CHANGING SYSTEM FEATURES
Changing Access Codes
The PC560 features 4 programmable Access Codes. The first code is the Master Code, and the remaining
three codes are normal Access Codes.
Programming Access Codes:
Enter [
∗
][5][Master Code]; the “Ready”, “Armed” and “System” lights will
FLASH. The Zone Lights will indicate which Access Codes have been programmed, and which Access
Code is presently being programmed:
Zone Light
Access Code is...
OFF
not programmed
ON steady
programmed
Flashing
presently being programmed
When the [
∗
][5][Master Code] command is entered, Zone Light 1 will be ON to indicate that the Master
Code is already programmed.
Changing or Adding a Code:
To change the Master Code or Access Codes 2 through 4, enter the number
of the code to be changed; the corresponding Zone Light will begin to FLASH. For example, enter [1] to
change the Master Code, or enter [2] to change Access Code 2, and so on.
With the desired Zone Light flashing, enter a new 4-digit Access Code. Do not press [
∗
] or [#] when
entering the code. If an existing code is being changed, the new code will replace the old one. After the
code is entered, the keypad will beep 3 times and the Zone Light will stop flashing and remain ON.
If you want to program another code, press the number key for the code to be programmed, and enter the
new 4-digit code as described above. When all desired changes are complete, press the [#] Key to return
to “Ready”.

To erase a code, enter [

the Zone Light for the code will FLASH. Enter [

] to erase the Access Code. When all desired
changes are complete, press the [#] Key to return to “Ready”.
IMPORTANT:
Do not erase the Master Code. If the Master Code is accidentally erased, contact your
installing company for assistance.
Door Chime On/Off
The Door Chime feature causes the keypad to beep whenever an Entry-Exit Zone or Instant Zone is
activated. This feature is useful if the Entry-Exit door or doors are out of view, and you would like an
indication of when the door zones are opened and closed. Note that the Door Chime feature only functions
when the system is disarmed.
To turn the Door Chime feature ON or OFF, enter [
∗
][6]. If the feature is being turned ON, the keypad
sounder will beep 3 times. If the feature is being turned OFF, the sounder will emit a single long tone.
Adjusting the Keypad Sounder Tone and Backlighting
The sounder tone and the lighting behind the keys for each Keypad may be individually adjusted. The sounder
tone may be set with a loud tone, a softer tone, or no tone at all. The backlighting can be set at medium or high
brightness, or it may be turned off.
To adjust the Keypad’s sounder, press and hold the [#] Key; after two seconds, the sounder will begin to beep.
With each beep, the tone of the beep will increase or decrease. When the desired tone is achieved, release
the [#] Key.
To adjust the Keypad’s backlighting, press and hold the [
∗
] Key. The zone and status lights will be shut off,
and the Keypad will beep as each of the three backlighting levels is shown: medium, high and off. When the
desired level is reached, release the [
∗
] Key. Press the [#] Key to return to the “Ready” mode.
If all power to the system is shut off, each Keypad’s tone and backlighting will be restored to the factory settings.
