INTRODUCTION 1
Introduction
The Model 8720 Device Programming Unit is used to
program and test detectors and devices for MPC-1000/
MPC-1500 and MPC-6000/MPC-7000 systems. In an
MPC-6000/MPC-7000 installation, the 8720 may be
used to check wiring loops for ground faults and short
circuits as well as to check communication of the
installed devices by displaying the device types and
addresses of all devices on the loop.
A detector base is integrated into the body of the 8720
for programming intelligent detectors.The 8720 operates
from the external power supply or internal batteries.The
batteries may be either rechargeable or off-the-shelf non-
rechargeable batteries that are located in an easily
accessible battery compartment.The 8720 is supplied
with a carrying strap, six nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries, cables, banana plug to alligator clip adaptors,
and an external power supply. Optional accessories are
the 8721 small case and the 8722 large case with label
printer.
A 4-line by 20-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with
adjustable backlighting is incorporated in the 8720. In
addition to the numerical keypad, the 8720 has four
function buttons, two on each side of the display, which
make operation simple and straightforward.

When the 8722 optional label printer is used, the 8720
may be configured to print multiple labels for each
address.This can be done as each of the devices is
programmed or in a batch printing mode.
General Description and Features
Controls and Indicators
The 8720 Controls and Indicators consists of the Display,
Keypad, Power Switch, External Power/Battery Charging
Connector, and Batteries and Battery Selection Switch.
Display The display is a four line by 20 character Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD).The display characters are variable in
intensity. Variable backlighting is provided to enable
viewing in darkened conditions. Two push button
switches are located on each side of the display. These
switches are used to select menu items on the display.
Keypad The keypad is a 12-button alphanumeric keypad with
digits 0 through 9, the letter C and a blank key.The “C”
key adjusts the LCD and Backlighting display from the
Main Menu. The blank key is nonfunctional at this time.
Power Switch The push button power switch is located on the left side
of the 8720. Pressing the Power Switch once turns the
8720 ON; pressing the Power Switch a second time
turns the 8720 OFF.
If the 8720 is operating from batteries and no input is
made for two minutes, it will go into a Power Conserva-
tion or Sleep Mode. When in the Sleep Mode any keypad
entry will Wake or return the 8720 to full operational
status without loss of any data previously entered. If an
entry is not made within five minutes of the 8720 going
into the Sleep Mode, it will power off. Once powered off,
any data previously entered in the 8720 will be lost.

External Power
Prior to applying external power, verify that the
Battery Selection Switch is in the correct position
for the type of battery that is installed in the 8720.
The Battery Selection Switch is located in the
battery compartment in the bottom rear of the 8720.
The External Power/Battery Charging connector is
located on the left-hand side of the 8720. The external
power cable is attached to an AC Power Adaptor that
plugs into any 115 VAC power outlet.
Batteries and Battery Selection Switch
The 8720 battery compartment is located on the bottom
rear of the 8720. It will accept either six Alkaline AA or
six Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA batteries.
Charging Alkaline batteries may damage the 8720
and could cause personal injury.
Inside the battery compartment is a Battery Selection
Switch. (Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch.)
This switch must be set to the type of battery being
used. Setting the switch in the NiMH position enables
the batteries to be charged when external power is
applied. Setting the switch in the Alkaline position
disables the batteries from being charged when external
power is applied. Attempting to charge Alkaline batteries
may damage the batteries or 8720.
The 8720 is designed to last for a full day or 4 continuous
hours on a single charge.
When the batteries are at 20%, the user will be
prompted with the display “BATTERIES ARE AT 20%
RECHARGE OR REPLACE”. When the batteries are low,

the user will be presented with the display “BATTERY
POWER LOW PLUG IN CHARGER”. This display will be
presented to the user until the charger is plugged in or the
batteries are replaced.
Do not apply physical shock to batteries.
Do not use old and new, chargeable and unchargeable,
charged and uncharged batteries or batteries of
different capacities/kinds/brands mixed together.
When charging NiMH batteries, charge all six batter-
ies at the same time.
Charge NiMH batteries before using them for the
first time or after not using them for a long time.
Do not load the batteries in the opposite direction to
that shown in these instructions.
Getting Started
There are just a few steps that are necessary before you
are ready to start programming devices and detectors
using the 8720.
• Remove the battery separator strip before using the
8720 by pulling the strip down and out of the
battery compartment.
• If the 8720 is to be operated from batteries, make
certain that six charged AA batteries are inserted
correctly in the battery compartment.
• If the 8720 is to be operated from AC, connect the
external power supply to the connector provided on
the 8720 and then connect it to the wall outlet.
