System Master Code Functions - DSC Maxsys PC4020 System Manual

With the option global keypads annunciate all entry delays
disabled, audible entry delay will only be heard on the
Global keypad when all activated partitions are armed. If
the option global keypads annunciate entry delays is
enabled, then any audible entry delay will be enunciated
on global keypads.
The Trouble LED of the Global keypad will activate for all
troubles, including fire zones that belong to just one
partition. If the "Global Keypad Displays Trouble" toggle
is disabled, the user must enter a valid access code and
then loan the keypad to their partition. From here the
user can enter [ ] [2] to view the trouble, if it belongs to
their partition. If the option is enabled, the troubles can
be viewed from the global menu.
To access the System Master Menu from a global keypad,
select a partition, re-enter the System Master Code, then
press [9] or use the [<][>] keys to scroll through the
menu. Press [ ] to select the System Master options.

System Master Code Functions

System Master Codes may perform any function for any
partition on the system except change or delete the
System Grand Master Code. Enter [System Master Code]
[9] to display the System Master Code Function Menu:
[0] View Event Buffer
[2] Set System Date
[4] System Reset
[0] View Event Buffer - This function allows any Master
Code to review the Event Buffer on the keypad display.
The first line of the display will show the event number
and the partition on which the event occurred; the
second line of the display will show the date and time
of the event. Press the [ ] key to display a description
of the event. Use the [<] [>] keys to scroll through the
list of events in the Event Buffer. Event 001 is the most
recent event and 512 is the oldest one.
[1] Set System Time programs the system's 24 hour
clock. Enter 4 digits in 24 hour time to set the clock,
the first 2 digits are the hour, the last 2 digits are the
minutes. For example, to program 2:35 pm, type 1435.
[2] Set System Date programs the system's calendar.
Enter 6 digits, the first two digits are the month, the
middle 2 digits are the day, and the last two digits are
the year. For example, to program Feb 14, 1994 type
021494.
[3] Enable DLS Window - The end user can enable ring
detect for 60 minutes to allow a computer to call the
panel. The installer can disable this function in the DLS
section of the installer's programming.
[4] System Reset - A System Reset turns off the power to
the Combus for 5 seconds. No programming will be
lost and the time will not have to be reprogrammed. A
system reset should be done if there is a Combus
Communications fault or an Internal fault.
[5] Previous Menu - If the user decides to do nothing,
either select this option, or press the [#] key to return
to the arm/disarm menu.

Installer's Programming Code
A default installer's programming code "4020" is programmed
into the PC4020. 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.
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. These zones will remain bypassed until [ ][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.
Note: The auto-bypassed zones will only send a
tamper alarm when the tamper condition is activated,
using Double EOL resistors.
Partition Keypads
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. The system cannot be armed unless the
"Enter Code to Arm System" or "Secure System or Enter
Code" message is displayed.
If Double EOL resistors are being used, 3 different
messages can be displayed when viewing open zones,
Zone Open, Zone Tamper and Zone Fault. Zone Open will
be displayed if the zone is in the alarm state (total resistance
between the zone terminal and common is 11200 ohms),
Zone Fault will be displayed if the zone is shorted, and Zone
Tamper will be displayed if the zone is open.
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 single partition access code. As each digit is
entered the keypad will beep.
• If the access 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.
