If an Alarm Sounds

Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow
your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see "Fire Escape Planning" on page 15).
Intrusion Alarm
If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous Bell or Siren, the alarm may be silenced by
entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an
unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the "Disarming" section (see
page 6). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to its original
Armed state.
NOTE: A fire alarm has priority over a burglary type alarm.

Function Keys

(Not available on the PC1555RKZ)
The keypads have five function keys – marked Stay, Away, Chime, Reset and Exit – which allow easy
single-button activation of the most commonly used features. If your installer has enabled these keys, you can
execute their programmed function by pressing and holding the corresponding key for two seconds.
For information regarding the operation of the function keys, talk to your alarm installer.

Programming Security Codes

Programming codes from an LED or Fixed Message LCD5501Z keypad:
The Master Code
To program the Master Code, enter [ ][5][current Master Code][40][new Master Code]. The Master
Code must be four digits long, unless otherwise indicated by your installer. Enter digits 0 through 9
only. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
NOTE: You must program all digits in each access code.

recommend that the factory default or obvious codes such as [1111] or [1234] not be used.
Additional Codes
Up to 32 additional access codes (01 through 32) may be programmed.
To program a new code:
Enter [ ][5][Master Code][code number 01 to 32][new access code]. The code number is a double
digit from 01 to 32. Access codes must be four digits unless otherwise indicated by your installer.
Enter digits 0 through 9 only. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
If an access code already exists for the code number you have selected, it will be replaced by the new
code. Be sure to record your new code(s) on the "System Information" page in this book.
To erase a code:
Enter [ ][5][Master Code][code number 01 to 32][ ]. Press [#] to return to the Ready state. The
