Programming The Hills Reliance Control Panel

Features, Segments and Options

The Hills Reliance programming structure consists of Features, Segments, and Options.

Features or Feature numbers are used to locate an option or group of options.

Example: Feature 6 contains the communicator format selection and Feature 16 contains area one options.

Segments are contained within each feature, there are two types of segments.

The first segment type is referred to as an option select segment. This segment type contains up to eight options that can

be toggled On or Off like dip switches.

The second segment type is referred to as a numeric segment. This segment type requires a value from ‘0’ to ‘255’ to be

entered.

Options are contained within segments. An option select segment can have up to eight options. A numeric segment can

have a value of ‘0’ to ‘255’.

Example: Feature 6 contains the communicator format that has one segment with one option; and Feature 16 contains area

one options that has 5 segments with 40 options in total.

Navigating Program Mode

Entering The Program Mode: To enter the program Mode, press []-[8]. At this time, the five function LEDs (On, Partial,

Exit, Bypass, & Chime) will begin to flash. Next, enter the ‘Go To Program Code’ (factory default is [9]-[7]-[1]-[3]). If the ‘Go

To Program Code’ is valid, the ‘Service’ LED will flash and the five function LEDs will illuminate steady. You are now in the

Program Mode and ready to select the module to program.

Selecting The Module To Program: Since all modules connected to the Hills Reliance are programmed through the code

pad, the module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the Hills Reliance control panel, enter [0]-[#].

[0] is the module number of the control and the [#] is the enter key. Other module entry numbers can be found in their

corresponding manuals.

Programming A Feature: Once the number of the module to be programmed has been entered, the ‘Armed’ LED will

illuminate, indicating it is waiting for a programming feature to be entered. Any feature can be accessed by directly entering

the desired programming feature followed by the hash [#] key. If the feature entered is a valid feature, the ‘Armed’ LED will

extinguish, the ‘Ready’ LED will illuminate and the binary data for the first segment of this feature will be shown by the zone

LED's. While entering new data, the ‘Ready’ LED will begin flashing to indicate a data change in process. The flashing will

continue until the new data is stored by pressing the [] key. Upon pressing the [] key, the code pad will advance to the

next segment and display its data. This procedure is repeated until the last segment is reached. Pressing the [#] key will

exit from this feature, and the ‘Armed’ LED will illuminate again waiting for a new programming feature to be entered. If the

desired feature is the next sequential feature, press the [POLICE] key. If the previous feature is desired press the [FIRE]

key. If the same feature is desired press the [MEDICAL] key. To review the data in a feature, repeat the above procedure,

pressing the [#] key without any numeric data entry. Each time the [] key is pressed, the programming data of the next

segment will be displayed for review.

Exiting A Feature: After the last segment of a feature is programmed, pressing the [] key will exit that feature, turn the

‘Ready’ LED off and the ‘Armed’ LED on. You are now ready to enter another programming feature as before. If an attempt

is made to program an invalid entry for a particular segment, the code pad sounder will emit a triple error beep (beep, beep,

beep), and remain in that segment awaiting a valid entry.

Exiting The Program Mode: When all the desired changes in programming have been made, it is time to exit the program

mode. Pressing the [Exit] key will exit this programming level, and go to the ‘Select a Module to Program’ level. If no

additional modules are to be programmed, pressing the [Exit] key again will exit the program mode. If there is a module to

be programmed, it may be selected by entering its address followed by the [#] key (see ‘Selecting the Module To Program’

above). The procedure for programming these devices is the same as for the control panel, except the features will be for

the module selected.
