Section 3: Keypad Commands

Use any system keypad to enter commands and/or program the PC1555MX security system. The LED keypad uses func- tion and zone indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid crystal display and uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.

The PC1555MX Instruction Manual provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user functions from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.

3.1Arming and Disarming

For a description of basic arming and disarming, please see the PC1555MX Instruction Manual. For other methods of arm- ing, please refer to “[*][0] Quick Arm”, “[*][9] Arming Without Entry Delay” and 3.5 “Function Keys” on page 11.

NOTE: The event buffer will log “Armed in Stay Mode” or “Armed in Away Mode” whenever the system is armed.

In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their sys- tem. If a non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left open at the end of the exit delay, the entry delay will begin immediately and the bell or siren will sound a steady alarm for the entry delay period. At the end of the entry delay period, if the system has not been disarmed it will go into alarm. This feature can be turned OFF in programming section [013], option [6]. (See 5.17 “Arming/Disarming Options” on page 23.)

3.2Auto Bypass – Stay Arming

Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without leaving the premises. All zones programmed as stay/away will be bypassed when the user stay arms the system, so that the user does not have to bypass interior zones manually. (See

5.2“Zone Programming” on page 15.)

When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any zones on the system have been programmed as stay/away zones, the Bypass light will turn ON. The panel will then moni- tor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such as designated entry/exit doors. If a delay zone is not violated by the end of the exit delay, the panel will bypass all stay/away zones. The Bypass light will remain on to inform the user that the interior zones have been automatically bypassed by the panel. If a delay zone is violated during the exit delay, the sys- tem will arm in Away mode and all stay/away zones will be active after the exit delay expires.

The user can arm the stay/away zones at any time by entering the [*][1] keypad command. (See “[*][1] Bypassing and Acti- vating Stay/Away Zones” on page 8.)

Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the Stay function key for two seconds on the PC5508Z and LCD5500Z keypads, if programmed by the installer. For more information regarding Stay arming, please see 3.5 “Function Keys” on page 11.

3.3Automatic Arming

The system can be programmed to Auto-Arm at a specific time every day if it is in the disarmed condition. In order for the Auto-Arm function to work properly, you must program the cor-

rect Time of Day. For programming the clock and auto-arm times, see “[*][6] User Functions” on page 10.

When the system’s internal clock matches the Auto-Arm Time, the panel will check the system status. If the system is armed, the panel will do nothing until the next day at the auto-arm time, when it will check the system again. If the system is dis- armed at the auto-arm time, the panel will sound the buzzer of all keypads for one minute. If the Bell Squawk During Auto Arm option is enabled (section [014], option [2]), the bell will squawk once every 10 seconds while the system is auto-arm- ing. If a valid access code is entered, auto-arming will be aborted.

NOTE: If auto-arm is cancelled, the number of the user who cancelled the auto-arm will be logged in the event buffer.

If no code is entered, the panel will auto-arm. If a zone is vio- lated, the panel will transmit a Partial Closing Reporting Code

–if programmed – to indicate to the central station that the system is not secure. If the zone is restored, the panel will add the zone back into the system.

NOTE: Auto arming can only be cancelled by entering a valid access code at any keypad.

3.4[*] Commands

The [*] key commands provide an easy way for the user to access basic system programming – such as programming access codes or bypassing zones. The user can also use the

[*]key commands to check on the system’s status, including viewing trouble conditions and displaying the event buffer on the LCD keypad.

The [*] key commands can be performed from both LCD and LED keypads. The LED keypad uses the zone indicator lights to display command information. The LCD display provides written information, guiding the user through each command. The commands in this section are explained as viewed from an LED keypad. When using an LCD keypad, use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through information provided. Otherwise, the functions remain the same for both keypad types.

[*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones Use the [*][1] keypad command to bypass individual zones. A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm.

NOTE: Zones can only be bypassed when the system is not armed.

If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled (section [015], option [5]), only access codes with the bypass attribute enabled will be able to bypass zones. (See 5.1 “Programming Security Codes” on page 15.)

If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is cho- sen, the Bypass light will be ON while the system is armed to indicate any bypassed zones. (See 5.17 “Arming/Disarming Options” on page 23.)

NOTE: When you disarm the system, all manually-bypassed zones will be unbypassed.

Activate Stay/Away Zones

If the system is armed in stay mode, the [*][1] command can be used to activate the stay/away zones.
