[2] Set Auto-Arm Time
The PC1550 can be programmed to arm at the same time each day.
At the selected Auto-Arm time, the bell will sound one short burst
every 10 seconds for a one minute period if section [32], option [2]
is OFF. The keypad will also sound for one minute. If any key is
pressed during the 1 minute warning period, Auto-Arming will be
aborted. Auto-Arming will be attempted at the same time the next
day. To set the Auto-Arm time, enter [

[6] Door Chime ON/OFF
With this feature enabled, the keypad will beep 5 times when any
zone defined as a delay or instant circuit opens or closes. The Door

[0] Installer's Test ON/OFF
This feature facilitates final testing of the system and when enabled,
the bell/siren will operate for 2 seconds each time a zone is put into
alarm. Each zone should be tripped individually to avoid confusion
about which zone originates the alarm. To exit the Installer's Test
mode, arm then disarm the panel.
NOTE: The communicator will transmit all alarms and restorals.
Disable the communicator if this is not desired (section [12], option 1).

Entering [ ][0] when the system is armed will allow the user to exit
the premises through any delay zone without altering the status of
the system if the Quick-Exit feature is enabled (section [32], option
[4]). For 2 minutes 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.

[ ]+[0]
* * * * *
*
Entering [ ][0] is accepted as a valid arming code if the Quick-Arm
feature is enabled. This command is often used when individuals
need to arm the system but not disarm the system. This could be
used with home visitors in the case of a residential alarm system or
for junior employees and maintenance staff in the case of commercial
*
systems. See [ ][6] User Functions Command section, for enabling
and disabling the Quick-Arm feature.

Keypad Zones

[F] - [A] - [P]
There are three zones which can be activated with single key
entries on the keypad. For the [F], [A] and [P] keys to be functional
for transmission, they must be enabled by the installer in the Alarm
and Restoral Codes section [09].
[F]ire Key Pressing the [F] key and holding it for 1 second will
initiate a local pulsing alarm and, if programmed, will transmit the
alarm to the monitoring station. The keypad will sound a series of
short beeps once the panel has accepted the alarm.
[A]uxiliary Key Pressing the [A] key and holding it for 1 second
will, if programmed, transmit an Auxiliary alarm to the monitoring
station. There is no local alarm and no keypad lights will come ON
when this key function is activated. The keypad will sound a series
of short beeps upon successful completion of the transmission to
the monitoring station.
[P]anic Key Pressing the [P] key and holding it for 1 second will,
if programmed, send a transmission to the monitoring station. The
alarm signal can be programmed to be audible or silent. See
Programming section [12], option [6]. If programmed as audible,
the local bell / siren will sound steadily.
Keypad audible annunciation for the [P] key is programmable,
section [14], option [5], for feedback (3 beeps) or silent (no buzzer
feedback). If programmed for audible, the buzzer will sound once
the key input is accepted.
