About Your Security System
Your DSC security equipment 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 your 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
N.F.P.A. standard #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 will work.
Testing
To insure that your system continues to work 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 work properly, call
your installing company for service.
Monitoring
This system is capable of sending 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: Your installer must enable the monitoring feature before it will work.
General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more 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 protected areas (zones) and each of these 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 an LED keypad or by a fixed message 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.

Access Codes
Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 37 access codes available: 1 master
code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 supervision codes. Ask your installer for more
information on using the duress and supervision 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 or Fixed Message LCD5501Z 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 one second. 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. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away
button before the exit delay expires. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.
Arming from an LCD Keypad:
One of the following messages may appear when you attempt to arm your system:
One or more zones are not secured. To secure the system, close all doors and
