WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installers

This warning contains vi tal infor mation. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as e ffective as possible. There are circu mstances, however,
involving fire , burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide prote ction. Any alar m sys­tem of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to opera te as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of thes e reasons may be:

■ Inadequate Installation

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every i nstallation
should be evaluat ed by a secu rity profes sional to ensure that all access points an d areas are covered. Locks
and latches on windows and doors m ust be sec ure and op erate as i ntended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this ser vice is available.

■ Criminal Knowledge

This system co ntains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufactu re. It is pos­sible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features.
It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and
that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.

■ Access by Intruders

Intruders may enter through an unprotected acces s point, c ircumvent a sensing device , evade detection by
moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent
the proper op eration of the system.

■ Power Failure

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate
power supply for proper operation . If a device operates from batteries , it is pos sible for the batteries t o fail.
Even if the batt eries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a
device operates only by AC power, any inter ruption , however brief, will render that device inoperative while
it does not have power. Power inter ruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuatio ns
which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred,
immediately conduct a compl ete system test to ensure that the system oper ates as intended.

■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries

This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal
conditions. The expected battery life i s a function o f the device environment, usage a nd type. Ambient con­ditions such a s high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may red uce the
expected battery life. While each tr ansmitting device has a low battery monitor which iden tifies when the
batteries nee d to be replaced, this monito r may fail to operate as expected. Regu lar testing and mainte nance
will keep the system in good operating condition.

■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

Signals may not reach the receiver und er all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or
near the radi o path or d eliberate ja mming or other inadvertent radio s ignal interference.

■ System Users

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary
physical disabili ty, inability to reach the d evice in time, or unfamiliari ty with the cor rect operat ion. It is
important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know
how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.

■ Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of rea­sons, some of which follow. The smoke detec tors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke
may not be able t o reach the smoke dete ctors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs , or on the
other side of c losed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from f ires on ano ther level of the resi­dence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of f ires eq ually well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards suc h as smoking in bed, violen t explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, chil dren playing with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insuff icient warn­ing to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

■ Motion Detectors

Motion detectors can only detect motion within t he designate d areas as shown in their respective insta llation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area pr otection. They have multip le beams of detection and motion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil­ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors o r windows. Any type of t ampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying o f any material on the lenses, mir rors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infr ared moti on de tect ors opera te by se nsin g changes in tempera ture . However their effectiven ess
can be reduced when the ambient t emperature rises near or a bove body temperature or if there are intention al
or unintentional sources of heat in or near the det ection area. Some of these heat sourc es could be heaters,
radiators, st oves, barbeques, firepl aces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

■ Warning Devices

Warning devices such as sirens , bells, h orns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sl eeping if
there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants w ill be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be
interfered wit h by other noise sources such as ste reos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appli­ances, or passi ng tr aff ic. Audible war ning devices, however lo ud, may not be heard by a hearing-im pair ed
person.

■ Telephone Lines

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time.
Also an intruder may cut the te lephone line or defe at its op eration by mo re sophist icated mea ns which may
be difficult to dete ct.

■ Insufficient Time

There may be circumstances when the sy stem will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be pro­tected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system
is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protec t the occupants or their belongings.

■ Component Failure

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to func­tion as intended due to the failure of a compo nent.

■ Inadequate Testing

Most problems that would prevent an alar m system from operating as inte nded can be found by regular test­ing and maintenance. The complete system shou ld be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity insid e or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.

■ Security and Insurance

Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm sys­tem also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Section 2: Getting Started

The following sections provide a thorough description of how
to wire and configure devices and zones.

2.1 Installation Steps

Read this section completely before you begin. Once you
have an overall understanding of the installation process,
carefully work through each step.

Step 1: Create a Layout

Draw a rough sketch of the building to get an idea of where all
alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are to
be located.

Step 2: Mounting the Panel

Mount the panel in a dry area close to an unswitched AC
power source and the incoming telephone line. Before attach­ing the cabinet to the wall, be sure to press the four circuit
board mounting studs into the cabinet from the back. After
you have attached the cabinet to the wall, stick the provided
DSC logo sticker on the front of the cabinet.

NOTE:You must complete all wiring before connecting the bat­tery, or applying AC to the panel.

Step 3: Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.3)

Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guide­lines provided in Section 2.3 of this manual.

Step 4: Zone Wiring (Section 2.8)

You must power down the control panel to complete all zone
wiring. Please refer to 2.8

“Zone Wiring”

on page 5 when con­necting zones using normally closed loops, single EOL resis­tors, double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming
zones.

Step 5: Complete Wiring (Section 2.2)

Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone
line connections, and ground connections following the guide­lines provided in Section 2.2 (“Terminal Descriptions”).

Step 6: Power up the Control

Once all zone and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the
control panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the posi­tive terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the
AC.

NOTE: Connect the battery bef ore con nectin g the A C . You
must apply AC power to the panel for at least 10 seconds, or
the panel will not function. The panel will not power up on the
battery connection alone.

Step 7: Keypad Assignment (Section 2.5)

In order for keypads to be properly supervised, each must be
assigned to a different slot. Please follow the guidelines pro­vided in Section 2.5 when assigning keypads.

Step 8: Supervision (Section 2.6)

The supervision of each module by the panel is automatically
enabled upon power up. Please verify that all modules appear
on the system according to the instructions in Section 2.6.

Step 9: Programming the System (Sections 4 & 5)

Section 4 explains how to program the panel. Section 5 con­tains a complete description of the various programmable fea­tures, which options are available and how they function. Fill
out the Programming Worksheets completely before attempt­ing to program the system.

Step 10: Testing the System

Test the panel thoroughly to ensure that all features and func­tions are operating as programmed.

2.2 Terminal Descriptions

Battery Connection

A 12V 4Ah rechargeable battery is used as a backup source
of power in the event of an AC power failure. The battery also
provides additional current when the panel’s demands exceed
the power output of the transformer, such as when the panel is
in alarm.
The High Current Charge/Standard Battery Charge option
(section [701], option [7]) allows you to choose between a high
current battery charge and the standard battery charge rate.

High Current/Standard Battery Charge. . . .Section [701]: [7]

NOTE:Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is com­plete. Connect the battery before connecting the AC.

Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.

AC Terminals – AC

The panel requires a 16.5VAC, 40VA transformer. Connect the
transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the
transformer to these terminals.

The panel can be programmed to accept a power line fre­quency of either 50Hz AC or 60Hz AC in programming section
[701], option [1].

NOTE:Do no t conn ec t the tr a nsf ormer until all ot her wiring is
complete.

Auxiliary Power Terminals – AUX+ and AUX-

These terminals provide up to 550 mA of additional current at
12 VDC for devices requiring power. Connect the positive side
of any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal, the nega­tive side to AUX- (ground). The AUX output is protected. This
means that if too much current is drawn from these terminals
(such as a wiring short), the panel will temporarily shut off the
output until the problem is corrected.

Bell Output Terminals – BELL+ and BELL-

These terminals provide up to 700 mA of continuous current at
12 V

DC for powering bells, sirens, strobes or other warning-

type equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm warn­ing device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. Please note
that the Bell output is protected: if too much current is drawn
from these terminals (such as a wiring short), the Bell PTC will
open. Three amps can be drawn for short periods only.
The Bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning devices are
in use, connect a 1000Ω resistor across BELL+ and BELL– to
prevent the panel from displaying a trouble condition. For
more information, please refer to

“[*][2] Trouble Display”

on

page 9).

Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, GRN

The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with mod­ules and vice versa. Each module has four Keybus terminals
that must be connected to the four Keybus terminals on the
panel. For more information, see section 2.3

“Keybus Opera-

tion and Wiring”

on page 4.

4

Programmable Output Terminals – PGM1 and PGM2

Each PGM output is designed so that when activated by the
panel, the terminal will switch to ground

PGM1 can sink up to 300mA of
current. Connect the positive
side of the LED or buzzer to
AUX+, the negative side to
PGM1. If more than 300 mA of
current are required, a relay
must be used. PGM2 operates
similarly to PGM1. However,
PGM2 can only sink up to
50mA of current.

Please study PGM wiring in
the accompanying diagram.
For a list of the programmable
output options, please see
section 5.11

“PGM Output

Options”

on page 21.

Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z6

Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device be con­nected to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices to a
single zone, however, is possible. For zone wiring specifics,
please see section 2.8

“Zone Wiring”

on page 5.

Telephone Connection Terminals – TIP, RING, T-1, R-1

If a telephone line is required for central station communica­tion or downloading, connect an RJ-31X telephone jack in the
following manner:

NOTE:Please ensure that all pl ugs and jacks meet the dimen­sion, tolerance and metallic plating requirements of 47 C.F.R.
Part 68, SubPar t F. For proper operation, no other telephone
equipment should be connec te d betwe en th e contro l pa nel and
the telephone company facilities. Do not connect the alarm
panel communicator to telephone lines intended for use with a
fax machine. These lines may incorporate a voice filter which
disconnects the line if anything other than fax signals are
detected, resulting in incomplete transmiss io ns.

2.3 Keybus Operation and Wiring

The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with all con­nected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and black
(AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the yellow
(YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data respec­tively.

NOTE: The four Keybus terminals of the panel must be con­nected to the four Keybus terminals or wires of all modules.

The following restrictions apply to Keybus wiring:

• Keybus should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad
(0.5mm); two pair twist is preferred.

• The modules should be home-run to the panel but can be
connected in series or T-tapped.

• Any module can be connected anywhere along the Key­bus. You do not need to run a separate Keybus wire for
keypads, etc.

• No module can be more than 1,000'/305m (in wire length)
from the panel.

• Shielded wire should not be used.

Example of Keybus Wiring

NOTE:
Module (A) is correctly

wired within 1,000'/
305m of wire from the
panel.
Module (B) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/
305m of wire from the
panel.
Module (C) is NOT wired correctly as it is further than 1,000'/
305m from the panel, in wire distance.

Please read the manufacturer’s literature carefully to deter­mine the maximum current requirements for each device—
during activation or alarm—and include the proper values for
loading calculations. Connected devices must not exceed
system capabilities during any possible operational mode.

2.5 Keypad Assignment

There are eight available slots for keypads. LED keypads by
default are always assigned to slot 1. LCD5500Z keypads are
always assigned to slot 8. You will need to assign each key­pad to its own slot (1 to 8). Keypad assignment is required, as
it tells the panel which slots are occupied. The panel can then
generate a fault when a keypad supervisory is not present.

NOTE: One LCD keypad must be assigned to slot 8 in order to
upload keypad programming using DLS-1 so ftware.

NOTE: PC5509 keypads are always assigned to slot 1. They
cannot be reprogrammed.

How to Assign Keypads

Do the following at each keypad installed on the system:

1. Enter [*][8][installer’s code] to go to installer programming

2. Enter [000] for Keypad Programming

Getting Started: 2.6 Supervision

5

3. Enter [0] for Slot Assignment

4. Enter a two digit number (11-18) to specify which supervi­sory slot the keypad will occupy.

5. Press [#] twice to exit installer programming.

After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset by
entering section [902] in installer’s programming. The panel
will now supervise all assigned keypads and enrolled modules
on the system.

How to Program Function Keys

By default, the 5 function keys on each keypad are pro­grammed as Stay Arm (03), Away Arm (04), Chime (06), Sen­sor Reset (14) and Quick Exit (16). You can change the
function of each key on every keypad:

1. Go to the keypad where you want to change the function
key programming and enter Installer Programming.

2. Press [000] for Keypad Programming.

3. Enter [1] to [5] to select a function key to program.

4. Enter the 2 digit number, [00] to [17] to select the feature
you want the function key to have. For a complete list of
Function Key options see section 3.5

“Function Keys”

on

page 11.

5. Continue from step 3 until all function keys are pro­grammed.

6. To exit Installer Programming, press [#] twice.

2.6 Supervision

By default, all modules are supervised upon installation.
Supervision is enabled at all times so that the panel can indi­cate a trouble if a module is removed from the system.
To check which modules are currently connected and super­vised, enter programming section [903] from installer’s pro­gramming. The LCD keypad will allow you to scroll through the
display of connected modules. A connected module which
does not show as being present will appear as a trouble con­dition and the Trouble light on the keypad will turn ON. This
condition may be due to one or more of the following reasons:

• the module is not connected to the Keybus

• there is a Keybus wiring problem

• the module is more than 1,000'/305m from the panel

• the module does not have enough power

For more information regarding module supervision troubles,
please refer to

“[*][2] Trouble Display”

on page 9.

2.7 Removing Modules

The panel must be instructed to no longer supervise a module
being removed from the system. To remove the module, dis­connect it from the Keybus and reset the supervision field by
entering [902] in the installer’s programming. The panel will be
reset to recognize and supervise all existing modules on the
system.

2.8 Zone Wiring

For a complete description of the operation of all zone types,
please refer to 5.2

“Zone Programming”

on page 15.

There are several different ways in which zones may be wired,
depending on which programming options have been
selected. The panel can be programmed to supervise nor­mally closed, End of Line, or Double End of Line loops. Please
refer to the following diagrams to study each type of individu­ally supervised zone wiring.

NOTE:An y z one pro gr am med for Fire or 24 Hour Supervisory
must be wired with a single End of Line (EOL) resistor regard­less of the type of zone wiring supervision selected for the

panel (section [013]: [1] -[2]). See 5.2 “Zone Programming” on
page 15.

NOTE:If y ou chang e the zone supervision options from DEOL
to EOL or from NC to DEOL (section [013], options [1] or [2]),
you should power down the system completely, and then
power it back up. If you do not, the zones may not work cor­rectly.

Normally Closed (NC) Loops

To enable normally closed loops, programming section [013],
option [1] must be ON.

NOTE:This option shou ld only be select ed if Normally Closed
(NC) detection devices or contacts are being used.

Single End Of Line (EOL) Resistors (5600Ω)

To enable panel detection of single end of line resistors, pro­gramming section [013], options [1] and [2] must be OFF.

NOTE:This option shoul d be selected if e ither Normally Closed
(NC) or Normally Open (NO) detection devices or contacts are
being used.

Double End of Line (DEOL) Resistors

Double End of Line resistors allow the panel to determine if the
zone is in alarm, tampered or faulted.

To enable panel detection of double end of line resistors, pro­gramming section [013], option [1] must be OFF and option
[2] must be ON.

NOTE: If the Do ub le EOL su pervision o ption is en ab led, all
hardwire zones on the main panel must be wired for Double
EOL resistors, except for Fire and 24 Hour Supervisory zones.

NOTE:Do not wire DEOL resistors on keypad zones.
NOTE: Do not use DEOL resistors f o r Fir e z ones o r 24 Hour

Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones to keypad zone ter­minals if the DEOL supervision option is sel e cted.

6

NOTE: Thi s option can only be sele cted if Normally Clo sed
(NC) detection devices or contacts are being used.

NOTE:Only one NC contact can be connected to each zone.
Wiring multiple detection devices or contacts on a single loop
is not allowed.

The following chart shows zone status under certain condi­tions:

Loop Resistance Loop Status

2.9 Fire Zone Wiring

NOTE:4-Wire Smoke Detectors

All fire zones must be wired according to the following dia­gram:

2.10 24-Hr Auxiliary Input Wiring (PGM2)

If PGM2 has been programmed for 24-hour operation, the
zone must be wired according to the following diagram:

NOTE:If PGM2 is pro­grammed for 24-Hr Auxil­iary Input support, the
connector JP1 on the
main board must be
removed.

2.11 LINKS Zone Wiring

LINKS Support

When using the LINKS1000
cellular communicator, con­nect the LINKS to the main
panel according to the fol­lowing diagram:

LINKS Supervision (24 Hour Supervisory)

When using the
LINKS1000 cellular com­municator, any main board
zone may be configured
for LINKS Supervision. Pro­gram this zone as zone
type [09], 24 Hour Supervi­sory in section [001].
With a LINKS Supervisory
zone, if the LINKS1000
experiences a trouble, the
zone will be violated, caus­ing the panel to report the
event to the central station.
This type of zone always
requires a single EOL
resistor (5600Ω).

Wire this zone according to the above diagram.

LINKS Answer

When using the LINKS1000
cellular communicator, any
main board zone may be
configured for LINKS
Answer.
A zone configured for
LINKS Answer allows
downloading to be per­formed in the event of tele­phone line failure. When
the LINKS receives a tele­phone call, it will activate
the RING terminal on the
LINKS circuit board. The
zone programmed as
LINKS Answer always
requires a single EOL resis­tor (5600Ω).

Wire the LINKS Answer zone according to the above diagram.

NOTE: The LINKS Answer zone is only required for download­ing to the panel via the LINKS.

NOTE: When using the LINKS, Busy Tone Detection must not
be used.

NOTE: Keypad zones cannot be used for 24 Hour Supervisory
or LINKS Answer.

2.12 Keypad Zones

Each “z” keypad on the system has a zone input to which a
device - such as a door contact - can be connected. This
eliminates the need to run wires back to the control panel for
every device.
To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic by removing the
screw at the bottom of the unit. Locate the five terminals on
the keypad circuit board. Connect the four Keybus wires from
the control panel: the red wire to R, the black to B, the yellow
to Y and the green to G.

To connect the zone, run one wire to the Z terminal and the
other to B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply
power to the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) termi­nal and the black wire to the B (negative) terminal.
When using end of line supervision, connect the zone accord­ing to one of the configurations outlined in section

2.8 “Zone

Getting Started: 2.12 Keypad Zones

7

Wiring”

. End of line resistors must be placed on the device

end of the loop, not at the keypad.

NOTE: K eypad zones do not support DEOL resistors.

Assigning Keypad Zones

When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be
assigned a zone number in Installer’s Programming.
First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into
the desired slots. (See 2.5

“Keypad Assignment”

on page 4.)
Next, enter programming section [020] to assign the zones.
There are eight programming locations in this section, one for
each keypad slot. Enter a 2-digit zone number for each of the
keypad zones. This number must be entered in the location
corresponding to the keypad to which each zone is con­nected.
Example: The zone on an LCD5500Z keypad in slot 8 is to be
assigned zone 3. In section [020], scroll to option [8] and
enter (03).

NOTE:K e ypad zones 1-6 will replac e zone terminal s Z1-Z6 on
the control panel.

NOTE: Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also
program zone definitions and zone attributes. (See also 5.4
“Assigning Keypad Zones” on page 17).

Section 3: Keypad Commands

Use any system keypad to enter commands and/or program
the PC1565 security system. The LED keypad uses function
and zone indicator lights to represent alarm functions and sta­tus. If you have a PC1555RKZ keypad, the System light acts
as a Trouble, Memory, Program and Bypass indicator. Unlike
other LED keypads, these conditions will only be represented
by the System light.
The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid
crystal display and uses function indicator lights to communi­cate alarm status to the user.
The PC1565 Instruction Manual provides basic directions for
arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and per­forming user functions from the keypads. The following sec­tions provide additional details on these functions.

3.1 Arming and Disarming

For a description of basic arming and disarming, please see
the PC1565 Instruction Manual. For other methods of arming,
please refer to

“[*][0] Quick Arm”, “[*][9] Arming Without Entry

Delay”

and 3.5

“Function Keys”

on page 11.

NOTE: The event buffer will log “Armed in Stay Mode” or
“Armed in Awa y Mode” wh en ever the system is armed.

In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault
will notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their sys­tem. If a non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left
open at the end of the exit delay, the entry delay will begin
immediately and the bell or siren will sound a steady alarm for
the entry delay period. At the end of the entry delay period, if
the system has not been disarmed it will go into alarm. This
feature can be turned OFF in programming section [013],
option [6]. (See 5.17

“Arming/Disarming Options”

on page

24.)

3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming

Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without leaving
the premises. All zones programmed as stay/away will be
bypassed when the user stay arms the system, so that the
user does not have to bypass interior zones manually. (See

5.2

“Zone Programming”

on page 15.)
When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any
zones on the system have been programmed as stay/away
zones, the Bypass light will turn ON. The panel will then moni­tor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such
as designated entry/exit doors. If a delay zone is not violated
by the end of the exit delay, the panel will bypass all stay/away
zones. The Bypass light will remain on to inform the user that
the interior zones have been automatically bypassed by the
panel. If a delay zone is violated during the exit delay, the sys­tem will arm in Away mode and all stay/away zones will be
active after the exit delay expires.
The user can arm the stay/away zones at any time by entering
the [*][1] keypad command. (See

“[*][1] Bypassing and Acti-

vating Stay/Away Zones”

on page 8.)

Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the
Stay function key for two seconds on the PC5508Z and
LCD5500Z keypads, if programmed by the installer. For more
information regarding Stay arming, please see 3.5

“Function

Keys”

on page 11.

3.3 Automatic Arming

The system can be programmed to Auto-Arm at a specific
time every day if it is in the disarmed condition. In order for the
Auto-Arm function to work properly, you must program the cor­rect Time of Day. For programming the clock and auto-arm
times, see

“[*][6] User Functions”

on page 10.
When the system’s internal clock matches the Auto-Arm Time,
the panel will check the system status. If the system is armed,
the panel will do nothing until the next day at the auto-arm
time, when it will check the system again. If the system is dis­armed at the auto-arm time, the panel will sound the buzzer of
all keypads for one minute. If the Bell Squawk During Auto
Arm option is enabled (section [014], option [2]), the bell will
squawk once every 10 seconds while the system is auto-arm­ing. If a valid access code is entered, auto-arming will be
aborted.

NOTE: If auto-arm is canc elled , th e nu mber o f th e user who
cancelled the auto-arm will be logged in the event b uffer.

If no code is entered, the panel will auto-arm. If a zone is vio­lated, the panel will transmit a Partial Closing Reporting Code
– if programmed – to indicate to the central station that the
system is not secure. If the zone is restored, the panel will add
the zone back into the system.

NOTE: Auto arming can only be cancelled by entering a valid
access code at any keypad.

3.4 [*] Commands

The [*] key commands provide an easy way for the user to
access basic system programming – such as programming
access codes or bypassing zones. The user can also use the
[*] key commands to check on the system’s status, including
viewing trouble conditions and displaying the event buffer on
the LCD keypad.

The [*] key commands can be performed from both LCD and
LED keypads. The LED keypad uses the zone indicator lights
to display command information. The LCD display provides
written information, guiding the user through each command.
The commands in this section are explained as viewed from
an LED keypad. When using an LCD keypad, use the arrow
keys (< >) to scroll through information provided. Otherwise,
the functions remain the same for both keypad types.

[*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones

Use the [*][1] keypad command to bypass individual zones. A
bypassed zone will not cause an alarm.

NOTE: Zones can only be b ypa ssed when th e sys tem is not
armed.

If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled (section
[015], option [5]), only access codes with the bypass attribute
enabled will be able to bypass zones. (See 5.1

“Programming

Security Codes”

on page 15.)

If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is cho-
sen, the Bypass (or System) light will be ON while the system
is armed to indicate any bypassed zones. (See 5.17

“Arming/

Disarming Options”

on page 24.)

NOTE: When you disarm the s ystem, all man ually -bypa ssed
zones will be unbypassed.

Keypad Commands: 3.4 [*] Commands

9

Activate Stay/Away Zones

If the system is armed in stay mode, the [*][1] command can
be used to activate the stay/away zones.

[*][2] Trouble Display

The panel constantly monitors itself for several different trou­ble conditions. If a trouble condition is present, the Trouble (or
System) light will be on and the keypad will beep twice every
10 seconds. The trouble beep can be silenced by pressing
any key on any keypad. If Bell Squa wk on Trouble is enabled
(section [014], option [5]), the bell will squawk every 10 sec­onds when a trouble condition is present.

To view trouble conditions from an LED keypad:

1. Press [*][2].

2. The keypad will flash the Trouble (or System) light. The
zone indicator lights corresponding to the present trouble
conditions will be ON.

When using an LCD keypad, the trouble conditions will be
listed on the display. Use the arrow (< >) keys to scroll through
the list of present trouble conditions.

NOTE:Troubles can be viewe d while armed using the LCD k e y ­pad, provided the keypad is version 2.0 or later. Older keypads
will incorrectly display “Fire Trouble”. If using older LCD key­pads, progr amming se ction [01 3], opt ion [3] as OF F will ensure
troubles are displayed correctly.

The various troubles are described below:

[*][3] Alarm Memory

The Memory (or System) light will be on if any alarm occurred
during the last armed period or – in the case of 24 hour zones
– if an alarm occurred while the panel was disarmed.
To view alarm memory, press [*][3]. The keypad will flash the
Memory (or System) light and the zone indicator lights corre­sponding to the alarm or tamper conditions which occurred
during or since the last armed period. To clear the Memory (or
System) light, arm and disarm the system.

[*][4] Door Chime On/Off

The door chime feature is used to sound a tone from the key­pad whenever a zone programmed as a chime zone is acti­vated. (See 5.3

“Zone Attributes”

on page 16.) If the door
chime feature is enabled, the keypad will emit five short beeps
whenever a chime zone is activated. Designated entry/exit
doors are often defined as chime zones. The feature can be
turned on or off while the system is armed or disarmed.
