INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully before operating your security system. Have your installer instruct you on
system operation, and have your installer inform you of the features that have been enabled on your
system. All users of the system should be instructed in its use. Complete the System Information page and
store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Test Your System Regularly
To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, it is important that you test your system
weekly. Refer to the “Testing Your System” section of this manual, and read and follow the instructions
carefully. If your system does not function properly or if you have any questions about testing your system,
call your installing company for service or assistance.
Important Notice
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you 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
inform you of the level of protection that has been provided, and instruct you on system
operations.
Glossary
Your DSC PC500 Security System has been designed to offer advanced security features and simple,
straight-forward operation. Described here are some terms that are used throughout this manual to explain
the operation of your system.
Keypad: Your system features one or more PC500RK Keypads. The keypad is used to enter commands to
operate the system, and to view operating information about the system. Information about the system is
displayed on the Zone Lights, labelled 1 through 4. The keypad also features three System Status lights:
“Ready”, “Armed” and “System”. Commands are entered on the keypad by pressing one key at a time.
Master Code: The Master Code is a 4-digit code used to arm and disarm the system, to program Access
Codes, and to bypass zones. Normally only one person should know the Master Code.
Access Codes: Three Access Codes are available to allow users to arm and disarm the system and to
bypass zones. Each person should keep their 4-digit Access Code secret to ensure system security.
Entry Delay: The Entry Delay is the period of time allowed for someone to enter the premises and disarm
the system.
Exit Delay: The Exit Delay is the period of time allowed for someone to leave the premises after they have
entered an Access Code to arm the system.
Entry-Exit Door or Zone: The Entry-Exit Door or Zone is the door or zone designated by your installer to
be used for entering and leaving the premises when the system is armed.
Zone: A Zone is an area that is protected by a security device. For example, a room protected by a motion
detector may be “Zone 1”, while a window protected by a magnetic contact may be “Zone 2”. Your
installer will inform you of where zones have been set up on your system.

BASIC OPERATION
Arming Your System
Before arming the system, close all protected doors and windows, and stop movement in areas protected
by motion detectors. When all zones are closed, all of the Zone Lights on the keypad will be OFF, and the
“Ready” light will be ON.
To arm the system, enter a 4-digit Access Code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep.
When the Access Code has been entered, the “Armed” light will come ON and the keypad will beep 6
times. If an incorrect Access Code is entered, the keypad will sound a single long tone. To correct a
mistake when entering a code, press the [#] Key and enter the Access Code again.
When the “Armed” light comes ON, leave the premises through the designated Entry-Exit door before the
Exit Delay expires. At the end of the Exit Delay, all lights on the keypad will be shut OFF except for the
“Armed” light - your system is now armed.
The factory setting for the Exit Delay is 120 seconds; your installer may change this time to suit your needs.
Refer to the “Arming Options” section of this manual for information on other arming functions.
Disarming Your System
Enter the premises through the designated Entry-Exit door. The keypad will sound a constant tone to
indicate that the system must be disarmed.
Go to the keypad and enter an Access Code. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] Key and
enter the code again.
When a correct Access Code is entered, the “Armed” light will be shut OFF, and the sounder will be
silenced - your system is now disarmed.
An Access Code must be entered before the Entry Delay expires or an alarm will sound. The factory
setting for the Entry Delay is 30 seconds; your installer may change this time to suit your needs.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the “System” light and the Zone Lights of the zones that
went into alarm will FLASH for two minutes. Press the [#] Key to cancel the flashing display and return the
keypad to the “Ready” mode. Refer to “Display Alarm Memory” for instructions on displaying the zones
that went into alarm.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you return to the premises and find that an alarm is in progress or that there
are alarms in memory, do not enter the premises as an intruder may be present. Go to a neighbour
and contact the local authorities from there.
Silencing an Alarm
If the system goes into alarm and the bell or siren is sounding, the alarm may be silenced by entering an Access
Code on the keypad.

important that all users of the system know that the [

before the [
