5.14 Test Transmission
To ensure that the communication link with the central station
is functioning properly, program the panel to send a test trans-
mission signal on a regular basis.
The panel can send a
3HULRGLF7HVW7UDQVPLVVLRQ5HSRUW
LQJ &RGH
at the programmed
7HVW 7UDQVPLVVLRQ 7LPH RI
'D\
. The
7HVW7UDQVPLVVLRQ&\FOH
determines the period of
time between tests. The option
/DQG/LQH7HVW7UDQVPLVVLRQ
LQ0LQXWHV'D\V
allows you to select whether the Land Line
Test Transmission cycle will be counted in minutes or days. If
you have selected the test transmission cycle to be in min-
utes, the Test Transmission Time of Day counter will not apply.

If you program the test transmission cycle for a longer period
of time than it was programmed for previously, the system will
wait the original time period before the next test transmission
is sent, and then begin reporting with the new interval.
Users can also generate a communicator test. If the
6\VWHP
7HVW5HSRUWLQJ&RGH
is programmed, the panel will send the
signal when the System Test keypad command is entered
(see
“[*][6] User Functions” on page 9).

5.15 Transmission Delay
If the transmission delay zone attribute is selected for a given
zone, the panel will delay reporting an alarm for that zone for
the number of seconds programmed for the
7UDQVPLVVLRQ
'HOD\ 7LPH
. If the panel is disarmed before the delay time
expires, the panel will not report the event.

5.16 Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Keys
The emergency keys are available on all keypads. These keys
must be pressed and held for two seconds before they will
activate. This two second delay is designed to help prevent
accidental activation.
If the
>)@ .H\
option is enabled, when the Fire keys are
pressed and held for two seconds, the panel will activate the
alarm output. The alarm output will sound until a code is
entered or until the bell cut-off time expires. Communication of
the signal to central station is immediate.
If the [A] / Key is pressed and held for two seconds, the
panel will sound the keypad beeps three times to verify activa-
tion. The panel will beep the keypad ten times rapidly when a
kissoff is received, to verify communication to the central sta-
tion.
If the [P] / Key is pressed and held for two seconds, the
panel will immediately communicate the signal to central sta-
tion.
If
>3@.H\$XGLEOH%HOODQG%X]]HU
option is enabled, when a
user presses the [P] / key, the keypad will beep three times
and the panel will activate the alarm output until an access
code is entered or the bell cut-off expires. If the option is dis-
abled, the Panic alarm will be completely silent.
Each LCD keypad may be programmed to have the [F], [A], &
[P] keys enabled or disabled. Please refer to Appendix B:
“Programming LCD5500 Keypads” on page 41.

5.17 Arming/Disarming Options
If the
4XLFN$UP
option is enabled, the panel can be armed
without an access code by entering [*][0] or by pressing the
Stay or Away function key.
The
4XLFN([LW
option, if enabled, will allow someone to leave
an armed premises through a Delay type zone without having
to disarm and re-arm the system. See
“[*][0] Quick Exit” on
page 10.
If the
$UP'LVDUP%HOO6TXDZN
option is enabled, the panel
will squawk the alarm output once upon arming and twice
upon disarming. If an alarm is in memory, when the panel is
disarmed the bell will sound three pairs of disarm squawks.
The
2SHQLQJ $IWHU $ODUP .H\SDG 5LQJEDFN
option will
cause the keypad to beep 8 times rapidly after the Opening
After Alarm reporting code has been successfully transmitted
to the central station. The
2SHQLQJ $IWHU $ODUP %HOO 5LQJ
EDFN
option will cause the panel to squawk the bell 8 times
rapidly after the Opening After Alarm reporting code has been
successfully transmitted to the central station.

, if enabled, will cause the keypad to

been successfully transmitted to central station.
If the
%\SDVV6WDWXV'LVSOD\HG:KLOH$UPHG
option is cho-
sen, the Bypass light will be ON while the system is armed to
indicate that there are bypassed zones.
If the
$&'&,QKLELW$UPLQJ
option is enabled, the panel will
not arm if there is an AC or DC (battery) trouble present on the
system. Arming will not be allowed until the AC or battery trou-
ble is cleared. If no AC or battery trouble is currently present,
when a user attempts to arm the system, the panel will do an
automatic battery test of the main panel and modules that
support a backup battery. If the battery is good, the system
will arm. If the battery is bad, the system will not arm.
If the
$&'&,QKLELW$UPLQJ
option is disabled, the panel will
not do an automatic battery test when arming is attempted
and the user will not be prevented from arming the system
when there is an AC or battery trouble.
If you enable the
8QLGHQWLILHG :LUHOHVV .H\ 'LVDUPLQJ
option, the disarm button will work on wireless keys which
have not been assigned access codes. Wireless keys can
only be assigned access codes when used with PC5132 v3.0
or higher.
To prevent disarming by wireless keys which don’t have
access codes,
disable this option. (Please see your PC5132
manual for more information on programming wireless keys.)
