FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS Keypad Programmable PC2525 Control Panel The PC2525 is complete with a default program so • Eight fully programmable zones that it is operational with a minimum of programming. - EOL resistor supervised option The control panel is completely programmable from - all zones programmable as fire zones the keypad.
Ground Connection: EGND Terminal The PC2525 has been designed to function properly whether the control panel is connected to ground or not. If the control panel is to be grounded, the connection to earth ground must be made to a copper cold water pipe or to a properly installed ground rod not less than 6' (2.83 m) in length.
Smoke detectors should be the latching type and have normally-open alarm initiating contacts. A DSC RM-1 Relay should be used to connect power to the smoke detectors; refer to the hook-up diagram below. Power wiring from the AUX+ / PGM terminals should be supervised using a DSC RM-1 Relay connected after the last smoke detector.
GUIDELINES FOR LOCATING SMOKE DETECTORS Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments using typical fires in family living units indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke detectors should be installed Bedroom Bedroom...
Master Code A default Master Code “1234” is factory programmed into the PC2525. The Master Code is used to arm and ∗ disarm the panel, to reset the bells after an alarm, to program up to 7 additional codes using the [ ][5] command, ∗...
Bypass Disable: The PC2525 can be programmed by the installer to prevent certain zones from being bypassed by the user. Lights for these zones will not come ON in response to the bypass command. Refer to the Zone Bypass Mask instructions in Programming Section [12].
7 Fire Alarm Circuit Trouble An open circuit on any zone programmed as a fire zone will initiate a trouble. 8 Loss of Time on System Clock When the PC2525 is powered up or reset, the internal time of day clock needs to be reset to the correct time.
User Programming Commands ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ]+[5]+[Master Code] ∗ The [ ][5] programming command allows the user to program Access Codes 2 through 8; the First Access Code is the Master Code. The factory default for the Master Code is “1234”. The 8th Access Code may be changed from a regular code to a One-Time Use Code by turning ON Zone Light 1 in Section [09].
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ]+[6]+[Master Code]+[2] The PC2525 can be programmed to arm at the same time each day. To set the Auto-Arm time, enter ∗ ][6][Master Code][2] then enter the hours and minutes as described at the beginning of this section.
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ]+[8]+[Installer’s Code] ∗ The PC2525 is completely programmed from the keypad by using commands in the [ ][8] section. These commands are described in detail in the programming section of this manual. The default Installer’s Code is [2525].
The PC2525 is fully keypad-programmable, and also supports downloading programming functions. The system’s EEPROM memory can be reprogrammed thousands of times and will not lose program data even after total loss of power. This section of the manual describes how to program the PC2525 using the system’s keypad.
SYSTEM PROGRAMMING SECTIONS [00] Binary Programming This section is normally used upon instruction from factory technical personnel for specialized programming not covered by the standard programming instructions. [01] Zone Definitions Program eight 2-digit numbers in this section. The first digit determines the audible characteristics of the zone, while the second digit determines the zone’s operation.
To restore the smoke detectors to normal, clear all products of combustion from the detectors and perform ∗ a reset by pressing the [ ] then [7] keys. See Section [06] for programming the PGM terminal for smoke ∗ detector reset. Pressing [ ][7] will remove power from the smoke detectors for 5 seconds;...
[06] Programmable Output Options The PGM terminal can be programmed to operate in response to various system operations. The output pulse connects the PGM terminal to the negative power rail. The switching transistor used for this purpose can sink up to 55 mA.
[07] Keypad Lockout Options This section determines how the Keypad Lockout function operates. The first number determines how many invalid Access Codes need to be entered to lockout the keypad; enter a 2-digit number from 00 to 99. The second number determines how long, in minutes, the keypad will be locked out. Enter a 2-digit number from 00 to 99.
[09] Second System Option Code Zone Light 1: One Time Use Code Option ON: One Time Use Code Enabled. Access Code 8 may be used to disarm and then later arm the system only once. After the One Time Use Code is used to arm the system, it will be deleted and will not be able to arm or disarm the system.
OFF. NOTE: The 2-minute Keypad Timeout must not be selected if the LCD600 Keypad or the Escort Voice Assisted Security Control Module is used with the PC2525. • OFF: No Keypad Time-out. The keypad lights will remain ON at all times.
[11] Fourth System Option Code Zone Light 1: Bell Pulse Options ON: Bell Pulses for All Alarms. The bell or siren will pulse for all types of audible alarms. • OFF: Bell Pulses for Fire Alarm Only. The bell or siren will pulse for Fire and [F] Key alarms. For all other audible alarms, the bell or siren will sound a steady alarm.
COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMMING SECTIONS [30] First Telephone Number This is the first telephone number the Communicator will dial. After entering Section [30], enter the telephone number the same way you would dial it on a touch-tone phone. Press [#] after the last digit to complete the telephone number programming.
[35] Restoral Reporting Codes, Zones 1 - 8 These reporting codes are used by the communicator to transmit zone restorals for zones 1 through 8. Program 8 2-digit numbers in this section. [36] Closing (Arming) Reporting Codes for Access Codes 1 - 8 Reporting codes 1 to 8 are used to identify closings for Access Codes 1 to 8.
1230 for account code 123). 2 The zone alarm reporting codes must all be single digit numerical codes with no extended 2nd round being sent. The zero in the 2nd digit of the reporting code tells the PC2525 not to send an extended round.
Partial Closing Sescoa Super Speed Format The following guidelines are provided to help in configuring the PC2525 for use with the Sescoa Super Speed format. 1 The account code must be four decimal digits in length and in the range of 0001 to 3374.
[46] First Communicator Option Code Zone Light 1: Communicator Disabled / Enabled ON: Communicator Disabled. The system’s communicator will be shut off and events will not be transmitted to the monitoring station. • OFF: Communicator Enabled. The system’s communicator will be enabled and all events with reporting codes will be reported to the monitoring station.
Zone Light 8 Closing Confirmation Enabled / Disabled ON: Closing Confirmation Enabled. When an Access Code is entered to arm the system, the Exit Delay time will not begin until one of the following events occurs: • The closing is successfully transmitted to the monitoring station. When the closing is transmitted, the keypad will sound an acknowledgement tone to indicate that the monitoring station has been advised of the closing.
DOWNLOADING PROGRAMMING SECTIONS [70] First Downloading Option Code Zone Light 1: Downloading Answer Enabled / Disabled ON: Downloading Answer Enabled. The system will answer calls for downloading after the number of rings programmed in Section [74]. • OFF: Downloading Answer Disabled. The system will not answer incoming calls. With Downloading Answer disabled, downloading must be performed with the User Call-up or Periodic Downloading functions.
NOTE: Panels returned to DSC with the Installer Lockout feature enabled and no other apparent problems will be subject to an additional service charge.
