Viewing Trouble Conditions; Keypad Zones - DSC PC1500 Instruction Manual

Zone Bypassing (Continued)
For security reasons, your installer may prevent the bypass command from
working on certain zones. The "Bypass" light is ON as long as ONE or more
zones are bypassed. Do not unintentionally arm the system with zones bypassed.
Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed
and must be re-applied before the next arming.

Viewing Trouble Conditions

The PC1500/PC1550 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble
conditions. If one of these trouble conditions occur, the keypad will beep twice
every 10 seconds and the keypad "Trouble" indicator will light. Pressing any key
on the keypad will silence the sounder but the "Trouble" light will remain ON until
the trouble condition is cleared. If you cannot determine the cause of the trouble
condition, contact your installer for assistance.
To view type of trouble:

Keypad Zones

There are three keys on the keypad labelled [F] Fire, [A] Auxiliary and [P] Panic.
These keys are only functional if they have been programmed by your installer.
The installer should indicate which of these keys are functional by placing a
coloured label next to the key symbol on the keypad door label.
[F] Fire
Holding this key down for two seconds will sound a Fire Alarm. The alarm will
sound pulsing. The keypad will sound three beeps once the panel has accepted
the alarm. An auxiliary warning device is also activated if your installer has
connected it to your system. To silence the alarm, enter a valid access code.
[A] Auxiliary
Holding this key down for two seconds activates this function if your installer has
programmed it. There is no audible alarm and no lights on the keypad will come
on. When the panel has accepted the alarm, the keypad will sound a series of
beeps. An auxiliary warning device is activated ONLY IF connected to your
system by your installer.
