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 systems 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. 1

Once the correct access code has been entered, the display will be: The panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you to Exit Delay in Progress exit the premises without causing an alarm. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away button before the exit delay expires. Exit through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit/Entry door. Enter Code to This message will be displayed once the exit delay expires and the system is fully Disarm System armed. If this message appears, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see Zone * WARNING * Bypassing on page 10). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone bypassed or Bypass Active with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced. 4

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 recognise that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away button before the exit delay expires. Audible Exit Fault In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. If you do not exit the premises during the exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed. It will do this 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 properly. Your installer will inform you if the Audible Exit Fault feature has been enabled on your system.

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, or press the "Stay" button on the keypad, 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, do not go into areas covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected by motion sensors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system.

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. Enter your access code. If an error is made in entering the code, re-enter the Entry Active Enter Your Code code correctly. When a valid access code is entered, the keypad will stop beeping. If there were no alarms while the panel was armed, and there are no troubles, the display will read.

Go to a neighbours house, and call the local police to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed. Any alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.

If an Alarm Sounds

Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see Fire Escape Planning on page 15).

Intrusion Alarm

If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous Bell or Siren, the alarm may be silenced by entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an unnecessary response. You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the Disarming section (see page 6). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to its original Armed state. NOTE: A fire alarm has priority over a burglary type alarm.
Function Keys (Not available on the PC1555RKZ)
The keypads have five function keys marked Stay, Away, Chime, Reset and Exit which allow easy single-button activation of the most commonly used features. If your installer has enabled these keys, you can execute their programmed function by pressing and holding the corresponding key for two seconds.

Household Fire Safety Audit
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit is conducted and a fire escape plan is developed. 1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluate these units. 2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided. 3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children? 4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances. 14

Fire Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed. 1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan. 2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters. 3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans: Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly. If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal. If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as training in its use. Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits. Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone could be accounted for i.e.: across the street or at a neighbours house. Once everyone is out of the building, call the Fire Department. A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department. Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to the buildings construction. Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests (see Testing Your System on page 13). If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer. We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an inhouse fire safety inspection.

WARNING Please 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.
I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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.

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: I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. I Failure of Replaceable Batteries This systems 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. I 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. I 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.

The following sections provide a thorough description of how to wire and configure devices and zones.

Installation Steps

Step 10: Testing the System Test the panel thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions are operating as programmed.
Read this section completely before you begin. Once you have an overall understanding of the installation process, carefully work through each step. Step 1: Create 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 Mount the panel in a dry 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, or applying AC to the panel. Step 3: Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.3) Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guidelines provided in Section 2.3 of this manual. Step 4: Zone Wiring (Section 2.8) You must power down the control panel to complete all zone wiring. Please refer to 2.8 Zone Wiring on page 5 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: Power up the Control 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 2.5) 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 when assigning keypads. Step 8: Supervision (Section 2.6) 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. Step 9: Programming the System (Sections 4 & 5) Section 4 explains how to program the panel. Section 5 contains a complete description of the various programmable features, which options are available and how they function. Fill out the Programming Worksheets completely before attempting to program the system.

No module can be more than 1,000'/305m (in wire length) from the panel. 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.
2.4 Current Ratings Modules and Accessories
In order for the PC1555 system to operate properly, the power output capabilities of the main control and the expansion devices must not be exceeded. Use the data presented below to ensure that no part of the system is overloaded and cannot function properly. PC1555 (12 VDC) AUX+:.550mA: Subtract the listed rating for each keypad, expansion module and accessory connected to AUX+ or Keybus. BELL:.700mA continuous rating; 3.0A short term. Available only with standby battery connected. PC1555 Device Ratings (at 12 VDC) LCD5500Z Keypad: 85mA max. PC1555RKZ Keypad: 85mA max. PC5508Z, PC5516Z, PC5532Z Keypads: 85mA max. PC5509 Keypad: 85mA max. PC5400 Serial Module: 65mA PC5132 Wireless Receiver: 125mA Other Devices Please read the manufacturers literature carefully to determine the maximum current requirements for each device during activation or alarmand include the proper values for loading calculations. Connected devices must not exceed system capabilities during any possible operational mode.
NOTE: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.

Keypad Assignment

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 gauge quad (0.5mm); two pair twist is preferred. The modules should be home-run to the panel but can be connected in series or T-tapped. Any module can be connected anywhere along the Keybus. You do not need to run a separate Keybus wire for keypads, etc.

The following section of the manual describes the Installers Programming function and how to program the various sections. NOTE: Read the following section of the manual very carefully before you begin programming. We also recommend filling out the Programming Worksheets section before you program the panel. For your reference, the corresponding programming sections for the functions listed are highlighted in text boxes such as this one.

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 PC5508Z 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.

Zone Definitions. [001] Zone Assignments. [202]
[09] 24 Hour Supervisory Zone If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or disarmed, the panel will report to the central station, and will log the zone alarm to the event buffer. This zone gives a silent alarm by default. NOTE:Do not wire 24-Hour Supervisory zones on keypad zone terminals. [10] 24 Hour Supervisory Buzzer Zone If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or disarmed, the panel will immediately latch the keypad buzzer until a valid access code is entered and will immediately communicate to the central station. [11] 24 Hour Burglary Zone If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or disarmed, the panel will immediately latch the alarm output and communicate to the central station. The alarm will sound until the Bell Cutoff time expires (Section [005] System Times), or until a code is entered. (See 5.13 Bell on page 22.) [12] - [20] The following zone definitions operate similar to the 24 Hour Burglary except for the System Event output type and the SIA identifier: [12] 24 Hour Holdup Zone - This zone gives a silent alarm by default. [13] 24 Hour Gas Zone [14] 24 Hour Heating Zone [15] 24 Hour Medical Zone [16] 24 Hour Panic Zone [17] 24 Hour Non-Medical Emergency Zone [18] 24 Hour Sprinkler Zone [19] 24 Hour Water Flow Zone [20] 24 Hour Freezer Zone
[21] 24 Hour Latching Tamper If this zone is violated, the installer must enter Installers Programming before the system can be armed. NOTE: Wireless zones should not be programmed as zone types [22] - [24].

Zone Attributes

NOTE: All zones, with the exception of 24 Hour and Fire, will provide an exit delay. NOTE: Do not change the attributes for Fire Zones from the default settings.
Additional zone attributes can be programmed to customize the operation of a zone for a specific application. The following attributes are programmable for each zone: Audible / Silent This attribute determines whether or not the zone will activate the alarm output. Pulsed / Steady This attribute determines whether the alarm output will be steady or will pulse on and off every second. Activate Chime This attribute determines whether or not the zone will activate the chime feature. (See [*][4] Door Chime On/Off on page 9.) Bypass Enable This attribute determines whether or not the zone can be manually bypassed. (See [*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones on page 8.) Force Arm Enable This attribute determines whether or not the system can be armed while a zone is violated. At the end of the exit delay, if this type of zone is violated, it will be ignored by the panel. Once the zone is secured, it will be monitored by the system. This zone attribute, for example, will allow the user to arm the system with the garage door open. Later, when the door is closed, it will be armed along with the rest of the system. Do not program this attribute for 24Hr zones. Swinger Shutdown Enable This attribute determines whether or not the panel will shut down the communicator

[22] Momentary Keyswitch Arm Zone Momentary violation of this zone will alternately arm/disarm the system.

and bell for a zone once its swinger limit has been reached. (See 5.19 Swinger Shutdown on page 24.) Transmission Delay Enable This attribute determines whether or not the panel will delay communicating the alarm reporting code for the programmed Transmission Delay Period. (See 5.15 Transmission Delay on page 23.) Wireless Zone This attribute determines which zones are to have wireless devices. This allows the panel to generate a low battery trouble and zone supervisories for the wireless zones. NOTE: Any zone with the wireless attribute enabled will not cause an alarm for a fault condition when armed (or any time for 24-hour zones). Zone Attributes. Sections [101] - [108]: [1] - [8]

Assigning Keypad Zones

Z keypads have zone inputs to which devicessuch as door contactscan be connected. (See 2.12 Keypad Zones on page 6 for wiring information.) Once the keypad zones are installed, assign the zone in programming section [020] Keypad Zone Assignments. Enter the 2 digit zone designated for each keypad (slot) from 01-08. Keypad Zone Assignments. [020]
Communicator Telephone Numbers
The panel can use three different telephone numbers for communicating with the central station. The First Telephone Number is the primary number, the Second Telephone Number is the secondary number and the Third Telephone Number will back up the First telephone number if enabled. NOTE:The Third Telephone Number will NOT back up the Second Telephone Number.

Communicator Dialing

Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone Hex [E] - two second pause Hex [F] - marks the end of the telephone number The panel will attempt to call the pager once. Once the appropriate telephone number is dialed, the panel will send the account number and Reporting Code followed by the [#] key (Hex [C]). The panel has no way of confirming if the pager was called successfully. A Failure To Communicate trouble will only be generated if the panel detects a busy tone on all dialing attempts, or if no dial tone is detected on all dialing attempts. The pager format will not cause any form of ringback. NOTE:The Pager Format cannot be used with the LINKS1000 cellular communicator.
