*XLGHOLQHVIRU/RFDWLQJ6PRNH&2'HWHFWRUV
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when
locating and installing smoke and CO alarms.
6PRNH'HWHFWRUV
Research indicates that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Detectable quantities of smoke precede
detectable levels of heat in most cases. Smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
DSC recommends that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be installed. Additional areas that
should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and
any hallways not protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling
height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S55302 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.
•Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; dead air space in these locations may prevent smoke detection.
•Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector may prevent
smoke from entering the unit.
•Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
•Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38
•Smoke detectors should always be installed in accordance with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code. Smoke detectors should
always be located in accordance with:
“Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each addi-
tional storey of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a
smoke detector shall also be installed in each sleeping room.” Split level arrangement: Smoke detectors are required where shown.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living room and recreation room.

&2'HWHFWRUV
CO gas moves freely in the air. The human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during
sleeping hours. For maximum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside primary sleeping
areas or on each level of your home. Figure 5 indicates the suggested locations in the home. The
electronic sensor detects carbon monoxide, measures the concentration and sounds a loud alarm
before a potentially harmful level is reached.
Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:
•Where the temperature may drop below -10ºC or exceed 40 ºC.
•Near paint thinner fumes.
•Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of open flame appliances such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces.
•In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys.
•Do not place in close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage the detector.

WARNING - READ CAREFULLY
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the
users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may
not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these
reasons may be:
• Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access
points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials
must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation
by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
• Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which
reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or
replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
• Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a
warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
• Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries,
it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power,
any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage
fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to
ensure that the system operates as intended.
• Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device
environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life.
While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing
and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
• Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent
radio signal interference.
• System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity
with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system
indicates an alarm.

be revised from time to time, will be charged for each unit repaired.
Products which Digital Security Controls determines not to be repairable will be replaced by the nearest equivalent product available at that time. The current market price of
the replacement product will be charged for each replacement unit.
• Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been
improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed
doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide
timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials,
overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
• Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and
intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed
areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of
tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system
will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above
body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves,
barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
• Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located
on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other
noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a
hearing-impaired person.
• Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation
by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
• Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the
warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
• Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
• Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested
weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
•Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other
occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
(f) Termination - Without prejudice to any other rights, DSC may terminate this EULA if You fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA.
In such event, You must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and all of its component parts.

Step 1: Creating a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the building to get an idea of where all
alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are to be
located.
Step 2: Mounting the Panel
Begin the installation by mounting additional modules in the
cabinet using the stand-offs provided. Then, mount the cabinet
in a dry, protected area close to an unswitched AC power source
and the incoming telephone line. Before attaching the cabinet to
the wall, be sure to press the four circuit board mounting studs
into the cabinet from the back. After you have attached the cabinet to the wall, stick the provided DSC logo sticker on the front
of the cabinet.
Note: You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery, telephone wires and/or applying AC to the panel. Before
these operations are performed, the cabinet shall be properly
secured to the building structure.
Note: The metallic cabinet door shall be locked using a key
(lock) and minimum 2 (two) screws.
Step 3: Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.4)
Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guidelines
provided in Section 2.4 Keybus Operation and Wiring.
Step 4: Zone Wiring (Section 2.8)
You must power down the control panel to complete all zone
wiring. Please refer to Section 2.9 Zone Wiring when connecting
zones using normally closed loops, single EOL resistors, double
EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming zones.
Step 5: Complete Wiring (Section 2.2)
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone
line connections, and ground connections following the guidelines provided in Section 2.2 Terminal Descriptions.
Step 6: Powering up the Control Panel
Once all zone and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the control panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the AC.
Note: Connect the battery before connecting the AC. You must
apply AC power to the panel for at least 10 seconds, or the panel
will not function. The panel will not power up on the battery
connection alone.
Step 7: Keypad Assignment (Section 2.6)
In order for keypads to be properly supervised, each must be
assigned to a different slot. Please follow the guidelines provided in Section 2.5 Current Ratings – Modules & Accessories
when assigning keypads.
Step 8: Supervision (Section 2.7)
The supervision of each module by the panel is automatically
enabled upon power up. Please verify that all modules appear on
the system according to the instructions in Section 2.6 Keypad
Assignment.
Step 9: Programming the System (Sections 4 & 5)
Section 4 Programming explains how to program the panel. Fill
out the Programming Worksheets completely before attempting
to program the system. (See Section 5 Programming Worksheets).
Step 10: Testing the System
Test the panel thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
Battery Connection
A 12V 1.2Ah, 4 Ah or 7Ah rechargeable battery is used as a
backup source of power in the event of an AC power failure.
Note: Connect the battery before connecting the AC.
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.
AC Terminals
The panel requires a 16.5VAC, 40VA transformer. Connect the
transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the transformer to these terminals.
Note: Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring is
complete. The transformer secondary wire distance is as shown
below:
AWGFeetMetres
245.81.8
229.32.8
2014.84.5
1823.57.2
Note: For UL Listed installations, do NOT connect transformer
to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
AUX+ and AUX- Auxiliary Power Terminals
These terminals provide up to 550 mA of additional current at
9.6–13.8 V
side of any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal, the
negative side to AUX- (ground). The AUX output is protected.
This means that if too much current is drawn from these terminals (such as a wiring short), the panel will temporarily shut off
the output until the problem is corrected.
Bell Output Terminals – BELL+ and BELL-
These terminals provide up to 700 mA of continuous current at
12 V
equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm warning
device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. Please note that
the Bell output is protected: if too much current is drawn from
these terminals (such as a wiring short), the panel will shut down
the output. Two amps can be drawn for short periods only.
The Bell output is supervised. If an alarm warning device is connected to the bell terminals, a termination resistor is not necessary. If no alarm warning devices are in use, connect a 1000
resistor across BELL+ and BELL– to prevent a Bell Circuit
Trouble from being generated. For more information, please
refer to[*][2]Trouble Display).
DC for devices requiring power. Connect the positive
DC for powering bells, sirens, strobes or other warning-type
PC1404
Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, GRN
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with modules
and vice versa. Each module has four Keybus terminals that
must be connected to the four Keybus terminals on the panel.
For more information, see Section 2.4 Keybus Operation and
Wiring.
Programmable Output Terminals –
PGM 1 and PGM 2
Each PGM output is designed so that when activated by the
panel, the terminal will switch to ground.
PGM 1 can provide up to 50mA. Connect the positive side of the LED or
buzzer to AUX+, the negative side to
PGM 1. PGM 2 can provide up to
300mA current-limited switched programmable output. If more than 50 mA
of current are required, a relay must be
used. Please study PGM wiring in the
accompanying diagram. Two-wire
smoke detectors (90mA current limited) are supported using PGM 2.
For a list, please see the section on
Programmable Output Options.
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z4
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the control panel. It is suggested that one detection device be connected
to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices to a single zone,
however, is possible. For zone wiring specifics, please see Section 2.9 Zone Wiring.
Telephone Line Wiring
Wire the telephone connection terminals (TIP, Ring, T-1, R-1) to
an RJ-31x Connector as indicated. For connection of multiple
devices to the telephone line, wire in the sequence indicated.
Use 26 AWG wire minimum for wiring.
Telephone format is programmed in option [350].
Telephone Call Directions are programmed in options [351][376].

Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance and metallic plating requirements of 47 C.F.R. Part 68,
SubPart F. For proper operation, no other telephone equipment
should be connected between the control panel and the telephone company facilities. Do not connect the alarm panel communicator to telephone lines intended for use with a fax
machine. These lines may incorporate a voice filter which disconnects the line if anything other than fax signals are detected,
resulting in incomplete transmissions.
2.3 Wire Routing for Power & Non-Power
Limited
All wiring entry points are designated by the arrows. All circuits
are classified power limited except for the battery leads which
are not power limited. A minimum ¼” (7mm) separation must
be maintained at all points between power limited and nonpower limited wiring and connections.
Note: Wire entry for power limited wiring must be separated by
using a different entry access from non-power limited wiring.
2.4 Keybus Operation and Wiring
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with all connected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and black
(AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the yellow
(YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data respectively.
Note: The four Keybus terminals of the panel must be connected
to the four Keybus terminals or wires of all modules.
The following restrictions apply to Keybus wiring:
•Keybus should be run in minimum 22 AWG quad (0.5mm),
maximum 18 AWG; two pair twist is preferred.
•The modules can be home-run to the panel, connected in
series or T-tapped, provided that the maximum wire distance from the control panel to any module does not exceed
1,000' (305m).
•Any module can be connected anywhere along the Keybus.
You do not need to run a separate Keybus wire for keypads,
etc.
Note: Depending on a module's current draw, there may be additional limitations of the wire run length of power and ground.
•Shielded wire should not be used.
Example of Keybus Wiring
Note: Module (A) is correctly wired within 1,000'/
305m of wire from the
panel.
Module (B) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/305m of
wire from the panel. Module (C) is NOT wired correctly as it is further than 1,000'/305m from the panel, in wire
distance.

Other Devices
Please read the manufacturer’s literature carefully to determine
the maximum current requirements for each device—during
activation or alarm—and include the proper values for loading
calculations. Connected devices must not exceed system capabilities during any possible operational mode.
2.6 Keypad Assignment
Once the wiring is complete and the keypad is fixed on the wall,
a 2-digit number must be entered to tell the system the partition
and slot assignment of the keypad. At each keypad installed on
the system
1.Enter Installer Programming by pressing [*][8][Installer
Code].
2.Press [000] for keypad programming.
3.Press [0] for Partition and Slot Assignment.
4.Enter a 2-digit number to specify the partition and slot
assignment as follows:
a) As the PC1404 does not have partitions, enter [1] for
the first digit. If the first digit is incorrectly programmed with a value greater than 1, the keypad will
not respond when connected to a single partition system (e.g. PC1404). Press and hold the 1 key on the
keypad, then re-enter section [000][0] to correct the
programming.
b) Assign each keypad to its own slot (1 to 8). LED key-
pads, the LCD5511 and the PC1404RKZ/
PC1404RKZWH keypads are always assigned to slot 1
by default. PK5500 and PTK5507 keypads are always
assigned to slot 8. Keypad assignment is required, as it
tells the panel which slots are occupied. The panel can
then generate a keypad supervision trouble when the
keypad is detected as missing.
Note: One LCD keypad must be assigned to slot 8 in
order to upload keypad programming using DLS software.
c) Press the [#] key twice to exit programming.
d) After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset
by entering [*][8][Installer Code][902]. The panel will
reset supervision and re-enroll modules on the system.
How to Program Function Keys
By default, the 5 function keys on each keypad are programmed
as Stay Arm (03), Away Arm (04), Chime (06), Sensor Reset
(14) and Quick Exit (16). You can change the function of each
key on every keypad:
1.Go to the keypad where you want to change the function
key programming and enter Installer Programming.
2.Press [000] for Keypad Programming.
3.Enter [1] to [5] to select a function key to program.
4.Enter the 2-digit number [00] to [32] to select the feature
you want the function key to have. For a complete list see
Section [000] Keypad Function Programming.
5.Continue from step 3 until all function keys are programmed.
6.To exit Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
2.7 Supervision
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation. Supervision is enabled at all times so that the panel can indicate a trouble if a module is removed from the system.
To check which modules are currently connected and supervised, enter programming Section [903] from Installer Programming. An LCD keypad will allow you to scroll through the
display of connected modules. A connected module which does
not show as being present will appear as a trouble condition and
the Trouble light on the keypad will turn ON. This condition
may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
• the module is not connected to the Keybus
• there is a Keybus wiring problem
• the module is more than 1,000'/305m from the panel
• the module does not have enough power
For more information regarding module supervision troubles,
please refer to [*][2]Trouble Display.
2.8 Removing Modules
The panel must be instructed to no longer supervise a module
being removed from the system. To remove the module, disconnect it from the Keybus and reset the supervision field by entering [902] in Installer Programming. The panel will reset
supervision of all existing modules attached to the keybus.
2.9 Zone Wiring
For a complete description of the operation of all zone types,
please refer to [001] Zone Definitions.
There are several different ways in which zones may be wired,
depending on which programming options have been selected.
The panel can be programmed to supervise normally closed, End
of Line, Double End of Line, or zone doubling loops. Please
refer to the following diagrams to study each type of individually supervised zone wiring.
Note: Any zone programmed for Fire, 24-hr Supervisory, or CO
must be wired with a single End of Line (SEOL) resistor regardless of the type of zone wiring supervision selected for the panel
([013] First System Options: [1]-[2]).
Note: If you change the zone supervision options from DEOL to
SEOL or from NC to DEOL (See [013] First System Options,
Options [1] or [2]), you should power down the system completely, and then power it back up. If you do not, the zones may
not work correctly.

Single End Of Line (EOL) Resistors (5600)
To enable panel detection of single end of line resistors, Section
[013], Options [1] and [2] must be OFF.
Note:
This option should be selected if either Normally Closed (NC)
or Normally Open (NO) detection devices or contacts are being
used.
Double End of Line (DEOL) Resistors
Double End of Line resistors allow the panel to determine if the
zone is in alarm, tampered or faulted.
To enable panel detection of double end of line resistors, Section
[013], Option [1] must be OFF and Option [2] must be ON.
Note: If the Double EOL supervision option is enabled, all hardwire zones on the main panel must be wired for Double EOL
resistors, except for Fire, CO and 24-hr Supervisory zones.
Note: Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones, CO zones or
24-hr Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones to keypad zone
terminals if the DEOL supervision option is selected.
Note: This option can only be selected if Normally Closed (NC)
detection devices or contacts are being used.

2.10 Zone Doubling
Zone Doubling is a feature that will allow you to double the
zones on the main board from 4 to 8. To enable zone doubling,
Section 13 Option [7] must be ON. All zones must be wired
according to the following diagram. Only Normally Closed
devices can be used with zone doubling.

2.13 Keypad Zones
Each “z” keypad on the system has a zone input to which a
device - such as a door contact - can be connected. This eliminates the need to run wires back to the control panel for every
device.
To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic at the bottom of
the unit. Locate the five terminals on the keypad circuit board.
Connect the four Keybus wires from the control panel: the red
wire to R, the black to B, the yellow to Y and the green to G.
To connect the zone, run one wire to the Z terminal and the other
to B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply power to
the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and the
black wire to the B (negative) terminal.
When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according
to one of the configurations outlined in Section 2.9 Zone Wiring.
End of line resistors must be placed on the device end of the
loop, not at the keypad.
Note: Only non 24-hr burglary zones can be configured as keypad zones for UL Listed products.
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be
assigned a zone number in Installer Programming.
1.Ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into the
desired slots. (See Section 2.6 Keypad Assignment.)
2.Enter [*][8] [Installer Code] to go to Installer Programming.
3.Enter Section [20] for Keypad Programming. There are
eight programming locations in this section, one for each
keypad slot.
4.Enter a 2-digit number (01-08) to specify which zone number should be assigned to the keypad slot. This number
must be entered in the location corresponding to the keypad
to which each zone is connected.
Example: The zone on an PK5500 keypad in Slot 8 is to be
assigned Zone 3. In Section [020], scroll to Option [8] and enter
(03).
Note: Keypad Zones 1-4 will replace Zone terminals Z1-Z4 on
the control panel.
Note: Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also program zone definitions and zone attributes. (See also 5.2 Programming Worksheets).
Note: Keypad zones can only be used for household burglaryinitiated devices. Do not place the device more than 3 feet from
the keypad. The keypad zone must be tested weekly.
PC1404
3 Keypad Commands
Use any compatible keypad to enter commands and/or program the PC1404 security system. The LED keypad uses function and zone
indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid crystal display and
uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.
The PC1404 User Manual provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user functions from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.
3.1 Arming and Disarming
For a description of basic arming and disarming, please see the PC1404 User Manual. For other methods of arming, please refer to
[*][0] – Quick Arm, [*][9][User Code] – No-Entry Arming and [000] Keypad Function Programming.
The event buffer will log “armed in stay mode,” “armed in away mode,” or “armed in night mode" whenever the system is armed.
In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their system. If a
non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left open at the end of the exit delay, the entry delay will begin immediately and the
bell or siren will sound a steady alarm for the entry delay period. At the end of the entry delay period, if the system has not been disarmed it will go into alarm. This feature can be turned OFF in Section [013], Option [6].
3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming
Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without leaving the premises. All zones programmed as stay/away will be bypassed when
the user stay arms the system, so that the user does not have to bypass interior zones manually. (See “Zone Programming”.)
When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any zones on the system have been programmed as stay/away zones, the Bypass
light will turn ON. The panel will then monitor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such as designated entry/exit
doors. If a delay zone is not violated by the end of the exit delay, the panel will bypass all stay/away zones. The Bypass light will remain
on to inform the user that the interior zones have been automatically bypassed by the panel. If a delay zone is violated during the exit
delay, the system will arm in Away mode and all stay/away zones will be active after the exit delay expires.
The user can arm the stay/away zones at any time by entering the [*][1] keypad command. (See “[*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/
Away and Night Zones”.)
Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the Stay function key for two seconds on the supported keypads, if programmed by the installer. For more information regarding Stay arming, please see [000] Keypad Function Programming.
3.3 Automatic Arming
The system can be programmed to arm at the same time each day. Upon entry of this section, enter 4 digits for the 24 Hour Auto-Arm
time. At the selected Auto-Arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for the time programmed in Section [199] to warn that an AutoArm is in progress. The bell can also be programmed to squawk once every 10 seconds during this warning period. When the warning
period is complete, the system will arm with no exit delay and in the Away Mode.
Auto-Arming can be cancelled or postponed only by entering a valid access code during the programmed warning period. When the
code has been entered, the warning will be silenced and Auto-Arming will be canceled or postponed, depending on the programming of
Section [175]. Auto-Arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. Whenever the Auto-Arming process is canceled or postponed, the Auto-Arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be transmitted (if programmed).
If arming is inhibited by one of the following, the Auto-Arm Cancellation transmission will be communicated.
- AC / DC Inhibit Arm
- Latching System Tampers
- Zone Expander Supervisory Fault
Note: PC1404 only supports one entry of Auto-Arm Time programming, so the programmed time shall be used for every day.
3.4 Night Arming
Night arming is intended to arm the perimeter and restrict movement to designated areas in the interior (e.g., hallways from bedrooms
to bathrooms).
If night zones are programmed, entering [*][1] while the system is armed in stay mode will activate all interior zones except those programmed as night zones. The panel can also be armed in Night mode by pressing the Night Arm function key for 2 seconds while the
system is disarmed. The Ready light must be on (disarmed) or the system must be armed in Stay mode to Night arm the system. In
Night mode only night zones (Zone definition 37) are bypassed. When activated, no acknowledgement beeps are sounded, the exit
delay is silent and the panel logs “Armed in Night Mode.” If no night zone types are programmed, the system arms in Away mode and
the panel logs “Armed in Away Mode.”
3.5 [*] Commands
The [*] key commands provide an easy way for the user to access basic system programming – such as programming access codes or
bypassing zones. The user can also use the [*] key commands to check on the system’s status, including viewing trouble conditions and
displaying the event buffer on the LCD keypad.
The [*] key commands can be performed from both LCD and LED keypads. The LED keypad uses the zone indicator lights to display
command information. The LCD display provides written information, guiding the user through each command. The commands in this
section are explained as viewed from an LED keypad. When using an LCD keypad, use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through information provided. Otherwise, the functions remain the same for both keypad types.
[*] Commands
The following is a list of the [] commands available and a description of each:
[

i
[*][1] Activate Auto-Bypassed Stay/Away and Night Zones
When the system is armed in the Stay mode by (a) arming and not exiting through a delay zone during the exit delay; or (b) pressing a
function key programmed for Stay Arm or Arming Without Entry Delay [
zones are automatically bypassed. This [
] [1] command is used to remove the automatic bypass from the Stay/Away zones to fully arm
the system zones to fully or “Night” arm the system. Once this command is executed, all Stay/Away type zones will become active after
the programmed Exit Delay time, making the system armed in Night or Away mode. When the system is armed in the Away or Night
mode, if enabled by the installer, this [
][1] command will bypass all of the "Stay/Away" type zones immediately, making the system
armed in Stay mode. Night or Away mode is determined by whether there is a Night zone programmed on the system.
Note: Although there is an exit delay timer running, it is only an arming delay for the Stay/Away zones, and not a true exit delay where
all non-24 hour zone types can be opened and closed for the purpose of exiting. Any zone type that is not a Stay/Away zone type will
start its alarm sequence if violated during this "exit delay". Users should press
][9], the zones programmed as "Stay/Away" or “Night” type

The panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the keypad "Trouble" indicator will light and the audible indication will sound, two short beeps every 10 seconds (except AC failure). When the [#] key is pressed
the audible indication will stop but the trouble is not cleared. Trouble conditions are logged to the Event Buffer and most troubles can
also be transmitted to the monitoring station.
To view troubles, press [
Troubles 1, 5, and 6 can be expanded for more details by pressing the corresponding [1], [5], or [6] key.
Press [#] to return to the "Ready" mode. There is no Trouble memory. The Event Buffer can be used to achieve this function.
Viewing of troubles is now permitted while armed. The various troubles are described below:
LightTrouble

Service Required: Press [1] to determine the specific trouble. Lights 1–8 will light up to indicate the trouble.
Light [1] Low Battery: The standby battery's voltage is measured under load every 3 minutes and during a System Test.
The limits of alarms and restores are determined by the Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restores) counter.
Set at 3 by default, there will be 3 Low Battery Troubles and 3 Low Battery Restores before latching. The latching is reset
at midnight or upon arming.
Light [2] Bell Circuit Trouble: If the bell circuit is overdrawn or the bell circuit is open, a keypad trouble is generated and a
Bell Circuit Trouble can be reported.
Light [3] General System Trouble: Any peripheral module trouble will be indicated and communicated with a General
Trouble, but logged to the event buffer with a detailed description.
Light [4] General System Tamper: Any peripheral module tamper will be indicated and communicated with a General
Tamper but logged to the event buffer with a detailed description.
Light [5] General System Supervisory: If the system loses Supervisory signals from a peripheral module, this will be indicated and communicated with a General Supervisory but logged to the event buffer with a detailed description.
Light [6] Not used.
Light [7] PC5204 Low Battery: The PC5204 Module has detected a Low Battery Condition.
Light [8] PC5204 AC Fail: The PC5204 Module has detected an AC Power Failure. This Trouble will initiate the keypad
trouble beeps after the AC fail transmission delay if Trouble #2 is NOT present.

AC Failure: There is no audible annunciation on AC power failure unless trouble beeps on AC failure are enabled in
Section [018] Option [8]. The system "Trouble" light will come ON but the audible indication will not sound until there is a
low battery condition. Transmission delay can be programmed for 000 to 255 minutes/hours. If the AC Fails, the battery
will be continuously checked until the panel shuts down.
Telephone Line Monitoring Trouble (TLM): The telephone line voltage is measured every 3 seconds. If the volt-
age drops below 1 to 3 volts for the number of consecutive checks programmed in Section [377], a Telephone Line Trouble is generated. This additional check denomination may fluctuate from board to board, as it is dependant on hardware
component tolerances. The TLM Restore shall occur when the value in Section [377] is reached.
Failure to Communicate (FTC): If the digital communicator is unsuccessful in communicating with any of the pro-
grammed telephone numbers, a failure to communicate trouble will be generated. If a later attempt to communicate is
successful, the panel can also transmit the FTC restore reporting code and all previous unsuccessful events. If the digital
communicator is unsuccessful in communicating with any of the programmed telephone numbers, a failure to communicate trouble will be generated. If a later attempt to communicate is successful, the panel can also transmit the FTC
restore reporting code and all previous unsuccessful events.
Zone Fault (including Fire Zone): If any zone on the system is in the Trouble state, this trouble will be generated.
For hardwired zones (excluding Fire) using double end of line supervision, this is the shorted state. If DEOL is not used,
Zone Troubles can still be generated on Fire Zones (open state). If [5] is pressed in the Trouble mode, the keypad will
now display all of the zones in trouble. Fire Zone Faults are identified in the Event Buffer. They log a "Fault Zone X" followed by a generic "Fire Trouble". This has been done so that intermittent wiring problems may be tracked down via the
Event Buffer.
This trouble will be generated and displayed in the armed state if a Fire trouble is present. It will also restart the Trouble
beeps. If any zone enters this Trouble state (short), the keypad buzzers will sound trouble beeps to annunciate the condition.
Zone Tamper: This trouble is used with DEOL Zone Supervision only. If any zone is in the Tamper state, this trouble will
be generated. Zones excluded from this are Fire and zones not supporting the DEOL configuration (LINKS answer, Keyswitch). Press [6] in the Trouble mode to display all of the tampered zones. If any zone enters this Tamper state (open), the
keypad buzzers will sound trouble beeps to annunciate the condition.

Loss of System Time: When the panel is powered up, the internal clock needs to be set to the correct time. This trou-
ble is cleared when an attempt is made to reset the clock.
[*][3] Alarm Memory
When Disarmed, press [*] then [3] to enter the alarm memory mode. The "Memory" light will flash and any alarm caused during the
last armed period will be displayed on the zone lights.
Press [#] to return to the "Ready" mode. If [#] is not pressed, the keypad will time out in 30 seconds.
There is no memory of previous armed states. The Event Buffer can be used to achieve this function.
[*][4] Door Chime On/Off Command
When Armed/Disarmed, to turn the feature on or off, enter [*][4].The Door Chime feature is used to sound a tone from the keypad
whenever a zone programmed as a Chime type is activated. When the Door Chime feature is turned ON, the keypad will beep several
times whenever a Chime zone is activated. When the feature is being turned ON, the keypad will beep 3 times and the LCD will display
"Door Chime Feature ON". When the feature is being turned OFF, the keypad will sound a single long tone and the LCD keypad will
display "Door Chime Feature OFF".

When Disarmed, enter [*][5] to access the attribute programming mode.
1) The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter [*][5] whether it is a new code or an existing code
being programmed.
2) All user codes will now have a check so that they cannot be + or -1 of any other code.
Inherent Attributes (All codes except Installer and Maintenance)
Arm/Disarm - Any access code is valid for arming and disarming.
Command Outputs [*][7][1] - If the output requires an access code entry, any valid access code can be used.
[1] Supervisor’s Code – This code is used for validation when entering the [*][5] User Code Programming section. However, this code
can only program codes which have equal or lesser attributes. These attributes are changeable.
[2] Duress Code – Duress codes are standard user codes that will transmit the Duress Reporting Code whenever the code is entered to
perform any function on the system.
Duress codes are not valid when entering [*][5], [*][6] or [*][8] sections.
A code cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a code + or -1.
[3] Zone Bypassing Enabled – This attribute controls whether the user can bypass zones. This also requires that option Code Required

[7] Bell Squawk upon Arming/Disarming – This attribute is used to determine whether an access code should generate an arming/disarming bell squawk at the end of exit delay. The attribute is off at default for all access codes, and this feature is meant to be used when
Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming is disabled in Section [014]. However, if the away function key is pressed on the system keypad,
followed by an access code with this attribute enabled, the bell will still squawk.
[8] One-Time-Use Code – When the one-time-use code is entered on the system, the user of the code will be able to arm the panel with
the code as many times as they want. They will also be able to disarm the system using the code once per day. The disarming operation
will be reset at midnight, or if the code or its attributes are viewed in the [*][5] Access Code Programming. A code programmed as onetime use can be used to access other star menus that require an access code.
Notes on Access Codes and Programming
Note: [*][5][MASTER CODE] [01 to 39 40] to program access codes.
[*][5][MASTER CODE][99] enters the Attribute Mode [01 to 39] to edit access code attributes.
Note: The Master Code's attributes cannot be changed.
Note: When a new code is programmed in either [*][5] or through Installer Programming, it will be checked against all other codes in
the system. If a duplicate code is found, an error tone is given, and the code is returned to what it was before it was changed. This
applies to both 4- and 6-digit codes.
Note: In [*][5] if a duress code is being programmed, it will be checked to make sure that it is not 1 digit more than any other code in
the system. This will only apply to the least significant digit and does not roll over to the next digit. If a user code is 1234, then the
duress codes 1234 and 1235 are not allowed. If the user code is 1239, then duress cannot be 1239 or 1230, but could be 1240. This
applies to both 4- and 6-digit codes.
Note: See also [006] Installer Code and [008] Maintenance Code.
Erasing an Access Code
To erase an access code, the user will have to go into the base menu and then select the user number and enter [*] as the first digit. If [*]
is entered, the system will delete the code immediately and the user will be returned to select another code.

Auto-Arm Control: Pressing [2] while in the User Function menu will enable (3 beeps) or disable (one long beep) the AutoArm feature. With this feature enabled, the panel will automatically arm in the Away mode (Stay Away zones active) at the
same time each day. The Auto-Arm time is programmed with the [*][6][Master Code][3] command.
Note: Keypads are required if Auto-Arm is to be used.
[3]
Auto-Arm Time: The system can be programmed to arm at the same time each day. Upon entry of this section, enter 4 digits
for the 24 Hour Auto-Arm time. At the selected Auto-Arm time, the Keypad Buzzers will sound for the programmed time in
Section [199] to warn that an Auto-Arm is in progress. The bell can also be programmed to squawk once every 10 seconds
during this warning period. When the warning period is complete, the system will arm with no exit delay and in the Away
Mode. Auto-Arming can be cancelled or postponed only by entering a valid access code during the programmed warning
period. When the code has been entered, the warning will be silenced and Auto-Arming will be canceled or postponed,
depending on the Programming of Section [175]. Auto-Arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. Whenever
the Auto-Arming process is cancelled or postponed, the Auto-Arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be transmitted (if programmed).
The Auto-Arm Cancellation will be transmitted if arming is inhibited by one of the following:
• AC/DC Inhibit Arm
• Latching System Tampers
• Zone Expander Supervisory Fault.
PC1404 only supports one entry of Auto-Arm Time programming, which means the programmed time shall be used for
every day auto arm.

When armed or disarmed, press [*][7] followed by the command output number 1 to 4. When any command output is activated, three
acknowledgement beeps are heard. The system can be configured to require a valid access code to activate a command output.
[*][8] – Installer Programming
When disarmed, press [][8][Installer Code] to enter Installer Programming. Installer Programming allows the installer to program all
system functions. Refer to Section 4.1 Installer Programming for details. The PC1404 v1.00 is completely programmable from any system keypad using this command.
Note: Three-digit entries are required for section entry. When an error is made in attempting to enter a section number, [#] can be
pressed. If [#] is the first digit pressed, however, the keypad will return to the base menu.
Note: Once inside Installer Programming, the keypad will remain there for 20 minutes after the last keypress.
Note: All system events that occur while in Installer Programming will be logged to the Event Buffer and printed on the system printer;
however, these events will not be transmitted.
Note: When viewing data in sections with an LCD keypad, use the [<] and [>] keys to scroll. If using an LED keypad, press the [F] key
to scroll.
[*][9][User Code] – No-Entry Arming
When disarmed, entering [*][9] or pressing a function key programmed for No Entry Arm before entering an access code arms the
panel without any entry delay on the perimeter delay zones and bypasses zones that are defined as "Stay Away". This command is used
to arm the system while at home. When the system is armed in this mode, the "Armed" light will be ON flashing and the bypass light
will be on to indicate the "Stay Away" zones are bypassed. Once the panel is armed in this mode, using [*][1] will remove the bypass
from the "Stay Away" zones if they were NOT manually bypassed. The [*][1] command used here only removes the bypass from zones
that have been automatically bypassed with the [*][9] command. Delay Stay/Away and Interior Delay Zones will still have Entry Delay
on a [*][9] armed panel.
[*][0] – Quick Arm
When disarmed, press [*][0] to activate Quick Arm. Quick Arm may be used as a convenience for regular users or when the system is
to be armed by individuals who are not authorized to disarm the system. This panel will log either "Armed in Stay Mode" or "Armed in
Away Mode" for this closing type.
[*][0] – Quick Exit
When armed, press [*][0] to activate Quick Exit. Quick Exit allows the user 2 minutes to exit the premises through any delay zone without altering the status of the system if the Quick Exit feature is enabled. After [*][0] is entered, one and only one delay zone may be
tripped. If the delay zone is left unrestored at the end of the 2 minutes, it will begin its entry delay sequence. Any additional activity on
any other active zone will cause that zone to begin its alarm or delay sequence. Quick Exit is not designed to extend the standard Exit
Delay.

The PC1404 can be programmed using the following methods:
Programming MethodDescriptionProcedure
Installer ProgrammingAllows direct access to all programming sections. Press [][8][Installer’s Code] while the system is dis-
armed.
See 4.1 Installer Programming for details.
DLS ProgrammingAllows programming to be downloaded using
DLS-IV™ software.
DLS Programming can be set up from Installer
Programming (see [401] Downloading Option Codes).
DLS programming can be performed locally with
a PC-Link cable and a PC with DLS-IV software
installed.
DLS programming can be performed remotely via
telephone line.
Note: Panel communications will interfere with the
PC-link connection. Ensure the PC1404 is not
communicating before attempting a local DLS
connection.
4.1 Installer Programming
The following section of the manual describes the Installer Programming functions and how to program the various sections.
Read the following section of the manual very carefully before you begin programming. We also recommend filling out the Program-
ming Worksheets section before you program the panel.
Installer Programming is used to program all communicator and panel options. The Installer Code is [5555] by default (555555 if 6
digit codes are used) but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to programming.
From an LED or fixed message LCD keypad:
1.Enter [
][8][Installer Code].
The Program light (or System light on the PC1555RKZ) will flash to indicate that you are in programming mode.
The Armed light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the three-digit programming section number.
2.Enter the three-digit section number corresponding to the section you wish to program.
The Armed light will turn off.
The Ready light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the information required to complete programming the
selected section.
3.Enter the information required to complete section programming (i.e., numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
Note: If the three-digit section number entered is invalid, or if the module which pertains to the section is not present, the keypad will
sound a two second error tone.
From an LCD keypad:
1.From any keypad, enter [
][8][Installer Code]. The Keypad will display ‘Enter Section’ followed by three dashes.
2.Enter the three-digit number corresponding to the programming section number you wish to program. The keypad will now display the information required to complete programming the selected section.
3.Enter the information required to complete section programming (i.e., numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re-enter the
information correctly.
Note: There must be one digit in each box in the programming section in order for the change to be valid.
4.2 Programming Decimal Data
A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each section requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes, telephone numbers). If a digit is
entered for each program box, the panel will automatically exit from the selected programming section. The Ready light will turn OFF
and the Armed light will turn ON.
On the PC1555RKZ and PK5508 keypads, you can also press the [#] key to exit a programming section without entering data for every
box. This is handy if you only need to change digits in the first few programming boxes. All other digits in the programming section
will remain unchanged.
4.3 Programming HEX Data
On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To program a HEX digit, press the [] key. The panel will enter HEX programming and the Ready light will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers that should be pressed to enter the appropriate HEX digit:
1 = A2 = B3 = C4 = D5 = E6 = F
Once the correct HEX digit has been entered, the Ready light will continue to flash. If another HEX digit is required, press the corre-
sponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the [
decimal programming.
Example:
To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, you would enter:
][3][], [1]:
[
[
] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[3] to enter C
[
] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[1] to enter digit 1
Note: If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.
] key again. The Ready light will turn on and the panel will return to regular
13
PC1404
If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero [0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to send
any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To transmit a zero [0], it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal ‘A’.
Example:
For the three digit account number ‘403’, you would enter:
[1][][3], [0]:
[4], [
[4] to enter the digit 4
[
] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[1] to enter A
[
] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[3] to enter the digit 3
[0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.
4.4 Programming Toggle Option Selections
Some programming sections contain several toggle options. The panel will use zone lights 1 through 8 to indicate if the different
options are enabled or disabled. Press the number corresponding to the option to turn it ON or OFF. Once all the toggle options have
been selected correctly, press the [#] key to exit the section and save the changes. The Ready light will turn OFF and the Armed light
will turn ON.
Refer to the Programming Worksheets in this manual to determine what each option represents and whether the light should be ON or
OFF for your application.
4.5 Viewing Programming
LED and Fixed Message LCD Keypads
Any programming section can be viewed from an LED keypad. When a programming section is entered, the keypad will immediately
display the first digit of information programmed in that section. The keypad displays the information using a binary format, according
to the following chart.
Press the Fire keys to advance to the next digit. When all the digits in a section have been viewed, the panel will exit the section; the
Ready Light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON, waiting for the next three-digit programming section number to be
entered. Press the [#] key to exit the section.
LCD Keypad
When a programming section is entered, the keypad will immediately display all the information programmed in that section. Use the
arrow keys (< >) to scroll through the data being displayed. Scroll past the end of the data displayed or press the [#] key to exit the section.
4.6 DLS Programming
4.6.1 Local Programming with PC-Link
Follow the steps below in the sequence indicated to set up local programming using DLS:
1.Plug in PC-Link header.
2.Initiate a DLS PC-Link session on the DLS computer.
3.When the session is complete, remove the PC-Link cable from the alarm system.
