Master Code - DSC PC1500 Instruction Manual

Master Code

The 4 digit Master Code is used to arm and disarm the security system, to
program additional security codes and to change other system features. The
Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad entries are
made by pressing one key at a time. (See Additional Codes section)
Arming the System
Check the following items before arming the system:
Bypass light
If the "Bypass" light is ON, insure that zones are intentionally bypassed before
arming the system (See zone bypassing section).
Trouble light
If the "Trouble" light is ON, check to see what the trouble condition is and call
for service. (See Viewing Trouble Conditions section).
Ready light
If the "Ready" light is NOT ON, check to see that all doors and windows are
closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The
system cannot be armed unless the "Ready" light is ON indicating that all zones
are closed.
NOTE: The system may be armed with a zone bypassed or a trouble present
but your security protection will be reduced.
To Arm
Enter your 4 digit access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder
will beep. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder will beep
quickly and the "Armed" light will come ON.
If the access code was entered incorrectly or the "Ready" light comes ON, the
keypad buzzer will sound steadily for 2 seconds. If this occurs, press the [#] key
and re-enter your access code.
When the correct access code is entered and the "Armed" light comes ON, exit
the premises through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit-Entry door.
At the end of the exit delay period, all lights, except the "Armed" light, will go out
and the system will be armed. The exit time delay can be changed by your installer.
Auto-Bypass Option - Home-Away Arming
This feature, if selected by your installer, will allow you to arm your system with any
valid user code and the system will automatically bypass the interior zones. The
"Bypass" light will come on. If you exit within the allowed exit time, the system will
automatically activate the interior zones and the "Bypass" light will go out. This
feature is designed to save the customer from having to manually bypass interior
zones each time they wish to arm the system and remain at home.
In residential applications where the system has been armed and the interior
zones are automatically bypassed, the interior zones can be reactivated from
a keypad that is outside the interior zone's protection area. To reactivate the
interior zones, press [ ] then [1] and the "Bypass" light will go out.
