feature. With this feature enabled, the keypad will beep 5
times when any zone defined as a delay or instant circuit
opens or closes. The Door Chime feature does not operate
on other zone definitions. Zone Bypass may be used to
eliminate beeping on zones where it is not wanted. The Door
Chime feature functions only while the panel is in the
Disarmed mode.
Bell Test
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[6]+[Master Code]+[8]
Pressing [8] while in the User Function Command mode will
sound the bell/siren, the keypad sounder and turn on all the
keypad lights for 2 seconds.
Installer’s Test
ON/OFF [
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[6]+[Master Code]+[0]
Pressing the [0] key while in the User Function Command
mode will enable/disable the Installer’s Test function. This
feature facilitates final testing of the system and when
enabled, the bell/siren will operate for 2 seconds each time
a zone is put into alarm. Each zone should be tripped
individually to avoid confusion about which zone originates
the alarm. To exit the Installer’s Test mode, arm then disarm
the panel.
NOTE:
The communicator will transmit all alarms and
restorals. Disable the communicator if this is not desired
(Section [12], light 1).
Utility Output Command
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[7] or [
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[7]+[Access Code]
The Programmable Output (PGM terminal) can be
programmed for activation by a keypad command. This
output can be used to operate other devices such as door
openers, special lighting, door strikes or to reset smoke
detectors. (See Programming Section [24], item 2, 3 or 4).
Depending on the option chosen, the [
∗
][7] command may
or may not require a subsequent access code.
When the correct command is entered, the keypad sounder
and the PGM output will operate for 5 seconds.
Installer’s Programming Command
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[8]+[Installer’s Code]
The PC1500 is completely programmed from the keypad by
using commands in the [
∗
][8] section. These commands are
described in detail in the programming section of this manual.
The default Installer’s Code is [1500].
Arming without Entry Delay
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[9]+[Access Code]
Entering [
∗
][9] before the arming code will arm the panel
without the Entry Delay on delay zones. Also “Home-away”
zones are automatically bypassed. When armed using the
[
∗
][9] command, the “Armed” light will flash to remind the
user that the system is armed without the Entry Delay. This
command allows the user to remain at home and have an
instant alarm on the entry doors.
Arming For The Night
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[1]
To reactivate “Home-Away” zones that have been bypassed
by arming with the [
∗
][9] command, enter [
∗
][1]. When this
command is entered, the “Armed” light will continue to flash
to remind the user that the Entry Delay is not applied to the
Delay Zones. Also, the “Bypass” light will be shut OFF to
indicate that the Home-Away zones are no longer bypassed.
Note that the [
∗
][1] command will not remove bypasses from
zones that have been manually bypassed.
Quick-Exit
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[0] when Armed
Entering [
∗
][0] when the system is armed will allow the user
to exit the premises through any delay zone without altering
the status of the system if the Quick-Exit feature is enabled.
The Quick-Exit feature can be enabled by turning on option
4 in programming Section [32]. For 2 minutes after [
∗
][0] is
entered into an armed system, one and only one delay zone
may be tripped. Any additional activity on any other active
zone will cause that zone to begin its alarm sequence.
Quick-Arm Command
[
∗∗∗∗∗
]+[0] when Disarmed
Entering [
∗
][0] is accepted as a valid arming code if the
Quick-Arm feature is enabled. This command is often used
when individuals are required to arm the system but not
disarm the system. This could be used with home visitors in
the case of a residential alarm system or for junior employees
and maintenance staff in the case of commercial systems.
See [
∗
][6] User Functions Command section, for enabling
and disabling the Quick-Arm feature.
Keypad Zones
[F] - [A] - [P]
There are three zones which can be activated with single key
entries on the keypad. For the [F], [A] and [P] keys to be
functional for transmission, they must be enabled by the
installer by entering the Alarm and Restoral Codes in
Programming Section [09].
[F]ire Key
Pressing the [F] key and holding it for 1 second
will initiate a local pulsing alarm and, if programmed, will
transmit the alarm to the monitoring station. The keypad will
sound a series of short beeps once the panel has accepted
the alarm.
[A]uxiliary Key
Pressing the [A] key and holding it for 1
second will, if programmed, transmit an Auxiliary alarm to the
monitoring station. There is no local alarm and no keypad
lights will come ON when this key function is activated. The
keypad will sound a series of short beeps upon successful
completion of the transmission to the monitoring station.
[P]anic Key
Pressing the [P] key and holding it for 1 second
will, if programmed, send a transmission to the monitoring
station. The alarm signal can be programmed to be
audible
or
silent. See Programming Section [12], 1st System Option
Code, Light 6. If programmed as
audible, the local bell / siren
will sound steadily.
Keypad audible annunciation for the [P] key is programmable,
Section [14], Light 5, for feedback (3 beeps) or silent (no
buzzer feedback). If programmed for
audible, the buzzer will
sound once the key input is accepted.
