Editing Point Label
This option allows you to assign a 20-character custom label
to each NAC point.
1. Follow the steps in “Accessing Menus.” Make sure to
choose NAC as the type of device to program.
<ENTER>=Accept
Prg: [NAC]
2. Press <ENTER>, and then use <NEXT> and <PREV>
keys to choose the circuit (NAC1, NAC2, NAC3, or
NAC4) to program.

3. Use the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys to scroll through
the choices until <Edit Label> or <Clear Label>
appears. (Edit Label preserves the existing label and
allows editing. Clear Label deletes the existing label
first and then allows editing.)

Fn: [Edit Label]
4. Press <ENTER>. A cursor appears beneath the leftmost
letter of the currently assigned custom label. Use the left
and right arrow keys to move the cursor between letters.
You can edit a label in one of three ways:
• Using the Keypad. Press the alphanumeric key cor-
responding to the letter you want. For example, for
the letter “C”, press the “2” key on the keypad three
times. Use the left and right arrow keys to move to
the next letter in the label.
• Use the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys. Each time
you press the <NEXT> key, the display advances to
the next character. Likewise, each press of the
<PREV> key moves backward one character. Use
the left and right arrow keys to move to the next let-
ter in the label.
• Use the Word Library, which is a stored list of com-
mon words sorted alphabetically. Press the
<FUNCTION> key on the front panel. A prompt
similar to the following appears.
NAC1
<FUNC>=Word Library
To jump to a word, press the alphanumeric key cor-
responding to the first letter in the word. For exam-
ple, to use the word Floor, press the “3” key
repeatedly until Floor appears.
Refer back to Table 3-2 for a list of words in the
library.
5. Pressing <ENTER> saves the current label. Pressing
<EXIT/CLEAR> will quit label editing without saving.
Editing Alarm Groups
Alarm groups allow you to program selective signaling.
Assign the NAC an alarm group number from 1 to 99.
Assign the same alarm group number to the initiating
device(s) that you want to control the NAC. Each NAC can
be in up to three groups.
