The LCD Programmer Keys

The LCD Programmer has two rows of keys. The keys are used to move the cursor and to use
the various functions of the LCD Programmer.
The top row of keys have dual functions and are known as “Soft Keys”. When the commands
NO, BACK, YES, CONT, EXIT, QUIT, or WAIT are displayed on the LCD screen, the soft key
directly below the command actions the respective command.
The bottom row are the “Hard Keys”. Each hard key has a single function. The function of the
LCD Programmer keys are mentioned in Table 3, “Description of LCD Programmer keys and
functions” on page 7.

1.4 User Access Levels and PIN

User Access Level
The three user access levels allow different people to access different sets of functions. The
functions that can be edited with USR, ADM and DST access levels are listed in LCD
Programmer Screen Description on page 12.

User Access
Functional Authorization
Level Level

USR Low This is the USER or the OPERATOR level. The

user can view the event log, change the date
and the time. They can also perform selected
VESDA Zone control functions.

ADM High At the ADMINISTRATOR level access is

available to most functions. These include
setting alarm thresholds, normalizing air flows,
and defining the relay Configuration.

DST Absolute The DISTRIBUTOR level allows unlimited

access to all the system commands and
parameters.

Table 2 - User access levels

Personal Identification Number (PIN)

The default PIN for each level of user is set at the factory. The distributor has access to the PINs
for each level. PIN numbers are disclosed to authorized personnel attending accredited VESDA
training courses.
After logging in the user has the option to change the default PIN. To guard against unauthorized
access, if someone enters an incorrect PIN number three times they will not be allowed another
attempt for ten minutes.
A four digit number and a VESDA contact phone number will be displayed on the screen. No
further entries can be made until instructions are received from Xtralis.

Hour Glass Symbol

After executing a command the hour glass symbol is displayed while the LCD Programmer is
waiting for updated data to be loaded from the system. To carry on working while the hour glass
symbol is displayed, press the Soft Key located below the CONT option displayed on the screen.
The hour glass symbol will automatically disappear once the data is received by the LCD
Programmer, if there is a large amount of information transferred to the LCD programmer this
may take several minutes.

1.5 Installing and Connecting the LCD Programmer

Installing an LCD Programmer in a Detector
The LCD Programmer module is snapped into the front cover of the Detector. For wiring details
please refer to the product guide for that detector.

Installing an LCD Programmer in a Remote Unit

Please refer to the VESDA Remote Systems Product Guide for information on how to install and
connect an LCD Programmer to a remote unit or to the 19” sub rack.

Connecting the Hand Held LCD Programmer

The hand held LCD programmer is connected to a VESDAnet socket using a 15 pin D-type
connector. A VESDAnet socket is located on the head termination card in each detector. A
VESDAnet socket module can be mounted in the front cover of a remote unit or a 19” sub rack.
Connecting an LCD Programmer to VESDAnet will generate a network fault. To clear the fault,
select SYSTEM ALL DEVICES ↵ SYSTEMS CONTROL ↵ and RESET

1.6 Operating the LCD Programmer

Standby Mode
The LCD Programmer is powered through VESDAnet. Once the LCD Programmer is powered up
the VESDA logo is displayed. This screen is also displayed when the LCD Programmer is in
standby mode.
