Access Codes; Arming The System - DSC Power832 PC5015 Instruction Manual

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. The Master Code will be supplied to you by
your installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.
All access codes can be programmed by following the procedure outlined in "Programming Security
Codes" on page 7.
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 for arming. 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 two seconds. If this occurs, press the
[#] key and re-enter your access code. 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, the Ready light will turn OFF and the
system will be armed. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.
