5827BD IS IN CONSOLE PROGRAMMING MODE 

 

With 4111CM and VISTA 20 systems, status monitoring is restricted to Partition 1; however, each partition can be  
controlled by 5827BDs programmed to the partition’s House ID. 

Upon the depression of the [ON/STAT] key or following an ARM or DISARM sequence. 

May be toggled off/on (any number of times) by means of the [ON/STAT] key.  Upon toggling “off,” the armed status 

 

(2 or 3 beeps) is reannunciated.  See Alarm Memory on next page. 

No yellow light blinking may indicate a low battery (also displayed on wired consoles as “00”). 

 

Routine Operation 

The routine operation of the 5827BD (Arm, Disarm, Chime) is 
similar to the operation of other consoles used with the system 
(as described in the system’s User’s Manual). 

Press the [ON/STAT] key before performing the desired 
operation. 
Note:  

The following considerations are necessitated by the 

fact that there is no zone display on the 5827BD: 
 

a.  If the system is “not ready to arm” (green LED blinking), 

a conventional console’s display can determine which 
zone is “not ready.” 

 

b.  Bypassing protection zones should only be performed at 

a conventional console so that it can be determined 
which zones are to be bypassed. 

 

c.  Alarm memory history, if present (see Alarm Memory  on 

next page), should be cleared only at a conventional 
console so that the zone(s) displayed there that were in 
alarm condition can first be determined. 

 

Quick Key Operation 

If programmed for Quick Key operation, the 5827BD permits 
the use of the [#] key (instead of the usual 4-digit security 
code) for all functions, or for all functions except disarm, as 
selected earlier. 

First press the [ON/STAT] key. 

Next press the [#] key and the desired function key as follows: 

Quick Key Arm: 

This is similar to the QUICK ARM function via conventional 
consoles, but once programmed here, it is always functional, 
whether the system is programmed for QUICK ARM or not. 
To Arm AWAY, enter: 

[#] + [AWAY] 

To Arm STAY, enter: 

[#] + [STAY] 

To Arm INSTANT, enter: 

[#] + [INSTANT] 

To Arm MAXIMUM, enter: 

[#] + [MAXIMUM] 

Quick Key Disarm: 

This is a unique function.  Conventional consoles do not allow 
“quick” disarming. 
To DISARM, enter: 

[#] + [OFF] 

 

Quick Key Chime 

To toggle CHIME mode on or off, enter [#] + [CHIME] 

Panic Keys 

The ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ keys (see the diagram) are comparable to 
other console key pairs of 1/

), 

/#, and 3/# respectively and 

their function will correspond to the control’s programming for 
them.   

Not all of the three panic keys will be active for the system with 
which the console is used.  This depends on the capabilities of 
the control used and its programming. 

No prior depression of the [ON/STAT] key is needed. 

Depression of any of the 3 panic keys for two seconds causes 
the transmission of its function (if/as programmed by the 
control) and powers up the console as well. The yellow 
transmission/reception LED will light, a brief key actuation 
“blip” will occur, and the display of the system status will be 
initiated, but (for personal safety purposes) confirmation 
sounds will not be emitted. 

Alarm Memory 

If the [ON/STAT] key is pressed during or following a fire or 
burglary alarm-sounding period, the 5827BD console will 
annunciate the appropriate warning sounds. 
Successive depression of the [ON/STAT] key will toggle these 
sounds off and on to alternate with the annunciation of the 
system’s armed or disarmed status. 

The system can be disarmed by entering the appropriate 
disarm sequence at the 5827BD, or any console.   
Alarm memory history  will still be present, however, as 
evidenced by the 5827BD’s blinking red LED, and silent 
sounder. 
Normally, alarm memory history is cleared  by entering the 
system’s disarm sequence a second time after the system is 
disarmed.  In this case, this second disarm sequence should 
be performed at a conventional console, after the zone(s) 
displayed there that were in alarm condition have been 
determined.
