HOW TO PROGRAM THE 8980
The Ranger 8980 can be placed into the "Program" mode by either of the following methods.
1. Enter the 4 digit "Go To Program" access code (locations 28-31). At initial power-up the code
in these slots is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]. The Ranger 8980 must be disarmed to gain access to
programming with this code.
2. Plug the optional model #8950 programmer into the 4-pin male outlet marked "program" on the
Ranger 8980 P.C. Board.
When the system keypad is utilized for programming (as described by method 1 above), the
Ranger 8980 will be in the "Program" mode, and the yellow LED's will display the data in location
000. The data is displayed using a Binary system. With this system the yellow zone 1 LED equals
"1" when illuminated. The zone 2 LED equals "2" when illuminated. The zone 3 LED equals "4"
when illuminated. The zone 4 LED equals "8" when illuminated. Thus if the data in location 000 is
"9", the LED for zone 1 (=1) and zone 4 (=8) would be illuminated. By adding the two values
together, (1+8=9) you would determine that the data in location 000 is "9". If the data in location
000 is "6", the LED for zone 2 (=2) and zone 3 (=4) would be added (2+4=6) indicating the data in
that location to be "6". If no LED's are illuminated, the location contains a "0". To advance from
location 000 through 180, press the [#] key. To go to a specific location, press the location
number followed by the [#] key. The yellow LED's will then display the data in that location. Data is
changed by entering a number 0 to 15 followed by [r] (data enter key). Review the examples in
figure 1 on page 7.
When using the optional #8950 Programmer, the programming keystrokes will be the same as
with the system keypad. The #8950 however, has the ability to display the location number and
the data on the numeric display. See figure 2 on page 7.
There re three function codes th t re used to progr m the R nger 8980. These codes re
[2]-[1]-[0]-[#], [2]-[2]-[0]-[#], nd [2]-[3]-[0]-[#], nd re described below.
# After all the programming data has been entered into locations 000-180, you must enter the
code [2]-[2]-[0]-[#] to permanently load the information into the EEPROM. IF THIS STEP IS
NOT TAKEN, THE DATA IN THE EEPROM WILL NOT CHANGE, AND THE RANGER 8980
WILL NOT CHANGE CHARACTERISTICS.
# To change the data back to the original default values, enter the code [2]-[1]-[0]-[#] to load the
data into the RAM memory and then [2]-[2]-[0]-[#] to load that data into the EEPROM.
# To exit the Program mode after it has been accessed with the four digit "Go To Program"
access code, enter code [2]-[3]-[0]-[#].

PAGES 8 & 9 DESCRIBE ALL THE LOCATIONS WHICH MUST BE PROGRAMMED FOR THE
RANGER 8980 TO FUNCTION AND REPORT TO A CENTRAL STATION. OTHER OPTIONS
MAY BE SELECTED BY FOLLOWING THE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATIONS 032-047: PROGRAMMING THE PRIMARY TELEPHONE NUMBER
The primary telephone number is programmed in successive locations beginning with location 032. Any zero (0) within
the telephone number, must be programmed as a "10". A "0" indicates the end of the phone number. Delays of four
seconds can be programmed at any point in the phone number by programming a "13" in the appropriate location. If
tone dialing is desired, program a "15" in the location where tone dialing should begin. If the entire number should be
tone dialing, program a "15" in location 032. When using split reporting, the primary number always takes priority over
the secondary telephone number.
LOCATIONS 048-051: PROGRAMMING THE ACCOUNT CODE FOR THE PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER
The account code sent when the PRIMAR phone number is dialed is programmed in locations 048-051. Any zero (0)
within the account code must be programmed as a "10", and the communicator will report a zero (0). If the account
code is three digits long, use locations 048, 049, and 050. Program a "0" to indicate the end of the account code.
LOCATION 052: PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATOR FORMAT FOR THE PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER
Location 052 contains the communicator format used to transmit to the receiver connected to the primary phone
number. Consult the instructions for your central station receiver to determine which format is compatible. To select
Ademco/Silent Knight F st, program a "2" in location 052. Sesco /Fr nklin F st requires a "4" in this location, and
R dionics 1800HZ/2300HZ F st with P rity nd Hex C p bility requires a "9" in this location. If you need another
format, choose from those listed on the format table located on page 13 and program the data in location 052. If this
location contains a "0", the built-in communicator will be disabled, and the Ranger 8980 will function as a local only
control.
LOCATION 053: DISABLING THE SECONDARY TELEPHONE NUMBER AS A BACKUP
Location 053 is used to disable the secondary phone number as a "backup". This feature can be used with split
reporting (locations 176-177) to prevent a report from going to the secondary telephone number after unsuccessful
attempts to the primary phone number. If location 053 contains a "0", the secondary phone number will backup the
primary, and the primary phone number will backup the secondary. If location 053 contains a "1", only the primary
phone number will be called.
LOCATIONS 054-069: PROGRAMMING THE SECONDARY TELEPHONE NUMBER (SPLIT REPORTING)
Locations 054-069 contain the secondary telephone number. This number allows certain communicator reports to go
to another number (split reporting), or to cause the communicator to dial a second number if the primary number does
not respond after the number of attempts programmed into location 134 have been tried unsuccessfully. The same
number of attempts are made with the back-up number. Tone dialing and delay instructions are the same as for the
primary number.
LOCATIONS 070-073: PROGRAMMING THE ACCOUNT CODE FOR THE SECONDARY PHONE NUMBER
Locations 070-073 contain the account code for the secondary phone number. Any zero (0) within the account code
must be programmed as a "10", and the communicator will report a zero (0). If the account code is three digits long,
use locations 070, 071, and 072. Program a "0" to indicate the end of the account code. If these locations are left
blank, the account code in locations 048-051 will be reported.

9
LOCATION 074: PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATOR FORMAT FOR THE SECONDARY TELEPHONE NUMBER
Location 074 contains the communicator format for the secondary phone number. Consult the instructions for your
central station receiver to determine which format is compatible. To select Ademco/Silent Knight Fast, program a "2" in
this location. Sescoa/Franklin Fast requires a "4" in this location, and Radionics 1800HZ/2300HZ Fast with parity and
hex capability requires a "9" in this location. If you need another format, choose from those listed in the format table
below, and program the appropriate data in this location. If location 074 is "0", the format programmed in location 052
will be used.

AC failure mode should be programmed in locations 120-121. If both locations are "0", AC power failures will not be
reported. Location 120 contains the standard digit, and location 121 contains the extended digit. When using 4+2
format, the number programmed in location 120 is sent as the "ones" digit. The "tens" digit is programmed in location
121.
LOCATION 122-123: PROGRAMMING TO REPORT LOW BATTERY
The Ranger 8980 has the ability to report a low battery code when AC power has been lost and the battery has
discharged down to 10.3 volts. The desired low battery code is programmed in locations 122-123. If both locations are
"0", low battery will not be reported. Location 122 contains the standard digit, and location 123 contains the extended
digit. When using 4+2 format, the number programmed in location 122 is sent as the "ones" digit. The "tens" digit is
programmed in location 123.
LOCATION 124: PROGRAMMING FOR PRIORITY ZONE TROUBLE REPORTING
The Ranger 8980 has the ability to report a trouble code each time a Priority zone opens. The desired trouble code is
programmed in location 124. If this location contains a "0", the Priority Trouble will not be reported.
LOCATION 125: PROGRAMMING FOR ZONE BYPASS REPORTING
The Ranger 8980 has the ability to report a bypass on zones 1-8. The desired bypass code is programmed in location
125. If this location contains a "0", zone bypass will not be reported. When using 4+2 format, the number programmed
in this location is sent as the "tens" digit. The "ones" digit is the zone communicator code. The bypass will be reported
at the end of the exit delay for non-24 hour zones. 24 hour zones will report a bypass immediately. When a bypass is
removed, a restore will be reported if "Restore" is enabled in location 126.
LOCATION 126: PROGRAMMING THE COMMUNICATOR CODE FOR RESTORAL
Location 126 contains the communicator code that will be sent for restoral of a zone. If this location contains a "0", no
restorals will be reported. If a restoral code is programmed and an extended format is selected, the restorals will be
reported by zone. If a restoral code is programmed and an extended format is not selected, a restoral code will be sent
when all of the previously reported conditions have restored. When using 4+2 format, the number programmed in this
location is sent as the first, or "tens" digit. The second, or "ones" digit will be the "ones" digit of the zone or condition
that restored.
LOCATION 127: PROGRAMMING THE COMMUNICATOR CODE FOR CANCEL (EXCEPTION OPENING)
Location 127 contains the communicator code that will be sent for cancel. The cancel code programmed in this
location will be sent if an arm/disarm code is entered after a trip on zones 1 through 8 has been reported (excluding 24
hour zones). After a cancel has been reported, no loop restorals will be transmitted on non-24 Hour zones. If this
location contains a "0", cancel is disabled. When using 4+2 format, the number programmed in this location is sent as
the "tens" digit. The "ones" digit is the man number of the person that cancelled. When using a remote arming input,
the man number is 1.
LOCATION 128: PROGRAMMING THE COMMUNICATOR TO ABORT
Location 128 is used to enable the communicator abort. A "1" in this location will cause the Ranger 8980 to abort the
report of a trip on any non-24 hour zone, if an arm/disarm code is entered prior to central station connection. If this
location contains a "0", the Ranger 8980 will not abort any reports.
LOCATION 129: PROGRAMMING FOR SILENT PANIC/HOLD-UP
Location 129 is used to silence the audible output for a panic/hold-up alarm. Programming a "1" in this location will
silence the audible output during a panic/hold-up alarm. If this location contains a "0", the Ranger 8980 will have an
audible panic/hold-up output.

15
LOCATION 130: ENABLING THE SWINGER SHUTDOWN
Location 130 is used to enable the burglary zone swinger shutdown. The number programmed in this location will
determine the number of trips the Ranger 8980 will allow, before bypassing all burglary zones (1-8) which have tripped
during an arming cycle. The bypassed zones will not report trips to a central station, and the local siren or bell will not
sound for these zones. A zone trip will not be added to the number count until after the zone has tripped more than
once. If this location contains a "0", this feature is disabled. A zone which has been bypassed by this feature will be
reported if bypass reporting is enabled in location 125. NOTE: If Immedi te Restore By Zone is en bled in
Loc tion 137, multiple reports m y be tr nsmitted during siren cycle without dding to the trip count.
LOCATION 131: AUTOMATIC BYPASS / INSTANT ARMING
Location 131 is used to enable automatic "Instant Arming". Programming a "1" in this location will cause the control to
automatically enter the "Instant" mode and bypass interior follower zones if a fault is not detected on an entry/exit zone
during the exit delay. Programming a "3" in this location (Automatic Bypass), will cause the interior follower zones to
become bypassed if a fault is not detected on an entry/exit zone, yet will not change the status of the entry/exit zone. If
this location contains a "0", these features are disabled. Pressing the [r] key when the system is armed, will cause the
"Instant" light to toggle. When the "Instant" light is on, the entry/exit zone is instant; when off, the entry/exit zone is
delayed. The [r] key will toggle the "Instant" mode regardless of the programming data in this location.
LOCATION 132: BUILT-IN SIREN DRIVER / 1 AMP VOLTAGE OUTPUT
The built-in siren driver has a steady sound (for Priority zone type), and a yelp sound (for Burglary and Panic). Factory
default is "0", enabling this feature. If the built-in siren driver is NOT to be used, take the following procedure. First,
remove the jumper marked voltage/siren on the PC board. Next, program a "1" in location 132. Finally, replace the
jumper in the voltage position. Terminals 21 & 22 will now output 1 Amp at 12VDC.
LOCATION 133: L.E.D. EXTINGUISH FEATURE
Keypad LEDs (excluding the A.C. LED) will be extinguished after 60 seconds of keypad inactivity, if a "1" is
programmed in location 133. The LEDs will become illuminated immediately upon a keypress or alarm condition.
LOCATION 134: ENTERING THE NUMBER OF DIAL ATTEMPTS
Location 134 is used to enter the number of dial attempts (1 to 15 attempts) the communicator will try for the
appropriate phone number(s) before ending the notification process. If this location contains an "8", the communicator
will make eight attempts to the first number, and then eight attempts to a second number, if a second number is
programmed as backup.
LOCATION 135: POWER UP CONDITION
If a "1" is programmed in location 135, the Ranger 8980 will power-up disarmed if there is a total power shutdown and
battery failure. If a "2" is programmed in this location, it will power up armed. If this location contains a "0", the Ranger
8980 will power up in the condition it was in at power down. A watchdog circuit reset will cause the Ranger 8980 to
reset to the selected condition.
LOCATION 136: POWER UP DELAY
If a "1" is programmed in location 136, the Ranger 8980 will not delay 60 seconds before accepting open or short
inputs from any zone. If a "0" is programmed, sensors on all zones are allowed 60 seconds to stabilize at power-up.
After 60 seconds, the Ranger will once again accept loop opens or shorts as an alarm condition. This 60-second
period will also be initiated after exiting the program mode, or a watchdog circuit reset condition.
LOCATION 137: IMMEDIATE RESTORE BY ZONE
If a "1" is programmed in location 137, restoral signals will follow the restore condition and report restores immediately
after the condition has unfaulted. A non-extended format will not send a restore message until all zones and trouble
conditions have restored. If this location contains a "0", the restore signal or signals will be reported only after siren
timeout.

16
LOCATION 138: NO ARMING WITH A ZONE BYPASSED
If a "1" is programmed in location 138, the Ranger 8980 will not arm with any zone bypassed. If programmed with a "0",
up to 7 of the 8 burglary zones can be bypassed, and the Ranger 8980 can still be armed. Program a A4" to disable
the chime feature.
LOCATION 139: PROGRAMMING THE QUICK ARM DIGIT
Location 139 contains the "Quick Arm" digit. To enable, program a digit (1-9) in this location. If the "Quick Arm" digit is
the same as the first digit of the Master code (user 1), the "Chime" feature will not function. The "Quick Arm" digit
cannot be the same as the first digit of the "Go To Program" code. Default is "0", disabled.
LOCATION 140: PRIORITY SIREN CUTOFF INHIBIT
If a "1" is programmed in location 140, a Priority zone type siren will sound continuously until an arm/disarm code is
entered. If this location contains a "0", the Priority zone type siren will shutdown after the amount of time programmed
in location 077 has elapsed. Programming in this location does not affect the burglary siren.
LOCATION 141: DOUBLE LINE EXTENDED ALARM REPORTING
If an extended format is selected in location 052, and a "1" is programmed in location 141, all reports will be double line
extended. If location 141 contains a "0", only non-alarm reports will be extended (restore, cancel, opening, closing,
bypass, and trouble). With this format, the central station will receive the report on two printed lines. The example
below shows a burglary report from zone 6 of account number 999. Zone 6 was programmed to report a 3.
LINE 1: 999 (ACCOUNT CODE) 3 (CODE)
LINE 2: 333 (ACCOUNT CODE) 6 (EXT CODE)
LOCATION 142: SIREN/BELL TEST FEATURE
Programming a "1" in location 142 will cause the siren/bell to come on each time the [1] and [7] keys are pressed
simultaneously. The siren/bell can be silenced with an arm/disarm code. The siren/bell test does not cause the
communicator to transmit a message.
LOCATION 143: RESETTABLE AUXILIARY POWER
Programming a "1" in location 143 will cause the 8980 (when in the disarmed state) to interrupt the smoke detector
power each time the [#] button is pressed. If this location contains a "0", the smoke detector power will reset only after
the [#] button is pressed when zone(s) designated as Priority zone types are on steady for alarm or blinking for trouble.
LOCATION 144: EUROPEAN PULSE DIAL RATIO
Programming a "1" in location 144 will change the pulse dialing make/break ratio and interdigit spacing to conform to
most European telecom standards.

17
LOCATION 145-148: PROGRAMMING THE AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
Four of the functions in the following table are available on terminals 1 thru 4. These outputs are often used to switch
small relays, LED's, trip long range radio, or to add a remote sensor. For example, to create an LED that
lights for alarm memory, program a "7" into location 145. Wire the positive lead of the LED to terminal 26 (positive aux
power) and the negative lead through a limiting resistor of approximately 650 ohms to PIN #1 (top pin) of the aux
output pin connector. If the LED operation is "ON" when you want it to be "OFF", see location 149. NOTE: NO MORE
THAN 20 MILLIAMPS CAN BE SUPPLIED FROM THESE TERMINALS.
