Entering the Installer Programming Menu at Initial System Setup
After initial system power-up, language/time/date setting, viewing enabled zones
and defining system partitions, you’ll be in the installer Programming menu (at the
Auto Settings bus scan).
IMPORTANT: After you finish initial system setup programming tasks from the
installer Programming menu, you must exit the installer Programming menu
(see Exiting Installer Programming Menu after Initial System Programming, page 208).
Subsequently Accessing Installer Menus
After exiting the installer Programming menu (after you finished programming in
it the first time), if you subsequently ever want to access this menu again (or to
other installer menus, such as the installer Maintenance menu for testing), DIP
switch 2 must be set to OFF, otherwise it will reset the installer, sub-installer and
Grand Master codes to factory defaults. For subsequent programming from the
installer Programming menu, another option is from the Configuration Software.
Step 2: Powering-Up and Initializing the System
When a new system is powered-up the first time, here are the initialization steps:
1: Initial power-up, language selection. The system automatically connects to the
Cloud.
2: View enabled zones, define the maximum number of system partitions, and set
the time & date.
System Power-Up and Language Selection
NOTE: During regular system operation (after initial system power-up & settings)
the language can be subsequently changed by pressing Exit ( ) + 9
simultaneously.
To initially power-up and select a language:
1. Power-up the main panel; the keypad panel takes a few seconds to initialize
(there may be an automatic 3-minute upgrade that runs automatically, during
which the upgrade and power icons may display on the keypad – make sure
you do not disconnect).
2. Press Exit when prompted, then scroll to select a language & press OK ( ).
NOTE: If powering up subsequently (after initial power-up and system
initialization), language, time & date settings will not automatically appear.
Instead you will be prompted to enter the installer code to access the Installer
menus for programming.
