Zone Bypassing; Trouble Display - DSC MAXSYS PC4020CF System Manual

Zone Bypassing

[ ]+[1]
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If a zone is
bypassed the panel may be armed even if the zone is
open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to part
of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts
on a zone may be temporarily bypassed until repairs can
be made so that the panel can be armed.
To bypass zones, enter [ ] [1]. An access code may be
required if the installer has enabled that option. A menu
will appear.
[0] Bypass Open Zones allows the user to bypass only
the open zones that are on that partition. Use the [<][>]
keys to scroll through the open zones. Next to the zone
label will the a [!] this character is used to indicate that
the zone is open. To select the open zone to be bypassed
press the [*] key. A [*] will appear next to the zone label to
indicate that the zone has been bypassed.
[1] Bypass Zones takes you immediately to bypassing
zones. Use the [<] [>] to select the zones to be bypassed
and press the [ ] key to select the zone. A " " will
appear beside the zone label to indicate the zone will be
bypassed when the partition is armed.
A zone search routine allows the user to find the desired
zone to bypass by entering in the first letter of the zone to
search for, and pressing one of the [<][>] keys. The [<]
key will search for the first zone on the partition that
begins with the letter selected. The [>] key will search for
the next zone on the partition that begins with the letter
selected.
The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among
the 1 to 9 number keys on the keypad.

For example, to search for the first zone that begins with
the letter "R", press the [6] key three times until the letter
"R" is displayed on the keypad between the "< >". Press
the [>] key, the first zone that begins with the letter "R" will
then be displayed.
[2] Clear Bypasses removes all bypasses from all the
zones in your partition and then takes you to bypassing
zones. None of the zones will have a " " beside them.
[3] Recall Bypasses will bypass all the same zones that
were selected the last time zones were bypassed. This is
for users that are always bypassing the same zones.
[4] Previous Menu takes you back to the "Enter Code to
Arm System".
When the PC4020 is programmed, the ability to bypass
certain zones may be eliminated. In this case, the " "
indicator for those zones will not come on in response to
the bypass command. Zone bypasses are automatically
cancelled when the panel is disarmed.
The installer can choose by partition if a code must be
entered with [ ]+[1] to bypass zones. Only the zones
assigned to the same partition of the system as the
keypad can be bypassed. Only certain types of access
codes can be used to bypass (See [ ][5]).
Note: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.

Trouble Display

[ ]+[2]
The PC4020 continuously monitors a number of possible
trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the
keypad "TROUBLE" indicator will light 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 indicator light will remain ON until the
trouble is cleared. Trouble conditions can also be
transmitted to the monitoring station. Press the [ ] then
[2] keys to display the types of trouble conditions.

Once the message has cleared, press [ ][2] to view the

Press [#] to return to "READY".
Battery Trouble - A battery trouble will be displayed and
can be reported if the battery is 11.3 volts or less,
disconnected or the battery fuse fails. Battery voltage is
checked once every 4 minutes, so the battery trouble may
not restore instantly when the battery is restored. Initiating
a bell/comm test will check the battery voltage. When DC
Inhibit Arm is enabled the panel will check the condition of
the batteries on the system (main panel and PC4204)
