Installer's Test

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[0]
This feature is designed to assist the installer in testing the
system. In this mode, the bell or siren will operate for 2
seconds each time a device is tripped and the first level of
memory will be affected. The feature is automatically
disabled when the panel is armed and disarmed. Each time
a zone is tripped or restored in this mode, a signal, if
programmed, will be transmitted to the monitoring station. If
this is not desired, it is possible to disable the communicator
during the test (see section [15] "1st System Option Code").
Notes: Do not use the PC16OUT module during the
installer's test.
Do not use the installer's test when the panel is
partially armed.

Setting the Clock

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[1]
Setting the "System 24 Hour Clock" (item [1]) tells the
system the correct time of day. If the system is without
battery and AC power it cannot continue to keep time.
Therefore when the panel is first powered up or when it has
been without AC power long enough to completely
discharge the stand-by battery, the "System 24 Hour Clock"
must be reset. If the time needs to be reset a "Trouble #8"
will be indicated on the keypad (see [ ][2] "System Trouble
Command").

Auto-arm Time of Day

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[2]
The PC2550 can be programmed to arm at the same time
each day. Programming item [2] sets this time and the
feature must be enabled as shown in item [5] (see "Auto-
arm Enable" on this page).
At the selected auto-arm time the keypad beeper begins to
sound and the Bell/Siren will pulse once every 10 seconds to
alert anyone on the premises that the system is about to
arm. The Bell/Siren pulse can be silenced in section [17] by
turning light 1 on.
The keypad beeper will sound for one minute before auto-
arming unless one of the following two methods is used to
abort the auto-arm.
• Auto-arm cancel: Any key can be pressed to cancel the
auto-arm sequence and silence the keypad during the
one minute pre-alert (this is the default condition).
• Auto-arm cancel with code: If section [17] light 4 is on,
then a valid 4 digit access code is required to cancel the
auto-arm sequence.
The auto-arm will be attempted at the same time the
following day. Any time an auto-arm is cancelled using one
of the above methods, the reporting code programmed in
section [08] will be transmitted to the central station.
When the panel does arm by auto-arming, any open zones
will be "Force-armed". If light 5 in section [18] is on, the
panel will send a partial closing code to let the central
station know zones were bypassed. If section [16] light 1 is
on, the zones that were force-armed will be identified by
transmitting their alarm code along with the partial closing
code.

Quick Arm

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[4]
The "Quick Arm" feature is enabled by pressing the [4] key
while in the "User Functions Command" section. When
enabled (enabled 3 beeps....disabled one long beep) the
panel can be armed by entering [ ][0]. The closing code
transmitted for "Quick Arm" is the same as the code which
is programmed for the Master Code.

Auto-arm Enable

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[5]
Entering [ ] [6] [Master Code] [5] will enable/disable the
Auto-arming feature. When the feature is being Enabled, the
keypad buzzer will sound 3 beeps and when being Disabled
the buzzer will sound one long beep.

Door Chime

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[6]
The "Door Chime" feature is enabled by pressing the [6] key
while in the "User's Functions Command" section. When
enabled the keypad buzzer will beep quickly 5 times each
time any zone defined as a delay or instant circuit opens or
closes. The "Door Chime" feature does not operate on other
zone definitions. Zone bypass may be used to eliminate
"beeping" on doors where it is not wanted. This feature
operates only while the panel is disarmed.

System Test

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[8]
The system test feature sounds the bell or siren, lights the
keypad indicators and beeps the keypad buzzer for 2
seconds. If a code is programmed in section [50] it will be
transmitted at the same time.

User Callup

[ ]+[6]+[MASTER CODE]+[9]
This function is enabled in section [47]. When activated,
the panel will call the downloading computer. The
downloading computer must be waiting for the panel to
call before downloading can be performed.
