Access Codes; Arming The System - DSC Power608 Instruction Manual

Access Codes

Access Codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 33 access codes available: one
Master Code and 32 access codes.
Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system
features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. Your installer will supply the Master Code to
you. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.
You will be able to program all access codes by following the procedure outlined in "Programming
Security Codes" on page 6.
NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer has
programmed your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.

Arming the System

Arming from an LED Keypad:
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready to be armed. If the Ready light is OFF, 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 and the
system is in the Ready state.
Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code
was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for one second. If this occurs, re-enter
your access code correctly. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder will beep
quickly and the Armed light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by your
installer as the Exit/Entry door.
The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises
without causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, all keypad lights, except the Armed light,
will turn OFF and the system will be armed. Your installer can change the exit delay time.
Arming from an LCD Keypad:
One of the following messages may appear when you attempt to arm your system:
One or more zones are not secured. To secure the system, close all doors and
