In Reply to: How to tell what zones I have avail? Want to add 5804 posted by J Hill on July 07, 2003 at 22:26:07:
Forget the changing keypads deal, you just need to make sure you have a wireless receiver of some kind (whether it be integrated into the keypad, or a stand-alone unit.)
Since you have a 4-button KF, you'll need 4 button zones - assuming you don't have any wireless keyfobs yet, you'll want to start programming at Zone 49 (the manual calls these "RF Button Zones")
If you don't have a wireless receiver yet, don't worry about getting the wireless integrated keypad (it's too much money), just get a stand-alone wireless receiver - like the 5881 - unless you also want to add another keypad.
: How do I tell what zones I have already programmed into an ADT Safewatch Pro
: 3000?
: I want to add a 5804 keyfob to activate a 4204 relay. I know how to program
: the 4204 to trip on a zone, but I dont know what zones are available.
: FYI, I purchased my ADT system outright. Thus if I want to have anyone work
: on it I have to pay ADT an exorbitant fee, which I am not going to do.
: I did not install my alarm. Therefore I do not know what zones the installer
: programmed, and thus what zones are available. I have the progammers guide
: for the SW 3000 and have studied it to determine all that I need to do to
: configure the 4204. However, since I do not know which zones are configured,
: I dont know know what value to input to program a relay for a zone.
: The programmers guide does not talk about any way to scroll through the
: system to see which zones are programmed and which are available to use for
: the 4204 relays. Hence the reason for my question.
: Also my understanding of programming a 5804 - Loop 1 to activate a relay is
: as follows:
: Program Loop 1 as Zone Type 23 - No Response
: Program Loop 1 for Zone XX - Where Zone XX is No Response from the alarm.
: Program the 4204 Relay 1 for Zone XX using both *79 and *80 preogramming
: modes.
: Thus when I push Loop 1 on the 5804 it activates Zone XX and trips Relay #1.
: Is this correct? What zone should Zone XX be? Also, what sequence of
: programming steps do I need to do to configure the 5804 Loop 1 for Zone XX?
: The programming guide only talks about the 5804 pre-configured templates?
: Again thanks in advance for any help/advice!!!
