Master Code - DSC PC2000 Instruction Manual

MASTER CODE

The master security code is a 4 digit code which is supplied at the time of
installation. The master code is entered from the keypad and is used for arming
and disarming the security system, for programming additional security codes
and for changing other features. All keypad entries are made by pressing only
one key at a time, with exception of "KEYPAD ZONE" activation.
ARMING
Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by
motion detectors. If 'SHUNT' light is on, be sure zones are being intentionally
by-passed before arming the system (see ZONE BY-PASSING). Check to see
that the 'READY' light is on (all zones are closed). The system cannot be
armed unless the 'READY' light is on. Enter a [4 digit security code]. As each
digit is entered the keypad sounder will beep. The 'ARMED' light will come on
and the keypad sounder will beep quickly. If the security code was entered
incorrectly or the 'READY' light was not on, the keypad sounder wilt beep
steadily for 2 seconds. When the correct code is entered and the system is
armed, exit the premise through the designated exit-entry door. At the end of
the allowed exit time all lights on the keypad will go out except the 'ARMED'
light. See the "PROGRAMMING OTHER SYSTEM FEATURES" section for
instructions on how to change the allowed exit time. Also see, QUICK-ARM
and AUTO-ARM.
DISARMING
Enter the premise through the designated exit-entry door. The keypad sounder
will be on. Go to the keypad and enter the [4 digit security code]. If an error is
made in entering the code, press the [#] key and enter the code again. The
'ARMED' light will go out and the keypad sounder will stpp. The correct security
code must be entered before the allowed entry time expires. To change the
entry time see "PROGRAMMING OTHER SYSTEM FEATURES". If an alarm
which caused the alarm will start to flash and stay flashing for 30 seconds.
ZONE BY-PASSING (SHUNTING)
Shunted zones do not cause an alarm. Use zone shunting when access is
needed to part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a
zone may be temporarily shunted until repairs can be made so that the panel
can be armed.
