nonprogrammable
Cannot be coded
Nonprogrammable describes a device or system that cannot be programmed—its functions are fixed at manufacture and cannot be altered by the user.
A nonprogrammable thermostat maintains a constant temperature setting, unlike programmable models that adjust automatically throughout the day.
The term appears in technical specifications and consumer product descriptions.
