MCS PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES
program the MCS when a) it is initially installed, and b) making changes/
corrections to the existing program in the MCS. Additionally, various capabilities
of the MCS will be explained which will provide a better understanding of the VIS
equipment which will assist in making programming decisions and corrections.
NOTE
It is necessary to make a few assumptions prior
to initial programming or corrections:
a. That all FFCSs have the proper setting
(1,2,3,4,5 or 6).
