DSC PC2525 Instruction Manual page 6

To Bypass Zones:
Enter [ ][1]; the "Bypass" light will FLASH.
Enter the number of the zone to be bypassed; the corresponding Zone Light will come ON to indicate that
the zone is bypassed. To remove a bypass, enter the zone number to shut its Zone Light OFF. When all
desired zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key to return to "Ready". Notice that the "Bypass" light will be
ON while the system is disarmed to indicate that zones have been bypassed.
When you arm your system, the zones you have indicated will now be bypassed. Before arming the
system with bypassed zones, it is always a good idea to enter the [ ][1][Access Code] command to
review the list of bypassed zones before entering an Access Code to arm the system. After ensuring that
the desired zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key, and then enter an Access Code to arm the system.
When the system is disarmed, the zone bypasses will be cleared and the zone will again be active.
To Recall Bypassed Zones:
Enter [ ][1][9]; the "Bypass" light will FLASH and Zone Lights will come ON to indicate which zones were last
bypassed. This feature is useful if you bypass the same set of zones regularly; by recalling the set of bypassed
zones, you won't have to enter the zone numbers for each zone each time you wish to bypass the same set.
Access Code Required for Bypass:
Your security system may be programmed to require an Access Code to be entered to bypass zones. Your
installer will inform you if this option has been enabled on your system.
If an Access Code is required for bypassing, enter [ ][1][Access Code], and follow the bypassing
instructions described above.
Keypad Alarms
Three types of alarms may be activated by pressing and holding a single key on the keypad. Your
installer will inform you of how the [F], [A] and [P] Keys will operate on your system.
[F]ire Press and hold the [F] Key for 2 seconds to sound a Fire alarm; the siren will sound with a pulsed
tone. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has accepted the alarm.
If enabled by your installer, a transmission will be sent to your monitoring station.
[A]uxiliary Press and hold the [A] Key for 2 seconds to generate an Auxiliary alarm. The siren will not sound
when this function is activated. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system
has accepted the alarm. If enabled by your installer, a transmission will be sent to your
monitoring station.
[P]anic Press and hold the [P] Key for 2 seconds to generate a Panic alarm. The alarm may be
programmed as either silent or audible; your installer will inform you of how this alarm will
operate. If your installer has programmed this alarm to be audible, the keypad will sound a
series of short beeps once the system has accepted the alarm, and the siren will sound a steady
tone. If enabled by your installer, a transmission will be sent to your monitoring station.
Utility Output Command
A special keypad command may be used to operate various devices connected to your security system. To
operate the Utility Output, enter [ ][7] on the keypad. An Access Code may also need to be entered to use
this command; your Installer will inform you if an Access Code is required to activate the Utility Output.
When the command is entered, the keypad will sound a single tone for 5 seconds, and the Utility Output
will be activated for 5 seconds.
This command may be used to operate devices such as special lighting or door strikes. This feature
may also be used to reset smoke detectors that are connected to your system. Refer to the "Fire Zone
Operation" section of this manual for information.
Your installer will inform you of how the Utility Output function is set up for your system.
