3.1.4 Changing Text Descriptions
Various parameters can have a text description defined. These include loop devices, zones, etc. The zone and
device text descriptions will be shown on the display in the Fire Alarm, Fault and Warning Conditions, etc. to
provide a quick and clear indication of the source of the problem.
To change the text description, first highlight the text description within the appropriate programming option and
then press the 5button. The display then changes to show the text entry dialogue screen. For example:
>RESTAURANT <
KEY IN THE REQUIRED TEXT
The method of entering the characters is similar to the method employed on mobile
telephones. The number buttons provide both their appropriate number and several
letters of the alphabet. An example of the keypad is shown opposite.
For example, Button 2 allows entry of the number 2 and letters A, B and C.
When a button is pressed, the number is first shown on the display at the current cursor
position. If the button is pressed again within ½ second, the first character replaces the
number. A further press displays the second available character and so on. After pressing
the button to obtain the required character, wait for 1-second and the character will be
entered and the cursor will move to the next character in the text description.
Pressing another button will immediately enter the previous character and move the
cursor on to the next character.
Use the ÍÎ buttons to move backwards or forwards along the line.
When the text description is as required, press the 5button to confirm the change.
If the text has been entered incorrectly, press the ‘Esc’ button to cancel all changes and return to the previous
display.
The following table shows the numbers, characters and symbols assigned to each button on the keypad.
