How to Use View Point Status

[#1]

Issue

How is view point status accessed from a D1255/D1256 keypad?

Solution

If View PT Status has already been added to the keypad's menu, perform the following to access it:

1. Press ESC
2. Press NEXT until VIEW PT STATUS is displayed on the keypad.
3. Press ENT
4. The area being viewed is displayed along with the total number of devices in that area.  I.e., if there were 53 points assigned to area 1 and the keypad were assigned to area 1, the keypad would display, "AREA 1  53"
5. Press ENT again to display the point text for the first point assigned to the area displayed in step 4.
6. Press ENT to display the status of that point, or press NEXT to display the point text for the next point assigned to the area displayed in step 4.

If VIEW PT STATUS has not yet been added to the command menu on the keypad, follow the steps below to add it to the menu:

If programming is being done with a D5200 programmer:

1. Copy the panel programming using the appropriate handler from the  PRODUCT HANDLERS list.  Use the following table for assistance:

        Panel type    Product Handler    Jump to step

            D7412               9000MAIN                      1

            D9412               9000MAIN                      1

            D7212               9000MAIN                     1

            D9112              9000MAIN                      1

D7212B or B1          7212B                              2

D9112B or B1         9112B                               2

1.) If using the 9000MAIN handler:

• Scroll to USER INTERFACE and ENTER GROUP.
• ENTER GROUP on Cmd Center Functions
• Scroll to View Pt Status and ensure that it is set to E
• EXIT GROUP twice.
• ENTER GROUP on FUNCTION LIST.
• Continue with step 4.

2.)If using the 9112B or 7212B handler:

• Scroll to USER INTERFACE and ENTER GROUP
• ENTER GROUP on Cmd Center Function
• Scroll to View Pt Status and ensure it is set to E.
• EXIT GROUP once.
• ENTER GROUP on Command Menu
• Continue with step 4.

3.) Go to Menu Item 32.   *Note:  Menu item 32 is being used simply because it is most likely to have not been used already.  Any menu item can be used except 1 through 4 which must be left as 128 through 132*

4. ) Set M32 Function to 10.

5.) Set M32 CC Address # to Yes (# represents the address assigned to the keypad)

6.) Send the program back to the panel and refer to the beginning of this question for instructions on accessing view point status from the menu.

B. If programming is being done with RPS or RAM IV:

1.) Under USER INTERFACE -> Command Center Functions, set View PT Status to E.

2.) For 7212B/B1 or 9112B/B1, go to USER INTERFACE -> Command Menu; for all others go to FUNCTION LIST.

3.) Set any available Menu Item's Function # to 10 and set CC Address # to Yes (# represents the address assigned to the keypad)

4.) Save and send the program back to the panel.
