Bypass Zones: [ ]+[1; Display Trouble Conditions: [ ]+[2 - DSC PC2585 Installation Manual

Bypass Zones: [ ]+[1]

A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm; note that Tamper Alarms cannot be bypassed. If a zone is bypassed, the
system may be armed ("Ready" light will be ON) even if the zone is open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed
to part of the protected area.
To bypass zones, enter [ ][1] and the zone number(s) to be bypassed. Press [#] to return to "Ready" (arm-disarm
mode). When bypassing zones, one digit must be entered for each zone number(s) to be bypassed (for example,
[ ][1][1 to 8]). To remove all bypasses, enter [ ][1][0][#]. The Zone Lights which are ON while the "Bypass" light
is flashing indicate the bypassed zones. Remember that if no keypad entry is made for more than 2 minutes the
keypad will return to the arm-disarm mode. Then, in order to bypass a zone the complete command must be re-
entered. Once the bypass command is entered, pressing [9] recalls the last zone or group of zones which was
bypassed. If the same group of zones is bypassed each time, this bypass recall feature can be used instead of
having to bypass zones individually.
When the PC2585 is programmed, the ability to bypass certain zones may be eliminated. In this case, the Zone Lights
for those zones will not come ON in response to the bypass command. Refer to Programming Section [36] for
instructions on programming the Bypass Mask. If the "Bypass" light is ON before arming the system, the [ ][1]
command should be used to see which zones are bypassed so that zones are not unintentionally bypassed. Zone
bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel is disarmed.
If Zone Light 4 in Section [23] is ON then a code must be entered with [ ][1] to bypass zones. Only the zones assigned
to the same side of the system as the Access Code can be bypassed. The ability to bypass using certain Access Codes
can be eliminated. See the "Access Bypass Mask" instructions in Programming Sections [37] and [38].
NOTE: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.

Display Trouble Conditions: [ ]+[2]

The PC2585 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the
"Trouble" light will come ON and the audible indication will sound (two short beeps every 10 seconds). When the
[#] key is pressed the audible indication will stop but the "Trouble" light will remain ON until the trouble is cleared.
Trouble conditions can also be transmitted to the monitoring station (see Programming Sections [16] and [17] for
alarm and restoral trouble codes). Press the [ ] then [2] keys to display the type of trouble. The Zone Lights indicate
the type of trouble condition:
1 Low standby battery
2 AC power failure
3 Keypad Tamper trouble
4 Telephone line trouble
5 Unsuccessful communication attempt with monitoring station
6 Bell circuit failure
7 Smoke detector zone trouble
8 Loss of time on internal clock
Press [#] to return to "Ready".
1 Low Battery: A battery trouble will be displayed and can be reported if the battery is weak, disconnected or the
battery fuse is blown. The low battery trouble display is latching and can only be cleared by correcting the low
battery condition and then entering an Access Code.
AC Power Failure: There is no audible annunciation on AC power failure. The system "Trouble" light will come ON
2
but the audible indication will not sound until there is a low battery condition. An AC Failure Transmission Delay
can be programmed for 1 to 255 minutes. See "Programming Guide" Section [19].
3 Keypad Tamper Trouble: The Keypad Tamper function is enabled in Section [26] with Zone Light 4. If the LED625T
or LCD600T keypads are removed from their wall mounts, a keypad tamper will be annunciated and displayed on
the keypad, and the LCD600T will display the message "Service Required Call Installer". If programmed in Section
[16], a Keypad Tamper Reporting Code will be transmitted. When a keypad tamper trouble is initiated, the system
may be disarmed but not armed. The "Ready" light will remain OFF until all keypads are returned to their mounting
plates and the [Q][8][Installer's Code][#] command is entered to reset the system. Keypad Tampers will be
indicated with Zone Light 3, but Keypad Tampers will not be stored in the Trouble Memory. NOTE:
keypad sounder will not sound for Keypad Tampers.
4 Telephone Line Trouble: A telephone line trouble is generated when the line voltage drops below 3 volts for more
than 30 seconds. It generates a keypad trouble when the system is disarmed and rings a local alarm when the panel
is armed. See Section [21] for options.
