33] [34] Split Arming - DSC PC2550 Installation Manual

[9] Failure to Communicate Output With this option the
"PGM OUT" terminal switches to ground if the system
fails to communicate with the monitoring station after 8
attempts. The output stays switched to ground until a
successful communication takes place or until trouble
#5 is cleared from the keypad. This option may be used
to tie two systems together. One system can then be
made to report a communication failure for the other.
[A] TLM and Alarm With this option the "PGM OUT"
terminal switches to ground if the system has a TLM
fault and any alarm condition. The output follows the
length of 'bell time out'.
[B] Courtesy Pulse With this option the "PGM OUT"
terminal switches to ground during the course of the
entry and exit times. It could be used to turn on a light
near the exit for the duration of the entry/exit times.
[C] PGM Squawk Output must be selected in order to use
PGM Squawk on Entry/ Exit Delay options in section [59].
[D] 2nd Line Slave With this option the "PGM OUT"
terminal switches to ground after four unsuccessful
attempts have been made to the phone number being
dialed. The output will stay switched until the panel has
hung up. This could be used to switch the panel to a
backup set of phone lines.
[E] Kissoff Output With this option the "PGM OUT"
terminal switches to ground after the kissoff has been
received to complete a "successful" communication to
the central station. The terminal switches to ground for 2
seconds.
[F] Remote Operation With this option the "PGM OUT"
terminal can be switched remotely using the DLS-1
software (version 5.3 or later).

[31] [32] [33] [34] Split Arming

"Split Arming" feature permits a single control panel to act
as two independent alarm systems, each with its own
opening and closing schedules, zone assignments and
authorized users.
The allowable zone and access code assignments to system
A or system B are described below. Typically, zones and
access codes are assigned to either Group A or Group B but
the PC2550 can be programmed for zones and access
codes that are common to both Group A and Group B.
The following four sections are each programmed the same
as section [15].
Split System Zone and Access Assignments
[31] Group A Zone Assignment for Zones 1 to 8.
[32] Group B Zone Assignment for Zones 1 to 8.
[33] Group A Access Code Assignment for Codes 1 to 8.
Note: Codes 9 to 16 are always assigned to Group A.
[34] Group B Access Code Assignment for Codes 1 to 8.
Note: Codes 9 to 16 cannot be assigned to Group B.
Common Zones
If a zone (1 through 8 only) is assigned to both Group A and
Group B then both Group A and Group B must be armed for
that zone to be armed.
Common Access Code
If an access code (1 through 8 only) is assigned to Group A
and Group B then that access code will arm and disarm the
entire panel.
Armed Status Indications
When the panel is established as a split system, and ONE
side only [Group A or B] is armed, the "Armed" indicator will
flash and the zone indicators for the group that has been
armed will flash.
If both Group A and Group B are armed the "Armed"
indicator will be on steadily and the zone lights will not flash.
Zone Bypassing Access Code
When the system is established for split arming, [ ] [1]
bypassing should be set so that bypassing requires the use
of an access code (see section [16]).
Communicator
When the PC2550 is set up for "split arming" and both
Group A and Group B systems are reporting to the same
telephone number with different account codes, Group A
burglar alarms and restorals are programmed as [1] in
section [35] to call the 1st phone number only. Light 7 in
section [15] must be turned "ON".
Group B burglar alarms and restorals are programmed with
a [2] in Section [35] to call the 2nd phone number only. It is
necessary to program both the 1st and 2nd phone number
locations with the same telephone number.
Notes:
1.The following restrictions apply to split arming
applications:
• The Master Code must be assigned to side A and
B.
• All codes and zones must be assigned even if not
used.
• Transmission Delay must not be used.
• Home - Away zones must not be used.
• Exit Delay Termination must not be used (section
[59] light 7 OFF).
• Closing Confirmation must not be used (section
[59] light 6 OFF).
2. PGM OUT Option A, Quick Exit, and alarms displayed
while armed will only work in a fully armed system.
[35] Communicator Call Direction
Options
Programming this section tells the dialer whether to send
transmissions to the 1st or 2nd telephone number.
There are four classes of dialer call direction options.
