To program or reprogram the Kidde Scropio (as I have one), its all done by the DIP switches. As follows from the manual:
PROGRAMMING
The control panel provides an 8 position DIP switch (S2)
for setting of the programmable functions of the unit. These
functions are set by placing the switch in either the ON or
OFF position. The following paragraphs explain the functions and appropriate settings.
S2-1. Switch 2-1 allows the installer to program the control unit to activate the release output on activation of one
alarm zone or both alarm zones (cross-zoned). S2-1 OFF
= 2 zone release (cross-zoned), S2-1 ON = 1 zone release.
S2-2. Switch 2-2 is not used.
S2-3. Switch 2-3 allows the installer to program a delay
for the manual release input circuit. The manual input circuit may be either delayed or not delayed. The same delays apply to this circuit when activated as to the detection
circuits (to a maximum of 30 seconds). S2-3 OFF = immediate output, S2-3 ON = delayed.
S2-4, S2-5 & S2-6. Switches 2-4, 2-5 & 2-6 allow the installer to program the unit with the appropriate delay (0, 10,
20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 seconds), needed for the installation.
Table 3 lists the switch positions and associated delays. (The
manual release delay will delay for 30 seconds, maximum.)
Note: Panels with software revision 06-235252-002 or earlier, made prior to date code 9735, S2-6 = ON Enables the abort function, S2-6 = OFF Disables the
abort function.
S2-7 & S2-8. Switches 2-7 and 2-8 allows the installer to program the desired Abort mode for the installation. There are three
modes of Abort as explained in a previous section of this document. S2-7 OFF = Mode 1, S2-7 ON = Mode 2, S2-8 OFF = IRI
Mode, S2-8 ON = Mode 1 or Mode 2 per S2-7.
Mode 2 and IRI Mode does not comply with UL 864
