Section 4: Keypad Commands

Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the PC1555 CP-01 security system. The LED keypad uses function
and zone indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid
crystal display and uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.
The PowerSeries User Guide provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing
user functions from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.

4.1 Arming and Disarming

Arming
The system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is on.
If the Ready light is not on, ensure all protected doors and
windows are secure and stop movement in areas covered
by motion detectors.
When the Ready light is on, enter a valid access code. As
each digit is pressed the keypad will beep. If an incorrect
code is entered, the keypad will emit a steady 2-second
beep to indicate that the code was not correct. If the code
is correct but the Ready light was not on, the panel will
beep six times rapidly followed by a long 2-second beep
to indicate the system was not ready.
When the correct code is entered and the system is ready,
the panel beeps six times rapidly, and the Armed light
turns on. The panel begins counting down the Exit Delay.
If the Audible Exit Delay Audible Exit Delay option is enabled, the keypad
Audible Exit Delay Audible Exit Delay
will beep every second until the Exit Delay expires. The
keypad will beep rapidly for the last 10 seconds of Exit
Delay to warn the user the system is about to arm.
Exit the premises through the designated entry/exit door
before the Exit Delay expires.
Users can restart the Exit Delay while it is counting down
by pressing the Away key. The system will not log the
user who re-started the Exit Delay, unless the Quick Arm-
ing Disabled/Function Keys Require Code option is ing Disabled/Function Keys Require Code ing Disabled/Function Keys Require Code ing Disabled/Function Keys Require Code
turned on (Section [015], option [4]).
Other methods of arming are available ( see Section "[*]
[0] Quick Arm" , '[*][9] Arming without Entry Delay', and
section 4.4 'Function Keys') .
NOTE: The PC1555 CP-01 has a built-in feature called Audi-
ble Exit Fault (see Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3
[001]-[002] for more information).
Stay and Away Arming
When a user arms the system, if any zones on the system
have been programmed as Stay/Away, the panel will
immediately turn on the Bypass light. The panel will then
monitor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2. If
no delay type zone is violated by the end of the Exit Delay
(i.e., nobody leaves through the entry/exit door), the
panel will bypass all Stay/Away type zones. The panel is
now Stay armed. The Bypass light will remain on to
inform the home owner that the interior protection is
bypassed. This is a convenience for users that want to
arm the panel while at home. Using this method, users do
not have to bypass the interior zones manually.
Users can add the Stay/Away zones back into the system
at any time by entering [*] [1] ( see section '[*][1] Zone
Bypassing' ), or by using the Away function button.
If a delay zone is violated during the Exit Delay (i.e.,
somebody leaves through the designated entry/exit
door), all all zones will be active after the Exit Delay expires. all all
The panel is now Away armed. The Bypass light on the
keypad will be off.
Other methods of Stay and Away arming are available
( see section 'Function Keys' ) .
Using the Away Button While Stay Armed
If the system is armed in Stay mode and a user wishes to
leave the premises without having to disarm and re-arm
the system, they may press the Away button. The system
will begin counting the standard Exit Delay, allowing the
user to leave without actually disarming. The panel will
log 'Armed in Away Mode' upon completion of the Exit
Delay. This feature is useful for users with Wireless Keys
with Stay/Away buttons, and who wish to have their
panel armed at all times.
Using the Stay Button While Away Armed
Pressing the Stay key while the system is Away armed
will begin the Exit Delay again. The panel will log
'Armed in Stay Mode'. This feature is useful for users
with wireless keys with Stay/Away buttons, and who
wish to have their panel armed at all times.
NOTE:
code, a valid access code must be entered to toggle between
arming modes. The access code used to perform this func-
tion will be logged with 'User Log User XX'. Swinger shut-
down will be reset if the Stay or Away buttons are pressed
while the system is armed.
Disarming
To disarm the panel, enter the premises through the des-
Quick Arm- Quick Arm- Quick Arm-
ignated entry/exit door. The keypad will emit a steady
beep to warn that you must disarm the system. During
the last 10 seconds of entry delay the panel will pulse the
keypad beeper on and off rapidly to warn that the entry
delay is about to expire.
Enter a valid access code at the keypad. If an error is
made, re-enter the code correctly. When a correct code is
entered the keypad will turn off the Armed light and stop
the keypad buzzer.
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed the Mem-
ory light and the zones which caused the alarm will be
flashing. Press the [#] key to return the keypad to the
Ready state.
Event Buffer
The panel will store the last 256 events that have occurred
on the system. Each event will contain the time, date and
the event itself along with the zone number, access code
number or any other information pertaining to the event.
If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown
enabled the event buffer will not store events after the
swinger shutdown level has been reached. This will pre-
vent the panel from overwriting the entire buffer if a
problem exists (see Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS
Sect 3 [377] . The event buffer can be viewed three differ-
ent ways. It can be viewed through an LCD keypad,
printed on-site using the PC5400 printer module, or it can
be uploaded through the DLS software.
Viewing the Event Buffer
The following is the procedure for viewing the event
buffer through the LCD keypad:
• Step 1 - Enter [*] [6] [Master Code]
• Step 2 - Select 'View Event Buffer'
The keypad will display the event number, partition, time
and date of the event in question. Use the [*] key to toggle
