entered, press F10 to ADD the data to memory. The printer will log the addition, and the
display will now ask for the number of the next zone to which “User Text” is to be added.
Continue in this manner until all zone messages have been added. Each zone may have up to
ninepages. Aseachpageisadded thetotalnumberofpagesused increasesby1. Tochange
the PRIORITY level, press the ESC key once prior to entering the next zone number.
To exit the ADD zone mode, depress the ESC key twice.
NOTE: The first line of page 1 is the text that prints out on the thermal printer when the
zone goes into an ALARM condition, so it is important to make this first line as
descriptive as possible; for example: “FIRE STAIRS EAST” or “BURG CUST
#12345.” Itis not necessarytoinclude the zonenumber in thefirstline, since this
information will automatically be printed under the first line message, and on the
bottom line of the four-line display. The first line message will appear on line two
of the printer when the zone is secured.

4.3. USER TEXT TYPES
Therearetwotypesofusertextmessages: ZONESPECIFICandGENERIC. Thezonespecific
type allows you to enter up to nine screens of information to describe a specific zone. The zone
may be a direct wire connection (i.e., EOL, RPI or DCI), a TELEGRAPH box, or a zone from a
multiplex panel. The generic type allows you to enter up to nine pages of information to describe
the general location of a multiplex panel location, or the location of a Digital Dialer. Please note
that a direct wire zone cannot have a generic message, only a zone specific message.
The SYSTEM 3000 identifies a zone specific or generic message by its zone number. The
following are examples of generic and zone specific numbers.
GENERIC ZONE SPECIFIC
23- 23-1
3- 3-23
23
128-05-32
Asyoucansee,genericmessagesalwaysend with a “-”. Zone specific messagesmayneverend
with a “-” but can contain a “-” within the zone. If the zone specific number contains a “-”, then
it can also have a generic message. A zone specific message that does not contain a “-” may not
have a generic message. For example, direct wire zone 23 cannot have a generic message. The
SYSTEM3000willnot associate genericmessage23-withdirect wire zonespecificmessage23.
Generic messages provide the following advantage when programming messages. For a DGM
(number 23) with 16 zones, you will enter, at a minimum, 16 screens of zone specific information
(one for each zone, expandable to nine for each zone). For example, you will enter a message for
DGM 23-1, 23-2, 23-3 .... through 23-16. If the system only provided for zone specific messages
you would have to enter the location of the DGM 16 times, i.e., Joe’s Hardware, 21 Elm St, Mr.
Woods 555-1212. The Generic message allows you to enter the location of the DGM one time as
23-. The SYSTEM 3000 will combine the generic and zone specific messages as required.
As an illustration, the following text messages are associated with DGM 23-5:
