HOW TO PROGRAM THE 8980
The Ranger 8980 can be placed into the "Program" mode by either of the following methods.
1. Enter the 4 digit "Go To Program" access code (locations 28-31). At initial power-up the code
in these slots is
[9]-[7]-[1]-[3]
. The Ranger 8980 must be disarmed to gain access to
programming with this code.
2. Plug the optional model #8950 programmer into the 4-pin male outlet marked "program" on the
Ranger 8980 P.C. Board.
When the system keypad is utilized for programming (as described by method 1 above), the
Ranger 8980 will be in the "Program" mode, and the yellow LED's will display the data in location
000. The data is displayed using a Binary system. With this system the yellow zone 1 LED equals
"1" when illuminated. The zone 2 LED equals "2" when illuminated. The zone 3 LED equals "4"
when illuminated. The zone 4 LED equals "8" when illuminated. Thus if the data in location 000 is
"9", the LED for zone 1 (=1) and zone 4 (=8) would be illuminated. By adding the two values
together, (1+8=9) you would determine that the data in location 000 is "9". If the data in location
000 is "6", the LED for zone 2 (=2) and zone 3 (=4) would be added (2+4=6) indicating the data in
that location to be "6". If no LED's are illuminated, the location contains a "0". To advance from
location 000 through 180, press the
[#]
key. To go to a specific location, press the location
number followed by the
[#]
key. The yellow LED's will then display the data in that location. Data is
changed by entering a number 0 to 15 followed by
[
r
]
(data enter key). Review the examples in
figure 1 on page 7.
When using the optional #8950 Programmer, the programming keystrokes will be the same as
with the system keypad. The #8950 however, has the ability to display the location number and
the data on the numeric display. See figure 2 on page 7.
There are three function codes that are used to program the Ranger 8980. These codes are
[2]-[1]-[0]-[#], [2]-[2]-[0]-[#], and [2]-[3]-[0]-[#], and are described below.
# After all the programming data has been entered into locations 000-180, you must enter the
code
[2]-[2]-[0]-[#]
to permanently load the information into the EEPROM.
IF THIS STEP IS
NOT TAKEN, THE DATA IN THE EEPROM WILL NOT CHANGE, AND THE RANGER 8980
WILL NOT CHANGE CHARACTERISTICS.
# To change the data back to the original default values, enter the code
[2]-[1]-[0]-[#]
to load the
data into the RAM memory and then
[2]-[2]-[0]-[#]
to load that data into the EEPROM.
# To exit the Program mode after it has been accessed with the four digit "Go To Program"
access code, enter code
[2]-[3]-[0]-[#]
.
