KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

Introduction

The PC1500RK remote keypad provides complete information
and control of the PC1500 control panel. The panel can be
fully programmed from the keypad. The 6 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
five function 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
PC1500. The Master Code is used to arm and disarm the panel,
to reset the bells after an alarm, to program up to 11 additional
codes using the [
functions using the [
allows the user to change the Master Code. The panel can be
programmed, by the installer, so the user cannot change the
Master Code. See 2nd System Option Code light 2.

2nd Master Code

A second Master Code can be programmed into the PC1500.
This code can be changed by the installer only, and is useful
where there are multiple panels in a complex. The 2nd Master
Code may be used as a "Master Key". The default 2nd
Master Code is blank.

Installer's Programming Code

A default Installer's Programming Code "1500" is programmed
into the PC1500. Using this code and 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

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 [31], zone light 4 ON.

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. (See programming
Section [11], Zone Definitions for programming zones as
"Home-away").
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 [
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 [
[any valid access code]. An exit may be made as in normal
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.

Disarming

Enter the premises through the designated entry-exit door.
The keypad sounder will be on as a reminder to disarm the
system. Go to the keypad and enter a valid access code. If an
error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and enter
the code again. The "Armed" light will go out and the sounder

will stop. The correct access code must be entered before the
entry time expires or the panel will go into alarm. To change the
entry time see Installer's Programming Section [17].
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, upon
disarming the "Memory" light and the zone light(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the alarm will flash for two minutes.
Pressing the [#] key will stop the flashing, extinguish the
zone light(s) and return the panel to the ready mode. The
"Memory" light will stay on steady to indicate that an alarm
did occur during the last armed period. To view the zone(s)
that caused the alarm, see Alarm Memory Display [

or if damage to contacts or wiring cannot be repaired
immediately. The panel can be armed with one or more
zones bypassed even if the zone(s) are open. The "Ready"
light will be ON and the "Bypass" light will be ON if a zone is
bypassed. A fire zone cannot be bypassed.
If the "Bypass" light is ON when arming, use the [

any zone displayed as being bypassed is intentionally
