Incidence of Harm

Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify the customer that
temporary disconnection of service may be required; however, where prior notice is
not practicable, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service if such
action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly notify the customer and will
be given the opportunity to correct the situation.

Additional Telephone Company Information

The security control panel must be properly connected to the telephone line with a
USOC RJ-31X telephone jack.

The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to party
lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Inter-connect rules
may vary from state to state.

Changes in Telephone Company Equipment of Facilities

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required
and proper in its business. Should any such changes render the customer’s terminal
equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be
given adequate notice to the effect modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number
is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you
may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company.

Equipment Maintenance Facility

If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact the facility
indicated below for information on obtaining service or repairs. Do not return
equipment to this address without prior authorization. The telephone company may
ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM

The PC2500 Security System has been designed to give you the greatest
possible flexibility and convenience. Read this manual carefully and become
familiar with the operation of your Security System. Your installer will tell you
which commands listed in this manual apply to your system. Fill out the SYSTEM
REFERENCE sheet in this manual and store it in a safe place for future reference.
The label provided for the inside of the keypad door can be used to record which
sensors are on each zone.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. It is
only intended to alert you in case of an emergency and should not
take the place of prudent security practices or life and property
insurance.

It is important to test your system every week. 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
entering [∗],[6],[Master Code],[8] with the system disarmed. The PC2500 can be
programmed at the time of installation to automatically perform a test transmission
to the monitoring station on a regular basis. If the system has not been
programmed for this automatic test, call the monitoring station for instructions on
how to perform a test transmission. Don’t forget to inform the monitoring station
when you have finished your test.

Check to see if the “Trouble” light is on when arming the system. See the Trouble
Display section in this manual for a description of the different trouble conditions.
Contact your installer for assistance if the trouble condition cannot be located and
corrected.

HOW YOUR SYSTEM WORKS

Your Security System is made up of a control panel, one or more keypads, and
various detectors and sensors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way
in a utility room or basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics,
fuses and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the
installer to have access to the control panel. The keypad(s) have an audible
indicator, display lights and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send
commands to the system and to display the current system status. Keypads are
mounted in convenient areas close to the exit-entry doors. The security system
has up to eight zones or areas of protection. Each zone used will have
connected to it various sensors, such as door or window contacts, motion
detectors, glassbreak detectors and vibration or shock sensors. When a sensor
is in alarm, a keypad light will be on to indicate which zone is in alarm.

MASTER CODE

The 4 digit Master Code is used for arming and disarming the system, for
programming additional access codes, and for changing other features. The
Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad entries are
made by pressing one key at a time and may be changed by you at any time if
the installer selects an option. For additional access codes, see Programming
Additional Access Codes.

ARMING

Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by
motion detectors. If the “Bypass” light is ON, be sure zones are being
intentionally bypassed before arming the system (see Zone Bypassing).

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 access code].
As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. Once the correct access
code is entered, the “Armed” light will come ON and the keypad sounder will
beep quickly. If the access code was entered incorrectly or the “Ready” light was
not ON, the keypad sounder will beep steadily for 2 seconds.

When the correct access code is entered and the system is armed, exit through
the door indicated by your installer as the exit-entry door. The exit time may be
changed by your installer (please refer to the Quick-Arm feature).

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
if those interior zones have been designated as home-away zones by the installer.
When activated, the “Bypass” light will come ON. If you exit within the allowed
exit time, the system will automatically reactivate the interior zones. This feature is
designed to save the user 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 outside the interior zones protection area (e.g. a bedroom). To reactivate
the interior zones, press [∗] then [1] and the “Bypass” light will go out.

ENTRY DELAY OFF ARMING

If you wish to arm your system and eliminate the entry delay, enter [∗],[9] before
your access code. The “Armed” light will flash as a reminder that the system is
armed and has no entry delay. An entry through any zone programmed as a
delay zone will create an instant alarm.

e.g. To arm without entry delay.....Press [

],[9],[Access Code]
