Section 4: How To Program; Installer's Programming; Programming Decimal Data; Programming Hex Data - DSC PC585 Installation Manual

The following section of the manual describes the Installer's
Programming function and how to program the various sections.
You must read the following section of the manual
very carefully before you begin programming. We
also recommend filling out the Programming
Worksheets section before you program the panel.

Installer's Programming

Installer's Programming is used to program all communicator
and panel options. The Installer's Code is [0580] by default but
should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to
programming.

From an LED Keypad:
1. Enter [ ] [8] [Installer's Code].
• The Program light (or System light on the PC1555RKZ) will
flash to indicate that you are in programming mode.
• The Armed light will turn ON to indicate that the panel is
waiting for the three-digit programming section number.
2. Enter the three-digit section number corresponding to the
section you wish to program.
• The Armed light will turn OFF.
• The Ready light will turn ON to indicate that the panel is
waiting for the information required to complete programming
the selected section.
3. Enter the information required to complete section
programming (ie: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
If the three-digit section number entered is
invalid, or if the module which pertains to the
section is not present, the keypad will sound a
two second error tone.
From an LCD Keypad:
1. From any keypad, enter [ ] [8] [Installer's Code]. The
Keypad will display 'Enter Section' followed by three dashes.
2. Enter the three-digit number corresponding to the
programming section number you wish to program. The
keypad will now display the information required to complete
programming the selected section.
3. Enter the information required to complete section
programming (ie: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press
the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re-
enter the information correctly.
There must be one digit in each box in the
programming section in order for the change to
be valid.

Programming Decimal Data

A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each
section requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes, telephone numbers).
If a digit is entered for each program box, the panel will
automatically exit from the selected programming section. The
Ready light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.
On the PC1555RKZ and PC5508Z keypads, you can also press
the [#] key to exit a programming section without entering data
for every box. This is handy if you only need to change digits in
the first few programming boxes. All other digits in the
programming section will remain unchanged.
4.3

Programming HEX Data

On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To
program a HEX digit press the [ ] key. The panel will enter HEX
programming and Ready light will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers which should be pressed to enter
the appropriate HEX digit:
1 = A 2 = B
Once the correct HEX digit has been entered, the Ready light
will continue to flash. If another HEX digit is required, press the
corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the
[ ] key again. The Ready light will turn ON and the panel will
return to regular decimal programming.
Example:
To enter 'C1' for a closing by user 1, you would enter:
[ ] [3] [ ], [1]:
• [ ] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
• [3] to enter C
• [ ] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
• [1] to enter digit 1
If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter
will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.
If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero
[0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to
send any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To
transmit a zero [0], it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal 'A'.
Example:
For the three digit account number '403', you would enter:
[4], [ ] [1] [ ] [3], [0]:
• [4] to enter the digit 4
• [ ] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
• [1] to enter A
• [ ] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
• [3] to enter the digit 3
• [0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.
3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6 = F
