Programming Overview
This section of the manual is intended to give you an overview of the programming process. Please read this
section of the manual carefully, especially if you are programming the control panel for the first time.
The JumpStart feature automates many programming tasks and selects default options for the system. You will
run JumpStart at least once when you are installing the system. See Section 6.1 for details. After you run
JumpStart, you may need to do some additional programming depending on your installation. Section 7 of this
manual covers manual programmable options in detail.
Programming the panel can be thought of as a three part process. You must program:
• System options. These are options that affect general operation of the panel (see Section 7.6 for details).
• Options for input points and zones. These are primarily options that control detection behavior of devices
(see Section 7.5 for details).
• Options for output points and groups. This includes selecting characteristics for output groups and mapping
output circuits to output groups (see Section 7.5 for details).
6.1 JumpStart Autoprogramming
The JumpStart feature allows for faster system setup. When you run JumpStart (immediately after addressing
SLC devices), the system scans devices on all SLC loops and determines device type (for example, ionization
smoke detector or heat sensor) and selects some system options based on the device type. This saves the installer
from having to program options for each device. Depending on the application, the installer may need to make
some changes after JumpStart completes.
See Section 6.1.3 for complete details about running JumpStart.
6.1.1 Input Points
JumpStart will determine the number and type of input points (detectors or contact monitor modules) on each
SLC loop. JumpStart assigns the correct detector type (heat, ionization or photoelectric), so the installer does not
need to edit device type for detectors. Any contact monitor modules on the system will be assigned type "Manual
Pull." The installer will need to manually change the switch type if manual pull is not correct.
JumpStart creates one zone (Zone 1) and assigns all input points to Zone 1. Zone 1 is mapped to Output Group 1.
After JumpStart completes, you can re-map to configure a multiple zone/output group system (see Section
7.3.1.3). For a general explanation of mapping, see Section 6.2.
6.1.2 Output Points
JumpStart creates three output groups and assigns output circuits as follows:
Circuits 1-4:
Configured as Notification and assigned to Group 1. JumpStart automatically programs Zone 1 to activate Group
IMPORTANT
JumpStart is intended to be run one time only, immediately after SLC devices have been addressed and connected.
JumpStart will reset all manually programmed options to default settings. Do not run JumpStart after you have configured
the system.
