Chap 4. Programming Options
CAPTAIN-i is supplied with pre-programmed default parameters (see section “0” on page
44). In general, for a standard installation, there is no need to change these parameters,
except for those that are user-specific, such as telephone numbers. Some of the default
parameters are:
♦Zone #1 delayed
♦Zone #2 entry delay
♦Entrance delay of 20 seconds and exit delay of 60 seconds
Default parameters can be changed in one of 4 ways:
1. Manual programming using the LCD keypad;
2. Quick loading from the PRG-22 programmer, which connects to an
RXN-400/410 keypad and lets you program one of four different, predefined
parameter groups;
3. COMAX Up/Download remote programming with a PC and modem;
4. Local loading with a computer and COMAX.
4.1 Remote Programming with COMAX
The CAPTAIN-i can be programmed remotely via a telephone line using PIMA’s COMAX
software.
COMAX is upload/download & control software and it enables programming of all
parameters, memory check, arming, disarming, etc. A complete description and
explanations are in the COMAX separate guide.
4.2 PRG-22: Local Programmer
This type of programming can be done only via the installer menu and an LCD Keypad.
Connect the PRG-22 to the designated connector according to the following drawing. In
RXN-400/410 LCD keypad models the RJ-11 connector is internal, on the PCB’s upper
left side.
IMPORTANT! Do not connect the PRG-22 to a LED keypad. It may damage the
