KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

Introduction

The PC2550RK Keypad provides complete information and control of the PC2525 control panel. The panel can
be fully programmed from the keypad. The 8 Zone Lights provide alarm and status indication for the alarm
circuits. Each zone can be programmed to be a burglary zone or a fire zone. The 7 system lights guide the user
in operating the system and the built-in sounder lets the user hear correct key entries and other alert signals. The
12-digit keypad is used for code entry and other programming functions. The single button [F]ire, [A]uxiliary and
[P]anic keys provide the user with simple operation for emergency signalling. All keypad entries are made by
pressing one key at a time.

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 [
and to enter other user functions using the [
change the Master Code. The panel can be programmed so that the user cannot change the Master Code; refer
to Programming Section [09] Second System Option Code.

Second Master Code

A second Master Code can be programmed into the PC2525. This code can be changed by the installer only.
The default Second Master Code is blank.

Installer's Programming Code

A default Installer's Programming Code "2525" is programmed into the PC2525. Using the [
Code] command, the installer can gain access to the system to enter panel program information. This code can
be changed by the installer.

Arming

Before arming the panel, close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by motion
detectors. If the "Trouble" light is on, check for the type of trouble ([
condition. If the "Bypass" light is on, insure that the zones bypassed are bypassed intentionally, ([
command). If the "Ready" light is not on, one or more zones are open. The system can only be armed when the
"Ready" light is ON. To arm, enter a 4-digit Access Code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will
beep. When the correct Access Code has been entered the "Armed" light will come ON and the keypad will beep
6 times. If the Access Code has been entered incorrectly, the keypad will sound one long tone. Press the [#] key
and enter the Access Code again.
When the correct Access Code has been entered and the "Armed" light is ON, exit through the designated entry/
exit door before the exit delay time expires. At the end of the allowed exit time, all lights on the keypad will go out
except the "Armed" light. The "Bypass" light will be ON if a zone is bypassed and if Show Bypassed Status While
Armed is programmed in Section [09], Zone Light 7 ON.
See Installer's Programming Section [

Auto-Bypass/Home-away Arming

If a correct Access Code is entered, and you do not exit the premises, the system will, at the end of the exit delay
time, arm with interior zones automatically bypassed if those interior zones have been programmed as "Home-
away" zones. The "Bypass" light will come ON.
This is a convenience feature for the user who wishes to remain at home with the system armed. The user does
not have to manually bypass the interior zones.
To reactivate the interior zones that have been automatically bypassed, press [
out. If the bypassed zones were programmed as Home-away with delay, the "Bypass" light will go out after the
delay. This command is a quick method of fully arming the system before going to bed and is useful for the user
who has a keypad outside the areas protected by the interior zones.

Arming Without Entry Delay

To eliminate the Entry Delay, arm the system using [
arming. The system will arm as described above in Auto-bypass / Home-away arming whether an exit is made or
not. The "Armed" light will flash to indicate that the system is armed without the entry delay.
