Section 5: Program Descriptions; Programming Security Codes; Zone Programming - DSC PC585 Installation Manual

The following section explains the operation of all programmable
features and options and provides a summary of all
corresponding programming locations.
5.1

Programming Security Codes

There are three codes which can be programmed by the
installer in the Installer's Programming function: the Master
code, the Installer's code, and a Maintenance code. All other
access codes can be programmed through the [ ] [5] command
(see Section 3.4).
The master code can also be programmed by the user as access
code (40). If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled,
the system master code can only be changed by the installer.
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 when bypassing zones.
Individual access codes can have the Zone Bypassing attribute
disabled under Access Code Attribute programming (see
section 3.4 "[ ][5] Programming Access Codes").
If the 6-Digit User Access Codes option is enabled, all the access
codes may be programmed with six digits instead of four, with the
exception of the Panel ID code and the Downloading Access Code.

The Maintenance code is limited to arming and
disarming the system. The Maintenance code
cannot use [ ][9] to arm the system, bypass
zones, or perform [ ][7] command functions.
5.2

Zone Programming

All eight zones are enabled by default. Unused zones should be
disabled in programming section [202].
Section [001] will allow you to select how each of the zones you
use will operate. Each zone requires a two-digit code to be
programmed, which describes the zone definition. Select a
definition from the list below.
In addition, each zone has eight different attributes which may
be programmed in sections [101] to [108] (see Section 5.3 –
"Zone Attributes").
Zone Definitions
[00] Null Zone
The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as
Null zones.
[01] Delay 1 Zone
This zone type, normally used for entry/exit doors, can be
violated during the exit delay time without causing an alarm.
Once the exit delay has expired, opening the zone will start the
entry delay timer. During the entry delay time, the keypad
buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system
should be disarmed. If the panel is disarmed before the entry
time expires, no alarm will be generated.
[02] Delay 2 Zone
The Delay 2 entry delay time can be set independently of Delay
1 in programming section [005] (System Times).
Program Descriptions
S E C T I O N
[03] Instant Zone
This zone type will cause an instant alarm if it is violated when
the panel is armed. Typically, this zone is used for windows,
patio doors or other perimeter zones, and glass break detectors.
[04] Interior Zone
This zone will not cause an alarm if violated during the entry
delay. If the zone is violated before the entry delay has begun,
it will cause an instant alarm. Typically, this zone is used for
interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.
[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone
This zone type works similarly to the Interior zone type, except
that it will be automatically bypassed under the following
conditions:
• When the panel is armed in the Stay Mode (see Section 3.5
"Function Keys").
• When the panel is armed without entry delay (see Section 3.4
"[ ] [9] Arming Without Entry Delay").
• When the panel is armed with an access code and a Delay
type zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay.
The automatic bypass prevents the user from having to manually
bypass interior type zones when arming at home. This zone is
typically used for interior protection devices, such as motion
detectors.
[06] Delay Stay/Away Zone
This zone type will operate similarly to Interior Stay/Away zones,
except that it will always provide an entry delay. Typically, this zone
is used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.
This zone option will help prevent false alarms since it always
provides an entry delay time for the user to turn off the panel.
Hardwire motion detectors covering entry/exit
doors that are using wireless transmitters must
be programmed as Delay Stay/Away. If not, the
panel may see the motion detector violation
before the entry/exit transmitter has time to
transmit to the receiver, causing a false alarm.
[07] Delayed 24 Hour Fire Zone
Do not wire Fire zones on keypad zone terminals
if the DEOL supervision option is enabled for the
panel (section [013], option [2]).
When this zone is violated, the alarm output will be immediately
activated (pre-alert) but the communicator will be delayed for
30 seconds. If the user presses any key on any keypad during
this delay, the alarm output and the communicator will be
delayed an additional 90 seconds, giving the user time to
correct the problem. If the zone is still violated after the 90
second delay, the panel will sound the alarm output and delay
the communicator for 30 seconds.
If the user does not press a key during the 30 second pre-alert,
the alarm output will latch and the panel will communicate the
alarm 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 Section 5.13 "Siren").
If a second Fire type zone is violated or if the Fire
keys are pressed during the delay period, the
panel will latch the alarm output and will immedi-
ately communicate the alarm.
