Zone Bypassing; Alarm Memory Display - DSC PC1500 Instruction Manual

Alarm Memory Display

If the "Memory" light is ON, an alarm has occurred during the last armed period.
The alarm memory will automatically be displayed when the system is disarmed
(See Disarming the System).
Press [ ] then [3] to display the zone which caused the alarm.
Press [#] to return to Ready.
NOTE: The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any
alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.
If An Alarm Sounds
Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a
pulsing mode, follow your Emergency Evacuation Plan immediately. See guide
for family escape planning elsewhere in this manual.
Intrusion Alarm
If an intrusion alarm sounds (continuous Bell/Siren), the alarm may be silenced
by entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local
authorities immediately to avoid and unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the
Alarm Viewing section of this manual. Once the source of the alarm has been
corrected, the panel can be restored to its original armed state.

Zone Bypassing

Use zone bypassing when access is needed to part of the protected area while
the system is armed. Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones that are
temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be bypassed
to allow system arming (partial protection) until repairs can be made. Zones
cannot be bypassed after the system is armed.
To bypass zones:
Enter [ ][1][Zone number(s) to be bypassed]
Enter zone number(s) as single digits (1-6).
As each zone is bypassed, the zone light will come ON. If a zone is bypassed
in error, press that zone number again and the zone light will go OFF indicating
that the zone is not bypassed.
Press [#] to return to Ready.
To recall last group of zones bypassed:
Enter [ ][1][9]
Zone lights for the last group of zones bypassed will come ON to show which
zones are bypassed. If you wish to add or delete a zone from the group, press
[#] to exit then go to zone bypass as described above.
Press [#] to return to Ready.
