XR5FC/XR5SL Programming Guide
1 - INTRODUCTION
Introduction
1.1 Before You Begin
About this Guide
This guide provides programming information for the DMP XR5FC and XR5SL Command Processor
Panels. After this Introduction, the remaining sections describe the functions of each programming menu
item along with their available options. The XR5FC and XR5SL panels contain all of their programming
information in an on board processor and do not require an external programmer.
Reading the Contents
Before starting to program, we recommend you read through the contents of this guide. The information
contained here allows you to quickly learn the programming options and operational capabilities of the
XR5FC and XR5SL panels. In addition to this guide, you should also read and be familiar with the
following XR5FC and XR5SL documents:
• XR5FC and XR5SLUser's Guide (LT-0296)
• XR5FC and XR5SL Installation Guide (LT-0299)
• XR5FC and XR5SL Programming Sheet (LT-0297)
Programming Information Sheets
Included with each XR5FC and XR5SL panel is a Programming Information Sheet. This sheet lists the
various keypad prompts and available options for programming the panel. Before starting, we
recommend you completely fill out the programming sheet with the options you intend to enter into the
panel.
Having completed programming sheets available while entering data helps to prevent errors and can
shorten the length of time you spend programming. Completed sheets also provide you with an accurate
account of the panel's program you can keep on file for future system service or expansion.
The remainder of this Introduction tells you how to start and end an XR5FC/XR5SL programming session.
1.2 Getting Started
The XR5FC and XR5SL Command Processor panels must be completely installed before you begin
programming. Make sure the panels are properly grounded and the AC and battery wires are connected
to the correct panel terminals.
Initializing the Panel
When programming an XR5FC or XR5SL panel for the first time, use the Initialization function described
in section 2. Initializing clears the panel's memory of any old or incorrect data.
Program from any Keypad Address
You program the XR5FC and XR5SL panels from an alphanumeric keypad connected to the keypad data
bus. See the XR5FC and XR5SL Installation Guide (LT-0299) for keypad addressing and installation
information.
Accessing the Programmer
To access the programmer function of the XR5FC and XR5SL:
1. Place a slotted screwdriver across the two RESET jumpers for two seconds.
2. Remove the screwdriver.
3. Enter the code 6653 (PROG) into the keypad.
4. Enter your Lockout Code (if required).
5. The keypad displays: PROGRAMMER.
You are now ready to start programming the XR5FC and XR5SL panels. Press the COMMAND key to
scroll through the programming menu items listed in section 1.3.

sections 2 to 9 of this guide.
1.4 Programmer Lockout Codes
Although the XR5FC and XR5SL panels allow you to enter the built-in Programmer without a lockout
code, you may wish to install one to restrict programming access to only those persons your company
authorizes. You can do this by using the SET LOCKOUT CODE feature at the end of the programming
menu.
Installing a lockout code
1. After entering the Programmer menu, the keypad displays PROGRAMMER. Press the
COMMAND key to advance through the programming sections until SET LOCKOUT CODE is
displayed (after Stop).
2. Press any top row SELECT key. At the ENTER CODE: - display, enter a 3 to 5 digit programmer
lockout code. Press COMMAND.
3. The displays shows ENTER AGAIN. Enter the same lockout code again and press COMMAND.
The display shows CODE CHANGED. The new code number must now be entered before the
Programmer menu can be accessed.
The lockout code number should be written down and kept in a secure place with access limited to
authorized persons only.
Lost Lockout Code requires factory reset: If you lose or forget the lockout code, the panel must be
sent back to the factory to be reset. There is no field option for gaining access to the panel without a valid
lockout code.
1.5 Reset Timeout
The XR5FC and XR5SL has a feature that requires you to enter the Programmer within 30 minutes of
resetting the panel. After 30 minutes, if you attempt to program by entering the 6653 (PROG) code, the
keypad displays: RESET PANEL. You must reset the panel and enter the program code within the next
30 minutes.
If you are already in the Programmer and do not press any keys on the programming keypad for 30
minutes, the panel terminates programming. All data entered up to that point is saved in the panel's
memory.
To exit the panel's Programmer you must use the Stop routine.

The COMMAND key is also used to enter information into the panel's memory such as phone numbers or
zone names. Press the COMMAND key after you've entered the information and it is being displayed
correctly on the keypad.
ARROW Key
Use the ARROW key to back up one step while in the programming menu or within a programming
section. The ARROW key also allows you to correct an error by erasing the last character entered.
SELECT Keys
The top row of keys are called the SELECT keys. When the Programmer displays an option for you to
select, such as YES or NO, you press the SELECT key under the option you want to enable.
The SELECT keys also allow you to change programming information currently in the panel's memory. As
you step through each program option, the keypad displays the current information. To change this
information, press the appropriate key under the display then enter the new information through the
keypad.
If you are changing a phone number or account number, press the SELECT key followed by the
appropriate digit keys. If entering a communication type or choosing a programming option, the keypad
displays the available response options above the SELECT keys. When there are more than four
response options available, the keypad displays the first four. Pressing the COMMAND key brings up the
next 1 to 4 options on the display. Pressing the ARROW key allows you to review the previous four
choices.
The SELECT keys are also used for selecting a section from the programming menu. This is done by

3.14 FIRST TELEPHONE NUMBER - This is the first number the panel dials when
sending reports to this receiver. Phone numbers can be up to 15 characters in length.
You can program a three second pause in the dialing sequence by entering the letter
P. You can program a dial tone detect by entering the letter D. These characters are
counted as part of the 15 allowable characters.
3.15 SECOND TELEPHONE NUMBER - The panel dials the second number when two
successive tries using the first number have failed. If the panel cannot reach the
receiver after two attempts using the second number, it returns to the first number and
makes two additional attempts. A total of ten dialing attempts are made using the first
and second phone numbers. If a second phone number is not entered, the first phone
number is used for all dialing attempts.
Each number can be up to 15 characters in length including any P or D characters
entered for pause and dial tone detect.
About the panel's Recall Test time
Once you have finished programming, reset the panel. The Recall Test timer now begins and runs for
twelve hours. After twelve hours has elapsed, the Recall Test is sent to the receiver. Whatever time of

XR5FC/XR5SL Programming Guide
4.1 This section allows you to enter the information needed for Remote Command/Remote
Programming operation. A description of the Remote Options follow.
Funtional testing is required: A complete functional checkout of the panel is required following any
programming or reprogramming.
4.2 REMOTE KEY - This option allows you to enter a code of up to eight digits for use in
verifying the authority of an alarm or service receiver to perform a remote command/
programming session. The receiver must give the correct key to the panel before
being allowed access. All panels are shipped from the factory with the Remote Key
preset as blank.
To enter a new Remote Key, press a top row SELECT key and enter any combination
of up to eight digits. The numbers you enter appear as asterisks. Press COMMAND.
4.3 MANUFACTURER AUTHORIZATION - Enter YES to allow DMP service technicians
to access the panel when required during system service or troubleshooting.
This authorization automatically expires within one hour.
DMP remote service is provided on a read only basis: DMP technicians can look at the system
programming and make suggestions only.
4.4 ARMED RINGS - Enter the number of rings the panel counts within a two minute
period before answering the phone line. Any number from 1 to 15 can be entered. If
zero is entered, the panel does not answer the phone. If NONE is selected as the
Communication type, the ring detect function is disabled and the 984 Command
function must be used to seize the phone line. See section 10.4.
Answering machine bypass procedure: Entering a number greater than zero into Armed Rings allows
a central station operator to connect remotely with the panel.
How it works: The operator calls the panel, rings the phone once and then hangs up. The panel stores
this attempt to communicate. The operator then calls back within 30 seconds causing the panel to seize
the phone line and allow remote programming.
4.5 ALARM RECEIVER AUTHORIZATION - Enter YES to enable remote commands
and programming to be accepted from the alarm receiver. The Remote Key option can
also be required.
When YES is selected, the panel requests the alarm receiver key during its first
alarm communication with the first receiver. The panel retains this alarm receiver
key in memory and allows remote commands to be accepted from the alarm receiver.
If an alarm occurs during a remote connect, the alarm report is immediately sent to
this receiver only.
When NO is selected, remote commands and programming are not accepted from the
alarm receiver.
4.6 SERVICE RECEIVER AUTHORIZATION - YES enables remote commands and
programming to be accepted from a secondary service receiver other than the alarm
receiver. The Remote Key option can also be required.
With YES selected, the panel requests the service receiver key the first time it's
contacted by the service receiver. The panel retains this service receiver key in
memory and accepts remote commands from the service receiver.
If an alarm occurs during a remote connect, the panel disconnects from the service
receiver and calls the alarm receiver. Alarm reports are only sent to the alarm receiver.
It is important that the alarm receiver key and the service receiver key programmed
at the central station are NOT the same so the panel can determine the difference
between receivers.
When NO is selected remote commands and programming are not accepted from a
secondary service receiver.

in the operation of the XR5FC and XR5SL system.
A description of each System Option follows:
5.2 CROSS ZONE FAULT TIME - Enter the time allowed after a zone trips to indicate a
zone fault condition. When a zone programmed for cross zoning trips, the panel
begins counting down the Cross Zone Fault Time you enter here. If the same zone or
another zone trips within this time, or prior to a Sensor Reset, an alarm report is sent
to the receiver for both zones.
If the Cross Zone Fault Time expires without the second zone trip, a zone fault report
from the first zone is sent to the receiver.
The Cross Zone Fault Time can be set from 4 to 250 seconds in one second
increments. Enter zero to disable the Cross Zone Fault Time feature.
5.3 ZONE RETARD DELAY - Enter the time allowed for zones to be shorted before the
panel acknowledges the short as an alarm. This option is primarily used on waterflow
zones where fluctuations in the flowswitch may short the zone in the absence of an
actual alarm condition.
The Retard Delay can be set from 0 to 250 seconds in one second increments.
5.4 POWER FAIL DELAY - This option tracks the duration of an AC power failure. When
the AC power is off for the length of the programmed delay time, an AC power failure
report is sent to the receiver.
The delay time can be set from 6 to 12 hours.
5.5 RESET SWINGER BYPASS - When YES is selected, a swinger bypassed zone is
automatically reset if it remains in a normal condition for one hour after being
bypassed. A report of the reset is automatically sent to the receiver.

name. A name must be given to each zone in the system. This name can be displayed
at the keypads when the zone is bad or viewed in Display Events. The zone name is
also sent to the receiver as part of a zone event report.
A zone that is not part of the system must be marked *UNUSED*. To mark a zone
unused, delete the old name by pressing a top row SELECT key, then press the
COMMAND key. The programmer automatically programs the name as * UNUSED *.
If you selected DEFAULTS? NO YES to clear the panel's memory during Initialization,
the zones will already be marked * UNUSED *. See section 2.3.
7.4 ZONE TYPE - The Zone Type defines the panel's response to the zone being opened
or shorted. See the chart in section 7.7.
When you assign a Zone Type to a zone, responses are made automatically for the
zone. There are four Zone Types to choose from. The functional details of each
response are described in section 7.7.
To enter a new Zone Type, press a top row SELECT key. The display lists the four
Zone Types shown below.
Fire, Supervisory, Auxiliary 1, and Fire Verify. Press COMMAND to display additional
zone types.
Supervisory Type zones provide default zone names: If SV (Supervisory) is selected as the zone
type, SUPRVSRY n (n = zone number) is automatically stored as the 10-character zone name.
When the Zone Type you want to select is displayed, press the SELECT key beneath
its name. The chart in section 7.7 gives an outline of the Alarm Action for each Zone
Type.
Press COMMAND to continue.
Refer to the Appendix section in this guide for zone type descriptions.
7.5 NEXT ZONE - When YES is selected, the programming for the zone terminates and
the display returns to ZONE NO: - allowing you to enter a new zone number. To make
changes to the Alarm Action for a zone, answer the NEXT ZONE? prompt with NO.
The Alarm Action is then defined in sections 7.6 through 7.12.
7.6 ALARM ACTION - The Alarm Action section allows you to change or confirm the
default alarm characteristics of a zone type that was selected in section 7.4.
The Fire Verify zone type functions the same as Fire zone with the following
exceptions: When a Fire Verify zone is placed into shorted condition, the panel
performs a Sensor Reset and does not send a report. If any Fire Verify or Fire zone
initiates an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If an alarm
is initiated after 120 seconds, the cycle is repeated. If no other Fire Verify or Fire zone
is alarmed within 120 seconds, a zone fault report is sent to the receiver.

7.8 ARMED OPEN - Defines the action taken by the panel when the zone is placed into
an open condition. There are three actions to define:
Message to transmit Relay output to activate Relay output action
7.8A MESSAGE TO TRANSMIT - You can send two report types to the receiver: Alarm and
Trouble. These are represented by the characters A and T. Press any top row
SELECT key to display the zone's full reporting options.
ALARM - Selecting A, allows an alarm report to be sent to the receiver and the bell
output to activate according to zone type. See section 6.3, Bell Action. The zone name
appears in the panel's alarmed zones status lists.
TROUBLE - Selecting Tallows a trouble report to be sent to the receiver and the zone
name to appear in the panel's alarmed zones status lists.
You cannot change the Alarm (A) and Trouble (T) action for Fire (FI), Fire Verify (FV),
or Supervisory (SV) zone types.
LOCAL - When you select L, an alarm report is NOT sent to the receiver. The bell
output still activates according to zone type and the zone name appears in the panel's
alarmed zones status lists.
–(dash) - When you select –, reports are NOT sent to the receiver. The bell output
does not activate and there is no display in the panel's alarmed zones status list. Only
the Output Number selected in section 7.9B activates.
7.8B OUTPUT NUMBER - You can specify any of the outputs on the XR5FC or XR5SL to
be activated by a zone condition. The output can be activated regardless of the report
to transmit or whether or not the zone is programmed as local.
To enter an Output Number, press a top row SELECT key followed by the output
number 1 to 4. Press the COMMAND key.
7.8C OUTPUT ACTION - Entering an Output Number in section 7.8B displays this prompt
that allows you to assign an output action to the relay. A description of the available
output actions is given below:
STEADY - The output is turned on and remains on until the output cutoff time expires.
PULSE - The output alternates one second on and one second off until the output
cutoff time expires.
MOMENTARY - The output is turned on only once for one second.
FOLLOW - The output is turned on and remains on while the zone is in an off normal,
or bad condition. When the zone restores, the output is turned off.
After you've made the three selections in sections 7.8A through 7.8C, the display prompts you for the
same three selections for Armed Short conditions. When you've programmed all of the zone conditions,
the Swinger Bypass selection is then displayed.
7.9 SWINGER BYPASS - YES allows the zone to be bypassed by the panel after three
alarm, trouble, or local trips within one hour. Selecting NO disables swinger bypassing
for this zone.
After the first trip, if the zone does not trip 2 more times within an hour, the bypass trip
counter returns to zero and the zone must trip a full 3 times within a subsequent hour
to be automatically bypassed.
A report of the swinger bypass is automatically sent to the receiver. Keypads on the
system will display the zone name followed by – BYPAS until a Sensor Reset is
performed or the zone is automatically reset if Reset Swinger Bypass is enabled.

XR5FC/XR5SL Programming Guide
7.10 ZONE RETARD - When you select YES, the zone operates with the Retard Delay you
specified in section 5.3. This retard functions only in zone short conditions.
The zone must remain shorted for the full length of the Retard Delay before the panel
recognizes its condition. If you select NO, the zone operates without a Retard Delay.
7.11 CROSS ZONE - Select YES to enable cross zoning for this zone. Cross zoning
requires this zone to trip twice, or this zone and another cross zoned zone to trip prior
to a Sensor Reset, before an alarm report is sent to the receiver.
How it works
When a zone programmed for cross zoning trips, the Bell and Output action assigned
to the zone activates and the Cross Zone Fault Time specified in System Options
begins to count down. See sections 6.3 and 5.2. If the same zone or another zone
programmed for cross zoning trips within this time, or prior to a Sensor Reset, an
alarm report is sent to the receiver for both zones.
If no other zone programmed for cross zoning trips before the cross zone fault time
expires, the panel sends a fault report for the zone to the receiver. This fault report
does not inhibit a second zone from tripping and generating an alarm prior to the next
Sensor Reset.
If the the zone programmed for cross zoning trips and then restores and trips again,
the panel sends an alarm report for that zone only.
Cross zoning is not selectable on Fire Verify zone types:
7.12 ZONE NUMBER - Enter the zone number you want to program next. Return to section
7.1 and follow the descriptions of each programming prompt. If all zones are
programmed, press the ARROW key at the ZONE NO: – display to continue.
8.1 At the STOP prompt, pressing any SELECT key allows you to exit the programmer
function of the XR5FC or XR5SL panel. When selected, the panel performs an internal
reset and exits the programmer.
The Stop function clears the panel's Status List.
During the Stop function, all keypad displays are momentarily blank for two seconds.
Afterwards, the programming function is terminated and the keypads return to the
Status List display.
9.1 SET LOCKOUT CODE - Pressing COMMAND at the STOP prompt displays SET
LOCKOUT CODE. This feature allows you to program a special code that will then be
required to gain access to the panel's internal Programmer through the keypad.
Changing the Lockout Code
You can change this code at any time to any combination of numbers from 3 to 5 digits
long (100 to 65535).
1. Press a SELECT key. The display changes to ENTER CODE: -.
2. Enter a 3 to 5 digit code (do not enter a number higher than 65535). Press
COMMAND.
3. Enter the new Lockout Code again. Press COMMAND. The keypad display
changes to CODE CHANGED.
Once you have changed the code, it is important that you write it down somewhere
and store it in a safe place. Lost lockout codes require the panel to be sent back into
DMP for repair.

10.1 Appendix
This section provides additional zone and system information.
10.2 Keypad Status List
The Status List is the current status of the system or records of recent system events that are displayed
on the alphanumeric keypads.
If an event occurs on the system, such as an AC failure, the keypad displays the AC POWER -TRBL
message. This is a system event that is placed into the Status List to alert the user to a problem.
Some Status List items remain in the display until manually cleared and some are cleared automatically
when the condition returns to normal. Below is a complete list of status and event displays the keypad
can show in the Status List:
Description Must be manually cleared?
Fire and Supervisory zone alarms Yes - by Sensor Reset
Fire and Supervisory zone troubles No - clears when zone restores
All other zone alarms No - clears when zone restores
System monitor troubles No - clears when condition restores
(AC and battery trouble)
Zone bypasses No - clears at Sensor Reset or Reset Swinger Bypass
Remote keypad messages No
(Sent to the keypad by your office or central station)
Each item in the list is displayed for four seconds. When there are multiple items in the list, you can use
the COMMAND or ARROW keys to scroll forward or back through the items.
If there are no items in the Status List, the keypad display shows SYSTEM NORMAL.
10.3 Zone type descriptions
This section describes applications for the default zone types in Zone Information programming.
FI (Fire zone) - Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications are
for smoke detectors, sprinkler flowswitches, manual pull stations, and beam detectors. Cross zoning is
compatible with the Fire zone type.
SV (Supervisory zone) - Used to provide 24-hour zone supervision to devices associated with fire
systems. Typical applications are tamper switches on Post Indicator Valves (PIVs), gate valves, and low
and high temperature gauges.
A1 (Auxiliary 1) - These zones allow you to customize the operation for peripheral fire pretection devices.
FV (Fire Verify zone) - Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual fire
condition. When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a Fire Reset. If any Fire zone
initiates an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If an alarm is initiated after 120
seconds, the cycle is repeated.

10.4 Manual telephone line seizure
This feature allows you to connect with a remote receiver either by having the panel pick up the phone
line while the receiver is ringing the line or by entering a phone number for the panel to dial. This feature
is primarily used when bringing a new account online as it allows your office or the central station to
connect to the panel and upload a custom program.
How it works
While the panel is in the Status List, press the numbers 984 and then the COMMAND key. The keypad
display changes to NBR PICKUP.
NBR
Press the SELECT key under NBR to enter a phone number for the panel to dial. Press each number key
slowly and deliberately. The panel dials each number as it is pressed. If you make an mistake, press the
ARROW key. The panel will stop dialing and return to the NBR PICKUP display.
You can enter up to 15 characters for the phone number. To enter a # (pound sign) or * (asterisk) press
the 0 (zero) key and third SELECT key (pound) or the fourth SELECT key (asterisk).
The panel makes ten attempts to reach the receiver. If while attempting to contact the receiver, the panel
needs to send an alarm report, the dialing attempts stop and the panel uses the line to send its report.
PICKUP
The panel immediately seizes the phone line and sends a carrier tone to the receiver.
10.5 2-button Panic keys
The XR5FC and XR5SL panels support the 2-button Fire (flame icon) feature on the 670 and 690 series
Security Command keypads and the 692F LED keypad. Pressing the two SELECT keys above the flame
icon sends a zone 39 Fire alarm to the central station receiver.
10.6 Walk Test
The XR5FC and XR5SL panels also provide a walk test feature that allows a single technician to test the
protection devices connected to zones on the system. To conduct the Walk Test:
From an alphanumeric keypad
1. From the keypad, enter the code 8144. If monitored, the system sends a System Test Begin report to the
central station. The keypad then displays WALK TEST for 4 seconds followed by TRIPS: X X X END.
The " X X X " in the example display is the number of trips that occurs during the Walk Test.
2. Once in the Walk Test, you can go around and trip each protection device. As each device is tripped,
the panel sounds the alarm bells for two seconds and then performs an automatic Sensor Reset.
Continue tripping devices until the entire system has been tested. The trip counter on the keypad
display increments by one each time a device is opened or shorted
3. To end the test, press the SELECT key under END. The panel sends a System Test End to the
central station and performs a final Sensor Reset. At the end of the test, the keypad displays any
zones that failed to trip. Below are two examples:
Keypad display: SOUTH SMOK –FAIL Keypad display: LOBBY HEAT –FAIL
From an the 692F LED keypad
1. From the keypad, enter the code 8144. If monitored, the system sends a System Test Begin report to
the central station. The bottom row of zone LEDs (yellow) begin to pulse.
2. Once in the Walk Test, you can go around and trip each protection device. As a device is tripped, the
zone alarm LED on the keypad turns on, the panel sounds the alarm bells for two seconds, and the
panel performs an automatic Sensor Reset. The alarm LED stays on for the duration of the Walk Test.
Continue tripping devices until the entire system has been tested.
3. To end the test, press the RESET key and enter the user code or press COMMAND + 4 + 7. The panel
sends a System Test End to the central station.
