PROGRAMMING CUSTOM MESSAGES

Once in Program mode, the LCD-80 ceases all communication on the RS-485 and waits for

commands from the RS-232 circuit. The LCD-80 screen will display:

READY FOR PROGRAMMING

Configure the Laptop in Terminal Mode, and it will display:

ENTER 1 to 9 FOR 9 CUSTOM MESSAGES

OR 0 FOR CUSTOM POINT LABEL:

Any one of the nine custom messages may be programmed by pressing the respective number

followed by ENTER on the keyboard. The LCD-80 screen and the display monitor will display either

a default message or whatever message was last stored in the unit. Text cannot be immediately

entered since the cursor starts at the end of the message. The LCD-80 programmer must edit the

message using the backspace key, then enter a new message.

Once the message has been edited, press the ENTER key to store the message.

The screen will return to the display,

READY FOR PROGRAMMING.

These custom messages have various character widths and are displayed under different conditions

present within the fire alarm system.
