Spec. Messages
[ ]+[6]+[Access Code]+[6]
This function enables two special event messages to
be displayed when one of the special events occurs.
The first message is "Fail to Arm". It will be displayed
if the user is unable to arm the partition after entering
a valid code (E.g. Because of activity on the zones.).
The second message is "Alarm When Armed". It will
be displayed if an alarm occurred during the previous
armed period.
See "Event Messages" in the Programming Guide.
User Call up
[ ]+[6]+[Access Code]+[7]
This function must be enabled by the installer. When
selected, the panel will call the downloading computer.
The downloading computer must be waiting for the
panel to call before downloading can be performed.
View Partitions
[ ]+[6]+[Access Code]+[8]
This function will allow the user to view the status of
other partitions that their access code has been enabled
for in the access code partition mask. The partition
mask is programmed in the [ ][5] User Programming
commands, when programming the user access codes.
For example, if an access code has been enabled in the
partition mask for partitions 1, 2 and 5, they can only
view the status of these partitions.
To view the partitions status, press the [<] or [>] key to
toggle through the partitions. The partition labels will be
displayed along with a letter to the far right. The letter
shows the status of that partition.
A means the partition is Armed,
R means the partition is secure and Ready to be
armed, and
N means Not ready to be armed because zones are
not secure.
This function must be enabled by the installer for the
user to be able to enter this section. If the installer
does not enable this section, you will hear an error tone
when selecting this section. See "View Partns" in the
Programming Manual for enabling the "View Partns"
feature.
Utility Output
[ ]+[7] or [ ]+[7]+[Access Code]
The Bell output terminals, switched auxiliary terminals or
any pgm terminals can be programmed for Utility
Output (see Utility Output in the installer's programming
guide). Any output that is programmed for utility output
will be activated when the user enters [ ][7]. See 'Pgm
pulse times' for programming how long the outputs are
activated and see 'Util Req Code' for programming
whether a utility output requires an access code to be
activated.
Installers' Programming Commands
[ ]+[8]+[Installer's Code]
The PC4000 is completely programmed from the keypad
by using commands in the [ ][8] section. The commands
are described in detail in the Programming Manual.
"At-h ome" Arming
[ ]+[9]+[Access Code]
Entering [ ], [9] before the arming code, arms the panel
without any entry delay on the delay zones and
bypasses zones that are defined as "Home-away". This
command is used for arming the system while at home.
Once the panel is Armed in this mode, using [ ], [1] will
remove the bypass from those zones defined as
"Home-away" if they have NOT been manually
bypassed. The [ ][1] command, as used here, only
removes the bypass from zones that were automatically
bypassed with the [ ][9] command.
The armed light will flash to indicate the partition is "At-
home" armed.
Quick Arm
[ ]+[0]
Entering [ ][0] is accepted as a valid arming code when
the "Quick Arm" feature is activated. This command is
often used when individuals are required to arm the
system but not disarm it. This could be used with home
visitors in the case of a residential alarm or junior
employees and maintenance staff in the case of a
commercial alarm. See instructions in the "[ ][6] User
Functions Command" section for activating the "Quick
Arm" feature.
Quick Exit
[ ]+[0] When Armed
Entering [ ], [0] when the system is fully armed will
allow the user 2 minutes to exit the premises through
any delay zone without altering the status of the system
if the "Quick Exit" feature is enabled. After [ ], [0] is
entered into an armed system, one and only one delay
loop may be tripped. Any additional activity on any
other active loop will cause that loop to begin its alarm
sequence. Quick exit activation will be logged onto the
event buffer.
Keypad Zones
There are three zones which can be activated from the
keypad. The alarm and restoral codes for keypad
zones are programmed using the [ ][8] command.
Pressing the [F] key for 2 seconds activates a fire alarm.
The fire alarm sounds the siren/bell in a pulsed fashion.
Pressing the [A] key for 2 seconds activates a silent
emergency keypad zone.
Pressing the [P] key for 2 seconds activates a silent
panic keypad zone.
NOTE: See 'KEYPAD TOG OPT' in the Programming
Guide for changing keypad zones options.
