DSC PC4000 System Manual page 7

Step 1 - Define all Partitions
When the panel is first powered up the 16 zones on the
main panel are assigned to Partition 1. Any additional
zones enrolled to the system are NOT assigned to any
Partition.
Any zones from 1 through 16 that are required on a
different Partition must be DELETED from Partition 1
before they are ADDED to another Partition. Any zones
above Zone 16 must be ADDED to the proper Partition.
See "Zone Assignment" in the Programming Manual for
the procedure to add and delete zones.
When you ADD each zone to the proper Partition it will
save time if you also program the Zone Label, Zone
Type, Zone Options and Reporting codes for the zone.
All of this information may be entered in the
Programming Work Sheets located in Book 2 and in the
program sheets included with each Zone Expansion
module.
Step 2 - Assign User Codes
From default the panel comes with one User Code
assigned as a Grand Master, code '1234'. The other 127
User Codes are assigned as Partition 1 codes.
If more than one Partition is being utilized it will be
necessary to assign User Codes to the additional
Partition(s). Since there are no available User Codes
(they are all assigned to Partition 1) it will be necessary
to first delete User Codes from Partition 1. Once codes
are deleted from Partition 1 they will be available to be
assigned to another Partition or as System Masters.
See "Code Assignment" in the Programming Manual.
Step 3 - Program the System
Now that the Partitions have been defined, zones
programmed and access codes assigned you are
ready to program the rest of the system. It is best to
follow the Programming Work Sheets starting at the
beginning and carefully programming each section.
Having the required information entered ahead of time
will speed up this process considerably.
Once the Installer Programming is complete you can
program access codes ([ ][5][Master Code]). Next,
features on each partition can be enabled. Go to a
keypad assigned to the desired partition and enable the
features through [ ][6][Master Code] commands.
Step 4 - Testing the System
See "Bell/Comm Test" under [ ][6] User Functions or do
the following. Contact the monitoring station to request a
transmission test. Plug the telephone cord into the RJ31-
X jack. If a DTS-1 is being used to monitor communicator
transmissions, connect it to the telephone line and place
the DTS-1 in the line mode by pressing the red "LINE/
LOCAL" button. Arm the panel, wait for the exit delay to
expire and trip a detector on an instant circuit. Wait for
the communication to complete. Disarm the panel and
check with the monitoring station to confirm acceptance
of the transmission. Perform additional transmissions
required by the monitoring station.
Check the "TROUBLE" light on the keypad. If it is on,
press [ ] then [2] to determine the trouble. The "Trouble
Display" section in "Keypad Functions" gives a
description of the different trouble conditions.
Step 5 - Instructing the End User
Describe system operation to authorized users.
Provide user with the instruction manual and instruct
them to read it to become familiar with the system
operation.
Instruct the user to test the system on a regular basis
as described in the Instruction Manual. The Master
Code should be changed from the default setting and
recorded.
There is a wide range of possible uses for the [ ][4]
and [ ][7] commands which are not described in the
instruction manual. Be sure to explain the functions of
the [ ][4] Sensor Reset and the [ ][7] Utility Output to
the user if they are incorporated into the system.
Hardware Reset of Memory to Factory
Defaults
If the installer's code is lost through inadvertent
programming, the only means of reprogramming the
system is by a hardware reset. If the installer's lockout
is enabled, there is no way to reprogram the system
without entering the correct installer's code.
The PC4000 can also be reset through software in the
installer's programming. See "Factory Default" in the
Programming Guide.
NOTE: Panels returned to DSC with the Installer's
Lockout feature enabled and no other apparent
problems will be subject to an additional service charge.
To reset the panel to factory default conditions:
1.Power the system down by removing both AC and
battery power to the main panel.
2.Short the zone 1 terminal and the pgm terminal on the
main panel.
3.Restore power to the main panel.
4.Wait for 20 seconds then remove the short between
the pgm and zone 1.
5.The system will have reloaded the memory with
factory defaults. All modules will have to be enrolled
again. The event buffer is the only part of memory that
is retained during a factory default.
