Activate Chime – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the chime feature (see "[*][4]
Door Chime On/Off").
Bypass Enable – This attribute determines whether or not
the zone can be manually bypassed (see "[*][1] Bypass-
ing and Activating Stay/Away Zones").
Force Arm Enable – This attribute determines whether
or not the system can be armed while a zone is violated.
At the end of the exit delay, if this type of zone is violated,
it will be ignored by the panel. Once the zone is secured,
it will be monitored by the system. This zone attribute, for
example, will allow the user to arm the system with the
garage door open. Later, when the door is closed, it will
be armed along with the rest of the system. Do not pro-
gram this attribute for 24-hr zones.
Swinger Shutdown Enable – This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will shut down the communicator
and bell for a zone once its swinger limit has been reached
(see section 5.19 "Swinger Shutdown")
Transmission Delay Enable – This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will delay communicating the
alarm reporting code for the programmed Transmission
Delay Period (see section 5.15 "Transmission Delay").
Wireless Zone – This attribute determines which zones
are to have wireless devices. This allows the panel to
generate a low battery trouble and zone supervisories for
the wireless zones.
NOTE: Any zone with the wireless attribute enabled will not
cause an alarm for a fault condition when armed (or any time
for 24-hr zones).

Assigning Keypad Zones

"Z" keypads have zone inputs to which devices—such as
door contacts—can be connected. (See section 2.11 "Keypad
Zones" for wiring information.)
Once the keypad zones are installed, assign the zone in pro-
gramming section [020] Keypad Zone Assignments.
Enter the 2 digit zone designated for each keypad from 01-08.

Communicator – Dialing
If the Communicator Disable option is selected, the panel
will not attempt to call central station. If communication is
enabled, the panel will attempt to call central station when an
event with a valid reporting code occurs (See section 5.8
"Communicator – Reporting Codes").
The Communicator Call Direction options are used to select
which telephone number the panel will dial when an event
occurs.
DTMF Dialing the panel will dial using DTMF (touch tone). c)
the panel picks up the telephone line again and searces for a
dial tone for 5 seconds
The Delay Between Dialing Attempts timer adds a delay
before the next call is dialed.
Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum num-
ber of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the
central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate
(FTC) trouble condition. The maximum number of dialing
attempts that can be programmed is 15.

D e s c r i p t i o n s :
The 3rd Telephone Number can be used to back up the 1st
in the event of an FTC. (see section 5.7 "Communicator – Tele-
phone Numbers"). If a later communication attempt is suc-
cessful, the FTC reporting code(s) programmed in section
[351] will be transmitted along with the unreported events
from an earlier unsuccessful communication.
When Bell on FTC when Armed is enabled in programming
section [702], option [8], an FTC during the armed period will
sound an Audible Alarm for the length of Bell time-out or until
the system is disarmed. If FTC Trouble Only when Armed is
enabled, only the keypad buzzer will sound trouble beeps
every 10 seconds until a key is pressed.
Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of time
the panel will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver. If
the panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call
a failed attempt, hang up and try again.
NOTE: Contact your local telephone company to confirm which
settings should be used.

The account number is used by the central station to distin-
guish between panels. There are two account numbers pro-
grammable for the PC585.
NOTE: 6-digit account codes apply to the SIA and Pager for-
mats only. All other formats only use the first four digits of the
account code.

5.7
The panel can use three different telephone numbers for com-
municating with the central station. The First Telephone
Number is the primary number, the Second Telephone Num-
ber is the secondary number and the Third Telephone Num-
ber will back up the First telephone number if enabled.
NOTE: The Third Telephone Number will NOT back up the
Second Telephone Number.
NOTE: If you enter a telephone number section (sections [301]
- [303]) at an LED keypad, pressing [#] will delete the pro-
grammed telephone number and change all the digits to [F].
NOTE: To use the Third Telephone Number, you must enable it
in section [380], option [5], and program it in section [303].
Telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits. This allows you to
add special digits if required. To program the telephone number,
enter the numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list
of programmable Hex digits and the functions they perform:
Hex (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone
Hex (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
Hex (F) - marks the end of the telephone number
NOTE:The first digit of all telephone numbers must be the Hex
digit 'D' for dial tone search, or two Hex 'Es' for a 4-second
pause.
