Section 2: Installation and Wiring
The following sections provide a complete description of how to wire and configure devices and zones.

2.1 Installation Steps

The following steps are provided to assist with the installation of the panel. It is suggested that you read over this section briefly to get an overall understanding of the order of installation. Once this is done carefully work through each step. Working from this plan will help reduce problems and reduce the overall installation time required. Step 1 Create a Layout Draw a rough sketch of the building and include all alarm detection devices, zone expanders, keypads and all other modules that are required. Step 2 Mounting the Panel Locate the panel in a dry area, preferably located near an unswitched AC power source and the incoming telephone line. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall be sure to press the five circuit board mounting studs into the cabinet from the back. NOTE: Complete all wiring before applying AC or connecting the battery. Step 3 Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.4) Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guidelines provided. Step 4 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders (Section 2.6) If zone expander modules are being used the modules must be configured so the panel knows which zones are assigned to each expander. Follow the guideline provided to assign zones to expanders. Step 5 Zone Wiring (Section 2.10) Power down the control panel and complete all zone wiring. Follow the guidelines provided in section 2.10 to connect zones using normally closed loops, single EOL resistor, double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming zones. Step 6 Completing Wiring Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone line connections, ground connections or any other wiring necessary. Follow the guidelines provided in section 2.2 Terminal Descriptions. Step 7 Power up the Control Panel Once all zone wiring and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the control panel. NOTE: The panel will not power up if only the battery is connected. Step 8 Keypad Assignment (Section 2.7) Keypads must be assigned to different slots to be properly supervised. Follow the guideline provided in section 2.7 to assign keypads. Step 9 Confirming Module Supervision (Section 2.8) 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 confirm that each module is properly supervised, follow the guidelines provided in section 2.8.

Section 3: How to Program
The following section of the manual describes how to enter Installer Programming and how to program the various sections. NOTE: It is extremely important that you read the following section of the manual to completely understand how to program the panel. The following table indicates which number should be pressed to enter the corresponding Hex digit: 1=A 2=B 3=C 4=D 5=E 6=F After the correct Hex digit is entered the Ready light will continue to flash. If another Hex digit is required press the corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required press the [*] key again. The Ready light will turn on solid and the panel will return to regular decimal programming. NOTE: It is important to watch the Ready light. If the light is flashing any number you enter will be programmed as the Hex equivalent. 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 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. 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 make a zero [0] transmit, it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal A. Example: for the 3-digit account number 403, you would enter [4], [*] [1] [*] [3], [0]. [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.
3.1 How to Enter Installer Programming
Installer Programming is used to program all communicator and panel options. The Installer Code is [5555] at default, but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to programming. NOTE: Once Installer Programming is exited, the system will reset. This will take 15 seconds. Do not attempt to perform any system function during this reset period. In addition, all outputs will return to their normal, deactivated state (or activated if inverted). LED Keypad Step 1: From any keypad enter [*][8][Installer Code]. The Program light will flash to indicate you are in programming The Armed light will turn on to indicate the panel is waiting for the 3-digit Section number to program Step 2: Enter the 3-digit Section number you want to program. The Armed light will turn off The Ready light will turn on to indicate the panel is ready for the information for the selected Section NOTE: If the 3-digit section number entered is not valid or the module that pertains to the Section is not present, the keypad will sound a 2-second beep or error tone. LCD Keypad Step 1: From any keypad enter [*][8][Installer Code]. The keypad will display Enter Section followed by three dashes. Step 2: Enter the 3-digit Section number you want to program. The keypad will now display information for the section entered.

Programming Partition Assignments and Access Code Attributes You can enable or disable each access code to work on each partition. Additional access code attributes are also programmable. Attributes determine what abilities the code will have. By default, each code has the attributes of the code used to program it. For example, if you use the Master Code to program other access codes, the new codes will have the same attributes as the Master Code. You can change the partition and attribute programming by following the instructions described below. You cannot change Master Code partition or attribute programming. The Master Code has all partitions and all attributes turned on, except for the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming attribute. To program which partition(s) each code will work on: 1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][8] to enter partition programming. 2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit. 3. Enter the partition number (1-8) to toggle it on or off. NOTE: Partition programming is NOT supported at the following keypads: PC5508(Z), PC5516(Z), PC5532(Z) versions v2.00 and lower; LCD5500(Z) version 2.x and lower; LCD5501Z version 1.x and lower. To program each attribute: 1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][9] to enter the attribute programming mode. 2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit. 3. Enter the attribute number to toggle it on or off. The programmable attributes are as follows: Attributes 1-2: For Future Use. Attribute 3: Zone Bypass enabled. This attribute allows the user to bypass zones. Attribute 4: Escort5580(TC) Remote Access This attribute allows the user to access the security system via the Escort, if installed. Attribute 5: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone Number 1. For use with the Escort5580(TC) and the PC5108L/DLM-4L (see the PC5108L Installation Manual for details). Attribute 6: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone Number 2. For use with the Escort5580(TC) and the PC5108L/DLM-4L (see the PC5108L Installation Manual for details). Attribute 7: Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming. When this attribute is turned on, the bell will squawk when the access code is entered to arm or disarm the system. For example, you can use the arm/disarm bell squawk attribute to have wireless key access codes squawk the bell, while other codes are silent. To do this, enable attribute [7] on all access codes associated with wireless keys. 15
NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming option (section [014], option [1]), the bell will sound arm/disarm bell squawks for all access codes, regardless of the programming for attribute [7] (See Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004] and Section 5.4 Advanced Programming). Installer Programming - Codes and Options There are three codes which can be programmed by the installer in Installer Programming: the Master Code, the Installer Code, and a Maintenance Code. All other access codes can be programmed through the [*][5] command, as described previously in this section. The master code can also be programmed by the user as access code (40). However, if the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled, the Master Code can only be changed in Installer programming. The Maintenance Code can only be used to arm and disarm the system. The Maintenance Code cannot bypass zones, use [*][9] to arm the system, cancel auto-arming, or perform [*][7] command functions. There will be no arm/ disarm bell squawks when the Maintenance Code is used. General access codes can arm and disarm the system. When the Code Required for Bypassing option is enabled, users will need to enter a valid access code in order to bypass zones. Individual access codes can have the Zone Bypassing attribute disabled under Access Code Attribute programming, as described previously in this section.

[30] - Select Partition 6 [31] - Select Partition 7 [32] - Select Partition 8 These keys provide users with an easy way to select one of the above partitions. For example, this is the same as pressing and holding the [#] key, then pressing and holding the [3] key to select partition 3 (see section Global and Partition Keypad Operation).
4.4 Global and Partition Keypad Operation
A global keypad will display limited information until a partition is selected: the Trouble light will turn on if a trouble condition is present, and the Armed light will turn on if all the partitions are armed. To select a partition the user must press and hold one of keys [1] - [8] for two seconds, depending on which partition they want to access (e.g., press and hold [2] for partition 2). The keypad will then display the status of the selected partition and allow normal operation. A partition keypad will display the status of the partition to which it is assigned. A user with access to more than one partition may temporarily assign the keypad to another partition to gain access. To do this the user must first press and hold the [#] key for two seconds. The keypad will go blank. The user must then press and hold one of keys [1] [8] for two seconds, depending on which partition they want to access (e.g., press and hold [2] for partition 2). The keypad will then display the status of the selected partition and allow normal access.
4.5 Features Available for the LCD5500Z
These features are only available for LCD5500Z keypads with zone inputs: Automatic Scrolling of Open Zones The LCD5500Z keypad (v3.1 and higher) automatically scrolls through open zones while the keypad is idle. This feature, if enabled, will override the clock display. This option can be programmed in LCD programming section [076], Option [8]. Automatic Scrolling of Alarms in Memory The LCD5500Z keypad allows automatic scrolling through alarms in memory while the keypad is idle. This feature, if enabled, will override the clock display. This option can be programmed in LCD programming section [076], Option [4]. 24-hr Time Display Option The LCD5500Z can be programmed to display time using a 24-hr clock, instead of a 12-hour, a.m./p.m. clock. This option can be programmed in LCD programming section [076], Option [3]. Keypad Zones See section 2.11 Keypad Zones. Viewing Troubles While Armed See section 4.2 [*] Commands for information on how to view troubles. Backlighting Boost (available for all zone input keypads) The LCD5500Z and PC55xx zone input keypads will provide extra number pad lighting when any key is pressed. The backlighting boost will last for an additional 30 seconds after the last keypress.

[165] - Maximum Dialing Attempts To Each Phone Number This value represents the number of attempts that will be made to each telephone number when communicating. The default value is 007 attempts. Valid entries are 001-015. NOTE: The PC5020 will not allow more than 15 dialing attempts to a single phone number. If a value higher than 15 is programmed in Section [165], the panel will still only make15 attempts. [166] - Post-Dial Wait For Handshake This value represents the time the communicator waits for a valid initial handshake from the receiver after dialing the programmed telephone number. The default value is 040 seconds. [170]-[178] Timers [170] - PGM Output Timer This value represents the period of time (in seconds) that a PGM will activate if programmed to follow the PGM Timer. The default value is 005 seconds. Valid entries are 001-255. NOTE: This option does not affect outputs programmed as Sensor Reset (Type 03). 29
NOTE: If a System Event PGM is programmed to follow the Command Output Timer, all attributes must be enabled. [175] - Auto-arm Postpone Timer This feature controls the sequence of events after a valid access code is entered during the Auto-arm Pre-alert. If the Auto-arm Postpone Timer is programmed as 000, the Auto-arm will be cancelled. If a value between 001 and 255 is programmed, then the Auto-arm will be postponed for the corresponding number of minutes and the panel will resume normal operation. The panel will also log the appropriate user log for the access code which postponed the arming. When the postpone time expires, the panel Auto-arm Pre-alert will be re-initiated (unless the partition is armed). The Auto-arm can be postponed multiple times. If the Auto-arm is postponed, arming or disarming the panel will not affect the postpone sequence. [176] - Cross Zone/Police Code Timer This option affects the Cross Zone Police Code log and transmission as well as the Cross Zone feature. When a zone trip occurs, the Cross Zone Timer starts. This timer affects the panel in two different ways depend-
ing on the programming of the Burglary Verification Options (Section [018], Option 6): If the Police Code feature is being used, the first zone alarm will immediately transmit. If a second zone alarm occurs in the time period (minutes) programmed in this section, the panel will log and transmit the Police Code event. If the second zone alarm occurs after this timer expires, the Police Code will not be logged or transmitted, and the timer will restart. If the new Cross Zone attribute is used, the first zone alarm will not log or transmit. If a second zone is violated within the Cross Zone Timers duration (seconds), the panel will go into the appropriate alarm sequence and will communicate both zone alarms. No Police Code is sent. NOTE: If 000 is programmed in this section, either: the Police Code will transmit for any two different zone alarms during an armed-to-armed period or the new Cross Zoning feature will not work. This is not a valid entry for Cross Zoning. NOTE: Option[9], Section [101]-[164] must be enabled for the Cross Zoning feature to function. Each zone has the ability to individually protect the intended area. Cross Zoning is NOT recommended for line security installations or on exit/entry zones. [177] - Waterflow Delay Timer This option affects the Delayed 24-hr waterflow zone type. The value programmed in this section is the time for which the zone has to be violated before going into alarm. Valid entries are from 000 to 090 seconds, with a default of 000. NOTE: The total delay time (combination of control unit plus waterflow device) for a waterflow zone alarm is not to exceed 120 seconds. [178] - Alarm Tone Period for Verbal Alarm This is the period of time that the system will sound the bell outputs before silencing them and verbally annunciating the alarms through the PC5936/Escort5580(TC). Valid entries for this section are 001-255, and the default value is 15 seconds. [181]-[188] - Auto-arm Schedules Sections [181] through [188] allow the installer to program seven independent times of the day when the selected partition will arm when Auto-arm is enabled. The 7 entries represent the days of the week as indicated below: NOTE: Valid entries are 0000-2359 hrs; 9999 to disable.

[301] - First Telephone Number [302] - Second Telephone Number [303] - Third Telephone Number NOTE: There is a static delay of 2 seconds before any additional dial tone search in a phone number. NOTE: The panel will not attempt to communicate, if no phone number is programmed. This applies to phone numbers 1, 2 and 3. [304] - Call Waiting Cancel Dialing String This is a 6-digit Hex entry that is used to disable Call Waiting on a Call Waiting-equipped phone line. This is 31
typically *70 in most areas. Dialing this string before a phone number will disable Call Waiting for the duration of the call. If this section is programmed (not FF), and Section 382, Option 4 is ON, the panel will dial this string in place of the first digit of the phone number (Sections [301]-[303]). This only applies to the first attempt that is made to each phone number. NOTE: If not all 6 digits are required they should be filled with Hex F. All 6 digits of this section need to be programmed in order for any changes to be accepted. Communicator - Account Codes The System Account Code will be used by the panel when communicating System events (e.g. Low Battery, Test Transmission). This account code can be up to six digits in length for the SIA Communications format. Only the SIA reporting format supports six-digit account codes. All other formats will use the first four digits of the account code. NOTE: If the communicator is programmed for the SIA reporting format, the system will use this account code for all partitions. There are eight Partition Identifier Codes (or account codes) programmable, one for each partition. The account code is used by central station to determine which panel is calling. If you have programmed the system for more than one partition, you must program an account code for each active partition. The panel will report to the central station by partition. For example, if an alarm occurs on a zone assigned to partition 1 the panel will report using partition 1 account code. [310] - System Account Code This is the account code used by the panel when communicating System events (e.g., Low Battery, Test Transmission). This account code can be up to six digits in length for the SIA Communications format. Only SIA supports 6-digit account codes. If the last two digits of the account code are FF, the panel will only use the first four digits. All other formats will use the first four digits of the account code. The call directions that use this account code are System Maintenance (Troubles, Zone Faults, etc.) and System Test Transmissions. NOTE: SIA will use this account code for all partitions and system events. System events will be identified by Nri0, with partitions 1-8 using Nri1-8. [311]-[317] - Partition 1-8 Account Codes These account codes are used by the panel when communicating events for partitions 1-8 when using formats other than SIA. NOTE: All partition account codes are 4 digits in length. Valid entries are 0000-FFFE. [320] - [349] Reporting Codes Communicator - Reporting Codes Unless you are using Automatic Contact ID or Automatic SIA formats, reporting codes must be programmed in order for the panel to report events to the central station. Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal digits A through F. To disable a reporting code, program it as FF (default setting) or 00. For a complete description of reporting codes which can be programmed and lists of Automatic Contact ID and SIA format codes, see section Appendix A: Reporting Codes.

[390]-[393] LINKS Preambles Downloading can be performed through the LINKS1000 cellular communicator if the telephone line is disconnected. If using the LINKS1000 with Call Back, you need to program the LINKS1000 Preamble with the downloading telephone number in order for the panel to call the computer correctly. LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator The LINKS1000 cellular communicator can be used three different ways: as the sole communicator for the panel, as a backup for either or both telephone numbers, or as a redundant backup to the land line communicator (the panel will call both the land line and via the LINKS1000). A LINKS1000 Preamble is programmable for each telephone number in the event that the land line number is local but the LINKS1000 is required to dial an exchange. When programming a LINKS1000 Preamble, all unused digits must be programmed with a Hex decimal F. Sole Communicator The panel can be programmed to report only using the LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event occurs. To program this select only the LINKS1000 for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the event. In addition the Call LINKS1000 as well as Land Line option must also be enabled. When the selected event occurs the panel will only attempt to call the central station using the LINKS1000. NOTE: If a LINKS1000-only event fails to communicate, the LINKS1000 must successfully communicate a LINKS1000-only event in order for the FTC Trouble to clear. 39
Backup Communicator The panel can be programmed to call using the LINKS1000 cellular communicator if the panel is having difficulty communicating an event using the land line. To program this select the telephone number and LINKS1000 options for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the event. The LINKS1000 is backup of Land Lines option must also be selected. When used as a backup communicator the panel will attempt to call the central station in the following manner: the panel will try to call using land lines - if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the LINKS1000 if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the land lines if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the LINKS1000 This process will continue until the panel has successfully communicated with the central station or the Maximum Dialing Attempts has been reached. Redundant Communicator The panel can be programmed to call using the land line and the LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event occurs. To program this select both the telephone number and the LINKS1000 options for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the event. In addition the Call LINKS1000 as well as Land Line option must be selected. The panel will call the LINKS1000 and then call the land line when reporting the selected event.

About This Guide

This Power864 Users Guide is for anybody using a Power864 Security System. Read this guide thoroughly to learn how to use your security system. Ensure that all users of this system are equally instructed in its use. Important information about fire and burglary alarms is in section 3 on page 12. Read this section carefully! This guide provides step-by-step instructions for each function. Each key you need to press will be indicated by its symbol (e.g. ). For some functions you will need to enter your access code (indicated by [access code]) or your master code (indicated by [master code]). You can use the master code for the same functions as a regular access code, but you cannot use a regular access code for master code functions (e.g., programming access codes). Some functions have separate sets of instructions for the LCD5500Z, LCD5501Z, and PC55XXZ keypads. You can check the kind of keypad you have by referring to the diagrams on pages 1 and 2. If only one set of instructions is given, the procedure will work at any of the keypads. The instructions for LCD keypads will refer to scrolling. To scroll, press the key to move to the next message, or the key to move back a message. The keypads and their lights and buttons are described on pages 1 and 2. The Quick Reference Guide inside the front cover shows you the commands required to access each system function, and the page number each function is described on. Fill out the System Information page (Section 8, p. 25) with all of your zone information and access codes, and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Section 1: Introduction

Your security system can provide up to three kinds of monitoring: intrusion, fire, and emergency. We have designed your DSC Power864 security system to provide you with both flexibility and convenience. Your installer has set up your system with your home or business in mind. You may not need all of the features described in this manual. Your installer will only turn on the features that you need, and should explain all the active features to you. If you have any questions about which features are included on your system, please ask your installer.
NOTE: The Power864 security system includes specific false alarm reduction features and is classified with ANSI / SIA CP-01-2000. To comply with this specification, your installation must have a minimum of two keypads. Please consult your installer for further information regarding the false alarm reduction features built into your system as all are not covered in this guide.

How Your System Works

Your security system is made up of a DSC Power864 control panel, one or more Power864 keypads, and various sensors and detectors. The control panel is the brain of your security system. It controls and monitors all the keypads and sensors, and communicates with the central station (if remote monitoring is enabled). 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. You will access system functions from your keypad(s), which are described on pages 1 and 2 of this manual. Each keypad has a sounder and five function keys. The LCD5500Z keypad has a liquid crystal display (LCD) which will show system messages. The LCD5501Z LCD keypad uses fixed messages to display your systems status. The LED (PC55XXZ) keypads have a group of zone and system status lights. The keypads can send commands to the system and show the current system status. Your installer will mount the keypad(s) inside your premises, close to the entry/exit door(s). The security system has several zones (monitored areas). Each of these zones will be connected to a sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). If a sensor goes into alarm, the zone light for that sensor will flash (LCD5501Z and PC55XXZ keypads), or there will be a message shown on the LCD5500Z keypad. A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and if included your central 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. For important warnings and cautions, please see inside the back cover.

Arming Your System

There are two basic methods for arming your security system. Away Arming: Use this method when everyone will be away from the premises. See below. Stay Arming: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the premises. See page 8. You can also use any of these methods to arm your system (see pages 10 to 11): Quick Arming: Arm your system without having to enter an access code. This feature must be turned on by your installer before it will work. No Entry Arming: Arm your system with no entry delay - use this method when no one else will be entering the premises. Automatic Arming: The system will arm itself at pre-programmed times. This feature must be turned on by your installer before it will work. No Activity Arming: The system will arm itself after a pre-programmed delay after no zone activity. This feature must be turned on by your installer before it will work. When you arm your system using the Away arming method, both interior zones (e.g., motion detectors) and border zones (e.g., door and window contacts) will be active and will cause an alarm to sound when opened. 1. Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON). 2. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps. If you enter the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly. When you enter a valid access code: The keypad sounds fast beeps. The Armed light turns ON. LCD5500Z keypads display Exit Delay in Progress. The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the end of the exit delay. The keypad beeps quickly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay. 3. Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the system that you are away, and the system arms all the interior zones. At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, turn OFF. LCD5500Z keypads display System Armed in Away Mode and Enter Code to Disarm System. The system is now armed.

Away Arming

NOTE: If LCD5500Z keypads display: * WARNING * Bypass Active, or if the Bypass indicator is ON at PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads, there are one or more zones bypassed (i.e., not armed). See Bypassing Zones on page 15. If you arm the system with a zone bypassed or a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.

NOTE: As a safety measure, the Stay Arming exit delay will be twice as long as the

Away Arming exit delay.

A r m in g an d D is ar m in g Y o u r Sys t e m: Q u ic k Arm
Re-activate bypassed zones To fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay mode: 1. Press at any keypad. The interior zones are now armed.
NOTE: When you have re-activated the interior zones, you will not be able to enter areas protected by motion detectors, or open doors and windows. To access these areas, you must enter your [access code] and disarm the system.
Stay Button You may also be able to quickly Stay arm your system using the Stay function button on your keypad. If your installer has programmed this button, press and hold it for two seconds to arm in Stay mode.

Quick Arm

Your installer will tell you if the Quick Arm method has been enabled on your system. Using this method, you can quickly arm your system without having to enter an access code. To quick arm: 1. Check that the system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON) 2. Press. The keypad sounds fast beeps. The Armed light turns ON. LCD5500Z keypads display Exit Delay in Progress. The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the end of the exit delay. 3. Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. The system will be armed in Away mode. If you do not exit the premises, the system will be armed in Stay mode. This mode also applies to individual partitions.
NOTE: Pressing will only arm the system. To disarm, you must enter a valid [access code]. See Disarming Your Security System on page 11. NOTE: For Away, Stay or Quick Arming, you may restart the exit delay routine if an Entry/Exit zone is opened, restored, then reopened once again. This restart routine can occur one time only. This can be done on separate partitions. No Entry Arming
If you want to arm the system, and no one else will be entering, you can remove the entry delay from zones that normally have one. An entry through any zone will then create an instant alarm. 1. Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON) 2. Press , then your [access code]. The Armed light flashes as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. The keypad sounds fast beeps. LCD5500Z keypads display Exit Delay in Progress. 3. The system is now armed in Stay mode.

Automatic Arming

Your installer may have set up your system to arm at a pre-programmed time. If automatic arming has been programmed, when the system reaches the programmed auto-arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for one minute, and LCD5500Z keypads will display System Arming in Progress. During this one-minute warning time, you may be able to cancel or postpone auto-arming by entering your [access code]. Ask your installer for more information. Your installer may have set up the system so that users with a [master code] can control the auto-arm schedule at the keypad. If so, master users will be able to turn the auto-arming function on or off, and program the time at which the system will auto-arm each day. To turn automatic arming on or off: 1. Press , then [master code]. 2. Press to turn automatic arming on or off. The keypad will beep 3 times when autoarm is turned ON, and once when it is turned OFF. 3. To exit programming, press. To program the auto-arm time: 1. Press , then [master code]. 2. Press. 3. On an LCD5500Z keypad, scroll to the day of the week you want to program using the keys, then press. On a PC55XXZ or LCD5501Z keypad enter the number of the day of the week (1 - 7) you want to program (e.g., for Sunday, press [1], for Friday press [6]). 4. Enter the auto-arm time using the 24Hr format (0000 - 2359). For example, to set the time for 1:00pm, enter (1300). To prevent auto-arming on a particular day, enter (9999) for the auto-arm time. 5. To program the time for another day, repeat steps 3-4. To exit programming, press twice.
NOTE: The correct system time and date must be programmed in order for the
auto-arm feature to function properly. Please see Setting the Time and Date on page 21.
A r m in g an d D is ar m in g Y ou r Sy ste m : Q u ic k Ex it

Quick Exit

Your installer will tell you if the Quick Exit feature has been enabled on your system. The Quick Exit feature will allow you to exit the premises while the system is armed, without having to disarm and then re-arm the system. To use the Quick Exit feature: 1. While the system is armed, press. 2. The system will start a two-minute countdown, during which you may leave the premises through the entry/exit door.

Fire Alarms

A pulsing bell or siren indicates a fire alarm. If there is a fire, or if you are not sure, follow your evacuation plan immediately. (See Fire Escape Planning on page 22.) If remote monitoring is enabled, the system will send a fire message to the central station. Your installer may have set up the keypad Fire keys and other fire equipment to send a fire alarm message to the central station as soon as they are activated. Your installer may have set up other equipment (e.g., smoke detectors) to have a 30 second delay before sending the alarm message to the central station. Your installer will inform you how the equipment on your system operates. Equipment that has been set up with a 30 second delay (e.g., smoke detectors) gives you time to correct the problem before a false alarm is sent to the central station. Your installer may have implemented an auto-verify fire zone for your smoke detector(s). Consult your installer for a detailed explanation of its function, purpose and use.
NOTE: If you suspect that a fire message has been transmitted, but there is no fire
condition, call the central station to avoid an unnecessary response. If there is no fire condition, to silence the fire alarm: 1. Press within 30 seconds of the beginning of the alarm. The fire alarm will sound again if the smoke detector is not reset within 90 seconds. 2. To reset the smoke detectors, press. After the smoke detector has been reset, if it still detects smoke the alarm will sound again. If there is no smoke, the system will return to normal. 3. To silence the fire alarm after the 30 second delay has expired, enter your [access code].
NOTE: Your installer may have programmed the system to operate differently than
described above. Ask your installer for more information regarding your systems operation.
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarms
A steady bell or siren indicates an intrusion alarm. To silence the alarm: 1. Enter your [access code]. 2. If the alarm was unintentional, call your central station or local authorities immediately to avoid an unnecessary response. 3. Check the alarm memory display to see which zone caused the alarm. Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will return to the Ready state.

NOTE: Your LCD5500Z keypad has the capability to display Communications Cancelled if you have central station supervision and if the alarm occurred within a set communication cancel window. For more information about this feature, ask your installer. Viewing Alarms in Memory
The alarm memory display shows you which zone (detector) caused the alarm. The alarm memory is cleared each time the system is armed. Any alarms showing on the system have occurred only during the last armed period.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder is still on the premises. Go to a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities to investigate.
LCD5500Z Keypads If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, LCD5500Z keypads will display View Memory <> Zone X. 1. Use the keys to view which zone(s) caused the alarm. 2. To cancel the alarm memory display, press.

Section 6: Fire Safety

Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety.
Household Fire Safety Audit
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be 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. 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 border 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 can be accounted for (e.g., across the street or at a neighbors 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 18). 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 in-house fire safety inspection.

Fire Escape Planning

Section 7: Glossary

Access code Alarm

A 4- or 6-digit code that allows access to arming, disarming and other system functions. When a zone is violated (e.g., a smoke detector detects smoke, a motion detector senses movement, a door with a contact is opened), it will trigger an alarm. Intrusion (burglary) alarm: An alarm triggered by an intrusion detector (e.g., motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door/window contacts). Usually occurs when the system is armed. Fire alarm: An alarm triggered by fire, smoke or heat detectors. Fire alarms may be triggered at any time, whether the system is armed or not. A feature that warns you of an improper exit when arming the system in Away mode. Helps to reduce false alarms (see page 7). Arming the system so that all the zones (border and interior) are turned on. (Used when everyone is away from the premises.) When you bypass a zone, the detector for that zone will no longer monitor activity in the zone and will not be able to trigger an alarm. If remote monitoring is enabled, your system will send alarms, troubles and emergency messages to the central station. The central station will then notify authorities in your area, if necessary.
Audible exit fault Away arming
Bypassing zones Central Station

Detector

A part of the system that can detect problems and report them to the control panel (e.g., a motion detector can tell the control panel if there is movement in a zone). A message sent to the central station when one of the pairs of emergency keys ( ) is pressed and held for two seconds. Your installer must program these keys, or they will not work.

Emergency Message

Entry delay
A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you enter an armed area of the system. You must enter an access code to disarm the system before the timer runs out, or else an alarm will be triggered. Your installer will program the doors you usually use to enter or exit the premises as entry/exit doors. These doors will be programmed to have entry and exit delays. Keypads will normally be placed near the entry/exit delay doors for easy access to arming/disarming functions. The event buffer contains a list of the last 256 events that have occurred on your system. You must be at an LCD5500Z keypad to view the event buffer.

Entry/exit doors Event buffer

Exit delay

A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you arm your system, to allow you a period of time in which to leave the premises. At the end of the exit delay, the system will be armed. The master code is a 4- or 6- digit access code that is used to program system options, to arm and disarm the system, and to program other access codes. A group of zones that can be turned on or off together. Certain access codes may have access to only some partitions. See Zone.

Master code

Partition

Stay arming

Arming the system so that only the border zones are turned on. (Used when one or more people will stay on the premises.)

Trouble

The control panel continuously checks the system for conditions that may reduce its effectiveness. If the control panel finds one of these conditions (trouble), it will indicate this at the keypad(s) to alert users to the problem. See Identifying Trouble Conditions on page 17 for a list of possible trouble conditions. A limited area of the premises monitored by a detector (e.g., smoke detector, door/window contact, motion detector, glassbreak detector, etc.). Border zone: A zone that detects intrusion from outside the premises (e.g., door contact on an outside door, glassbreak detector, etc.). Interior zone: A zone that detects intruders that have already entered (e.g., door contact on an interior door between rooms, motion detector, etc.). Fire zone: A zone with a heat or smoke detector.

WARNING

N o te t o In stal le rs

Please Read Carefully

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 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
