Monitoring

This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information over telephone
lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the monitoring
station to prevent an unnecessary response.
Note: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.

General System Operation

Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more LCD5500 security stations and
various detectors and sensors. The DSC control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility room
or 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 person to have access to the control
panel. The LCD5500 keypads have an audible indicator, an alphanumeric LCD, (Liquid Crystal
Display), and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to
display the current system status. The security station(s) will be mounted in convenient locations
inside the protected premises close to the exit-entry doors.
The security system has several zones or areas of protection and each of these zones will have one
or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts or
shock sensors). When a sensor is in alarm, the zone in alarm will be displayed on the LCD5500
security station,

Trouble and Armed LED Displays

The LCD5500 has a yellow LED on the right side of the keypad which represents the trouble status of
the panel. There is a red LED in the middle which represents the armed status of the panel. There is
a green LED on the left side which represents the ready status of the panel.

Master Code

The four digit Master Code is used for arming and disarming the security system, programming
additional security codes and changing other features. The Master Code will be supplied to you by
your installer. If enabled by your installer, the Master Code can be changed at any time. (See
Programming Security Codes section.)
