General System Operation Your security system is made up of a DSC Power832 control panel, one or more Power832 keypads and various sensors and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement.
System Information Fill out the following information for future reference and store this manual in a safe place. Access Codes Your Master Code is: _________________________________________ Additional Access Codes: 01 __________________ 09 ____________________ 17 ____________________ 25 ________________ 02 __________________ 10 ____________________ 18 ____________________ 26 ________________ 03 __________________...
Access Codes Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 37 access codes available: 1 master code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 partition master codes. Ask your installer for more information on using the duress and partition master 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.
Arming Using Push to Set or Final Door Set Zones If a Push to Set or Final Door Set Zone is used, an infinite exit delay will be initiated when the system is armed. In order to complete the arming sequence, the push to set or final door set zone must be violated and restored. When arming, once the Exit Delay has expired, the system will allow 5 seconds for detectors to settle before the system is armed.
Quick Exit When the Quick Exit feature is enabled, pressing [ ][0] while the system is armed will provide a two minute window for you to exit the premises. During this time, you may only open and close the designated Entry/Exit door once. Once the door is closed, the panel will end the two minute quick exit delay.
NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's house, and call the local police to investigate. 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.

Zone Bypassing The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made. Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.
Viewing Trouble Conditions The control panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these trouble conditions occur, the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until you press any key on the keypad. NOTE: A TROUBLE condition reduces the security your system is designed to provide. Call your installing company for service.
Setting the System Date and Time To set the system time, enter [ ] [6] followed by the Master Code. Press [1]. The keypad will now accept 10 consecutive digits: • Enter the Time in Hours and Minutes using the 24 Hour format (00:00 to 23:59). •...
Door Chime Feature The door chime feature is used, while the panel is disarmed, to provide a tone from the keypad each time a door or window is opened or closed. The doors and windows which will provide this indication are programmed by your installer.
Fire Alarm Operation Alarm On a fire alarm, the bell or siren will pulse ON and OFF. The transmission of the alarm to the central station is delayed for 30 seconds. If the alarm is not cleared within the 30 second delay, it will then be transmitted to the central station.
Fire Escape Planning There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed. 1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan. 2.
