PC1404

3 Keypad Commands

Use any compatible keypad to enter commands and/or program the PC1404 security system. The LED keypad uses function and zone
indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid crystal display and
uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.
The PC1404 User Manual provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user func-
tions from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.

3.1 Arming and Disarming

For a description of basic arming and disarming, please see the PC1404 User Manual. For other methods of arming, please refer to
[*][0] – Quick Arm and [*][9][User Code] – No-Entry Arming.
The event buffer will log "armed in stay mode," "armed in away mode," or "armed in night mode" whenever the system is armed.
The arming procedure initiated by pressing Away function key on keypad is the same as the arming procedure initiated by entering user
codes. For CP-01 systems, if there is no exit event (delay 1 zone violated and restored) prior to the exit delay expiring, the system will
be armed in Stay mode.
In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their system. If a
non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left open at the end of the exit delay, the entry delay will begin immediately and the
bell or siren will sound a steady alarm for the entry delay period. At the end of the entry delay period, if the system has not been dis-
armed it will go into alarm. This feature can be turned OFF in Section [013], Option [6].
3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming
Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without leaving the premises. All zones programmed as stay/away will be bypassed when
the user stay arms the system, so that the user does not have to bypass interior zones manually. (See "Zone Programming" in PC1404
Programming Descriptions. For these descriptions, see the Technical Library section of http://www.dsc.com.)
When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any zones on the system have been programmed as stay/away zones, the Bypass
light will turn ON. The panel will then monitor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such as designated entry/exit
doors. If a delay zone is not violated by the end of the exit delay, the panel will bypass all stay/away zones. The Bypass light will remain
on to inform the user that the interior zones have been automatically bypassed by the panel. If a delay zone is violated during the exit
delay, the system will arm in Away mode and all stay/away zones will be active after the exit delay expires.
The user can arm the stay/away zones at any time by entering the [*][1] keypad command. (See "[*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/
Away and Night Zones".)
Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the Stay function key for two seconds on the supported keypads, if pro-
grammed by the installer. For more information regarding Stay arming, see [000] in Keypad Function Programming in PC1404 Pro-
gramming Descriptions.

3.3 Automatic Arming

The system can be programmed to arm at the same time each day. Upon entry of this section, enter 4 digits for the 24 Hour Auto-Arm
time. At the selected Auto-Arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for the time programmed in Section [199] to warn that an Auto-
Arm is in progress. The bell can also be programmed to squawk once every 10 seconds during this warning period. When the warning
period is complete, the system will arm with no exit delay and in the Away Mode. Note: For CP-01 systems, the system will arm with
an exit delay. If no Delay 1 zone violation and restore occurs during this exit delay, the system will arm in Away mode. If a Delay 1
zone is left violated when the exit delay ends, an audible exit fault will occur if the feature is enabled. The exit delay restart feature
applies to this entry delay (see Section [18] Option 7.)
Auto-Arming can be cancelled or postponed only by entering a valid access code during the programmed warning period. When the
code has been entered, the warning will be silenced and Auto-Arming will be cancelled or postponed, depending on the programming
of Section [175]. Auto-Arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. Whenever the Auto-Arming process is canceled or post-
poned, the Auto-Arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be transmitted (if programmed).
If arming is inhibited by one of the following, the Auto-Arm Cancellation transmission will be communicated.
- AC / DC Inhibit Arm
- Latching System Tampers
- Zone Expander Supervisory Fault
Note: PC1404 only supports one entry of Auto-Arm Time programming, so the programmed time shall be used for every day.

3.4 Night Arming

Night arming is intended to arm the perimeter and restrict movement to designated areas in the interior (e.g., hallways from bedrooms
to bathrooms).
If night zones are programmed, entering [*][1] while the system is armed in stay mode will activate all interior zones except those pro-
grammed as night zones. The panel can also be armed in Night mode by pressing the Night Arm function key for 2 seconds while the
system is disarmed. The Ready light must be on (disarmed) or the system must be armed in Stay mode to Night arm the system. In
Night mode only night zones (Zone definition 37) are bypassed. When activated, no acknowledgement beeps are sounded, the exit
delay is silent and the panel logs "Armed in Night Mode." If no night zone types are programmed, the system arms in Away mode and
the panel logs "Armed in Away Mode."
3.5 [

] Commands

*
The [*] key commands provide an easy way for the user to access basic system programming – such as programming access codes or
bypassing zones. The user can also use the [*] key commands to check on the system's status, including viewing trouble conditions and
displaying the event buffer on the LCD keypad.
The [*] key commands can be performed from both LCD and LED keypads. The LED keypad uses the zone indicator lights to display
command information. The LCD display provides written information, guiding the user through each command. The commands in this
section are explained as viewed from an LED keypad. When using an LCD keypad, use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through informa-
tion provided. Otherwise, the functions remain the same for both keypad types.
