KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

Introduction

The PC2550RK remote keypad provides complete information and control of the PC2585 control panel. The panel can
be fully programmed from the keypad. The 8 Zone Lights and the "Fire" light provide alarm and status indication for
the alarm circuits. The 6 function lights guide the user in operating the system. The built-in buzzer lets the user hear
correct key entries and other alert signals. The 12 digit keypad is used for code entry and other programming functions.
All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.
The keypad is normally resting in the arm-disarm mode. In this condition the Zone Lights are indicating the opening
and closing of zones. The Ready LIGHT comes ON when all zones are closed. The system can be directed to perform
other functions such as zone bypassing, displaying trouble conditions, displaying alarm memory and programming
by entering one of the various [ ] commands described below. Pressing the [#] key or not making any key entry for
2 minutes returns the keypad to the arm-disarm mode.

Master Code

A default Master Code "1234" is programmed into the PC2585 at the factory. The Master Code is used for arming and
disarming the control panel, for programming up to fifteen additional Access Codes using the [ ][5] command and
for entering other user functions using the [ ][6] command. The Master Code can be reprogrammed by the user if the
installer programs it that way (Section [23] Zone Light 5). The PC2585 uses EEPROM memory and the codes and other
data are retained even after complete AC and battery failure.

Second Master Code

A second Master Code can be programmed into the PC2585; in the default setting, the Second Master Code is not
programmed. This code can be changed by the installer only. The Second Master Code is useful where there are
multiple panels in a complex, where the code can be used as a "master key". Note that the same Closing and Opening
Codes are transmitted for both the Second Master Code and the regular Master Code.

Installer's Programming Code

A default installer's programming code "2585" is programmed into the PC2585. This code is used with the [ ][8]
command by the installer to gain access to the system in order to enter panel or communicator program information.
The installer's program code may be changed by the installer.

Arming

Check to see if the "Trouble" or "Bypass" light is ON before arming the PC2585. Close all protected doors and
windows and stop movement in areas covered by motion detectors. Check to see that the "Ready" light is ON (all
zones are closed). The system cannot be armed unless the "Ready" light is ON. Enter a [4 Digit Access Code]. As
each digit is entered the keypad buzzer will beep. If the Access Code was entered incorrectly, the sounder will beep
steadily for 2 seconds. If the code was entered correctly but the "Ready" light was not ON, the keypad will beep
quickly followed by a steady tone. When the correct code is entered, the "Armed" light will come ON and the keypad
buzzer will beep quickly. Exit the premises through the designated exit-entry door. At the end of the allowed exit time
all lights on the keypad will go out except the "Armed" light. See Programming Section [19] for instructions on how
to change the exit time. Also see "Quick-Arm" and "At Home Arming".

Disarming

Enter the premises through the designated exit-entry door; the keypad buzzer will be sounding a steady tone. Go
to the keypad and enter the [4 digit Access Code]. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and enter
the code again. The "Armed" light will go out and the keypad sounder will stop. The correct Access Code must be
entered before the allowed entry time expires. To change the entry time, refer to the Programming Guide. If an alarm
occurred while the panel was armed, the "Memory" light and the Zone Light which caused the alarm will start to
FLASH and continue flashing for 2 minutes when the panel is disarmed. Pressing the [#] key returns the panel to the
normal arm-disarm mode.

Auto Bypass/Home Away Arming

If a correct Access Code is entered, and you do not exit the premises, the system will, at the end of the Exit delay time,
arm with interior zones automatically bypassed if those interior zones have been programmed as "Home Away" zones.
The "Bypass" light will come ON immediately following the arming code being entered until a delay zone is tripped
or [ ][1] is entered to reactivate bypassed Home Away zones (see Programming Section [18] Zone Definitions for
programming zones as "Home Away").
This is a convenience feature for the user who wishes to remain at home with the system armed. The user does not
have to manually bypass the Home Away zones. To reactivate the Home Away zones that have been automatically
bypassed, press [ ][1]. The "Bypass" light will go out. This command is a quick method of fully arming the system
before retiring for the night.
