58 DE5450S Remote Programmer Guide Rev. 9

7.3 Online Operations

While connected to the PowerMax/PowerMaster control panel, you can perform the

following operations:

• Check if the detectors in the various zones are enrolled and communicating

with the control panel.

• Transfer information between the Remote Programmer and the control

panel by uploading or downloading either all site parameters or a specific

table.

• Update the system date and time.

To check if a zone (detector) is enrolled and communicating with the

control panel

1. In the List of Tables panel, go to Installer Settings>Definition>Zone

and select the relevant detector type.

2. Click on the relevant zone number. A table representing the

selecting zone opens.

3. Check if the detector’s LED blinks. If the LED blinks,

communication between the detector and the control panel is

working normally.

4. To end the test and close the table, click OK or Cancel.

To Download or Upload All Site Parameters

Note: If you are interested in preserving changes already made in the control

panel, it is recommended to first upload all parameters, make necessary changes

and then download.

From the Communications menu, select Download or Upload,

Click the appropriate icon on the toolbar.

The system begins to transfer data between the control panel and the Remote

Programmer. The wording on the message box changes according to whether the

transfer is upload or download.
