3.4.4 Programming the User Message – 1817 Systems
The user message is displayed on the top screen of the 1817. This message can be a maximum of
80 characters (spaces count as a character) and is entered into the system memory in four blocks.
The example below shows how the sample message was divided into four blocks and centered on
the screen. Use the blank matrix to organize your own message. Only upper case letters, numbers
and spaces can be programmed from the system keypad.
Factory Default User Message: This Space is For Your User Programmable Message
NOTE: The factory default message was programmed from a PC, therefore upper and lower case
letters are allowed.
