NOTICE:

means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities
of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable
method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated
by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

User should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.

AVIS:

L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette
certifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des
réseaux de télécommunications. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la
satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de
l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode
acceptée de raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l’entreprise utilisés pour un service
individuel à ligne unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif homologué de raccordement
(cordon prolongateur téléphonique interne). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité
aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empèche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunications ne permettent pas que l’on raccorde leur matériel à des
jacks d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis prévus par les tarrifs particuliers de ces entreprises.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé
désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de
débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause
de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source
d’énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont
raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir
recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

L’indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le
pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordée à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce
dispositif. La terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de
dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.

L’Indice de charge de ce produit est 2.

ABOUT YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give the greatest possible
flexibility and convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer
instruct you on system operation and on which features have been implemented
in your system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use.
Fill out the System Information page and store this manual in a safe place for
future reference.

Fire Detection

This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke
detectors and providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire
detection depends on having adequate number of detectors placed in appropriate
locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with applicable
standards and codes. Carefully review the Family Escape Planning guidelines in
this manual.

NOTE:

Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this
equipment before it becomes functional.

Testing

To insure that your system continues to function as intended, it is important that you
test your system weekly. See the testing procedure elsewhere in this manual. If
your system does not function properly, call your installing company for service.

GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION

Your security system is made up of a DSC PC1500 or PC1550 control panel, one
or more LED615 keypads and various sensors and detectors. The control panel
will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement. The metal cabinet
contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There is normally no
reason for anyone but the installer or serviceman to have access to the control
panel. The LED615 keypads have an audible indicator (buzzer), a group of zone
and system status lights and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send
commands to the system and to display the current system status. The security
station(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises
close to the entry/exit door(s).

The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones
will have one or more sensors connected to it (motion detectors, glassbreak
detectors, door contacts, etc.). When a sensor is in alarm, the zone of alarm will
be indicated on the LED615 (zone lights 1 through 6).

Important Notice

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only
intended to alert you and, if included, a monitoring station, of
an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very
reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they
are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and
property insurance. Your security system should be installed
and serviced by qualified security professionals who should
instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided
and on system operations.

MASTER CODE

The 4 digit Master Code is used to arm and disarm the security system, to
program additional security codes and to change other system features. The
Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad entries are
made by pressing one key at a time. (See Additional Codes section)

ARMING THE SYSTEM

Check the following items before arming the system:

Bypass light

If the “Bypass” light is ON, insure that zones are intentionally bypassed before
arming the system (See Zone Bypassing section).

Trouble light

If the “ Trouble” light is ON, check to see what the trouble condition is and call
for service. (See Viewing Trouble Conditions section).

Ready light

If the “Ready” light is NOT ON, check to see that all doors and windows are
closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The
system cannot be armed unless the “Ready” light is ON indicating that all
zones are closed.

NOTE:

To Arm

Enter your 4 digit access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will
beep. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder will beep
quickly and the “Armed” light will come ON.

If the access code was entered incorrectly or the “Ready” light comes ON, the
keypad buzzer will sound steadily for 2 seconds. If this occurs, press the [#] key
and re-enter your access code.

When the correct access code is entered and the “Armed” light comes ON, exit
the premises through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit-Entry door.

At the end of the exit delay period, all lights, except the “Armed” light, will go out
and the system will be armed. The exit time delay can be changed by your
installer.

The system may be armed with a zone bypassed or a trouble present
but your security protection will be reduced.

AUTO-BYPASS OPTION - HOME-AWAY ARMING

This feature, if selected by your installer, will allow you to arm your system with any
valid access code and the system will automatically bypass the interior zones. The
“Bypass” light will come on. If you exit within the allowed exit time, the system will
automatically activate the interior zones and the “Bypass” light will go out. This
feature is designed to save the customer from having to manually bypass interior
zones each time they wish to arm the system and remain at home.

In residential applications where the system has been armed and the interior
zones are automatically bypassed, the interior zones can be reactivated from a
keypad that is outside the interior zone's protection area. To reactivate the interior
zones, press [

] then [1] and the “Bypass” light will go out.
