] Commands

[*][1] Zone Bypassing
Users can bypass individual zones using the [*][1] keypad
command. This command can be used if users want to
have access to an area while the partition is armed, or to
bypass a defective zone (bad contact, damaged wiring)
until service can be provided.
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. Instructions on
zone bypassing can be found in the PC5020 User's Guide
('Zone Bypassing').
When the partition is disarmed, all zones bypassed using
[*] [1] will be unbypassed, except for 24-Hr zones.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, an
access code will be required to enter the Bypass mode.
Only access codes with the Bypass attribute enabled will
be able to bypass zones (see section '[*] [5] Programming
Access Codes').
These features are also available on the [*][1] zone bypass-
ing menu:
• Bypass Recall: Press [99] while in the [*][1] menu to
recall the last set of bypassed zones.
• Clear Bypasses: Press [00] while in the [*][1] menu to
clear all bypassed zones.
• Bypass Groups: Users can program a group of zones
to be bypassed (bypass group). Each partition can have
a different bypass group. To program a bypass group,
in the [*][1] menu, select the zones to be bypassed.
Press [95] to save the group. To recall the group, press
[*][1] followed by [91].
Light Trouble
Service Required: Press [1] to determine the specific Trouble. Lights 1 - 8 will light up to indicate the Trouble:
1
• Light [1] Low Battery: Main panel backup battery charge is low (below 11.5 volts under load).Trouble is restored when the battery
charges over 12.5 volts.
• Light [2] Bell Circuit Trouble: The bell circuit is open (see section 'Terminal Descriptions').
• Light [3] General System Trouble: One or more of the following Troubles has occurred: the PC5204 power supply module has an AUX
failure, PC5204 Output #1 Trouble, Camera Trouble, Home Automation Trouble on the Escort5580(TC), or a printer connected to the
PC5400 printer module has a fault and is off-line. Users can view specific conditions in the event buffer.
• Light [4] General System Tamper: Tamper has been detected in a module.
• Light [5] General System Supervisory: The panel has lost communication with a module connected to the Keybus (See section 2.8
'Confirming Module Supervision'). The event buffer will log the event.
• Light [6] RF Jam: Please refer to the PC5132 Installation Manual for more information.
• Light [7] PC5204 Low Battery: The PC5204 module has a low backup battery.
• Light [8] PC5204 AC Failure: The PC5204 module has lost AC power.
NOTE: If you remove and then restore power to the main panel in order to service any PC5204 module, or any module being pow-
ered by a PC5204, you must also remove and then restore power to the PC5204 and any connected modules. This ensures that any
Troubles present on the module are correctly logged and/or annunciated.
2 AC Failure: AC power is no longer being supplied to the control panel. The Trouble light will flash if an AC Failure is present, if the Trouble Light
Flashes if AC Fails option is programmed (section [016], option [2]). This trouble will not be displayed if the AC Trouble Displayed option is dis-
abled (section [016], option [1]).
3 Telephone Line Monitoring Trouble (TLM): There is a problem with the telephone line. If the system has a LINKS1000, or an alternate commu-
nicator, this trouble can be reported to the central station by programming reporting codes in sections [345] and [346].
4 Failure to Communicate (FTC): The communicator failed to communicate with any of the programmed telephone numbers (see section 5.6
'Communicator Programming').
5 Zone Fault (including Fire Zone): A zone on the system is experiencing trouble, meaning that a zone could not provide an alarm to the panel if
required to do so (e.g., a fire zone is open, or there is a short on a DEOL zone, or a supervisory fault on a wireless zone). When a zone fault occurs,
the keypad(s) on the system will start to beep. Press [5] while in Trouble mode to view the affected zones.
NOTE: A Fire zone trouble will be generated and displayed in the armed state.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, the
Master code or Supervisor codes must be used to
access this feature.
NOTE: If a 24-hr zone is bypassed, ensure that the zone
is restored or disabled before removing the bypass.

[*][2] Trouble Display
The panel constantly monitors itself for several different
trouble conditions. If a trouble condition is present, the
Trouble light will be ON and the keypad will beep twice
every 10 seconds. The trouble beep can be silenced by
pressing any key on any keypad. If Bell Squawk on Trou-
ble is enabled (section [014], option[5]), the bell will
squawk every 10 seconds when a Trouble condition is
present.
NOTE: If there is an AC Trouble, the keypad will not
beep for a General System Trouble.
To view Trouble conditions from an LED or LCD5501Z
keypad:
1. Press [*] [2].
2. The keypad will flash the Trouble light. The zone indica-
tor lights corresponding to the present Trouble condi-
tions will be ON.
When using an LCD keypad, the Trouble conditions will
be listed on the display. Users can scroll through the list of
present Trouble conditions using the arrow (< >) keys.
NOTE: Troubles can be viewed while armed using the
LCD keypad, provided the keypad is version 2.0 or
later. Older keypads will incorrectly display 'Fire Trou-
ble'. If using older LCD keypads, program section [013],
option [3] as OFF to ensure that Troubles are displayed
correctly.
The various Troubles are described below:
