Programming from the Control panel 9
Chapter 2 Programming from the Control panel
The Prime system has been especially designed to be programmed either from a keypad
(using one of the keypads connected to the control panel) or from a PC via Prime/STUDIO
software.
All the options, functions and parameters of the Prime control panel must be programmed by
qualified persons only.
The control panels are programmed at the factory with almost ready-to-go settings (“default
settings”) which require only minor changes during the system customization phase. For
example, all the zones, keypads and readers are assigned to (belong to) partition 1, alarm and
tamper events related to partition 1 activate the relay output which is monostable set at 3
minutes (Monostable time = 3 minutes), etc.
LIMITATIONS All the parameters and programming data can be set via keypad or PC (equipped with the
Prime/STUDIO software) with the following limitations.
• From the keypad you cannot program:
•• timer exceptions
•• input calibration
•• BUS speed
•• description of Emergency keys
•• Ethernet communication parameters
•• PrimeLAN board parameters
•• GPRS, GSM and 3G communication parameters
•• Nexus communicator parameters
•• sounder/flasher tone
•• I-BUS Ivy-B parameters
•• Air2-Hedera wireless sounder/flasher parameters
•• programmable events
•• shortcut on event
•• output scenarios
•• configuration of cameras
•• configuration of graphic maps
• via the Prime/STUDIO software you cannot program:
•• DTMF sensitivity
•• the second Installer code
•• the installer code PINs
•• the shortcut descriptions
•• Air2-BS200 transceiver channel
•• calibration of the temperature read by the keypad thermometer
2-1
Programming via keypad
The programming of the control panel via one of the Prime system keypads can be carried out
only after a valid access to the installer menu.
If you wish to program the system via the installer menu from a keypad and thus read/write
the control panel parameters, you must:
1. Disarm all the control panel partitions.
2. Type-in the installer code Pin on a keypad then press
OK .
If you are working on an Alien keypad, you must first access the “Settings” section ,
type in the user code and access the “Installer section” then enter the Installer code.
Note The PIN is “9999” at default.

10 Programming from the Control panel
Centrali anti-intrusione
3. The system will allow access to installer menu only after the entry of a valid PIN.
Once access to the installer menu is achieved, the system will:
• Block all system keypads except the one you are using.
• Broadcast the “PROGRAMMING” message to all the keypads.
• Force all the system keypads to standby status.
• Bring the call queue and events log to a temporary standstill, thus there will be no events
saved to the log, no outputs activated and no outgoing calls.
To exit the installer menu, press
Esc or C until the system asks: “EXIT? OK = YES”, therefore
press
OK .
Once you exit the installer menu, the control panel will:
• Apply all the new settings and values.
• Restore the I-BUS, reprogramme and make all the peripherals fully operational.
• Restore the call queue, and events log to normal operations.
2-2
Programming via Prime/
STUDIO software
For a description of the Prime/STUDIO software and the instructions on how to use it, refer to
the software manual.
Programming of certain parameters (concerning, for example, zones and outputs) via the
Prime/STUDIO software is possible only when the entire project of the system has been
completed.
1. Open a system solution (
Open button on menu).
2. First select the element to be programmed using the buttons on the left and then cus-
tomize the programming parameters in the relevant section that appears on the right.
3. Connect your computer to the system.
4. Write the data on the control panel by clicking on the
Write button.
Note If an error occurs during the writing phase, you must repeat the operation. Any data currently on the
control panel will be overwritten.
5. If required, save the solution ( Save button) or print the details ( Print button).
EXIT? OK = YES
