Auxiliary Delay Loop Entry/Exit Times; System Clock Times; New Installer's Code; New Master Code - DSC PC1550 Installation Manual

determines the "slow" zone response time and provides times
from 10 ms to 2550 ms. The factory default "slow" zone response
time is 500 ms. NOTE: The "fast" zone response time is fixed
at 10 ms. See Section [11] Zone Definitions.
[6] Test transmission cycle time (001 to 255 days) This value
determines the frequency, in days, of the test transmission
either via the communicator or by calling the downloading
computer. The factory default setting is 30 days. See Section
[14] 3rd System Option Code, light 3.
[18]

Auxiliary Delay Loop Entry/Exit Times

This section requires two 3-digit entries to establish the Auxiliary
Entry and Exit Delay times. Do not press [#] during data entry. The
default Entry Delay is 45 seconds and may be changed to any time
from 001 seconds to 255 seconds. The default Exit Delay is 120
seconds and may be changed to any time between 001 to 255
seconds.
For auxiliary delay zone times to be effective, the zone must be
programmed as a type [7] in the Zone Definition Section [11].
[19]

System Clock Times

This section requires two 4-digit entries to set the Automatic Arming
Time of Day and the Test Transmission Time of Day. Do not press
[#] during data entry. Factory default for both these times is '9999';
that is, NO automatic arming or test transmission will take place
even if those functions are enabled. VALID times must be entered
in this section before these features will function.
The system clock is in military time. Two digits from '00' to '23' are
entered for the hour of the day and two digits from '00' to '59' are
entered for the minute of the hour.
Test transmission or periodic downloading is selected in section
[14] option [3]. The cycle time in days for the test transmission or
periodic downloading is set in section [17] System Times. For a test
transmission using the communicator, an automatic test code
should be entered in section [10]. For periodic downloading or a
test transmission using the communicator, a valid transmission
time must be entered in section [19].
NOTE: Upon power-up, if either the Auto-Arm or the test transmission
time has a valid time entered, then a loss-of-time trouble for the
system clock will be initiated. Enter [
6 will be ON. If neither the Auto-Arm nor test transmission has a valid
time, then a trouble will not be initiated.

Once the section number has been entered ([20], [21] or [22]),
enter a new 4-digit code. Only use digits 0 through 9 as code
numbers. Do not press [ *
code, complete entry of the 4 digits then enter the section number
again to enter the correct code.

Communication Formats

This section sets the type of format which will be sent to each of the
two telephone numbers programmed in section [01] and [03]. For
each telephone number, enter one digit from the list below. See the
HEX data programming section for details on how to enter digits 'A'
through 'F'.
The selection for each phone number is determined by the type of
receiver being called. Enter the format number for the 1st telephone
number first. It is necessary to program both telephone format
numbers even if the first phone number is the only one being used.

Communications Compatibility
All these communication formats are compatible with the Silent
Knight model SK9000 and Ademco model 685 receivers.
10 BPS and 20 BPS Formats
10 BPS is the standard slow format used on Silent Knight / Ademco
receivers. DATA = 1900 Hz; KISSOFF = 1400 Hz; SPEED = 10 baud
20 BPS is the standard fast format used on the DCI / Franklin /
Sescoa and Vertex receivers. DATA = 1800 Hz; KISSOFF = 2300
Hz; SPEED = 20 baud
Radionics Format
For conventional Radionics 3/1 format, the communications mode
should be set on either Radionics rounds [B] or Radionics parity
[C]. The extended version of the Radionics format is normally used.
The following guidelines are provided to help in configuring the
PC1550 for Radionics format.
1. The customer account code must be only 3 digits with a zero
making up the 4th digit (i.e. Enter 1230 to program an account
code of 123).
2. The zone alarm reporting codes must all be single digit numerical
codes with no extended 2nd round being sent (i.e. Zone 1 = 10,
Zone 2 = 20... Zone 6 = 60). The zero in the 2nd digit position
tells the PC1550 not to send an extended round.
3. All other non-alarm reporting codes must be set up to send an
extended 2nd round. The 1st digit of the reporting code is used
to identify the event while the 2nd or extended digit is used to
associate the event with a particular item (i.e. A reporting code
of E3 means restore zone 3. E = restore, 3 = zone 3).
4. The following is a list of 1st digit identifiers that should be used
with the Radionics format.
Restorals "E"

i.e. E3 = restore zone 3
