DSC PC 1500 Instruction Manual

Master Code

The 4 digit Master Code is used to arm and disarm the security system, to
program additional security codes and to change other system features.
The Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad
entries are made by pressing one key at a time. (See Additional Codes
section)

Arming the System

Check the following items before arming the system:
Bypass Light
If the "Bypass" light is ON, insure that zones are intentionally bypassed
before arming the system (See Zone Bypassing section).
Trouble Light
If the " Trouble" light is ON, check to see what the trouble condition is and
call for service. (See Viewing Trouble Conditions section).
Ready Light
If the "Ready" light is NOT ON, 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.
NOTE: The system may be armed with a zone bypassed or a trouble
present but your security protection will be reduced.
To Arm
Enter your 4 digit access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad
sounder will beep. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad
sounder will beep quickly and the "Armed" light will come ON.
If the access code was entered incorrectly or the "Ready" light comes ON,
the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for 2 seconds. If this occurs, press
the [#] key and re-enter your access code.
When the correct access code is entered and the "Armed" light comes ON,
exit the premises through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit-
Entry door.
At the end of the exit delay period, all lights, except the "Armed" light, will
go out and the system will be armed. The exit time delay can be changed
by your installer.
Auto-Bypass Option - Home-Away Arming
This feature, if selected by your installer, will allow you to arm your system
with any valid user code and the system will automatically bypass the
interior zones. The "Bypass" light will come on. If you exit within the allowed
exit time, the system will automatically activate the interior zones and the
"Bypass" light will go out. This feature is designed to save the customer
from having to manually bypass interior zones each time they wish to arm
the system and remain at home.
In residential applications where the system has been armed and the
interior zones are automatically bypassed, the interior zones can be
reactivated from a keypad that is outside the interior zone's protection area.
To reactivate the interior zones, press [
