Programming Additional Access Codes; Quick-Arm Feature; Keypad Zones; Maintenance - DSC PC2550 Instruction Manual

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL ACCESS CODES

Up to 15 access codes in addition to the Master Code can be entered from the
keypad.
Enter [ ][5][Master Code]. The "Program" light will flash and the zone lights will
show which of codes 1 to 8 have already been programmed. To enter a new
code or change an existing code, first press the code number (1 to 8) and then
enter your [4 digit] code. To erase a code, press [
code. Note that the [ ] and [#] keys cannot be used in a code.
For codes 9 to 16, after entering [ ][5][Master Code], press [9]. The "Ready",
"Armed"and "Program" lights will flash and the zone lights 1 to 8 will indicate
which of codes 9 to 16 have been entered. As above, to change or enter a code,
select the code by pressing 1 to 8 and then enter your [4 digit] code. Entering
[ ] erases a code. Pressing [9] again will change back to codes 1 to 8.
Pressing [#] returns you to ready mode. Access Code 16 ([ ][5][Master
Code][9][8][4 digits]) can be set up by your installer to be used by a maid or
other service personnel one time only. Each time you enter this code, it can be
used to disarm your system but is erased when used to arm the system, ensuring
just one-time access.

QUICK-ARM FEATURE

When the Quick-Arm feature is enabled, the panel may be armed simply by
entering [ ][0] instead of a 4 digit code. The [ ][0] command will not disarm the
panel.
Enter [ ][6][Master Code][4] to turn ON and OFF the Quick-Arm feature. When
the command is entered, the keypad will beep 3 times if the feature is being
enabled and will sound one long beep if the feature is being disabled.
Press [#] to return to Ready.
QUICK EXIT OPTION
This feature, if selected by your installer, allows one exit with the system armed
without affecting its current armed status.
Pressing [ ][0] gives you 2 minutes to exit if you have already armed the system.
This is useful if you want to exit while preserving the protection for someone left
on the premises. Once you have exited, the system will be armed as before. If
the zone is open after 2 minutes or there has been more than one exit, the pre-
alert will sound.
DOOR CHIME FEATURE
The door chime feature is used, while the panel is disarmed, to provide a tone
from the keypad each time a door or window is opened or closed. The doors and
windows which will provide this indication are programmed by your installer.
Enter [ ][6][Master Code][6] to turn the door chime feature ON and OFF. When
the command is entered, the keypad will beep 3 times if the feature is being
enabled and will sound one long beep if the feature is being disabled.

KEYPAD ZONES

There are three zones which can be activated from the keypad. These zones
may or may not be active on your keypads depending on how your installer has
programmed them.
[F] Key: Keypad FIRE zone. Pressing this key for 2 seconds will activate the
keypad fire zone and the bell/siren output will pulse ON and OFF.
This zone is annunciated by the "Fire" light on the keypad.
[A] Key: Keypad AUXILIARY zone. Pressing this key for 2 seconds will
produce a series of beeps on the keypad along with the
transmission. To confirm transmission, the keypad sounder will
beep 6 times.
[P] Key: Keypad PANIC zone. Depending on how your installer programs
the panel, pressing this key for 2 seconds may produce a
completely silent alarm or an audible alarm along with the
transmission. If programmed as audible, the alarm bell will ring.

MAINTENANCE

With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following
should be observed:
1. Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp
cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2. The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is
recommended that the stand-by battery be replaced every three years.
3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared,
ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult
the respective manufacturer's literature for testing and maintenance.
