INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a DSC PC2000 Burglar Alarm Control
system. The PC2000 has been designed to give you the greatest possible
flexibility and convenience in the use of your security system. This booklet is
intended to serve as a handy reference and should be kept in a secure place.
Your security system consists of a number of different components. One
component is the DSC PC2000 control panel which will be mounted out of the
way in a utility room or basement. In addition to the main control electronics, the
control panel contains the standby battery and system fuses. There is normally
no reason for the user to have to access the control panel. The system also has
one or more keypads which will be mounted in convenient areas close to the
exit-entry doors. The keypads provide complete information about, and control
of, the security system. The security system has up to eight zones or areas of
protection. Each zone will be connected to one or more detection sensors such
as door or window contacts, motion detectors, glass break detectors or
vibration or shock sensors. The keypad zone lights are on when any sensor is
activated. The label provided for the inside of the keypad door can be used to
record which sensors are on each zone.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Digital Security Controls Ltd recommends that you read this manual carefully
and become familiar with the operation of your security system. Check with the
installing company to see which commands listed in this manual apply to your
particular security system. Fill out the system reference sheet and store this
booklet in a secure place for future reference.
It is important to test your system on a regular basis. To do this, first inform the
monitoring station that you are testing your system. Then, with the system
disarmed, activate all detection sensors one at a time and observe the zone
light come on at the keypad as each sensor is activated. Perform a bell test by
using the
installation to automatically perform a test transmission to the monitoring station
on a regular basis. If this has not been done, check with the monitoring station
for instructions on how to perform a test transmission.

MASTER CODE
The master security code is a 4 digit code which is supplied at the time of
installation. The master code is entered from the keypad and is used for arming
and disarming the security system, for programming additional security codes
and for changing other features. All keypad entries are made by pressing only
one key at a time, with exception of
“KEYPAD ZONE”
activation.
z
ARMING
Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by
motion detectors. If ‘SHUNT’ light is on, be sure zones are being intentionally
by-passed before arming the system (see ZONE BY-PASSING). Check to see
that the ‘READY’ light is on (all zones are closed). The system cannot be
armed unless the ‘READY’ light is on. Enter a [4 digit security code]. As each
digit is entered the keypad sounder will beep. The ‘ARMED’ light will come on
and the keypad sounder will beep quickly. If the security code was entered
incorrectly or the ‘READY’ light was not on, the keypad sounder wilt beep
steadily for 2 seconds. When the correct code is entered and the system is
armed, exit the premise through the designated exit-entry door. At the end of
the allowed exit time all lights on the keypad will go out except the ‘ARMED’
light. See the “PROGRAMMING OTHER SYSTEM FEATURES” section for
instructions on how to change the allowed exit time. Also see, QUICK-ARM
and AUTO-ARM.
DISARMING
Enter the premise through the designated exit-entry door. The keypad sounder
will be on. Go to the keypad and enter the [4 digit security code]. If an error is
made in entering the code, press the
[#]
key and enter the code again. The
‘ARMED’ light will go out and the keypad sounder will stpp. The correct security
code must be entered before the allowed entry time expires. To change the
entry time see “PROGRAMMING OTHER SYSTEM FEATURES”. If an alarm
occured
while the panel was armed, the ‘MEMORY’ light and the ‘ZONE’ light
which caused the alarm will start to flash and stay flashing for 30 seconds.

ZONE BY-PASSING (SHUNTING)
Shunted zones do not cause an alarm. Use zone shunting when access is
needed to part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a
zone may be temporarily shunted until repairs can be made so that the panel
can be armed.
To shunt zones, enler

The ‘SHUNT’ light is on as long as at least one zone is shunted. Do not

panel is disarmed.

AUTO-TEST TRANSMISSION
The PC2000 can be programmed, at the time of installation, to send a test code
to the monitoring station at regular intervals. The frequency and time of test
transmissions is set by the monitoring station and should not be changed
without their knowledge.
DURESS CODE
The duress code feature must be programmed into the PC2000 at the time of
installation. When the duress code is used instead of a normal security code for
disarming, the system disarms as normal but a special duress code is sent to
the monitoring station. A duress code is created by adding 1 to the last digit of
any valid security code. When the duress code feature is used, the master
security code and the programmed security codes must not end in a 9. Also.
avoid programming a new security code which is the same number as another
duress code. This may cause a duress code to be transmitted when the new
code is used.
Example: if normal security code is

KEYPAD ZONES
There are two zones which can be activated from the keypad. One keypad
zone is activated by pressing the
siren/bell output from this zone pulses on and off. This zone is annunciated by
the ‘ZONE 7’ light on the keypad. The other keypad zone is activated by
pressing the
alarm. There is no bell/siren signal and there is no annunciation from the
keypad. The only action is the transmission of a silent alarm code to the
monitoring station. Labels are included with the PC2000 keypad to identify the
two keypad zones.
