Press [

∗

] + [Field Number], followed by the required entry.

When the desired field number appears, simply make the required entry. When the last
entry for a field is entered, the keypad beeps three times and automatically displays the
next data field in sequence.
If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum
digits available (for example, the phone number fields *41, *42), enter the desired data,
then press [

∗

] and the next data field number to be programmed to end the entry.

Press [#] + [Field Number].
Data will be displayed for that field number. No changes will be accepted in this mode.

56 Zone Programming

Zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for 5800
RF transmitters.

✱

57 Function Key Programming

Unlabeled keypad keys (known as ABCD keys) for special functions

✱

58 Zone Programming

Same options as *56 mode, but with fewer prompts. Intended for those familiar with

(Expert mode)

this type of programming, otherwise *56 mode is recommended.

✱

79 Output Device Mapping

Assign module addresses and map individual relays/powerline carrier devices

✱

80 Output Programming

4229 or 4204 Relay modules, Powerline Carrier devices, or on-board triggers

✱

81 Zone List Programming

Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier activation, chime zones, pager zones, etc.

✱

82 Alpha Programming

Zone alpha descriptors

✱

96 Initializes download ID and subscriber account number.

✱

97 Sets all data fields to original factory default values.

✱

98 Exits programming mode and 

prevents  re-entry by:  Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0. To reenter the programming mode,

the system must be powered down, then powered up, then press both [

✱

] and [#] at same time within 50 seconds

of powering up (method 1 described above), UNLESS  Local Lockout (in field *91) is enabled.  If so, re-entry to
programming mode is permitted 

only by Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0 (method 2 described above).

✱

99 Exits programming mode and 

allows  re-entry by: Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0 or method 1 above.

OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between Keypad and Control).

EE or ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered;  re-enter valid field number).

After powering up, AC, dI (disabled) or Busy Standby and NOT READY will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds.
This will revert to a “Ready” message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can bypass this
delay by pressing [#] + [0].

If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. Correct the programming
and then completely de-power and re-power the control to clear this indication and remove the disable indication.
