5.22 Keypad Blanking

If the Blank Keypad When Not in Use option is enabled, the
panel will turn off all lights and LCDs on the keypads when no
keys are pressed for 30 seconds. The keys, however, will
remain backlit.
The panel will turn the lights and LCDs back on if entry delay
begins or an audible alarm occurs. The lights and LCDs will
also come on if a key is pressed or, if a valid access code is
entered when the Code Required to Restore Blanking
option is enabled.
NOTE:If using a PC5132 v3.0 or greater, and wireless keys, do
not enable the Code Required to Restore Blanking option, as
the keys will not function correctly.
If the Power Save Mode option is enabled the panel will blank
all keypad lights including backlighting when AC power fails,
in order to conserve the backup battery.

The keys of all the keypads can be backlit to provide easy
viewing in dim lighting conditions. If the Keypad Backlighting
option is enabled the keys will be illuminated.

5.24 Loop Response

The normal loop response time for all zones is under 400 milli-
seconds.
Zones 1-6 on the control board, however, can be programmed
for a fast loop response (under 40ms).
Zones 1-6 are Fast Loop Response . . . . . Section [030]: [1-6]

5.25 Keypad Tampers

If the Keypad Tampers Enable option is selected, the panel
will display and transmit a General System Tamper reporting
code if any keypad is removed from the wall. When the key-
pad tamper is restored, the panel will transmit the General
System Tamper Restoral reporting code. All keypads should
be properly installed and secured before enabling this option.
If the All System Tampers Require Installer Reset option is
enabled, any system tampers must be reset by entering
[*][8][Installer's Code] before the system can be armed. Auto-
Arming and Keyswitch arming will also be prevented in the
presence of any system tamper.
The Auto Arm Cancellation code is not transmitted when a
reset is required because a user has not cancelled the auto
arming sequence.

5.27 Engineer's Reset

If the Engineer's Reset option is enabled, if the panel has
gone into alarm during the previous armed period, or if a 24
Hour zone has gone into alarm, the system will not be ready to
arm (Ready Light OFF) until:
• Installer's Programming is entered
• Engineer's Reset is performed via Downloading software.
NOTE:This feature applies to Tampers and Faults in both
armed and disarmed states. This does not apply to Module
Tampers, System Supervisories, Zone Expander or PGM2
alarms.

5.28 Clock Adjust

In order to compensate for timing inaccuracies, the panel may
be programmed to add or subtract seconds during the last
minute of each day using the Clock Adjust programming sec-
tion. Valid entries are 01 - 99. The default setting is 60 sec-
onds. To determine the value to be programmed in this
section, monitor the amount of time lost or gained by the panel
over a period of time. Then, calculate the average amount of
time per day that the panel gains or loses. If the clock's timing
is off, it may be corrected with this setting.
Example #1: The clock loses an average of 9 seconds per
day. Solution: Program the panel to adjust the clock by 51
seconds (instead of the default 60 seconds) for the last minute
of each day in section [700]. This will speed up the panel's
clock by 9 seconds, correcting the problem.
Example #2: The clock gains an average of 11 seconds per
day. Solution: Program the panel to adjust the clock by 71
seconds (instead of the default 60 seconds) for the last minute
of each day in section [700]. This will slow down the panel's
clock by 11 seconds, correcting the problem.
NOTE: If the auto-arm time is set for 23:59, any change to the
Clock Adjust option will directly affect the auto-arm pre-alert
time.
