Installer's Programming Code
A default installer's programming code "4000" is
programmed into the PC4000. This code is used with
the [ ][8] command by the installer to gain access to
the system in order to enter panel or communicator
program information. The installer's program code may
be changed by the installer.
Arming
Close all protected doors and windows and stop
movement in areas covered by motion detectors.
The "Enter Code to Arm System" message should be on
the LCD display. Check to see if [<][>] are displayed on
the LCD and press the [<][>] keys to view the extra
information if they are. The system cannot be armed
unless the "Enter Code to Arm System" or "Secure
System or Enter Code" message is displayed.
The "Secure System or Enter Code" message is used to
indicate to the user that a force armable zone is open,
and the partition can still be armed. After the partition is
armed, if the force armable zone is secured it will
become an active zone, and will cause an alarm if the
zone opens again.
To program a zone as force armable, see "Zone
Options" in the Programming Manual.
Enter a [4 Digit Security Code]. As each digit is entered
the keypad will beep.
If the security code was entered incorrectly, the
keypad will beep steadily for 2 seconds.
If the code was entered correctly but the message
"Secure System Before Arming" is on the display, the
keypad will beep quickly followed by a steady tone.
When the correct code is entered, the "Exit delay in
Progress" message will come on and the keypad will
beep quickly.
If enabled, a timer will appear in the right side of the
display indicating the remaining time in the exit
delay. Exit the premises through the designated exit-
entry door. At the end of the allowed exit time the
message on the keypad will change to "Enter Code to
Disarm System". See the "Installer's Programming
[ ][8] Command" section on how to change the exit
time. Also see "Quick-arm" and "At-home Arm".
Disarming
Enter the premises through the designated exit-entry
door. The keypad buzzer will be on. Go to the keypad
and enter the [4 digit security code]. If an error is made
in entering the code, press the [#] key and enter the
code again. The "Armed" light will go out and the
keypad buzzer will stop. The correct security code must
be entered before the allowed entry time expires. To
change the entry time see "Installers Programming
Command", [ ][8]. If an alarm occurred while the panel
was armed, the "View Memory" message will be on the
display with the zone name for the zone that caused the
alarm. The display will keep those messages on for two
minutes or until the [#] key is pressed to return the panel
to the normal arm-disarm mode.
Auto-bypass/Home-away Arming
If a correct security 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. These zones will remain bypassed until a
delay zone is tripped or [ ][1] is entered to reactivate
bypassed home-away zones.
This is a convenience feature for the user who wishes
to remain on the premises with the system armed. The
user does not have to manually bypass the home-away
zones.
To reactivate the Home-away zones that have been
automatically bypassed, press [ ][1]. This command is
a quick method of fully arming the system in residential
applications before going to bed.
Zone Bypassing
[ ]+[1]
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If a zone is
bypassed the panel may be armed even if the zone is
open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to
part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or
contacts on a zone may be temporarily bypassed until
repairs can be made so that the panel can be armed.
To bypass zones, enter [ ][1]. An access code may be
required if the installer has enabled that option. A menu
will appear.
[0] Bypass Zones - This selection takes you
immediately to bypassing zones. Use the [<][>] to
select the zones to be bypassed and press the [ ] key
to select the zone. A " " will appear beside the zone
label to indicate the zone will be bypassed when the
partition is armed.
A zone search routine allows the user to find the desired
zone to bypass by entering in the first letter of the zone
to search for, and pressing one of the [<][>] keys. The
[<] key will search for the first zone on the partition that
begins with the letter selected. The [>] key will search
for the last zone on the partition that begins with the
letter selected.
The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among
the 1-9 number keys on the keypad.
