[1] Setting the Clock
The System Clock is a 24 Hr. clock and times must be entered as 2-digit
numbers.
e.g.
HH - 01, 02, .... 10, 11, .... 23, 24
MM - 01, 02, .... 35, 36, .... 58, 59
8:05 AM would be entered as 0805
1:30 PM would be entered as 1330
Setting the system 24 Hr. clock tells the system the time of day. If the
system is without power, (AC and battery), it cannot continue to keep
time. When the panel is powered up, the system clock must be reset.
If the time needs to be reset, then a trouble #6 will be indicated on the
keypad. (See [
✱
][2] System Trouble Display). Trouble #6 will not be
generated if the Test Transmission and Auto-Arm times are not
programmed with valid times. (9999 in these positions disables these
features - see Section [19]).
[2] Set Auto-Arm Time
The PC1550 can be programmed to arm at the same time each day. At
the selected Auto-Arm time, the bell will sound one short burst every 10
seconds for a one minute period if section [32] option [2] is off. The
keypad will also sound for one minute. If any key is pressed during the
1 minute warning period, Auto-Arming will be aborted. Auto-Arming will
be attempted at the same time the next day. To set the Auto-Arm time,
enter [
✱
✱
✱
✱
✱
][6][Master Code][2] then enter the hours and minutes as
described at the beginning of this section. This feature must also be
enabled (see item [5] below).
[3] For Future Use
[4] Quick-Arm
Pressing [4] while in the User Function Command mode will Enable (3
beeps) or Disable (one long beep) the Quick-Arm feature. With this feature
enabled, the panel can be armed by simply entering [
✱
][0].
[5] Auto-Arm
With this feature enabled, the panel will automatically arm at the same
time each day. The time is set in section [19] or [
✱
][6][Master Code][2].
[6] Door Chime
With this feature enabled, the keypad will beep 5 times when any zone
defined as delay, instant or auxiliary delay 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.
[8] Bell Test
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.
[9] For Future Use
[0] Installer’s Test
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], option [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. (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.
be programmed with the downloading computer’s telephone number,
the downloading access code and the panel identification code.
NOTE:
[
✱
][4] command can be programmed to require an access
code (e.g. [
✱
][4][access code]) in section [14], option [4].
User Programming Commands
[
✱
✱
✱
✱
✱
]+[5]
Pressing [
✱
][5] 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] Option [2]). The
6th code may be changed from a regular code into a “one-time” use or
“Maid’s Code”. See section [13] option [5].
NOTE:
The One-time Use code is only cleared when it is used to arm.
If the Quick-Arm command [
✱
✱
✱
✱
✱
][0] is used to arm, the “one-time” code
will
not
be erased.
Programming Access Codes:
Enter [
✱
✱
✱
✱
✱
][5][Master Code] to enter the access code programming mode.
The “Memory”, “Bypass” and “Trouble” lights will begin to flash. The zone
lights are used to indicate the program status of the 6 access codes.

Flashing
Code being programmed
Upon entering this programming mode, the 1st zone light will be ON to
indicate that the Master Code is programmed with the Factory Default
Code (“1234”). The Master Code may be changed here if the user has
been enabled to change the master code, or in section [21] by the installer.
Changing or Adding a Code
To change access codes 1 to 6, press the corresponding key (1 to 6). The
corresponding zone light will begin to flash. Enter the new four digit
number. Do not use the [
✱
] key or [#] key when entering the four digit
number. After the four digits are entered, the keypad will beep 3 times and
the zone light will come on steady. If you are changing an existing code,
the new code will replace the old one. If you wish to program another code,
press the number key for the code to be programmed and enter the new
4-digit code. Press [#] to exit.
Erasing a Code
To erase a code, enter [
✱
][5][Master Code]. Press the key of the code
you wish to erase. The zone light for that code number will flash. Enter
[
✱✱✱✱
].
NOTE:
The Master Code cannot be erased. If the Master Code is
forgotten and the panel is left disarmed, program a new Master Code
using the [
✱
][8][Installer’s Code][21] command or use the 2nd Master
Code to reprogram the Master Code.
EEPROM Reset
If the Master Code is forgotten and the panel is armed, see Programming
Section [30] for the hardware method of resetting the panel to the
factory default condition. A software reset to factory defaults cannot be
performed if the panel is armed. Reset is not necessary if the 2nd
Master Code is programmed.
User Function Commands
[
✱
]+[6]+[Master Code]
This function is used to set the System Clock time and to set the Auto-
Arm time as well as toggle a number of system functions. As soon as
the command is entered, the “Memory, “Bypass” and “Trouble ” lights
begin to flash.
Enter [
✱
][6][Master Code][Number from list below].
Items [4], [5], [6] and [0] turn ON and OFF various features. When the
item key is pressed and the feature is being turned ON, the keypad
sounder will beep 3 times. If the feature is being turned OFF the
sounder will give one long beep. Pressing item [8] gives a 2-second
Bell / Siren and Keypad Light and Buzzer test.
