Features
Specifications
Keypad Programmable
The PC1550 is complete with a default program so that it is
operational with a minimum of programming. The control panel is
completely programmable from the keypad.
EEPROM Memory
The panel uses EEPROM memory which will retain all program
information even if AC and battery power are removed from the
panel. The EEPROM memory can be reprogrammed thousands of
times.
Static/Lightning Protection
The PC1550 has been carefully designed and tested to provide
reliable protection against static and lightning induced transients.
Our special “Zap-Trac” circuit board design catches high voltage
transients right at the wiring terminals, and transient protection
devices are placed in all critical areas to further reduce damaging
voltages.

Installation
Mounting the Panel
Select a dry location close to an unswitched AC source and close
to the telephone line connection. Remove the printed circuit board,
the mounting hardware and the keypad from the cardboard retainer
inside the cabinet. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall, press
the four white nylon printed circuit board mounting studs into the
cabinet from the back. Once the cabinet is mounted to the wall, pull
all the cables into the cabinet and prepare them for connection.
Use a meter to test the wiring for opens, shorts and grounds. Press
the circuit board onto the white nylon mounting studs. Complete all
wiring to the control panel before applying AC power or connecting
the battery.
NOTE: See the Control Panel Wiring Diagram on the inside
back cover for more information.
Mounting the Keypad
Keypads should be located close to the designated “Entry-Exit”
door(s) and mounted at a height convenient for all users.
NOTE: Complete all wiring to the control panel before applying AC
power or connecting the battery.
Auxiliary Power Connection
The auxiliary power supply can be used to
power keypads, motion detectors and
other devices that require 11 V
DC. See the
Fire Zone Wiring section for the connection
of 4-wire smoke detectors. The total load
for the auxiliary power output must be
calculated for all devices connected
across the AUX +/- terminals and for
devices connected between the AUX +
and PGM terminals. The output current
cannot exceed 475 mA. Allow 35 mA for
each PC1500RK keypad connected to
the panel.
AUX

FUSE
1 A
11VD C
PGM Terminal Connections
The PGM terminal is a switched negative output which can be
controlled by various programming options (See Programming
Guide section [24]). Devices controlled by the PGM output must be
connected between the PGM terminal, which is (-) and the Aux. (+)
terminal.
Bell/Siren Connection
Observe polarity when connecting siren drivers, sirens and polarized
bells.
Keypad Wiring
Up to three keypads may be connected in parallel. Do not connect
multiple keypads on the same keypad wire run. For Standby
Loading purposes, use a current draw of 35 mA per keypad. This
represents the panel in the disarmed state with two zones open.
Fire Zone Wiring
Any one of the 6 zones may be programmed as a Fire Loop. See
Programming Guide section [11].
Smoke detectors should be the latching type and have N.O. alarm
initiating contacts. Power wiring from the AUX + / PGM terminals
should be supervised using an RM-1 relay after the last smoke
detector. The RM-1 N.O. contacts (closed with power applied)
should be wired in series with the alarm initiating end-of-line
resistor so that should power to the detector(s) fail, a fire loop
trouble will be initiated.
Burglary Zone Wiring
Burglary zone definition, (eg. Delay, Instant, 24 Hr. etc.) is
programmed via the keypad. See the Programming Guide, section
[11].

AC Power Wiring
Complete all wiring to the control panel before connecting AC
power or the battery. Do not plug the transformer into an outlet that
is controlled by a switch.
Battery Connection
If the battery is reverse connected, the 5 A fuse will blow. The
battery charging voltage is factory set and normally needs no
adjustment. If the battery charging voltage is out of adjustment,
contact your service representative.
NOTE:
The battery charging voltage must not be adjusted on UL-
listed systems.
If AC power is OFF and the battery voltage is approximately 9.5 V
or lower, the battery will be disconnected and the panel will power
down. To power up again, the AC will have to be re-established.
Telephone Line Wiring
NOTE: Ensure that plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance
WARNING
FCC restricts using this equipment on certain types of telephone
lines. Read FCC Compliance Statement at the end of this manual.

Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors
Bedroom Bedroom
Basement
Living
Room
Dining
Room
Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units
generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments using
typical fires in family living units indicate that detectable quantities
of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For
these reasons, NFPA standard 72 requires smoke detectors to be
installed outside of each sleeping area and on each additional
story of the family unit.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is
recommended that NFPA standard 72 be consulted and that the
smoke detector manufacturer's literature be used for detailed
installation instructions.
It is recommended that additional smoke detectors beyond those
required be installed for increased protection. The added areas
include: basement, bedrooms, dining rooms, furnace room, utility
room and hallways not protected by the required detectors.

Programming Guide
Introduction
The essential information which defines the operation of the control
panel is stored in a section of the EEPROM memory which is
accessible using the Installer’s Programming code or via
downloading. If the Installer’s code is forgotten, the EEPROM may
be reset to the factory default code. See Section [30], Reset to
Factory Default.
Programming
With the panel in the disarmed mode, enter [∗][8][1500]. The panel
can only be programmed while it is in disarmed mode. The default
installer’s code is 1500; it can be changed in section [20], New
Installer’s Code.
Once the installer’s command is entered, the “Armed” light will come
ON steadily and the “Memory“, “Bypass” and “Trouble” lights will
flash. This indicates that the panel is ready for programming. NOTE:
If no key entry is made for 2 minutes, the panel will return to the Ready
mode and installers programming will have to be re-entered.
With the “Armed” light ON steadily, enter 2 digits for the section you
wish to program. Section numbers range from [01] to [36], and each
section can be programmed independently. Section [00] is reserved
for binary programming which is normally done on instruction from
factory technical personnel.
Once the 2 digits for the section you wish to program are entered, the
“Armed” light will go OFF, the “Ready” light will go ON steadily, and
the keypad sounder will beep 3 times. The keypad is now ready to
accept data for the selected section.
Most sections contain groups of 2-digit entries and the keypad
buzzer will beep twice after each 2-digit group is entered. When the
section is first entered, the first 4 zone lights will indicate, in a binary
format, the value of the first digit in that section (see binary display
section on this page). If you wish to change that digit, simply enter
the new digit from the keypad. If you wish to keep that digit
unchanged, you can enter the same number or skip the digit by
pressing the [F] key. Once the first digit has been entered or
skipped, the 4 zone lights will display the value of the second digit.
After each digit is entered or skipped, the zone lights show the value
of the next digit in the binary format.
When the required data for the section being programmed is completely
entered, the keypad sounder will beep several times and the “Armed”
light will come ON to indicate that the expected data has been
entered. At this point, you will still be in the program mode and need
only enter the section number for the next section you wish to program.
It is not necessary to program all 2-digit pairs in any given section.
A section can be entered and selectively programmed by going only
to the digit(s) you wish to change and then pressing [#] to return to
the programming mode. For 2-digit pairs, both digits must be
programmed before pressing [#]. Only the data entered before
pressing [#] will be changed in the EEPROM.
Program Data Review
• Enter the section you wish to program by entering the 2-digit
section number.
• The first 4 zone LEDs will represent the value, in binary format,
of the first digit in that section.
• Each press of the [F] key will advance the display to the next digit.
• At the end of the section, the keypad will beep several times and
then return to the program mode so that another section can be
selected for review or programming.
NOTE: Only sections [01] through [24] and [26] through [28] can
be reviewed using the method described above. Section [25]
cannot be reviewed.
Sections [12], [13], [14], [16], [31], [32], [34]
These sections use the zone lights to indicate which functions are
active and which number key to press to turn them ON and OFF.
8
When one of these sections is entered, zone lights 1 to 6 will display
which functions are currently ON. Pressing the key number
corresponding to the zone light number will toggle the function ON
and OFF; the zone light will turn ON or OFF to indicate the state of
the function. All functions can be turned OFF at once by pressing
[0]. When the correct selections have been made, press [#] to save
the selections in memory and return to the program mode.
