 digits.
