General System Operation - DSC SYSTEM MASTER PC4000 Instruction Manual

MONITORING
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information
over telephone lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm,
immediately call the monitoring station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes
functional.

GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION

Your security system is made up of a PC4000 and one or more LCD-4500 and various
detectors and sensors. The DSC control panel will be mounted out of the way in a
utility room or basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses
and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or
service person to have access to the control panel. The LCD-4500 keypads have an
audible indicator, an alphanumeric LCD, (Liquid Crystal Display), and command entry
keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current
system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in convenient locations inside the
protected premises close to the exit-entry doors.
The security system has several zones or areas of protection and each of these
zones will have one or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors,
glassbreak detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). When a sensor is in alarm,
the zone in alarm will be displayed on the LCD-4500.
TROUBLE AND ARMED LED DISPLAYS
The LCD-4500 has a yellow LED on the right side of the keypad which represents
the trouble status of the panel. There is a red LED just below the yellow one which
represents the armed status of the panel.
SYSTEM MASTER CODES
System Master Codes are used for arming and disarming the control panel, for
viewing the armed/disarmed status of the partitions, for programming additional
security codes and for entering 'user functions'. See [ ][5] User Programming
Commands for programming System Master Codes. In the disarmed state, entering a
Master Code will cause a nine selection menu to be displayed as follows:
[0] Arm Partition
[3] View Partitions
[6] System Reset
[0] Arm Partition will arm the partition the keypad is on. The keypad will display the
message 'Exit delay in progress' and the armed light will come on.
[1] Arm Diff Part. will show a menu of the other partitions and their armed/disarmed
status. R means it is ready to be armed, N means it is not ready to be armed,
and A means the partition is armed. If the partition status is R, then this partition
can be selected to be armed. If a partition is not enabled, it will not be displayed.
