Disarming

Enter the premises through the designated entry-exit door. The keypad sounder will be on as a reminder to
disarm the system. Go to the keypad and enter a valid Access Code. If an error is made entering the code,
press the [#] key and enter the code again. The "Armed" light will go out and the sounder will stop. The correct
Access Code must be entered before the entry time expires or the panel will go into alarm.
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, upon disarming the "Memory" light and the Zone Light(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the alarm will flash for 2 minutes. Pressing the [#] key will stop the flashing, turn the Zone
Light(s) OFF, and return the panel to the ready mode. The "Memory" light will stay on steady to indicate that an
alarm did occur during the last armed period. To view the zone(s) that caused the alarm, see Alarm Memory

Entering [ ][0] when the system is armed will allow the user to exit the premises through any delay zone without
altering the status of the system if the Quick-exit feature is enabled. The Quick-exit feature is enabled in
Programming Section [08] First System Option Code. For 2 minutes after [
one and only one delay zone may be tripped. Any additional activity on any other active zone will cause that zone

]+[0] when Disarmed

∗
Entering [ ][0] is accepted as a valid arming code if the Quick-Arm feature is enabled. This command is often
used when individuals are required to arm the system but not disarm the system. This could be used with home
visitors in the case of a residential alarm system or for junior employees and maintenance staff in the case of
commercial systems. Refer to [
feature.

Zone Bypassing

∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗
[ ]+[1]
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to part of a protected
area or if damage to contacts or wiring cannot be repaired immediately. The panel can be armed with one or
more zones bypassed even if the zone(s) are open. The "Ready" light will be ON and the "Bypass" light will be
ON if a zone is bypassed. A fire zone cannot be bypassed.

ensure that any zone displayed as being bypassed is intentionally bypassed.
Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel is disarmed.
To Bypass Zones:
∗
Enter [ ][1]; the "Bypass" light will start flashing.
Enter the [number of the zone to be bypassed]; the Zone Light will come ON to indicate that the zone is
bypassed. To remove a bypass, enter the zone number and the Zone Light will go OFF. To remove all
bypasses, press the [0] key. Continue entering the zone numbers for the zones you want bypassed. Press [#]
to return to Ready.
To Recall Bypassed Zones:
∗
Enter [ ][1][9]. This command will recall the last zone or group of zones that were bypassed. If the same
group of zones are bypassed regularly, the bypass recall feature can be used instead of bypassing the zones
individually.
Bypass Disable:
The PC2525 can be programmed by the installer to prevent certain zones from being bypassed by the user.
Lights for these zones will not come ON in response to the bypass command. Refer to the Zone Bypass Mask
instructions in Programming Section [12].
Also, Access Codes may be programmed so that they will be unable to bypass zones. Refer to the Programming
Section [13], Bypass Mask for Access Codes 1-8.
Access Code Required for Bypass:
The PC2525 can be programmed to require an Access Code to be entered before zones are bypassed. To
enable this option, enter Section [9] and turn Zone Light 3 ON. A user must now enter [
order to bypass zones.
