 MECHANICS OF PROGRAMMING

This section provides information on how programming is performed in this

system. It will enable you to understand how to enter and exit the programming
mode, and how to program the data fields and the user-friendly interactive menu
modes ( ✱56, ✱ 80, ✱ 81, ✱ 82, ✱ 83). We therefore urge you to read and understand
the following before proceeding with any programming.

The following program fields must be programmed (as required) before doing
any programming.
✱ 22. RF SYSTEM
✱ 25. OUTPUT RELAY MODULE
See Programming System Setup Fields on next page.

General Programming Information

Characteristics for each installation are stored in non-removable, electrically
erasable, non-volatile EEROM memory. These must be programmed for the
particular instal lation to establish its specific alarm and reporting features.
It is possible to program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises
prior to the actual installation. Simply apply power temporarily to the control
and then program the unit as desired.
Note: You cannot enter the programming mode unless the system is
disarmed.
There are two programming modes: data field programming and interactive
menu mode programming. Data field programming is used for setting various
system options and menu mode programming is used for programming zone
information, programming relay outputs, and for entering 5800 series
transmitter serial numbers.
To program the system, you must use an FA550KP 2-line Alpha keypad
connected to the keypad terminals on the control (4, 5, 6, & 7). The Alpha
keypad need not necessarily remain in the system after programming.

Programming can also be performed remotely from the installerÕs office/home,

using an IBM personal computer, a modem, and appropriate downloading
software. See the REMOTE PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL
(DOWNLOADING) section in this manual.
Entering the Program Mode
You may use one of the following methods:
(a) Press both the [ ✱] and [#] keys at the same time within 50 seconds after
power is applied to the Control, or
(b) After power up, enter the INSTALLER code (4 1 1 1) + 8 + 0.
Method (b) is disabled if you exit the program mode using ✱ 98 instead of
✱99. See ÒExiting the Program ModeÓ paragraph later in this section.
If a different INSTALLER code is subsequently pro grammed, use it instead
of 4111 to gain access to the Programming mode.
Following entry into the program mode, data field ✱20 will be dis played (this is
the first field in the system). The system will now accept en tries for field ✱ 20.
You can then proceed with the required programming (see the next paragraph
ÒProgramminng a Data FieldÓ).

Programming a Data Field

1. Press [ ✱] plus Field No. (for example, ✱21), then make the desired entry.
2. When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad will ÒbeepÓ
three times and then automatically display the next data field in sequence.
To go to a different field, press [✱] plus the desired field No.

–7–
 3. If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the
maximum digits available (for ex ample, the phone number field), enter the
desired data, then press ✱ and the next data field number to be programmed.
4. If you try to enter a non-existent field, an Alpha keypad will display NOT
USED and EE (Entry Error). Simply key [✱ ] again plus a valid field number.

Reviewing a Data Field/Erasing an Entry in a Data Field

Press [#] plus Field No. Data will be displayed for that field number. N o
changes will be accepted in this mode.
To delete an entry in a field, press [ ✱] plus Field No. + [✱]. ( Applies only to
fields ✱40 Ð ✱ 42, and ✱94.)
Interactive Menu Mode Programming ( ✱56, ✱80, ✱81, ✱82 and ✱83)

Typical prompt displayed Press [ ✱] plus menu mode No. (for example, ✱ 56). The Alpha keypad will
during interactive menu display the first of a series of prompts requesting entries.

Loading Factory Defaults ( ✱97)

To load the factory defaults, enter the programming mode, press ✱ 97, then exit
the programming mode.
Do not press ✱ 97 to load defaults if any programming has been done
previouslyÑdata already programmed into the system will be changed!

✱96 resets the Subscriber Account number and CSID in preparation for an
initial download.
Programming System Setup Fields

The following program fields MUST be programmed before doing any

programming.
✱22 RF SYSTEMÊÊÊ(Default is 0).
Enter Ò1Ó if 5700 RF system type is being used; enter Ò2Ó if a 5800
RF system type is being used; enter Ò0Ó if no RF is being used.
✱25 WIRED EXPANSION/OUTPUT RELAYÊÊ(Default is 0).
Enter Ò1Ó if a 4219 wired expansion unit is used, Ò2Ó if a 4229 wired
expansion/ relay unit is used, Ò3Ó if a 4204 relay is being used, or
Ò0Ó if none are being used.

Exiting the Programming Mode

✱98 EXITS PROGRAMMING MODE and prevents re-entry by Installer
Code + [Code] + [0] . To enter the programming mode if ✱98 was used to
exit, you must first power the system down. Then power up again, and
press [ ✱] and [#] both at once, within 50 seconds of powering up.
✱99 EXITS PROGRAMMING MODE and allows re-entry by:
Installer Code + [Code] + [0] or by:
Pressing [ ✱] and [#] at the same time, within 50 seconds of powering up
the system.

 5800 Series Transmitter Input Loop Identification
¥ All of the transmitters illustrated below have one or more unique factory assigned input (loop) ID codes.
Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four programming
zones).
¥ Transmitter inputs entered as:
"RF" (Supervised RF) Type send periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore and low battery
signals. The transmitter must remain within the receiver's range.
ÒUR" (Unsupervised RF) Type send all the signals that the "RF" Type does, but the control does
not supervise the check-in signals. The transmitter may, therefore, be carried off-premises.
"BR" (Unsupervised Button RF) Type only send fault signals. Restore or check-in signals are not
sent, but low battery signals are sent when a button is pressed. The transmitter may be car ried off-
premises. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.

 ZONE RESPONSE TYPE DEFINITIONS

Type 00 Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used.
Zone Not Used
Type 01 This zone type provides entry delay whenever the zone is faulted if the control
Entry/Exit Burglary is armed in the AWAY or STAY modes. When the panel is armed in the
Instant or Maximum modes, no entry delay is provided. Exit delay begins
whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected. These
delays are programmable. This zone type is usually assigned to sensors or
contacts on doors through which primary entry and exit will take place.
Type 02 Not used in this system
Type 03 This zone type gives an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is
Perimeter Burglary armed in the AWAY, STAY, INSTANT or MAXIMUM modes. This zone type
is usually assigned to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.
Type 04 This zone type is active when the panel is armed in the AWAY or MAXIMUM
Interior, Follower modes. Entry delay (using the programmed entry time) results if the panel is
armed in the AWAY mode and the entry/exit zone is faulted first. Otherwise
this zone type gives an instant alarm. Exit delay is present for any arming
mode. This zone type is usually assigned to a zone covering an area such as a
foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass (upon entry, after
faulting the entry/exit zone) to reach the keypad to disarm the system. Since
this zone type is designed to pro vide an instant alarm if the entry/exit zone is
not violated first, it will protect an area in the event an intruder hides on the
premises prior to the system being armed, or gains access to the premises
through an unprotected area. This zone type is bypassed automatically
when the panel is armed STAY or INSTANT.
Type 05 This zone type will give an instant alarm if faulted when armed in the AWAY,
Trouble by Day/ STAY, INSTANT or MAXIMUM (night) modes. During the disarmed state
Alarm by Night (day), the system will provide a latched trouble sounding from the keypad
(and a central station report, if desired). This zone type is usually assigned to
a zone which contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or
to a zone covering a "sensitive" area such as a stock room, drug supply room,
etc. This zone type can also be used on a sensor or contact in an area where
immediate notification of an entry is desired.
Type 06 This zone type sends a report to the Central Station but provides no keypad
24-hour Silent Alarm display or sounding. This zone type is usually assigned to a zone containing
an Emergency button.
Type 07 This zone type sends a report to the Central Station, and provides a rapid
24-hour Audible Alarm beeping sound at the keypad, and an audible external alarm. This zone type
is usually assigned to a zone that has an Emergency button.
Type 08 This zone type sends a report to the Central Station and provides a rapid
24-hour beeping sound at the keypad. (No bell output is provided). This zone type
Auxiliary Alarm is usually assigned to a zone containing a button for use in personal
emergencies, or to a zone containing monitoring devices such as water or
temperature sensors, etc.
Type 09 This zone type provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition
Supervised Fire on open circuit. The bell output will pulse when this zone type is faulted. This
zone type is always active and cannot be bypassed. This zone type can be
assigned to control panel wired zone 5 and to certain wireless zones.
Type 10 This zone type gives entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped
Interior w/Delay when the panel is armed in the Away mode, regardless of whether or not an
entry/exit delay zone was tripped first. This zone type is also active during
MAXIMUM mode, but n o entry delay is provided (an alarm occurs
immediately if the zone is tripped). Exit delay is present for any arming
mode. This zone type is bypassed automatically when the panel is
armed Stay or Instant .

– 11 –
 Type 20 This is a special-purpose zone type used with 5800 series wireless pushbutton
ArmÐStay units which will result in arming the system in the STAY mode when the
zone is activated. Pushbutton units send zone number as a user number to
central station when arming or disarming.

Type 21 This is a special-purpose zone type used with 5800 series wireless pushbutton
ArmÐAway units which will result in arming the system in the AWAY mode when the
zone is activated. Pushbutton units send zone number as a user number to
central station when arming or disarming.
Type 22 This is a special-purpose zone type used with 5800 series wireless pushbutton
Disarm which will result in disarming the system when the zone is activated.

Type 23 This can be used on a zone when an output relay action is desired, but with
No Alarm Response no accompanying alarm (e.g., lobby door access).

By using a 4281/5881 type RF Receiver and the appropriate 5700/5800 series transmitters, all
of the zone types listed* are available for the wireless portion of the system.
* Note: Zone Types 20, 21, and 22 cannot be used in a 5700 RF system.

REMOTE PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL (DOWNLOADING)
General Information
The FA142C can be remotely programmed from an IBM compatible Per sonal
Computer (PC), a HAYES Modem, and Downloading Software (as specified
below).
Programming the control from a remote location is protected against
compromise by someone attempting to defeat the system, using multi-levels of
security protection:
1. Security Code Handshake: An 8-digit download ID code must be
matched between the control and the downloader.
2. Site-Initiated Remote Programming: Telco Hand-off feature allows the
technician at the site to call the downloading facility from the control panel
phone line, initiate a site download (Installer or Master Code + # + 1), and
the control will immediately be on-line with the modem at the downloading
facility. Also, if a local computer has a modem, the telephone line terminals
of the control can be connected to the modem, and a direct download
connection can be established with the new downloader program.
3. Station-Initiated Remote Programming: The operator calls the site
from your office to initiate the download call. The control hangs up and then
calls back the PC via the preprogrammed telephone number. The unit can
then be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled from your office.
The control can also be set for no callback by the downloader.
4. Data Encryption: Data passed between the PC and the control is en -
crypted for security so that it is very difficult for a foreign device tapped
into the phone line to take over communication and substitute system
compromising information.

UL Downloading is not permissible for UL installations unless an installer is

present at the installation site.

Equipment Required
At the premises:
• FA142C Control and keypad.
At the installer's of fice/home:
• An IBM PC compatible computer.
• Either a HAYES brand SMARTMODEM 1200 [Level 1.2 or higher external or
Level 1.1 or higher (with 4 position DIP switch) internal style],or a HAYES
brand Optima 24 Plus FAX96 Modem.
• First Alert’s FADL Downloading Software (Rev 4 or higher), or Compass
Windows downloading software (at revision level 1.0.1.0. or higher).
• Appropriate interconnecting cables.

Remote Programming Information

The downloading system can perform many functions when in communication
with the control unit. Besides uploading and downloading, the status of the sys -
tem can be observed and various commands can be initiated, as follows:
• Arm the System in the Away Mode; Disarm the System.
• Bypass a Zone.
• Shut Down Communication (dialer) Functions (non-payment of monitoring
fees in an owned system).
• Shut Down all Security System Functions (non-payment for a leased system).

– 21 –
 • Inhibit Local Keypad Programming (prevents account takeover).
• Read: Arming Status, AC Power Status, Lists of Faulted Zones, Bypassed
Zones, Zones Currently in Alarm, Zones Currently in Trouble, and RF
Sensors with Low Battery Conditions.
Note: After the control and the PC have established valid communication, each keypad
on the system will become inactive and will display "CC" or " MODEM COMM.".
The control, however, will still be scanning its zones and looking for alarms. If
an alarm does occur, after communication is broken off, alarms are sounded and
the proper dialer reports are sent to the central station. The keypads will
become active after the download communication is terminated.
The detailed operation of the download functions is covered in the installation
instructions for the Downloading Software .

Remote Programming Advisory Notes

• Alarm and trouble reporting may be delayed during the time that the system
and the Downloader are linked to each other following a valid exchange of
codes, but the proper message will get through to the Central Station after
the link is broken.
• Keypad entries are ignored during the time interval stated above.
• A copy of the program downloaded may be produced from the IBM PC
compatible computer, using the product's in ternal report generator, when an
optional printer is connected (consult your PC manual for proper printer and
connections).
• Program Upload or Download Time ÑApproximately one minute fifteen
seconds for a complete program.
