Alarm Memory Display; Zone Bypassing - DSC PC2550 Instruction Manual

DISARMING
Enter the premises only through the door indicated by your installer as the
entry/exit door. The keypad sounder will be ON. Go to the keypad and enter the
[4 digit access code]. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key
and enter the code again. The "Armed" light will go out and the keypad sounder
will stop. A correct access code must be entered before the allowed entry time
expires. The entry delay time may be changed by the installer.
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, the "Memory" light and the light
for the zone which caused the alarm will start to flash and will continue flashing for
2 minutes. At the end of 2 minutes, the keypad lights will stop flashing and the
keypad will return to the normal Ready condition.
If you return home and find an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is
possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's and if
your system is monitored, call the monitoring station. They will advise what action
has been taken as a result of the alarm and whether the premises are safe to
enter. If your system is not monitored, call the local police to investigate.

ALARM MEMORY DISPLAY

If the "Memory" light is on, an alarm has occurred since the last time the panel
was armed. The alarm memory will automatically be displayed when the system
is disarmed (see Disarming).
∗
Press the [ ] then [3] keys to display which zone caused the alarm.
The alarm memory will be cleared when the panel is re-armed.
Press the [#] key to return to Ready.

ZONE BYPASSING

Bypassed zones do not cause an alarm. 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][Access Code] and the zone numbers to be
bypassed. i.e. [1] for zone 1, [8] for zone 8. If the [0] key is pressed instead of
a zone number, all zone bypasses will be removed. If the [9] key is pressed,
the last group of zones which was bypassed will be recalled. Press [#] to return
to Ready.
For security reasons, your installer may prevent the bypass command from
operating on certain zones.
The "Bypass" light is ON as long as at least ONE zone is bypassed. Do not
unintentionally bypass zones when arming. Zone bypasses are automatically
cancelled each time the panel is disarmed and must be re-applied before the
next arming.
