Section 4: Keypad Commands

Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the Power864 security system. The LED (PC55XX) and LCD5501Z keypads
use function and zone indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD5500Z keypad provides a written description on
the display and uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.
The Power864 User's Guide provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user func-
tions from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.

4.1 Access Codes

All access codes can arm and disarm any partition they are
enabled for, and can activate the PGM outputs using the [*][7]
commands (see section [*] [7] Command Output Functions on
page 16).
For instructions on programming access codes, see the
Power864 User's Guide ("Programming Access Codes").
The available access codes are as follows:
General Access Codes - Access Codes [01] to [32]
Each access code can be used to arm and disarm the assigned
partitions. Additional access code attributes are also programma-
ble to determine what abilities the code will have.
You can program partition assignments and access code
attributes by following the instructions in this section.
Duress Codes - Access Codes [33] and [34]
When a Duress Code is used to perform any function the panel
will send a Duress Reporting Code to the central station (See
Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004]) (See
Section 5.6 Communicator Programming PWS Sect 6)).
Supervisor Codes - Access Codes [41] and [42]
Supervisor Codes can program additional access codes. By
default, Supervisor codes have the same partition and attribute
programming as the Master code. You can change the partition
and attribute programming for these codes by following the
instructions in this section.
System Master Code - Access Code [40]
By default the System Master Code is enabled to operate on all
partitions, and can perform any keypad function. This code can
be used to program all access codes, including the Supervisor
Codes and Duress Codes.
If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled the System
Master Code can only be changed using Installer Programming.
Maintenance Code
The maintenance code can only be used to arm and disarm the
system. It cannot be used to bypass zones, to access the
Escort5580, or to cancel or postpone automatic arming. The
code can only be programmed in Installer's Programming.
Programming Partition Assignments and Access Code
Attributes
You can enable or disable each access code to work on each par-
tition. Additional access code attributes are also programmable.
Attributes determine what abilities the code will have.
By default, each code has the attributes of the code used to pro-
gram it. For example, if you use the Master code to program
other access codes, the new codes will have the same attributes
as the Master code. You can change the partition and attribute
programming by following the instructions described below.
12
You cannot change Master code partition or attribute program-
ming. The Master code has all partitions and all attributes turned
on, except for the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming attribute.
To program which partition(s) each code will work on:
1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][8] to enter partition programming.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit.
3. Enter the partition number (1-8) to toggle it on or off.
NOTE: Partition programming is NOT supported at the following
keypads: PC5508(Z), PC5516(Z), PC5532(Z) versions v2.00 and
lower; LCD5500(Z) version 2.x and lower; LCD5501Z version 1.x
and lower.
To program each attribute:
1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][9] to enter the attribute program-
ming mode.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit.
3. Enter the attribute number to toggle it on or off.
The programmable attributes are as follows:
• Attributes 1-2: For future use
• Attribute 3: Zone Bypass enabled
This attribute allows the user to bypass zones.
• Attribute 4: Escort5580 Remote Access
This attribute allows the user to access the security system via
the Escort, if installed.
• Attribute 5: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone Number
1. For use with the Escort5580 and the PC5108L/DLM-4L (see
the PC5108L Installation Manual for details).
• Attribute 6: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone Number
2. For use with the Escort5580 and the PC5108L/DLM-4L (see
the PC5108L Installation Manual for details).
• Attribute 7: Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming. When this
attribute is turned on, the bell will squawk when the access
code is entered to arm or disarm the system. For example,
you can use the arm/disarm bell squawk attribute to have
wireless key access codes squawk the bell, while other codes
are silent. To do this, enable attribute [7] on all access codes
associated with wireless keys.
NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming option
(section [014], option [1]), the bell will sound arm/disarm bell
squawks for all access codes, regardless of the programming for
attribute [7] (See Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-
[004]((See Section 5.4 Advanced Programming Sect 4 [181]-[199])).
Installer's Programming - Codes and Options
There are three codes which can be programmed by the installer
in Installer's Programming: the Master code, the Installer's
code, and a Maintenance code. All other access codes can be
programmed through the [*][5] command, as described previ-
ously in this section.
The master code can also be programmed by the user as access
code (40). However, if the Master Code Not Changeable
