SPECIAL MESSAGES
OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between console and control).
EE or ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered; re-enter valid field number).
After powering up, "AC, dI"(disabled) or "Busy Standby" and "NOT READY" will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds.
This will revert to READY in approximately. 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize.
To bypass this delay, press: # + 0.
If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. Correct the programming and
then completely de-power and re-power the control to clear this indication and remove the disable indication.
TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE:
1. POWER UP, then press ✱and # both at once, within 50 seconds of powering up.
OR
2. Initially, key: Installer Code (4 + 1 + 1 + 2) plus 8 + 0 + 0.
OR
3. If different Installer Code is programmed, key: New Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0.
(If ✱98 was used to exit previously, method 1 above must be used to enter the program mode again.)
TO EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE:
✱98 Exits programming mode and
prevents
re-entry by keying Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0. If ✱98 is used to exit
programming mode, system must be powered down, and method 1 above used to enter the programming mode.
✱99 Exits programming mode and
allows
re-entry by keying Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0; or by powering up, then pressing
✱and # within 50 seconds of power-up.
