About Your Security System

Your DSC Power832 Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's 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 with all of you zone information and access codes 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 NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). 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, you must test your system weekly. Please refer to “Testing Your System” on page 13 of this manual. If your system does not function properly, call your installing company for service.

Monitoring

This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the monitoring station to prevent an unnecessary response.

NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.

General System Operation

Your security system is made up of a DSC Power832 control panel, one or more Power832 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 service professional to have access to the control panel.

All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group of zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).

The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The keypad(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 be connected to one or more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm will be indicated by the corresponding zone lights flashing on a LED keypad or by written messages on the LCD keypad.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –

your 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.	1

Access Codes

Access Codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 33 access codes available: one Master Code and 32 access codes.

Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.

All access codes can be programmed by following the procedure outlined in “Programming Security Codes” on page 7.

NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer has programmed your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.

Arming the System

Arming from an LED Keypad:

If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, 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 and the system is in the Ready state.

Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for two seconds. If this occurs, press the [#] key and re-enter your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder will beep quickly and the Armed light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit/Entry door.

The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises without causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, will turn OFF and the system will be armed. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.

Arming from an LCD Keypad:

Progress

When this message appears, one or more zones are not secured. To secure the system, close all doors and windows and cease all motion in areas covered by motion detectors.

When this message appears, use the arrow (< >) keys to verify that the system is clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed unintentionally (see “Viewing Trouble Conditions” on page 12 and “Zone Bypassing” on page 11).

If this display is showing, the system is in the Ready state and may be fully armed. To arm the system, enter your access code.

Once the correct access code has been entered, the display will be as shown. The panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises without causing an alarm. Exit through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit/Entry door.

Enter Code to Disarm System

* WARNING *

Bypass Active

This message will be displayed once the exit delay expires and the system is fully armed.

If this message appears, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see “Zone Bypassing” on page 11). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone bypassed or with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.

Alternate Arming Methods

Away Arming

Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed.

Audible Exit Fault

In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm the system, and then follow the arming procedure again, making sure to exit the premises in the proper fashion.

Stay Arming

This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the interior zones inactive so that you can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When you enter your security code to arm the system and do not exit the premises through a designated Exit/ Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode, automatically bypassing the interior zones.

The interior zones can be reactivated at any time by entering [ ][1] at any keypad. If you reactivate the interior zones, be sure to only inhabit areas not covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected by motion sensors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system.

Arming Without Entry Delay

If you wish to arm your system without the entry delay, enter [ ][9] then 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.

Quick Arm

When the Quick Arm feature is enabled, the system may be armed by simply pressing [ ][0] instead of your access code. Please note that pressing [ ][0] will only allow you to arm the system; to disarm, you must enter a valid access code. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Arm feature has been enabled on your system.

Auto Arming

Your system can be programmed to automatically arm itself according to a programmed schedule. Auto arming is programmed by partition. Thus, all auto arm programming must be performed from a keypad assigned to the partition you wish to program.

To program the auto arm time, enter [ ][6] followed by your master code. Press [3]. Enter the time using the military format (HH MM).

To enable or disable the auto arm feature, enter [ ][6] followed by your master code. Press [2] to either enable or disable the feature. The keypad will beep 3 times if the feature is ON and once if it is OFF.

NOTE: The correct system time and date must be programmed in order for the auto arm feature to function properly. Please see “Setting the System Date and Time” on page 13 for instructions.

Disarming the System

Disarming from an LED Keypad:

Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.

The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry delay time may be changed by your installer.

If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the Memory light and the zone light corresponding to the zone which caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. After the 30 second period, the Memory light and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Ready state. Pressing the [#] key during the 30 second period will cancel the alarm memory display. To view other alarms, press [ ][3].

If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON (See “Viewing Trouble Conditions” on page 12 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles will not display while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.

Disarming from an LCD Keypad:

Upon entering through a designated Exit/Entry door, the keypad will beep and the entry delay will commence, reminding you to disarm the system. The keypad will display the following message...

Upon disarming and if a trouble is present, this message will be displayed. Use the arrow (< >) keys to view which troubles are affecting the system (see “Viewing Trouble Conditions” on page 12).

NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's house, and call the local police to investigate.

The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.
