Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel
is disarmed.
To Bypass Zones:
Enter [
∗
][1] - the “Bypass” light will start flashing.
Enter [zone number 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.
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 PC1500 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. See the Zone Bypass Mask instruction in the
installer programming Section [16].
Trouble Conditions
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[2]
The PC1500 continuously monitors a number of trouble
conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the keypad
“Trouble” light will come ON and the buzzer will sound two
short beeps every 10 seconds. To silence the buzzer, press
the [#] key. The buzzer will stop but the “Trouble” light will
remain ON until the trouble condition is cleared. See the
Programming Guide Section [10], Maintenance Alarms &
Restorals for a list of trouble conditions that can be transmitted
to the monitoring station.
To view the trouble condition, press [
∗
][2].
1. Low Battery.
If the battery voltage is low, the battery is
disconnected or the battery fuse is blown, a trouble will be
displayed and can be reported.
2. AC Failure.
On loss of AC power, the “Trouble” light will
come ON immediately, but the keypad buzzer will not sound.
The keypad buzzer will sound if AC power remains off and the
battery reaches a low voltage. The delay before transmitting
AC Fail can be programmed from 1 to 99 minutes. See
Programming Section [17].
3. Fuse Failure - Bell / Siren or AUX Output.
A trouble is
displayed if the Bell / Siren fuse is open. If the AUX output
fuse fails, it will not be displayed but will be transmitted if
programmed to do so.
4. Unsuccessful Communication Attempt
If the digital
communicator is unsuccessful at communicating with the
monitoring station after 8 attempts at each phone number
that is tried, a trouble is generated. See Section [25],
Communication Variables. If a later attempt at communication
is successful, the trouble is cleared. The trouble can also be
cleared by pressing the [#] key to exit from the trouble view
mode.
5. Fire Alarm Circuit Trouble
An open circuit on the zone
programmed as a Fire Zone will initiate a trouble. See Zone
Definitions Section [11] for Fire Zone assignment.
6. Loss of Time on System Clock
...
When the PC1500 is
powered up or reset, the internal time of day clock needs to
be reset to the correct time. The trouble is cleared after
entering the trouble view mode then pressing [#] to exit. The
trouble will also be cleared on any attempt to set the time of
day. See [
∗
][6] User Function Command for setting the
clock. Press [#] to return to Ready. NOTE: A trouble will not
be generated if both the test transmission and Auto-Arm
times are not programmed with valid times.
NOTE:
If [9] is pressed while in the trouble display mode, the
most recent trouble will be displayed on the zone lights. This
trouble memory is most useful as a diagnostic tool when
installing and servicing the PC1500.
Alarm Memory
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[3]
Alarms caused during the previous armed period are stored
in memory. To view these alarms, press [
∗
] then [3]. The
“Memory” light will flash and the alarm(s) will be displayed on
the flashing zone lights.
In addition to the last alarm memory, there are two history
levels. After entering the memory mode, pressing any key [0]
to [9] will display the two other levels of alarm history. Each
time a key is pressed, the keypad will beep 1, 2 or 3 times to
indicate which level of history is being viewed.
When the panel is armed, and if there is an alarm in the 1st
level, the 1st level is cleared and the contents moved to the
2nd level. The 2nd level contents are moved to the 3rd level
and the 3rd level contents are discarded. The “Memory” light
will be ON only if there was an alarm during the previous
armed period. Press [#] to return to Ready.
Downloading Callup Command
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[4]
The [
∗
][4] command is used to initiate a call to the
downloading computer so that the panel can be accessed by
the computer. This command must be enabled in Section
[14], 3rd system option code, zone light 2. Sections [26], [27]
and [28] must be programmed with the downloading
computer’s telephone number, the downloading access
code and the panel identification code. NOTE: The [
∗
][4]
command can be programmed to require a access code
(e.g. [
∗
][4][4-digit access code]) if Section [14] light 4 is
turned ON.
User Programming Command
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[5]+[Master Code]
The [
∗
][5] programming command allows the user to program
access codes 2 through 6. The 1st access code is the Master
Code, which the installer may choose not to allow the user to
program (Section [13] light 2). The factory default for the
Master Code is “1234”. The 6th code may be changed from
a regular code into a “one-time” use or “Maid’s Code”. See
Section [13] light 5.
