PC1404 Light Trouble AC Failure: There is no audible annunciation on AC power failure unless trouble beeps on AC failure are enabled in Section [018] Option [8]. The system "Trouble" light will come ON but the audible indication will not sound until there is a low battery condition.
• Latching System Tampers • Zone Expander Supervisory Fault. PC1404 only supports one entry of Auto-Arm Time programming, which means the programmed time shall be used for every day auto arm. System Test: The system's Bell Output (2 sec), Keypad Lights and Communicator are tested. This test will also measure the panel's standby battery.
When disarmed, press [ ][8][Installer Code] to enter Installer Programming. Installer Programming allows the installer to program all system functions. Refer to Section 4.1 Installer Programming for details. The PC1404 v1.00 is completely programmable from any sys- tem keypad using this command.

Press [ ][8][Installer’s Code] while the system is dis- armed. See 4.1 Installer Programming for details.
PC1404 If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero [0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to send any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To transmit a zero [0], it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal ‘A’.

PC1404 [08] Standard 24-hr Fire Zone (hardwired) Note: Do not wire Fire zones on keypad zone terminals if the DEOL supervision option is enabled for the panel (Section [013], Option [2]). This zone type requires a SEOL resistor, and it cannot be reconfigured using the NC, EOL or DEOL options in the panel. The alarm state is short, the restored state is 5k6, and an open condition will generate a zone tamper and fire trouble.
Page 43
5.3 Programming Descriptions A bypass of this zone type must be manually removed. With an audible alarm active, using the keyswitch when disarmed is the same as entering an access code at the keypad. Activating this zone type during the first 30 seconds of a delayed fire alarm is the same as entering an access code at the keypad (the 90 second delay will start).

5.3 Programming Descriptions ON: Number of Dialing Attempts is 1 for Residential Dial. If the residential dial format is programmed, the Residential Dial panel will only attempt to call the user's phone once. Regardless of whether the alarm is acknowledged by the end user by pressing a DTMF digit, the panel will not call back unless a new alarm has occurred.
