![– 10 – Section 4: Programming the K3852There are 3 methods of programming the K3852: (1) Using a 7720P Programming Tool; (2) using an ECPcapable control panel that supports long range radio programming,; (3) using the ProgrammerlessRegistration Option (PRO).To use the 7720P, connect the 7720P then power-up the radio. Refer to the description below.To use an ECP capable control, connect the control, then power-up the radio. Select ECP operation bypressing the tamper switch once while the radio status LEDs are flashing in unison, which toggles thedefault configuration from zone mode to ECP mode. The unprogrammed K3852 flashes the radio statusLEDs as follows during initial power-up:ECP mode = twice per secondZone mode = once per secondThe default device address of the radio is 3. Refer to the control’s instructions for programming procedures.To use the Programmerless Registration Option, power-up the radio, then contact AlarmNet TechnicalAssistance Center (TAC). Refer to the Programmerless Registration Option Installation and ProgrammingGuide insert.Using a 7720P Programming ToolThe 7720P Programming Tool is powered by the K3852 via the Programming Jack.

![– 11 –Enter programming mode by pressing [ENTER] during the initial power-up period after the chasersequence (while radio status LEDs are flashing consecutively or in unison).The K3852 reads its EEROM to determine its preprogrammed parameters. A CRC of the EEROMlocations is also read. If the computed CRC does not match the one read from EEROM, or if theprogramming parameters are invalid, the 7720P LCD displays "NO PROG" and the radio status LEDs flashin unison (after the initial chaser sequence). Otherwise, the LEDs flash consecutively.Password ProtectionIf you are NOT programming the radio through an ECP capable control panel (e.g., VISTA-128FB), theprogramming menu can be password protectedOnce a password is assigned, the following prompt appears upon entering programming mode:ENTER PASSWORD:See “Exiting Program Mode” paragraph later in this section for assigning and changing passwords.Subscriber Information (Questions 1-7)Question 1*.

![– 18 –Section 5: RegistrationTest RegistrationPrior to registering the radio, a test registration can be sent. The test registration is used to confirm theprogramming of the radio and the routing across the AlarmNet C network without actually registering theradio. This feature requires a 7720P.To initiate a test registration, first complete Quick Start programming. Options 2, 3, and 4 must beprogrammed. After this, press shift-“T” on a connected 7720P. Test registration progress messages will bedisplayed on the 7720P as described in the Interactive Registration paragraph below. When a testregistration has been completed, the radio will be reported to the central station as 5555 5555 9. Thisindicates that the radio is programmed and routed correctly, but is not registered. If test registration fails, amessage on the 7720P will indicate the failure.Registering the RadioOnce you have initialized and programmed the K3852, you must register it with AlarmNet Control. Anunregistered K3852 is indicated on the radio status LEDs as: solid green, blinking yellow, and unlit red.The registration process consists of transmitting 3 messages in succession and receiving a registrationvalidation from AlarmNet Control. It can take several minutes to complete.Initiate the registration sequence by either clicking the tamper switch 3 times or by pressing shift and the uparrow [↑] on the 7720P. If you are using a 7720P, skip to the Interactive Registration section.You can monitor the registration process on the RSSI display as follows: yellow LED will be blinking andthe green LED at the extreme right of the display will blink. When this green LED lights solid, the nextgreen LED to the left begins to blink. When this LED lights solid, the next green LED begins to blink, andso on, until all 4 green LEDs are lit solid.Once you have successfully completed the registration, the radio will enter normal operating mode; thegreen radio status LED extinguishes, the yellow radio status LED continues normal blinking, and the RSSIdisplay indicates received signal strength.If registration is not validated within 90 seconds, the K3852 will time out and all 5 RSSI LEDs will blink inunison for 30 seconds. If repeated registration attempts time out, select a new installation site.If the K3852 has been programmed with an invalid ID, city, or central station number, the registration willbe rejected. The right green LED will blink alternately with the remaining 4 RSSI LEDs.off blink rapidblinkonLED Key"click""click""click"REGISTRATIONGYRregistrationprogressYG G G GYG G G GYG G G GYG G G GMSG 1SENT MSG 2SENT MSG 3SENT WAITACK](https://usermanual.wiki/Ademco/K3852.Users-Manual/User-Guide-39324-Page-18.png)
![– 19 –Interactive RegistrationThe interactive registration feature allows the installer to register the K3852 through a series of keyboardcommands on the 7720P installation tool. This method of registration lets the installer monitor theregistration process.RegistrationMSG1 SentRegistrationMSG2 SentRegistrationMSG3 SentRegistrationWaiting for ACKOnce the installation is complete the installer should select the[↑] command on the 7720P.Three messages are sent, then the unit waits foracknowledgement.RegistrationSuccessful!If this is a new installation, and the City, CS, and Cust# havebeen correctly entered, the K3852 will be registered and thismessage will be displayed. At this point the K3852 is in fullservice and available for alarm reporting to the central station.Possible ErrorsMIN Exists This prompt may appear only if this is a test registration andindicates that a different account number is already associatedwith this MIN in the AlarmNet database.RegistrationTimed Out!If no response to the registration request is received fromAlarmNet, this message will be displayed.Reg RejectBad ID! PSIf the City, CS, and Cust# were not correctly entered, thismessage will be displayed.If this message is displayed with a “P” primary ID, and or an “S”secondary ID, it indicates that the ID information was eitherentered in error, or the central station failed to pre-authorizeprogrammed ID numbers with AlarmNet customer service.Account ExistsSub Y/NThis prompt is displayed if this is a repair/replacement, or an errorwas made in programming the K3852 for an existing account.If this is a test registration, the opportunity to substitute the radiowill not be offered.Replacement RadiosDo You Have APIN # Y/NAt this point the installer should havecalled in for a 4-digit alpha numeric PIN# that must be obtained by having anauthorized person call the AlarmNetTechnical Assistance Center (TAC).Answering “Y“ will continue theregistration process. Answering “N” willabort the process. If “Y” was selectedthen the next prompt will be displayed.](https://usermanual.wiki/Ademco/K3852.Users-Manual/User-Guide-39324-Page-19.png)
![– 20 –Alarm Will BeSent, OK Y/NIf the installer proceeds beyond thispoint by answering “Y,” a correct PINnumber must be supplied to completethe registration. Any attempt atregistration at this point, whethersuccessful or unsuccessful, will result ina radio substitution alarm being sent tothe CS. Answering “Y” allows theinstaller to continue registration.Answering “N” will abort the registration.If “Y” was chosen, see the next section onReplacement Radios for the remainder ofthe process.If the installation is a known repair/replacement, you can skip the previous section by selecting the[↓] command to initiate the replacement registration process, beginning with the PIN entry asfollows.Enter PIN# The installer must enter a 4 digit alphanumeric PIN # that must be obtained byhaving an authorized person call theAlarmNet TAC (Technical AssistanceCenter).

![– 25 –Wiring for Radio FaultsYou may program the radio fault output relay (refer to Programming the K3852 section) for either:FAIL-SAFE mode (UL requirement)•Answer “Y” to “FLT REL ON (Y/N)”•Relay always energized [N.C.]•Relay will change state (and trigger a dialer, ifconnected) in the event of power loss.•Fail-safe mode increases the standby current by about10mA, which results in lower battery backup time(about 15%) in the event of power loss.LOW CURRENT mode•Answer “N” to “FLT REL ON (Y/N)”•Relay normally de-energized [N.O.]•Does not increase standby current•NOT approved for UL installations.Run two wires from the K3852’s radio fault terminals 11 and 12 to a zone on the control panel. Refer to theFigures below for wiring the radio fault relay.Figure 11. Wiring the K3852 to trip a control panel zone Figure 12. Wiring the K3852 to trip aduring a radio fault (required for UL installations) control panel zone for normally open fault(not UL approved)AC Power ConnectionsPrimary power for the K3852 is provided by a wall-mounted 16.5VAC / 40VA transformer ADEMCO PN:1361 (1361CN in Canada). Use of a transformer with a lower power rating will result in unreliable systemoperation.Connect the AC power wires from the 16.5V 40VA wall transformer to terminals 1 and 2 on the K3852. Donot plug the transformer into the AC power source until all wiring connections have been made and you areready to power up the K3852. Refer to the K3852 Initial Power-Up Sequence section.Backup Battery ConnectionThe optional battery backup (ADEMCO 7720BT) can provide over 4 hours of system life in the event of anAC power failure. When AC power is lost, the K3852 enters a low-power state and the programmable ACloss message can alert the AlarmNet Control Center (AC loss messages are reported within 10-40 minutesof actual AC loss). Any alarms that are tripped during this low-power state will wake the system up totransmit the appropriate message. After a successful transmission, the K3852 will reenter its low-powerstate. When the battery reaches 10.5V, a low-battery message is transmitted, which alerts the AlarmNetControl Center that this may be the radio’s last message. When the battery reaches 8.5V, radiotransmissions are no longer possible and the system shuts down. If AC power is restored before the systemshuts down, an AC Restore message will be sent and the battery will be recharged using the K3852’s built-in battery charger. If AC power is restored after the system has shut down, a power-on reset conditionexists, and the radio will initialize itself as described earlier and the battery will be recharged.The K3852 performs a battery test under load on a daily basis. During this test, if the battery drops below10.5V, a low-battery message will be generated to indicate that the battery should be replaced.To install the battery, snap it into the battery holder with the connector wire towards the lower right. Do notplug the battery in until all wiring connections have been made and you are ready to power up the K3852.Refer to K3852 Initial Power-Up Sequence section. When you are ready to power up the radio, plug thebattery connector into the battery jack located on the right-hand side of the K3852 terminal strip.Lower cover must be in place for the K3852 to enter its lower power state during battery operation.](https://usermanual.wiki/Ademco/K3852.Users-Manual/User-Guide-39324-Page-25.png)
