All smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector installer or
dealer once a year to ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user's responsibility to
test the system weekly (excluding smoke detectors). Ensure you follow all the steps in the

NOTE:
Should the system fail to function properly, call your installation company
for service immediately.
1. Prior to testing, ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on.
2. Press
and close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.
3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the previous section.
4. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk
in motion detector areas).

Quick Exit
Your installer will tell you if the Quick Exit feature has been enabled on your system. The
Quick Exit feature will allow you to exit the premises while the system is armed, without
having to disarm and then re-arm the system.
To use the Quick Exit feature:
1. While the system is armed, press
2. The system will start a two-minute countdown, during which you may leave the pre-
mises through the entry/exit door.
NOTE:
During this time, you may only open and close the entry/exit door once.
Once the door is closed the system will end the two-minute Quick Exit period. If the
door is opened again, or is not closed before the two-minutes are up, or if another
entry/exit door is opened, the entry delay will begin.
Exit Button
If your installer has programmed the Exit function button, press and hold the button for
two seconds to activate the Quick Exit feature.
Disarming
1. If you are outside, enter the premises through a designated entry/exit door. If you are
Your Security
inside, go to step 2.
System
NOTE:
Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm.
The keypad beeps to indicate that you must disarm the system. LCD5500Z keypads dis-
play "Entry Active Enter Your Code". Your system should have a minimum 30 second
entry delay for false alarm reduction purposes. Please consult your installer for the pro-
grammed entry delay time on your system partition.
2. Go to the keypad and enter your [access code]. The correct access code must be entered
before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is not entered during this
time, the system will sound an alarm.
NOTE:
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes
steadily for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light turns OFF and the keypad stops
beeping.
If no alarms occurred while the system was armed and there are no trouble conditions
present, LCD5500Z keypads will display "System Disarmed No Alarm Memory" for a
few seconds, and then "Enter Code to Arm System". If the system is in alarm and is
silenced by entering the access code, the LCD display may prompt "Communications
Cancelled". This will notify the user that the alarm has not been sent to the central
monitoring station.
3. If an alarm occurred while the system was armed:
• PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads will flash the Memory indicator
• LCD5500Z keypads will display "View Memory <> "Zone of Alarm". See "View-
ing Alarms in Memory" on page 13.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were
away, it is possible that an intruder is still on the premises. Go to a nearby safe
location, and call your central station or the local authorities to investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed, so any alarms show-
ing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.
