INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully before operating your security system. Have your installer instruct you on
system operation, and have your installer inform you of the features that have been enabled on your
system. All users of the system should be instructed in its use. Complete the System Information page
and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Test Your System Regularly
To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, it is important that you test your system
weekly. Refer to the "Testing Your System" section of this manual, and read and follow the instructions
carefully. If your system does not function properly or if you have any questions about testing your system,
call your installing company for service or assistance.
Important Notice
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if
included, a monitoring station, of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally
very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for
prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be
installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should inform you of the level
of protection that has been provided, and instruct you on system operations.
Glossary
Your DSC PC560 Security System has been designed to offer advanced security feature and simple,
straight-forward operation. Described here are some terms that are used throughout this manual to explain
the operation of your system.
Keypad: Your system features one or more PC500RK or SL-40 Keypads. The keypad is used to enter
commands to operate the system, and to view operating information about the system. Information about
the system is displayed on the Zone Lights, labelled 1 through 4. The keypad also features three System
Status lights: "Ready", "Armed" and "System". Commands are entered on the keypad by pressing one key
at a time.
Master Code: The Master Code is a 4-digit code used to arm and disarm the system, to program Access
Codes and to bypass zones. Normally only one person should know the Master Code.
Access Codes: Three Access Codes are available to allow users to arm and disarm the system and to
bypass zones. Each person should keep their 4-digit Access Code secret to ensure system security.
Entry Delay: The Entry Delay is the period of time allowed for someone to enter the premises and disarm the
system.
Exit Delay: The Exit Delay is the period of time allowed for someone to leave the premises after they have
entered an Access Code to arm the system.
Entry-Exit Door or Zone: The Entry-Exit Door or Zone is the door or zone designated by your installer to
be used for entering and leaving the premises when the system is armed.
Zone: A Zone is an area that is protected by a security device. For example, a room protected by a
motion detector may be "Zone 1", while a window protected by a magnetic contact may be "Zone 2". Your
installer will inform you of where zones have been set up on your system.
