Disarming The System; Zone Bypassing; Viewing Trouble Conditions - DSC Power632 Instruction Manual

Disarming the System

Disarming from an LED or Fixed Message LCD5501Z keypad:
Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. Entering by any other door will sound an
immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the
system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If you made an error
entering your code, re-enter the code correctly. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed
light will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.
The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access
code is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. Your installer can change the entry
time delay.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the Memory light and the zone light corresponding
to the zone that caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. After the 30-second period, the Memory
light and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Ready state. Pressing the [#] key
during the 30 second period will cancel the alarm memory display. To view other alarms, press [ ][3].
If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON (See "Viewing
Trouble Conditions" on page 11 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles will
not display while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.
Disarming from an LCD Keypad:
Upon entering through a designated Exit/Entry door, the keypad will beep and the entry delay will
commence, reminding you to disarm the system. The keypad will display the following message...
Enter your access code. If an error is made in entering the code, re-enter the
Entry Active
code correctly. When a valid access code is entered, the keypad will stop

Upon disarming and if a trouble is present, this message will be displayed. Use the
Enter Code to
Arm System <> arrow (< >) keys to view which troubles are affecting the system (see "Viewing
Trouble Conditions" on page 11).
NOTE: If you return and find that 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 house, and call the local police to
investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed. Any alarms showing are alarms that
occurred only during the last armed period.

Zone Bypassing

The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the
system is armed. Zones that are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be
bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made.
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.
Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied
before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from
bypassing certain zones.
Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a zone due to damaged
wiring or contacts, please call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be
resolved and your system returned to proper working order.
Make sure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system.
To bypass zones from an LED or Fixed Message LCD5501Z keypad:
Start with the system in the Ready state. Enter [ ][1][Zone(s) to be bypassed].
Enter the zone(s) as a 2-digit number from 01 to 32. As each zone is bypassed, the corresponding zone
light will turn ON. If a zone is bypassed by mistake, enter that zone number again; the zone light will turn
OFF, indicating that the zone is not bypassed. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
To bypass zones from an LCD keypad:
To bypass a zone, the system must be in the Ready state. The display will read...
Press the [ ] key to enter the function menu. The display will read...
Enter Code to

Press the [ ] key to enter the zone bypassing mode. The display will read...
Press (*) for <>
Zone Bypass
Use the arrow (< >) keys to find the zone to be bypassed and press the [ ] key to
Zone Search <>
select it. The display will read...
"Zone Name"
"B" will appear on the display to show that the zone is bypassed. To unbypass a
Zone Search <>
"Zone Name" B zone, enter the zone number; the "B" will disappear from the display to show that the
zone is no longer bypassed.
This display will be shown if a zone was open when you entered the bypassing
Zone Search <>
"Zone Name" O command. The open zone will be represented by "O". If you bypass the open zone, a
"B" will replace the "O".
To exit the bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press the [#] key.

Viewing Trouble Conditions

The control panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these trouble
conditions occur, the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until you press any key on the keypad.
NOTE: A TROUBLE condition reduces the security your system is designed to provide. Call your
installing company for service.
