Description
Caution
Notes
Wireless smoke detectors (WLS906-433) cannot be employed in conjunction with the PC5132-433 Wireless receiver for SIA FAR Installations.
Addressable smoke detectors (AMS220, AMS220T) cannot be employed
in conjunction with the PC5100 Addressable loop module for SIA FAR
Installations.
Fire Alarm Verification feature (Auto Verified Fire zone) is not supported
on Two wire smoke detectors zones. This feature may be enabled for 4
wire smoke detectors only.
Call Waiting Cancel (Section 382 Option 4) feature on a non -Call Waiting line will prevent successful communication to the central station.
Programming at Installation may be subordinate to other UL requirements for the intended application.
Unvacated premises: When the system/partition is armed in Stay Mode
and the exit delay time expires, the system will automatically Away Arm.
This will function properly, provided that the premises are not exited via a
Delay 1 or Delay 2. There must be a minimum of one Stay/Away or Delay
Stay/Away zone enrolled on the partition.
Cross-zones have the ability to individually protect the intended area (ex.
motion detectors, which overlap).
Cross zoning is not recommended for Line security Installations nor is it to
be implemented on exit / entry zones.
There is a Communication Delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. It
can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option of
the end user by consulting with the Installer.
Do not duplicate any reporting codes. This applies for all communication
formats other than SIA sending automatic programmed reporting codes.

Section 2: Installation and Wiring

The following sections provide a complete description of how to wire and configure devices and zones.
2.1 Installation Steps
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
The following steps are provided to assist with the installation of the
panel. It is suggested that you read over this section briefly to get an
overall understanding of the order of installation. Once this is done
carefully work through each step. Working from this plan will help
reduce problems and reduce the overall installation time required.
Step 1 Create a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the building and include all alarm detection
devices, zone expanders, keypads and all other modules that are
required.
Step 2 Mounting the Panel
Locate the panel in a dry area, preferably located near an unswitched
AC power source and the incoming telephone line. Before attaching
the cabinet to the wall be sure to press the five circuit board mounting studs into the cabinet from the back.
NOTE: Complete all wiring before applying AC or connecting the
battery.
Step 3 Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.4)
Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guidelines
provided.
Step 4 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders (Section 2.6)
If zone expander modules are being used the modules must be configured so the panel knows which zones are assigned to each
expander. Follow the guideline provided to assign zones to expanders.
Step 5 Zone Wiring (Section 2.10)
Power down the control panel and complete all zone wiring. Follow
the guidelines provided in section 2.10 to connect zones using normally closed loops, single EOL resistor, double EOL resistors, Fire
zones and Keyswitch Arming zones.
Step 6 Completing Wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone line
connections, ground connections or any other wiring necessary. Follow the guidelines provided in section 2.2 Terminal Descriptions.
Step 7 Power up the Control Panel
Once all zone wiring and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the
control panel.
NOTE: The panel will not power up if only the battery is connected.
Step 8 Keypad Assignment (Section 2.7)
Keypads must be assigned to different slots to be properly supervised. Follow the guideline provided in section 2.7 to assign keypads.
Step 9 Confirming Module Supervision (Section 2.8)
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation. Supervision
is enabled at all times so that the panel can indicate a trouble if a
module is removed from the system.
To confirm that each module is properly supervised, follow the
guidelines provided in section 2.8.
Step 10Programming the System (Sections 4 and 5)
Section 4.0 provides a complete description of how to program the
panel. Section 5.0 contains complete descriptions of the various programmable features, what options are available and how the options
function. The Programming Work Sheets should be filled out completely before attempting to program the system.
Step 11Testing the System
Test the panel completely to ensure that all features and functions
are operating as programmed.
NOTE: AC Terminals - AC
The panel requires a 16.5 volt, 40 VA transformer. Connect the transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the transformer to
these terminals.
NOTE: Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring is
complete.
Battery Connection
The battery is used to provide back up power in the event of an AC
power failure and to provide additional current when the panel
demands exceed the power output of the transformer, such as when
the panel is in alarm.
NOTE: Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is complete.
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive of the battery, the
BLACK battery lead to the negative.
Auxiliary Power Terminals - AUX+ and GND
These terminals provide up to 420mA of current at 12 VDC (rated
11.6-12.6 VDC for UL residential applications) for devices requiring power. Connect the positive side of any device requiring power
to the AUX+ terminal, the negative side to GND. The AUX output is
protected; if too much current is drawn from these terminals (wiring
short) the panel will temporarily shut off the output, until the problem is corrected.
Bell Output Terminals - BELL+ and BELLThese terminals provide up to 3 Amps of current at 12 VDC (with
stand-by battery; 700 mA continuous) for powering bells, sirens,
strobes or other warning type equipment. Connect the positive side
of any alarm warning device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL.
The BELL output is protected; if too much current is drawn from
these terminals (wiring short) the BELL PTC will open.
The Bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning device is being
used connect a 1K resistor across BELL+ and BELL to prevent the
panel from displaying a trouble condition (see section [*][2] Trouble
Display on page 11).
Keybus Terminals - RED, BLK, YEL, GRN
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with modules and
by modules to communicate with the panel. Each module has four
Keybus terminals that must be connected to the four Keybus terminals on the panel. For more information, see section 2.4 Keybus
Operation and Wiring on page 5.
Programmable Outputs - PGM1, PGM2, PGM3, PGM4
Each PGM output is designed so that
when activated by the panel, the terminal
will switch to ground
PGM1, PGM3, and PGM4 can each sink
up to 50 mA of current. These PGMs can
be used to activate LEDs or a small
buzzer. Connect the positive side of the
LED or buzzer to AUX+, the negative side
to the PGM.
PGM2 is a high current output (300mA)
and operates similarly to PGM1. If more
than 300 mA of current is required, a relay
must be used. Refer to the diagram.
Zone Input Terminals - Z1 to Z8
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the control
panel. It is suggested that each zone have one detection device however it is possible to wire multiple detection devices to the same zone.
For zone wiring specifics, see section 2.10 Zone Wiring on page 7.

Telephone Connection Terminals - TIP, RING, T-1, R-1

If a telephone line is required for central station communication or
downloading, connect an RJ-31X jack in the following manner:
Connect the PC5020 and modules that use the telephone line(s) in
the following order:
PC5936
2.4 Keybus Operation and Wiring

The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with all modules
connected and by the modules to talk to the panel. The RED and BLK
terminals are used to provide power while YEL and GRN are clock
and data.
NOTE: The 4 Keybus terminals of the panel must be connected to
the 4 Keybus terminals or wires of all modules.
The following conditions apply:
Keybus should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad (0.5mm), two
pair twisted preferred
the modules can be home run to the panel, connected in series
or can be T-tapped
any module can be connected anywhere along the Keybus, you
do not need a separate Keybus wire run for keypads, zone
expanders etc.
no module can be more than 1,000'/305m (in wire length) from
the panel
shielded wire is not necessary unless wires are run in an area that
may present excessive RF noise or interference
Example of Keybus Wiring

For example, if you are installing a PC5020 with a LINKS1000/
GSM1000 and a PC5936 Intercom module, connect the incoming
line to the LINKS1000, then from the LINKS1000 to the PC5020,
then from the PC5020 to the PC5936 Intercom and then from the
PC5936 to the house telephones
NOTE: Ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance and metallic plating requirements of 47 C.F.R. Part 68, SubPart
F. For proper operation there must be no other telephone equipment
connected between the control panel and the telephone company
facilities.
NOTE: Do not connect the alarm panel communicator to telephone lines intended for use with a FAX machine. These lines may
incorporate a voice filter which disconnects the line if anything other
than FAX signals are detected, resulting in incomplete transmissions.
2.3 Wire Routing for Power & Non-Power

Limited
All wiring entry points are designated by the arrows. All circuits are classified UL installation power limited except for the battery leads which
are not power limited.
A minimum (7mm) separation must be maintained at all points
between power limited and non-power limited wiring and connections.
Keybus
Module (A) is wired correctly

as it is within 1,000'/305m of
the panel, in wire distance.
Module (B) is wired correctly
as it is within 1,000'/305m of
the panel, in wire distance.
Module (C) is NOT wired correctly as it is further than
1,000'/305m from the panel,
in wire distance.
2.5 Current Ratings - Modules & Accessories

2.6 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders

The main panel contains zones 1 to 8. Additional zone expanders
may be added to increase the number of zones on the system. Each
zone expander consists of one group of 8 zones. Each module must
be set to assign the specific zones to the expander. To do this, set the
jumpers located on the expander to the proper settings (see chart
below).
32 zones on the Power864 system. PC5108 v1.0 and lower, PC5108L,
PC5700, and PC5720 each enroll as two expander modules.
NOTE: Before a zone expander will work properly, you must set the
jumpers so the panel can determine the correct zone assignment.
NOTE: It is not recommended to use Rev01 and Rev02 simultaneously on the same Power864.
The following are the jumper settings for different zone assignments
for PC5108 v2.0 modules. If you need to enroll PC5108 v1.0,
PC5108L or PC5700 modules, refer to the appropriate module Installation Sheet for the correct jumper settings.

2.7 Keypad Assignment

There are 8 available slots for keypads. LED and LCD5501Z keypads
by default are assigned to slot 1. The LCD5500Z is assigned by
default to slot 8. Keypads can each be assigned to a different slot (1
to 8) which offers two advantages. The panel can supervise the keypad connection to indicate a trouble condition if it is removed. Also
keypads can be assigned to operate a specific partition, or to operate
as a global keypad.
How to Assign Keypads
NOTE: All keypad assignment must be done at each keypad on the
system. When using LCD5500(Z) keypads, one keypad must remain in
slot 8. Do not assign more than one keypad to the same slot.
NOTE: The following keypad versions can only be used on the Partition 1 and Partition 2, and the first 8, 16, or 32 zones:
PC5508(Z), PC5516(Z), PC5532(Z) versions v2.00 and lower

the module is more than 1,000'/305m from the panel
the module does not have enough power
the PC5132 does not have any devices added
2.9 Removing Modules

If a module is no longer required on the system, the panel must be
told to stop supervising the module. To do this:
1. Remove the module from the Keybus.
2. Press [*] [8] [Installer Code] to enter Installer Programming.
3. Press [902] to enable supervision. The panel will automatically
search for all modules on the system, will see that the module
has been removed, and will stop supervising it.
4. Once the search is complete (it will take about 1 minute) enter
section [903] to confirm that the correct modules are supervised
on the system.
2.10 Zone Wiring

For a complete description of the operation of all zone types, see
section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 on page 17.
There are several different ways in which zones may be wired,
depending on which programming options have been selected. The
panel can be programmed to supervise normally closed, End of Line,
or Double End of Line loops. Refer to the following sections to study
each type of individually supervised zone wiring.
NOTE: Any zone programmed for Fire or 24 Hour Supervisory must
be wired with a single End of Line (EOL) resistor regardless of the
type of zone wiring supervision selected for the panel (section [013],
options [1] and [2]). See Zone Definitions [001] [004]. If you change
the zone supervision options from DEOL to EOL or from NC to DEOL
(section [013], options [1] or [2]), power the system down completely, and then power it back up for correct operation.
Normally Closed (NC) Loops
To enable normally closed loops, programming section [013], option
[1] must be ON.
NOTE: This option should only be selected if Normally Closed (NC)

devices/contacts are being used.

To enable panel detection of double end of line resistors, programming section [013], option [1] must be OFF and option [2] must be ON.
NOTE: If the Double EOL supervision option is enabled, all hardwired zones must be wired for Double EOL resistors, except for Fire
and 24 Hour Supervisory zones.
Do not wire DEOL resistors on keypad zones.
Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones or 24 Hour Supervisory
zones. Do not wire Fire zones to keypad zone terminals if the DEOL
supervision option is selected.
This option can only be selected if Normally Closed (NC) detection
devices or contacts are being used. Only one NC contact can be connected to each zone.

Fire Zone Wiring - 4-wire Smoke Detectors

All zones defined as Fire (see section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS
Sect 3 on page 17) must be wired according to the following diagram:
NOTE: The LINKS1000 Answer zone is only required for downloading to the panel via the LINKS1000, or for remotely connecting to
the Escort5580 module via the LINKS1000.
NOTE: When using the LINKS1000, Busy Tone Detection must not
be used.
NOTE: Keypad zones cannot be used for 24 Hour Supervisory or
LINKS1000 Answer.
LINKS 2X50/LINKS 3000/Skyroute
Refer to the LINKSX50, LINKS3000 and Skyroute Installation Manuals for wiring and installation details.
2.11 Keypad Zones
For a complete description of how fire zones operate, see section 5.3
Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 on page 17.
Fire Zone Wiring - 2-wire Smoke Detectors
If PGM 2 has been programmed for 2-Wire Smoke Detector connection (see section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 on page 17) ,
the detectors must be wired according to the following diagram:
Keypads with zone inputs can be connected to devices such as door

contacts. This saves you from running wires back to the control panel
for every device.
To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic by removing the screw
at the bottom of the unit. Locate the five terminals on the keypad
circuit board. Connect the four Keybus wires from the control panel:
the red wire to R, the black to B, the yellow to Y and the green to G.
To connect the zone, run one wire to the Z terminal and the other to
B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply power to the
device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and the black
wire to the B (negative) terminal.
When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according to
one of the configurations outlined in Section 2.10 Zone Wiring on
page 7.
For a complete description of how fire zones operate, see section 5.3
Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 on page 17.
Keyswitch Zone Wiring
Zones may be programmed to be used as keyswitch arming zones
and must be wired according to the following diagram:
For a complete description of how keyswitch zones operate, see section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 on page 17.
LINKS1000 Supervisory (24 Hour Supervisory)
When using the LINKS1000 cellular communicator, any main board
zone may be configured for LINKS1000 Supervision. Program this zone
as zone type (09), 24 Hour Supervisory in section [001].
With a 24 Hour Supervisory zone, if the LINKS1000 experiences a
trouble, the zone will be violated, causing the panel to report the
event to the central station. This type of zone always requires a single
EOL resistor (5600).Refer to Links 1000 Installation Manual wiring
diagram for installation.
LINKS1000 Answer
If the LINKS1000 cellular communicator is
being used a zone may be configured for
LINKS1000 Answer to allow downloading
to be performed in the event of telephone
line failure.
When the LINKS1000 receives a telephone
call it will activate the RING terminal on
the LINKS1000 circuit board. This terminal
can be used to violate a zone programmed as (24) LINKS1000
Answer (see section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 on page 17),
causing the panel to seize the telephone line and begin communication with the downloading computer.
The zone programmed as LINKS1000 Answer ALWAYS requires a single EOL resistor (5600) and must be wired according to the diagram above.
NOTE: End of line resistors must be placed on the device end of the
loop, not at the keypad.
NOTE: Keypad zones do not support DEOL resistors.
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be assigned a
zone number in Installers Programming.
First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into the
desired slots (see section 2.7 Keypad Assignment on page 6).
Next, enter programming section [020] to assign the zones. There
are eight programming locations in this section, one for each keypad
slot. Enter a 2-digit zone number for each of the keypad zones. This
number must be entered in the location corresponding to the keypad
to which each zone is connected.
NOTE: If a keypad zone input is assigned on zone number from 1
to 8, the corresponding zone cannot be used on the main control
panel.
Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also program zone
definitions and zone attributes (See Section 5.3 Basic Programming
PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004] and Section 5.4 Advanced System Programming PWS Sect 4 [101]-[164])

3.2 Programming Decimal Data

When the Ready light is ON the panel is waiting for the information
to be programmed for the selected Section. Enter the information
written in the boxes for the Section found in the Programming
Worksheets.
If a digit is entered for each program box in a Section the panel will
automatically exit from the Section. It will turn OFF the Ready light
and turn the Armed light back ON.
You can also press the [#] key to exit a Section before entering data
for every box. This is handy if you only need to change the first few
program boxes. All other locations in the Section will remain
unchanged. If the [#] key is pressed the panel will turn OFF the Ready
light, turn ON the Armed light and exit you from the Section.

[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[1] to enter digit 1
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the
[#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re-enter the
information correctly.
If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero [0]
does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to send
any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To make a
zero [0] transmit, it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal A.
Example: for the three digit account number 403, you would enter
[4], [*] [1] [*] [3], [0].
[4] to enter the digit 4
[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[1] to enter A
[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[3] to enter the digit 3
[0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.
3.4 Programming Toggle Options

Some Sections contain several toggle options. The panel will use
zone lights 1 through 8 to indicate if the different options are
enabled or disabled. Refer to the Programming Worksheets to determine what each option represents and whether the light should be
ON or OFF for your application.
Press the number corresponding to the option to toggle the light ON
or OFF.
Once all the toggle options have been selected correctly press the [#]
key to exit the Section and save the changes. The panel will turn off
the Ready light and turn on the Armed light.
3.5 Viewing Programming

LED and LCD5501Z Keypads
Any programming section can be viewed from an LED or LCD5501Z
keypad. When a programming section is entered, the keypad will
immediately display the first digit of information programmed in that
section.
The keypad displays the information using a binary format, according
to the following chart:
See Hex data
entry instructions
3.3 Programming Hexadecimal Data

On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To program
a HEX digit press the [*] key. The panel will enter HEX programming
and Ready light will begin to flash.
The following table indicates which number should be pressed to
enter the corresponding HEX digit:
1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=E
6=F
After the correct HEX digit is entered the Ready light will continue to
flash. If another HEX digit is required press the corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required press the [*] key again. The Ready
light will turn on solid and the panel will return to regular decimal
programming.
NOTE: It is important to watch the Ready light. If the light is flashing
any number you enter will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.
Example: To enter C1 for a closing by user 1, you would enter [*] [3]
[*], [1]
[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
Press any of the Emergency Keys (Fire, Auxiliary or Panic) to advance

to the next digit.
When all the digits in a section have been viewed, the panel will exit
the section: the Ready Light will turn OFF, and the Armed light will
turn ON, waiting for the next three-digit programming section number to be entered.
Press the [#] key to exit the section
LCD Keypad
When a programming section is entered, the keypad will immediately
display all the information programmed in that section. Use the arrow
keys (< >) to scroll through the data being displayed. To exit the section, scroll past the end of the data displayed, or press the [#] key.
Section 4: Keypad Commands

Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the Power864 security system. The LED keypad uses function 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 Power864 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.
4.1 Arming and Disarming
Using the Stay Button While Away Armed
Arming
The system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is on. If the
Ready light is not on, ensure all protected doors and windows are
secure and stop movement in areas covered by motion detectors.
When the Ready light is on, enter a valid access code. As each digit
is pressed the keypad will beep. If an incorrect code is entered, the
keypad will emit a steady 2 second beep to indicate that the code
was not correct. If the code is correct but the Ready light was not
on, the panel will beep six times rapidly followed by a long two second beep to indicate the system was not ready.
When the correct code is entered and the system is ready, the panel
beeps six times rapidly, and the Armed light turns on. The panel
begins counting down the exit delay. If the Audible Exit Delay
option is enabled, the keypad will beep every second until the exit
delay expires. The keypad will beep rapidly for the last 10 seconds of
exit delay to warn the user the system is about to arm.
Exit the premises through the designated entry/exit door before the
exit delay expires.
Users can restart the exit delay while it is counting down by pressing
the Away key. The system will not log the user who re-started the
exit delay, unless the Quick Arming Disabled/Function Keys
Require Code option is turned on (Section [015], Option [4]).
Other methods of arming are available (See section 4.3 Function Keys).
NOTE: The PC5020 has a built-in feature called Audible Exit Fault.
(See Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004] for more
information.
Stay and Away Arming
When a user arms the system, if any zones on the system have been
programmed as Stay/Away, the panel will immediately turn on the
Bypass light. The panel will then monitor all zones programmed as
Delay 1 and Delay 2. If no delay type zone is violated by the end of
the exit delay (e.g. nobody leaves through the entry/exit door), the
panel will bypass all Stay/Away type zones. The panel is now Stay
armed. The Bypass light will remain on to inform the home owner
that the interior protection is bypassed. This is a convenience for
users that want to arm the panel while at home. Using this method,
users do not have to bypass the interior zones manually.
Users can add the Stay/Away zones back into the system at any time
by entering [*] [1] (see section [*][1] Zone Bypassing on page 10), or
by using the Away function button.
If a delay zone is violated during the exit delay (e.g. somebody leaves
through the designated entry/exit door), all zones will be active after
the exit delay expires. The panel is now Away armed. The Bypass
light on the keypad will be off.
Other methods of Stay and Away arming are available (see section
4.3 Function Keys on page 13).
Pressing the Stay key while a partition is Away armed will begin the
Exit Delay again. The panel will log Armed in Stay Mode. This feature is useful for users with Wireless Keys with Stay/Away buttons,
and who wish to have their panel armed at all times.
NOTE: If Function Keys require the entering of an access code, a
valid access code must be entered to toggle between arming modes.
The access code used to perform this function will be logged with
User Log User XX. Swinger Shutdown will be reset if the Stay or
Away buttons are pressed while the system is armed.
Disarming
To disarm the panel, enter the premises through the designated
entry/exit door. The keypad will emit a steady beep to warn that you
must disarm the system. During the last 10 seconds of entry delay
the panel will pulse the keypad beeper on and off rapidly to warn
the entry delay is about to expire.
Enter a valid Access Code at the keypad. If an error is made, re-enter
the code correctly. When a correct code is entered the keypad will
turn off the Armed light and stop the keypad buzzer.
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed the Memory light
and the zones which caused the alarm will be flashing. Press the [#]
key to return the keypad to the Ready state.
Event Buffer
The panel will store the last 256 events that have occurred on the
system. Each event will contain the time, date, partition and the
event itself along with the zone number, access code number or any
other information pertaining to the event.
If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown feature is enabled
the event buffer will not store events after the swinger shutdown
level has been reached. This will prevent the panel from overwriting
the entire buffer if a problem exists (See Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [377]. The event buffer can be viewed three
different ways. It can be viewed through an LCD keypad, printed onsite using the PC5400 printer module or it can be uploaded through
the DLS software.
Viewing the Event Buffer
The following is the procedure for viewing the event buffer through
the LCD keypad:
Step 1 - Enter [*] [6] [Master Code]
Step 2 - Select View Event Buffer
The keypad will display the Event Number, Partition, Time and Date
of the event in question. Use the [*] key to toggle between this
information and the event itself. Use the arrow keys (<>) to scroll
through the events in the buffer.
When you have finished viewing the event buffer press the [#] key to
exit.
NOTE: When viewing events for partitions 3 to 8 on an LCD5500
v2.x and lower keypad, they will show as being logged in the System Area.
Using the Away Button While Stay Armed

If a partition is armed in Stay mode and a user wishes to leave the
premises without having to disarm and re-arm the system, they may
press the Away button. The system will begin counting the standard
exit delay, allowing the user to leave without actually disarming. The
panel will log Armed in Away Mode upon completion of the Exit
Delay. This feature is useful for users with Wireless Keys with Stay/
Away buttons, and who wish to have their panel armed at all times.
4.2 [] Commands
[*][1] Zone Bypassing
Users can bypass individual zones using the [*] [1] keypad command.
This command can be used if users want to have access to an area
while the Partition is armed, or to bypass a defective zone (bad contact, damaged wiring) until service can be provided.
10
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. Instructions on zone

bypassing can be found in the Power864 Instruction Manual (Zone
Bypassing).
When the partition is disarmed, all zones bypassed using [*] [1] will
be unbypassed, except for 24-Hr zones.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, an access code
will be required to enter the Bypass mode. Only access codes with
the Bypass attribute enabled will be able to bypass zones (see section
[Q] [5] Programming Access Codes on page 12).
These features are also available on the [*][1] zone bypassing menu:
Bypass Recall: Press [99] while in the [*][1] menu to recall the
last set of bypassed zones.
Clear Bypasses: Press [00] while in the [*][1] menu to clear all
bypassed zones.
Bypass Groups: Users can program a group of zones to be
bypassed (bypass group). Each partition can have a different
bypass group. To program a bypass group, in the [*][1] menu,
select the zones to be bypassed. Press [95] to save the group. To
recall the group, press [*][1] followed by [91].
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, the Master
code or Supervisor codes must be used to access this feature.
NOTE: If a 24 hour zone is bypassed, ensure that the zone is
restored or disabled before removing the bypass.
The various troubles are described below:
Code required for bypass . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [015], Option [5]

[] [3] Alarm Memory

The Memory light will be on if any alarm occurred during the last
armed period or if an alarm occurred while the panel was disarmed
(24 hour zones). Instructions on viewing alarms in memory are
located in the PC5020 Instruction Manual (Disarming the System).
[] [4] Door Chime On/Off
If enabled the keypad will beep 6 times rapidly when a zone is
tripped and restored. The panel will only do this for zones with the
Door Chime attribute enabled and if the door chime feature is
enabled (See Section 5.4 Advanced Programming PWS Sect 4
{101]-[164]).
[] [5] Programming Access Codes
All access codes can arm and disarm any partition they are enabled
for, and can activate the PGM outputs using the [*][7] commands
(see section [*] [7] Command Output Functions on page 13).
For instructions on programming access codes, see the Power864
Instruction Manual (Programming Access Codes).
The available access codes are as follows:
General Access Codes - Access Codes [01] to [32]

Each access code can be used to arm and disarm the assigned partitions. Additional access code attributes are also programmable to
determine what abilities the code will have.
You can program partition assignments and access code attributes
by following the instructions in this section.
Duress Codes - Access Codes [33] and [34]

When a Duress Code is used to perform any function the panel will
send a Duress Reporting Code to the central station (See Section
5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004]) (See Section 5.6
Communicator Programming PWS Sect 6)).
Supervisor Codes - Access Codes [41] and [42]

Supervisor Codes can program additional access codes. By default,
Supervisor codes have the same partition and attribute programming
as the Master code. You can change the partition and attribute programming for these codes by following the instructions in this section.
System Master Code - Access Code [40]

By default the System Master Code is enabled to operate on all partitions, and can perform any keypad function. This code can be used
to program all access codes, including the Supervisor Codes and
Duress Codes.
If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled the System
Master Code can only be changed using Installer Programming.
Maintenance Code
The maintenance code can only be used to arm and disarm the system. It cannot be used to bypass zones, to access the Escort5580, or
to cancel or postpone automatic arming. The code can only be programmed in Installers Programming.
Programming Partition Assignments and Access Code
Attributes
You can enable or disable each access code to work on each partition. Additional access code attributes are also programmable.
Attributes determine what abilities the code will have.
By default, each code has the attributes of the code used to program
it. For example, if you use the Master code to program other access
codes, the new codes will have the same attributes as the Master
code. You can change the partition and attribute programming by
following the instructions described below.
You cannot change Master code partition or attribute programming.
The Master code has all partitions and all attributes turned on,
except for the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming attribute.
To program which partition(s) each code will work on:

1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][8] to enter partition programming.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit.
3. Enter the partition number (1-8) to toggle it on or off.
NOTE: Partition programming is NOT supported at the following
keypads: PC5508(Z), PC5516(Z), PC5532(Z) versions v2.00 and lower;
LCD5500(Z) version 2.x and lower; LCD5501Z version 1.x and lower.
To program each attribute:

1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][9] to enter the attribute programming
mode.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to edit.
3. Enter the attribute number to toggle it on or off.
The programmable attributes are as follows:
Attributes 1-2: For future use
Attribute 3: Zone Bypass enabled
This attribute allows the user to bypass zones.
Attribute 4: Escort5580 Remote Access
This attribute allows the user to access the security system via the
Escort, if installed.
Attribute 5: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone Number 1.
For use with the Escort5580 and the PC5108L/DLM-4L (see the
PC5108L Installation Manual for details).
Attribute 6: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone Number 2.
For use with the Escort5580 and the PC5108L/DLM-4L (see the
PC5108L Installation Manual for details).
Attribute 7: Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming. When this
attribute is turned on, the bell will squawk when the access code is
entered to arm or disarm the system. For example, you can use the
arm/disarm bell squawk attribute to have wireless key access codes
squawk the bell, while other codes are silent. To do this, enable
attribute [7] on all access codes associated with wireless keys.
NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming option
(section [014], option [1]), the bell will sound arm/disarm bell
squawks for all access codes, regardless of the programming for
attribute [7] (See Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001][004] (See Section 5.4 Advanced Programming).
Installers Programming - Codes and Options
There are three codes which can be programmed by the installer in
Installers Programming: the Master code, the Installers code, and a
Maintenance code. All other access codes can be programmed
through the [*][5] command, as described previously in this section.
The master code can also be programmed by the user as access code
(40). However, if the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled,
the master code can only be changed in Installers programming.
The Maintenance code can only be used to arm and disarm the system. The Maintenance code cannot bypass zones, use [*][9] to arm
the system, cancel autoarming, or perform [*][7] command functions. There will be no arm/disarm bell squawks when the Maintenance code is used.
General access codes can arm and disarm the system. When the
Code Required for Bypassing option is enabled, users will need to
enter a valid access code in order to bypass zones. Individual access
codes can have the Zone Bypassing attribute disabled under Access
Code Attribute programming, as described previously in this section.

This Section identifies the Client, Installation Date, Installers Code, Hardware configuration and Programming summary for each zone. Remove
these pages and retain for reference.
5.2 Keypad Programming PWS Sect 2

Refer to Section 2.6 Keypad Assignment
5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3

[001]-[004] - Zone Definitions
These sections require 16 two digit entries. Each two digit number entered determines how a zone will operate.
NOTE: In addition to selecting how each zone will operate, attributes may be programmed by zone (See Section 5.4 Advanced Programming
PWS Sect 4 [101-[164]).
[001]-[004] ZONE DEFINITIONS
Option
Zone Type
Description
00
Null Zone
For zones that are not used and do not require a closed loop or EOL resistor
01
Delay 1
Follows the Entry Delay 1 and Exit Delay programmed in Section [005] and is normally used for Entry/Exit doors. The
exit delay starts as soon as the panel is armed. The zone may be opened and closed during the delay time without
causing an alarm. After the exit delay time has expired, opening the zone will start the Entry Delay timer. During the
Entry Delay time, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system should be disarmed. If the
panel is disarmed before the Entry Delay expires, no alarm will be generated.
02
Delay 2
Operates the same as Type [01] zone except the Entry Delay time can be independently set in Section [005]. The Exit
Delay time is common to both zone types.
03
Instant
Normally used for door and window contacts and has the standard Exit Delay, but is instant when opened after the
Exit Delay expires
04
Interior
Used with interior motion detectors. Interior zones feature an Exit Delay and an Entry Delay provided that any Delay
type zone has been tripped first. If the protected area is entered without coming through the a delayed entrance and
an Interior zone is tripped, an immediate alarm will be generated
05
Interior Stay/Away.
If the system is armed and a Delay zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay time, this zone type will be bypassed. If
the [*][1] command is used to activate all Stay/Away type zones, this zone will have the standard exit delay. Once
armed, this zone will act like an Interior type zone [04].
06
Delay Stay/Away
If the system is armed and a Delay zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay time, this zone type will be bypassed. If
the [*][1] command is used to activate all Stay/Away type zones, this zone will have the standard exit delay. Once
armed, this zone will follow the Entry Delay time for Entry Delay 1 when tripped.
07
Delayed 24 Hour Fire

(Hardwired)
Operates the same as the standard Fire zone, except the alarm memory and transmission by the communicator is
delayed by 30 seconds. If the alarm is acknowledged by pressing any key within 30 seconds, the bells will silence and
the transmission will be aborted. If the alarm has been acknowledged, and the smoke detector has not been
restored to normal, the bell output will activate after 90 seconds, the user then has another 30 second delay before
the bell output latches and communications is activated. A code is then required to silence the bell output.
NOTE: The Fire Delay will be terminated if a 2nd Fire zone is tripped or if the [F] key is pressed during a delay.
08
Standard 24 Hour Fire

(Hardwired)
On alarm, the bell output will sound to indicate that the fire loop has been activated. If enabled, the communicator
will immediately transmit the alarm to the monitoring station.
NOTE: DO NOT change the Zone Attributes of Fire type zones from the default settings.
09
24 Hour Supervisory
This zone is active at all times and will report an alarm at all times. The Supervision Options (NC, EOL, DEOL, ZD) do
not affect the functionality of the zone.
NOTE: This zone type must not be used for wireless zones.
10
24 Hour Supervisory
Buzzer
This zone is active at all times and will report an alarm at all times. Once tripped, the keypad buzzer will sound until
a valid access code is entered.
NOTE: This zone type should not be used on a Keyswitch ONLY system
11
24 Hour Burglary
This zone is active at all times and will report an alarm if the panel is armed or disarmed. This zone will sound the bell
for the length of Bell cutoff if the audible attribute is enabled.
12
24 Hour Holdup
Similar to 24 Hour Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
13
24 Hour Gas
Similar to 24 Hour Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute
14
24 Hour Heat
15
24 Hour Medical
16
24 Hour Panic
17
24 Hour Emergency
18
24 Hour Sprinkler
19
24 Hour Water
20
24 Hour Freeze
21
24 Hour Latching
Tamper.
This zone type, when violated, will cause arming of the system to be inhibited until the valid Installer code is entered.
If this zone type is violated, the Installers code must be entered ([*][8] Installers Code) before the system can be
armed.
22
Momentary Keyswitch
Arm.
A keyswitch module may be connected to the zone programmed as Momentary Keyswitch arm. Momentary activation of this zone to the alarm state will alternatively arm and disarm the system and silence alarms.
NOTE: The keypad will not display an indication when this type of zone is activated.
23
Maintained Keyswitch
Arm
A Normally Open Keyswitch module may be connected to the zone programmed as Maintained Keyswitch arm. In
the restored state, the panel is disarmed. Only the violation of this zone type to the alarm state will make the panel
arm.
17
[001]-[004] ZONE DEFINITIONS

Option
Zone Type
Description
24
LINKS Answer
Provides the LINKS with a forced answer for downloading. The Restored state of this zone type is 5.6K, and the
open state causes the panel to answer.
NOTE: This zone type must not be used for wireless zones.
25
Interior Delay Zone
The Interior Delay Zone is normally used with motion detectors and has a standard exit delay time. If the panel is
armed, and a Delay zone is violated during the Exit Delay (or the Away function key is used), the Interior Delay Zone
will be active at the end of the Exit Delay. This zone will cause an instant alarm when violated. This zone type will follow the Entry Delay time provided that a Delay zone is violated first. If the panel is armed, and a Delay zone is NOT
violated during the Exit Delay (or the Stay function key is used, or [*][9] armed), a violation of this zone type will initiate Entry Delay 1.
26
24 Hour Non-Alarm
These zones are active at all times but do not cause an alarm, and do not show up in alarm memory. Zone Attributes
such as Zone Bypassing and Door Chime affect the functionality of this zone. A 24 Hour Non-alarm zone may be
used for Zone Follower automation applications.
NOTE:This zone type will be active in Walk Test. Tampers and Faults. Zones programmed as 24 Hour Non-alarm
type will not cause alarms.
NOTE: Alarms on this zone will not initiate Downlook.
27
Delayed 24Hr Waterflow*
These zones will follow the waterflow Delay Timer. When a delayed waterflow zone is violated, the waterflow timer
will start, (any subsequent delayed waterflow zones that become active do not reset or abort this timer). If there are
still delayed waterflow zones open when the waterflow timer expires, the panel will go into alarm and communicate
the event(s) regardless of the armed state.
28
Instant 24Hr Waterflow*
A Waterflow alarm is a Fire alarm. The Fire related bells and Aux functions are activated. This Zone type functions
similar to Type 27 (Delayed 24Hr Water-flow), but does not follow the Water-flow Delay Timer. When this zone is
violated, it will immediately go into alarm. This zone type always uses a single EOL configuration.
29
Auto Verified Fire Zone
This zone ensures that an alarm condition persists by resetting a tripped sensor in a fire zone and confirming that the
sensor has remained tripped or is waiting for the sensor to re-trip within a set period of time. (e.g. Cycling power to
a smoke detector to ensure the condition persists when power is restored.) The alarm sequence for the zone is indicated below:
Step #1
Duration 20 Seconds
Sensor Reset
Step #2
Duration 10 Seconds
Settle Time (Power Up)
Step #3
Duration 60 Seconds
Check for Verified Alarm
NOTE: If another Fire device detects Fire during the Auto Verify or Delay sequence, the sequence is terminated and
alarms are immediately generated for all pending zones. This applies to all other Fire zones on the system regardless
of the partition assignments (i.e. two fire alarms anywhere on the system will cancel all pending fire delays and create immediate alarms).
30
Fire Supervisory Zone
When this zone is violated, the system turns on the keypad buzzer, and communicates the supervisory alarm condition to the monitoring station. The buzzer will not follow the Bell-Time-Out timer. To silence the buzzer, a valid
access code must be entered.
NOTE: The fire supervisory alarm is not affected by the water-flow silence inhibit option described in [018], Option
4, Pg 32
31
Day Zone
A zone programmed with this type has different characteristics in the armed and disarmed state. In the disarmed
state, violating this zone will sound the keypad buzzer but will not log or report the event. In the armed state, violating this zone will sound the bell and communicate the event..
87
Delayed 24 Hour Fire

(Wireless)
Used only with wireless smoke detectors. Functions same as that of Zone Type [07].
88
Standard 24 Hour Fire

(Wireless)
Used only with wireless smoke detectors. Functions same as that of Zone Type [08].
[005] - System Times

This section has 9 sub-sections, 1 for each of the 8 partitions, and 1
for the Bell timeout. A 2-digit entry is required to access these subsections.
NOTE: Entry of 000 in these sections will result in a 255 second time.
Sub-Sections 1-8 each require three 3-digit entries.
[01] - [08] Entry Delay 1, Entry Delay 2, and Exit Delay per Partition.
Entry Delay 1: (030-255) Seconds
This value determines the Entry delay time for Delay 1 type zones.
The default Entry Delay 1 time is 30 seconds.
Entry Delay 2: (030-255) Seconds
This value determines the Entry delay time for Delay 2 type zones.
The default Entry Delay 2 time is 30 seconds.
Exit Delay: 045-255 Seconds
This value determines the Exit delay time when arming the system.
The default Exit Delay time is 60 seconds.
NOTE: The exit delay must not exceed 255 seonds. The minimum
possible entry is 45 seconds.
NOTE: If the Exit Delay is silent (Section 014, Option 6 or Stay Function Key Arming) the Exit Delay will be twice the programmed value
(090-510 seconds).
[09] Bell Cut-off: 001-255 Minutes
The Bell Cut-off for all 8 partitions will be the same.
* Not verified by UL
18
The siren will silence after the number of minutes programmed for the
Bell Cut-off time have passed. The default Bell Cut-off is 4 minutes
The panel supervises the Bell output. If an open condition is
detected, the panel will immediately indicate a trouble condition by
beeping the keypad twice every 10 seconds to alert the owner of the
problem. The panel can send a Bell Circuit Trouble and Trouble
Restoral reporting codes to indicate the situation (See Section 5.6
Communicator Programming PWS Sect 6).
If the Temporal Three Fire Signal option is enabled, all Fire signals
will follow the Temporal Three Pattern as described in NFPA 72. If
turned OFF all Fire signals will sound a one second on, one second
off cadence.
If Fire Bell Continuous is enabled, the alarm output will sound until
a code is entered. If disabled, the alarm will sound until a code is
entered or the bell cut-off time has expired.
NOTE: Only fire zones will follow the Temporal Three Fire Signal.

This output will activate when the bell output is active and will turn off when the alarm output is silenced. If the
alarm output is pulsing, the PGM output will pulse as well. This PGM output will follow:
Fire Pre-alerts
Temporal Three Fire Signal (if enabled)
All Burglary and Fire Alarms by Partition
Bell Cut-Off time
This output will NOT follow Bell Squawks of any kind. The Main Bell will still activate for all alarms; the PGM output will only activate for alarms for the partition it is assigned to.
NOTE: The Fire Bell has precedence over Burglary. If a fire alarm occurs on Partition X, and Partition Y already has
a Burglary Alarm active (Burg PGM active on Partition Two), the Fire and Burg output on Partition Y will pulse
(Fire PGM) with the Main Bell. Silent alarms will be audible if the either Partition is in an audible alarm condition.

04
Two-Wire Smoke Reset

(PGM2 only).
When this option is selected, the PGM functions much like option 03 in that it is normally low supplying the negative return. However, 2 Wire smoke detectors can be supported which means that a zone input does not need to
be used. The PGM terminal also supervises the input and generates a trouble condition with the absence of a
2.2K resistor between it and the Aux + terminal. The two wire smoke detector input is an instant and latching
alarm.
05
System Armed Status.
The output will activate when the Partition or System is armed and deactivate when disarmed. If this output is
assigned to both partitions, all partitions must be Armed for the output to activate.
06

(PGM2 Only).
With this input the Keypad will not indicate an alarm, the Bell will remain silent but the signal will be sent to the
Central Station. This input does not follow Swinger Shutdown. A 2.2K EOL resistor is required for this input (to
Aux+). If a short or open occurs, an alarm is generated.
24
Audible 24 Hour (PGM 2

only).
LCD keypads will show that the system is in alarm, and the Bell will sound for the Duration of BTO. The signal will
also be sent to the Central Station. This input does not follow Swinger Shutdown. A 2.2K EOL resistor is required
for this input (to Aux+). If a short or open occurs, an alarm is generated.
25
Delay Fire and Burglar

Output.
This programmable output type operates the same as the Fire and Burglary Output (Type 01), except it follows the
Transmission Delay Timer found in Section [370]. If a zone is violated that has the TX Delay Attribute enabled (Bit
7), the Bell and Regular Fire and Burg PGMs will activate. At the end of the Transmission Delay, this new PGM type
will activate.
This feature is used for outside sirens; if a false alarm occurs on a panel, the end user could silence it before any
external sirens are activated.
NOTE: If a zone is violated that causes an alarm that does not have Tx Delay enabled, these outputs will activate
immediately.
This Output is partitionable, and will follow transmission delay by partition.
This Output will activate for Audible Exit Fault

Programming Sections: 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3
[012] - Keypad Lockout Options

The panel can be programmed to lockout keypads if a series of
incorrect access code entries are made. After the Number of Invalid
Codes Before Lockout has been reached the panel will lock out the
keypad for the Lockout Duration and log the event to the event
buffer. For the duration of the lockout the panel will sound an error
tone when any key is pressed.To program Number of Invalid Codes
Before Lockout
Enter a number from 000 to 255 to determine the number of invalid
master, duress, user or installer access code entries to reach keypad
lockout. When keypad lockout occurs, the system is rendered inoperative via keypad for the programmed duration. When any keys are
pressed, an error tone will sound.
To program Lockout Duration, enter a time from 000 to 255 minutes to determine the length of time before lockout resets and the
keypad can once again be used.
NOTE: If lockout is not reached within the hour roll-over, the number of invalid attempts is reset to 0.
NOTE: FAP keys are still active during Keypad Lockout.
NOTE: Keypad Lockout is a Global Feature.
To disable Keypad Lockout enter the Number of Invalid Codes
Before Lockout as (000).

ON
Normally Closed Loops. All zones are wired as normally closed circuits with returns connected to a
COM terminal. The end-of-line resistor is not required. An alarm will be generated when the circuit is
opened.
OFF
End-of-Line Resistors. All zones must be wired with an end-of-line resistor, or DEOL depending on
Option [2], connected between the ZONE and COM terminals. An alarm will be generated when the
circuit is opened or shorted. If the zone is programmed as a Fire zone, an open circuit will be
reported as a Fire Trouble, and a short circuit will be reported as a Fire Alarm.
NOTE: The valid EOL value is 5600 Ohms (5.6K) +/- 20% (4480-6720)
ON
Double End-of-Line Resistors. All zones will use Double-End-of-Line resistors, except Standard Fire,
Delayed Fire, Supervisory, and LINKS Answer zone types. These zones must be connected using the
EOL resistor. Double EOL resistors enables detection of zone faults and tampers.
NOTE: Please see Wiring Diagram on page ii of this manual.
OFF

Periodic Test Transmission Exception
Description
ON
Periodic Test Transmission Exception Enabled. With this feature enabled, the panel will not send
a test transmission if there has been a transmission sent to the receiver within the programmed time.
Test Transmission Exception allows any communicable event to reset the test transmission cycle,

Transmissions
If an event is communicated, the Test Tx counter is reset, ensuring that a Test Tx event will not occur
for an entire cycle from that point, instead of from the last Test Transmission sent. An example is
given below with test transmission set for every 3 days. This ensures that a transmission is sent every
3 days to test communications, however, if an event has already been sent in the last 3 days, a Test
Transmission is not required. If the event was sent via landline, the landline Test Tx cycle is reset. If

label) when it is violated if Door Chime is programmed.
This feature is available when ESCORT5580 v3.00, and the PC5936 v1.00 are used. This feature
enables the Door Chime to verbally annunciate the Zone that has been violated instead of a series of
beeps, If the Verbal Chime Feature is enabled, whenever a zone with the Chime attribute enabled is
violated, a series of beeps will sound and the system will verbally prompt Zone X. When the zone
is restored, the system will sound a series of beeps. For example, if label is programmed for the above
Zone, the system will verbally annunciate (after the beeps) South Bedroom Window. See associated Installation Manuals
OFF
Verbal Door Chime is Disabled. The system will only annunciate a series of beeps whenever a zone
programmed for Chime is either violated or restored. This option is defaulted OFF.
ON
Verbal Alarm is Enabled. The system will verbally annunciate audible zone alarms via their zone
number (or programmed label) in conjunction with the Bell Outputs.
This feature is available when the ESCORT5580 v3.00 and PC5936 v1.00) are used. This feature
enables verbal annunciation of alarm conditions on the system. When an audible non-fire zone goes
into alarm with this feature is enabled, the PC5020 will sound the alarm condition via the Bell Outputs, but every 15 seconds (as programmed in the Alarm Tone Period Section [178]) it will silence
the bell outputs and the PC5936 speakers will verbally annunciate the alarm condition Alarm Zone

This feature requires two or more trips on a zone(s) specified as cross zones within a specified time
before starting an alarm sequence. See Section [101],Option 9, Pg 33.
When a zone with the Cross Zone Attribute Enabled is violated, nothing occurs on the local premises
(except Entry Delay, if applicable) and the Cross Zone Timer commences. If another Zone with the
Cross Zone attribute enabled is violated before the timer expires, the panel will transmit the first
alarm signal, a Cross Zone event , followed by the second zone alarm, and begins the appropriate
local alarm sequence. If no other zones are violated before the timer the expires, no alarm sequence
occurs and an Alarm Not Verified event is logged. If the Double Hit Feature is enabled (Section [017],
Option 4), the panel will react on two violations of the same zone during the Cross Zone Timer (Section [176]) for starting an alarm sequence.
This option is dependent on the programming of the Burglary Verification Options (Section [018],
Option 6). It is not enabled if Police Code is enabled.
This option will not function on zones that do not log alarm events (e.g. While disarmed, Day Zone,
Instant zone, etc.)

NOTE: If a System Event PGM is programmed to follow the Command Output Timer, all attributes must be enabled.
[175] - Auto-arm Postpone Timer

This feature controls the sequence of events after a valid access code is
entered during the Auto-arm Pre-alert. If the Auto-arm Postpone
Timer is programmed as 000, the Auto-arm will be cancelled. If a value
between 001 and 255 is programmed, then the Auto-arm will be
postponed for the corresponding number of minutes and the panel
will resume normal operation. The panel will also log the appropriate
user log for the access code which postponed the arming. When
the postpone time expires, the panel Auto-arm Pre-alert will be re-initiated (unless the partition is armed). The Auto-arm may be postponed
multiple times. If the Auto-arm is postponed, arming or disarming the
panel will not affect the postpone sequence.

If the Police Code Feature is being used = the first zone alarm will
immediately transmit. If a second zone alarm occurs in the time
period (minutes) programmed in this section, the panel will log
and transmit the Police Code event. If the second zone alarm
26
Programming Sections: 5.5 Partition & Zone Programming
occurs after this timer expires, the Police Code will not be logged
or transmitted, and the timer will restart.
If the new Cross Zone Attribute is used = the first zone alarm will
not log or transmit. If a second zone is violated within the Cross
Zone Timers (seconds) duration, the panel will go into the appropriate alarm sequence and will communicate both zone alarms.
No Police Code is sent.
NOTE: If 000 is programmed in this section, either: The Police Code
will transmit for any two different zone alarms during an armed-toarmed period or the new Cross Zoning feature will not work. This is
not a valid entry for Cross Zoning.
NOTE: Option[9], Section [101]-[164] must be enabled for the
Cross Zoning feature to function. Each zone has the ability to individually protect the intended area. Cross Zoning is NOT recommended
for line security installations or on exit/entry zones.

Option 2 in Section [017].
[190] - No Activity Arming Pre-Alert Duration
This is the duration for which the No Activity Arming Pre-alert will
sound when the No-Activity Timer for the partition expires (see Section [191]-[198]). If programmed as 000, the Partition will arm as
soon as its No-Activity timer expires. This feature enables the system
(or partition) to arm if there is no zone activity for a programmed
time period. If the No Activity Arm option for a partition is programmed with a number other than 000, the partition will Auto-Arm
if no activity is detected for the programmed number of minutes.
[191]-[198] - No-Activity Timer (Partition 1-8)
The timer will begin when a delay type zone assigned to the partition
is restored. The timer is stopped if any zone assigned to the partition
is tripped or restored. The timer will restart when a delay type zone is
again restored. When the timer expires, the panel will sound the
buzzers of all keypads assigned to the Partition for the time programmed in Section [190]. If any key is pressed or zone is violated/
restored on that Partition, the Auto-Arm pre-alert will be aborted. For
zone types 04, 05, 06, and 25, restores will not affect No Activity
Arming. A partition begins its Auto-arm sequence when its No-Activity Timer expires. If 000 is programmed in a section, No-Activity Arming for that partition is disabled. Valid entries are 000 - 255 minutes,
with a default of 001.
The system will not arm if it is in OFF normal state.
[199] - Auto-Arming Pre-Alert Time

This section allows programming of the standard Auto-arm Pre-alert
Duration. If auto-arm is postponed this timer will re-start after the
auto-arm postpone timer expires. Valid entries are from 001 - 255
minutes, the default is 005.
NOTE: There is no differentiation between the No-Activity Pre-alert
and the Standard Auto-Arm Pre-alert at a keypad. No Activity Arming and Auto-Arm will log and transmit as a Special Closing.
5.5 Partition & Zone Programming

[201] Partition Selection Mask
This selection allows the programming of which partitions will be
active on the system.
[202]-[265] - Partition Zone Assignments
Partitions and Zone Assignment
A partition is a limited area of the premises which will operate independently of another area of the premises. You can create up to
eight partitions on the Power864 system.
To set up the system for more than one partition, you must turn on
each partition in section [201].
You can assign any zone to any of the partitions. Global Zones are
zones assigned to more than one partition. A global zone will only
be armed when all assigned partitions are armed. The zone will be
disarmed when any assigned partition is disarmed.
By default, zones 1 through 8 are assigned to partition 1. If additional zones are being used, or if the application requires more than
one partition, you must program which zones are assigned to which
partitions. You can do this in programming sections [202] - [265].
NOTE: You can assign any Access Code to work on any of the partitions (see section [Q] [5] Programming Access Codes on page 12).
You can assign keypads to work on either a single partition, or on all
partitions (Global operation). See Section 2 Keypad Assignment.
Each partition can be programmed to report using a different
Account Number.
Some of the Programmable Output options are also selectable by
partition. See Section 5 Programmable Outputs
Partition 1 - 8 Enabled/DisabledSection [201]
Partition 1 Zone AssignmentsSections [202] to [209]
These eight bit toggle sections determines which partitions each
individual zone is assigned to. If a zone is enabled on any partition, it
will be supervised via the panels EOL supervision, and will operate
according to the zone type programmed. If a zone is not assigned to
any partition, it will not be supervised and all activity on the zone will
be ignored by the panel.
5.6 Communicator Programming PWS Sect6

[301]-[304] Communicator - Telephone Numbers
The panel can call 3 different telephone numbers for communication
to central station. The 1st telephone Number is the primary number, the 2nd telephone Number is the secondary number and the
3rd telephone Number will back up the 1st telephone number if
enabled.
NOTE: The 3rd telephone Number will NOT back up the 2nd telephone Number.
If Alternate Dial is enabled the panel will alternate between the 1st
and 3rd telephone numbers when attempting to call the central station. If disabled the panel will only attempt to call the 3rd telephone
number after failing to communicate on the 1st telephone number.
NOTE: For Alternate Dial to work properly the 3rd telephone Number must be both enabled and programmed.
27
Telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will allow you to

add special digits if required. To program the telephone number
enter numbers 0 through 9 as required.
Pressing [#] in these sections from an LED keypad will exit and delete
the rest of the phone number. Pressing [#] in these sections from an
LCD keypad will exit and save the entire phone number up to the
first Hex F.
The following is a list of HEX digits which can also be programmed
and the functions they perform:
HEX (A) - not used
HEX (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone
HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds

NOTE: There is a static delay of 2 seconds before any additional
dial tone search in a phone number.
NOTE: The panel will not attempt to communicate, if no phone
number is programmed. This applies to Phone Numbers 1, 2 and 3.
[304] - Call Waiting Cancel Dialing String
This is a 6 digit Hex entry that is used to disable Call Waiting on a
Call Waiting equipped phone line. This is typically *70 in most areas.
Dialing this string before a phone number will disable Call Waiting
for the duration of the call. If this section is programmed (not FF),
and Section 382, Option 4 is ON, the panel will dial this string in
place of the first digit of the phone number (Sections [301]-[303]).
This only applies to the first attempt that is made to each phone
number.
NOTE: If not all 6 digits are required they should be filled with Hex F.
All 6 digits of this section need to be programmed in order for any
changes to be accepted.
Communicator - Account Codes
The System Account Code will be used by the panel when communicating System events (e.g. Low Battery, Test Transmission). This
account code can be up to six digits in length for the SIA Communications format. Only the SIA reporting format supports six-digit
account codes. All other formats will use the first four digits of the
account code regardless.
NOTE: If the communicator is programmed for the SIA reporting
format, the system will use this account code for all partitions.
There are eight Partition Identifier Codes (or Account Codes) programmable, one for each partition. The Account Code is used by
central station to determine which panel is calling.
If you have programmed the system for more than one partition, you
must program an account code for each active partition. The panel
will report to the central station by partition. For example, if an alarm
occurs on a zone assigned to Partition 1 the panel will report using
Partition 1 account code.
[310] - System Account Code
This is the Account Code used by the panel when communicating
System events (i.e. Low Battery, Test Transmission, etc.).
This account code can be up to six digits in length for the SIA Communications format.
Only SIA supports six digit account codes. If the last two digits of the
account code are FF, the panel will only use the first four digits. All
other formats will use the first four digits of the account code.
The call directions that use this Account Code are System Maintenance (Troubles, Zone Faults, etc.) and System Test Transmissions.
NOTE: SIA will use this account code for all Partitions and System
Events! System events will be identified by Nri0, with Partitions 1-8
using Nri1-8.
[311]-[317] - Partition 1-8 Account Codes
These Account Codes are used by the panel when communicating
events for Partitions 1-8 when using formats other than SIA.
NOTE: All Partition Account Codes are 4 digits in length. Valid
entries are 0000-FFFE.
[320] - [349] Reporting Codes
Communicator - Reporting Codes
Unless you are using Automatic Contact ID or Automatic SIA formats,
reporting codes must be programmed in order for the panel to report
events to the central station.
Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal digits A
through F. To disable a reporting code, program it as FF (default setting) or 00. For a complete description of reporting codes which can
be programmed and lists of automatic Contact ID and SIA format
codes, see Section Appendix A: Reporting Codes on page 43.
[320]-[323] - Alarm Reporting Codes, Zones 1-64
The panel will transmit the Zone Alarm Reporting Code for a zone
when the zone goes into alarm. 24-hour type zones will go into alarm
whether the panel is armed or disarmed and report to the central station. All other zone types will only go into alarm if the panel is armed.
Reporting codes can be one or two digits and can use HEX digits (A
through F). The following is a description of the different reporting
codes that can be programmed and when the events will be reported
to central station.
[324]-[327] Alarm Restoral Reporting Codes, Zones 1-64
If the Restoral on Bell Timeout option is selected the panel will
send the Zone Restoral Reporting Code for the zone when the
alarm output times out AND the zone is secure. If the zone is not
secured when the alarm output times out the panel will send the
restoral immediately after the zone is secured.
If the Restoral on Bell Timeout option is not selected the panel will
immediately send the Zone Restoral Reporting Code when the zone
is secured or when the panel is disarmed, regardless if the alarm output is active or not.
NOTE: 24 Hour type zones will report the restoral immediately after the zone is secured.
[328] - Miscellaneous Alarm Reporting Codes

[350] - Communicator Format Options

Communicator - Reporting Formats
Each central station telephone number of the panel can be programmed to report using any one of the 5 formats available. The following formats are supported: Pulse (10 and 20 BPS), Contact ID,
SIA, Residential Dial and a Pager format. The following is a description of each.
SIA (Level 2)
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly
using frequency shift keying (FSK) rather than pulses. The SIA format
will automatically generate the type of signal being transmitted, such
as Burglary, Fire, Panic etc. The two digit reporting code is used to
identify the zone or access code number.
NOTE: SIA format must be used if Downlook is required.
If the SIA format is selected the panel can be programmed to automatically generate all zone and access code numbers eliminating the
need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled
the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] the
panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FF] the panel will AUTOMATICALLY generate the
zone or access code number.
3. Bypassed zones will always be identified when partial closing the
system.
The Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to disable
reporting of events such as Openings/Closings. Also, if all the Opening/Closing reporting codes were programmed as [00] the panel
would not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is disabled
the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] or [FF]
the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FE] the panel will send the programmed reporting
code.
3. Bypassed zones will not be identified when partial closing the
system.
NOTE: Do not program the second telephone number for the SIA
reporting code format (Section [360]) if the Automatic Reporting
Code option is enabled (Section [381]).
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault
events will not be identified when Programmed SIA is used.

Residential Dial
If Residential Dial is programmed and an event that is programmed
to communicate occurs, the panel will seize the line and dial the
appropriate telephone number(s). Once the dialing is complete, the
panel will emit an ID tone and wait for a handshake (press a 1, 2, 4,
5, 7, 8, 0, or # key from any telephone). It will wait for this handshake for the duration of Post Dial Wait for Handshake timer.
Once the panel receives the handshake, it will emit an alarm tone
over the telephone line for 20 seconds. If several alarms occur at the
same time, only one call will be made to each telephone number the
panel is programmed to call.
NOTE: The Residential Dial format will not work over the
LINKS1000.
Communicator Call Direction Options. . . . . . Section [361] to [368]
Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either telephone number can
be programmed for Pager Format. If an event occurs and the Communicator Call Direction options direct the call to a telephone number
with the Pager Format selected the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make it work
properly.The following is a list of Hex digits and what function they
perform:
Hex [A] - not used
Hex [B] - simulates the [] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [F] - end of telephone number marker
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After dialing the
digits in the telephone number the panel will send the account number and reporting code followed by the [#] key (Hex [C]).
There is no ringback when using Pager Format. The panel has no
way of confirming if the pager was called successfully; a failure to
communicate trouble will only be generated once the maximum
number of attempts has been reached.
NOTE: The Pager Format cannot be used with the LINKS1000 cellular communicator.
NOTE: Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using Pager
Format. In most cases, the digit C will be interpreted as a [#], which
will terminate the page before it has finished.
NOTE: If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt to page
again. It will make the maximum number of attempts programmed
in section [165].
Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager format.
NOTE: When using Pager format, you must program two hex digit
Es at the end of the telephone number.
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will communicate
using the following:
3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
10 or 20 bits per second
non-extended
The digit 0 will send no pulses and is used as a filler.When programming account numbers enter four digits. When programming a three
digit account number the fourth digit must be programmed as a
plain 0 which will act as a filler digit.
If an account number has a 0 in it, substitute a HEX digit A for the
0. Examples:
3 digit account number [123]- program [1230]
3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
When programming reporting codes two digits must be entered. If

one digit reporting codes are to be used the second digit must be
programmed as a 0. If a 0 is to be transmitted substitute a HEX
digit A for the 0. Examples:
1 digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
2 digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the reporting
code for the event as [00] or [FF].
NOTE: This communication format cannot be selected if Downlook
is required.
Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information
quickly using tones rather than pulses. In addition to sending information more quickly the format also allows more information to be
sent. For example, rather than reporting an alarm zone 1 the Contact
ID format can also report the type of alarm, such as Entry/Exit alarm
zone 1.
If Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes is selected, the
panel will automatically generate a reporting code for each event.
These identifiers are listed in Appendix A. If the Automatic Contact
ID option is not selected, reporting codes must be programmed. The
2-digit entry determines the type of alarm. The panel will automatically generate all other information, including the zone number.
NOTE: If the Automatic Contact ID option is selected, the panel will
automatically generate all zone and access code numbers, eliminating the need to program these items.
NOTE: Regardless of the zone type programmed, the panel will
report all zones as burglary zones when Automatic Contact ID is
selected. If you need to report other zone types, you must use Programmed Contact ID reporting codes.
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault
events will not be identified when Programmed Contact ID is used.
If the Contact ID uses Automatic Reporting Codes option is
enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
If an events reporting code is programmed as [00], the panel will
not attempt to call the central station.
If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically generate the zone
or access code number. See Appendix A for a list of the codes
which will be transmitted.
If the Contact ID uses Programmed Reporting Codes option is
enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
If an events reporting code is programmed as [00] or [FF], the
panel will not attempt to call central station.
If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from
[01] to [FE], the panel will send the programmed reporting code.
Account numbers must be four digits.
If the digit 0 is in the account number substitute the HEX digit
A for the 0.
All reporting codes must be two digits.
If the digit 0 is in the reporting code substitute the HEX digit A
for the 0.
To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
NOTE: This communication format cannot be selected if Downlook
is required.

SIA - This format uses 300 Baud FSK as the communication
media. The Account Code can be 4 or 6 hexadecimal digits in
length, All reporting codes must be 2 digits in length. The SIA
format will transmit a 4 (or 6) digit account code, a 2 digit identifier code and a 2 digit reporting code. The 2 digit identifier is pre
programmed by the panel.
Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When the TLM Enable option is selected, the panel will supervise
the telephone line and will indicate a trouble condition if the telephone line is disconnected.
If the TLM Enable option is ON, the panel will check the telephone
line every 10 seconds. If the telephone line voltage is below 3V for
the number of checks programmed in the TLM Trouble Delay section, the panel will report a TLM trouble. The default number of
checks is 3. Enter a number from (000) to (255) in the TLM Trouble

Delay section to change the number of checks before the TLM trouble is reported. Programming a delay means that a momentary interruption of the telephone line will not cause a trouble condition.
If the TLM Trouble Beeps When Armed option is enabled, the
panel will indicate a TLM trouble at the keypad while the system is
armed. To activate the bell output in the case of a TLM trouble while
the system is armed, the TLM Audible (Bell) When Armed option
must be selected.
When the trouble condition is restored, the panel can send a TLM
Restoral reporting code. Any events which occur while the telephone line is down will also be communicated.
If the LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator, or LINKS2X50 is being
used, the panel can be programmed to report a TLM Trouble
Reporting Code.
[351]-[376] - Communicator Call Directions
For events from each Call Direction group the control panel can call 2
different phone numbers and use the LINKS as backup or as a redundant communicator for one or both numbers. The Third phone number can only be used as a backup or alternate of the first.
Each report falls under one of the following 5 Groups:
1. Partition X Alarms & Restores
2. Partition X Openings & Closings
3. Partition X Tampers & Restores
4. System Maintenance Alarms & Restores
5. System Test Transmissions
Each group can be assigned to the following Call Directions
1. Option 1 - 1st Telephone Number (and 3rd Telephone Number if
enabled for Alternate or Backup)
2. Option 2 - 2nd Telephone Number
3. Option 3 - 1st Telephone Number Via LINKS (and 3rd Telephone
Number if enabled for Alternate or Backup)
4. Option 4 - 2nd Telephone Number Via LINKS
5. Option 5 - Alternate Communicator. This allows the panel to
have control of what types of events the LINKS2X50 products will
communicate. This Call Direction is enabled at default.
[377] - COMMUNICATION VARIABLES

Swinger Shutdown (Alarms & Restores)
This value defines the number of attempts (alarm and restore pairs) per zone that the communicator will make before it shuts down for that zone (swinger
shutdown). Program 001 or 002 in this entry. When programmed as 000, the communicator will shut down after 2 Alarm/Restore pairs.
Different limits can be programmed for Zone Alarms, Zone Tampers and Maintenance signals. After the panel has communicated the programmed number
of transmissions for an event it will no longer report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset. For example, the swinger shutdown limit for Zone Alarms is
set to [001]. The panel will not send more than 1 alarm signal for each zone with a swinger attribute until the swinger shutdown is reset.
The Bell output will not be activated for alarms on zones that have exceeded the limit of alarms set in the Swinger Shutdown counter. Swinger shutdown on
global zones will log once to the System Area.
NOTE: Swinger Shutdown will reset on all partitions when any partition on the system is armed, or every day at midnight. Once reset,
the panel will again communicate normally
NOTE: The Bell and Event Buffer can follow Swinger Shutdown if enabled.
Swinger Shutdown (Tampers & Restores)
This value defines the number of times the same system Tamper type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Valid entries are 000 to 014.
Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restores)
This value defines the number of times the same system Maintenance (Trouble) type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Fire Troubles will follow the
Maintenance Swinger Shutdown Variable. Swinger Shutdown is enabled on Zone Types [01]-[06] and [25] on all panels by default, and on all definitions. Valid
entries are 000 to 014.
Communication Delay (Seconds)
This value defines the delay before transmission. The delay is for zones which have the Transmission Delay attribute enabled. Program a time from 015 to 045
seconds. This communications transmission delay will be by partition. Each partition will share the same active timer, so if the delay is already active due to an
alarm on a different partition, then any new activity on yet another partition will not restart the communications delay timer.
NOTE: If global zones are used with communications delay, then to stop all alarms from being sent when the communications delay expires, access codes must
be entered on all partitions that went in alarm from that global zone.
NOTE: If transmission delay starts on one partition, other partitions cannot cancel it. If transmission delay is active on more than one partition, and a code is
entered on one of them, that partitions transmission delay will be cancelled.
NOTE: For UL installations the entry delay plus communication delay cannot exceed 60 seconds.
NOTE: Refer to Zone Attributes Section [101]-[164], option [7]
AC Failure Communication Delay (Minutes/Hours)
This value determines the delay before an AC FAILURE or AC RESTORE is reported. The AC failure or restore is still displayed immediately. Valid entries are from
000 to 255 minutes/hours.
NOTE: Selection of minutes or hours for the delay is set in section [382], Option 6, Pg 48.
NOTE: If AC Failure Communications Delay is programmed as 000, the AC Failure Trouble reporting code will be sent immediately.
32
[377] - COMMUNICATION VARIABLES

TLM Trouble Delay
The number of valid checks (10 second interval) required before a Telephone Line trouble is generated is programmed here. Valid entries are 000-255 for trouble
annunciation and transmission (LINKS) delays of 10 to 2550 Seconds (42.5 Minutes).
Test Transmission Cycle (Land Line)
NOTE: This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the Land Line. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. Whether this interval is in minutes or days
is determined on Section [702], Option 3.
Test Transmission Cycle (LINKS1000)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the LINKS1000. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. The period is in days or hours. This applies to
Land-line and LINKS Test Transmissions, and for minutes and hours for the Land-line (LINKS only uses Hours).
NOTE: When a new value is programmed (locally or remotely), the panel will transmit a Test transmission when the next Test Transmission Time is reached. The
panel will then load in the new value, and continue the cycle based on this new value. This informs the Installer/Central to expect the next Test Transmission
when the cycle has been changed.
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay (Days)
When a zone reports a low battery condition, the trouble condition will be indicated immediately on the keypad, but the transmission to the monitoring station
will be delayed by the number of days programmed in this section. If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the low battery condition will be transmitted. The Low Battery Restore transmission is not delayed.
NOTE: The panel will not send additional low battery events until the first low battery trouble is restored.
Delinquency Transmission Delay
The value in this section determines the period of time that the Delinquency Event will be postponed until it is logged to the Event Buffer and transmitted.
Whether this value is in hours or days is determined if Delinquency is for Activity (hours) or Closing (days) as specified in Section [380] Option 8.
The timer start under the following conditions:
When the system is armed in the Stay mode

When the system is disarmed
When a zone is violated and restored while the system is disarmed/Stay armed (Interior, Interior Delay, Interior Stay/Away, or Delay Stay/Away
zones only).
The activity delinquency timer will be ignored when the system is armed in the Away mode. Zones that are bypassed in the [*][1] Bypass menu will
not reset the timer.
If the system is programmed to monitor Closing Delinquency, the timer will be programmed in days. The timer will restart every time the system is disarmed.
Activity/Closing DelinquencySection [380], option [8].
Communications Cancel Window
After TX Delay expires and a zone alarm has been transmitted, the Cancel window will begin. If an access code is entered during this window, a Communications Cancel reporting code will be communicated. If the window expires without an access code entered or a code is entered after the window, no Opening
After Alarm log or communication will occur. The system keypads will provide an audible confirmation that the opening after alarm log was successfully communicated (5 quick beeps).
[378] - Test Transmission Time of Day

Program the time of the test transmission in this section. Enter a 4digit time using the 24 hour clock format (HH:MM). Valid entries are
from 00 to 23 for the hours (HH) and 00 to 59 for the minutes (MM).
To disable the test transmission, enter [9999] in this section.

NOTE: Do NOT enter [9999] for Cental & Remote Fire applications.

[390]-[393] LINKS Preambles

Downloading can be performed through the LINKS1000 cellular
communicator if the telephone line is disconnected. If using the
LINKS1000 with Call Back, you need to program the LINKS1000 Preamble with the downloading telephone number in order for the
panel to call the computer correctly.
LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator
The LINKS1000 cellular communicator can be used three different
ways: as the sole communicator for the panel, as a back up for either
or both telephone numbers, or as a redundant back up to the land
line communicator (the panel will call both the land line and via the
LINKS1000). A LINKS1000 Preamble is programmable for each telephone number in the event that the land line number is local but the
LINKS1000 is required to dial an exchange. When programming a
LINKS1000 Preamble, all unused digits must be programmed with a
hex decimal F.
Sole Communicator
The panel can be programmed to report only using the LINKS1000
cellular communicator when an event occurs. To program this select
only the LINKS1000 for the Communicator Call Direction Options
for the event. In addition the Call LINKS1000 as well as Land Line
option must also be enabled. When the selected event occurs the
panel will only attempt to call central station using the LINKS1000.
NOTE: If a LINKS1000-only event fails to communicate, the
LINKS1000 must successfully communicate a LINKS1000-only event
in order for the FTC trouble to clear.
Backup Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the LINKS1000 cellular
communicator if the panel is having difficulty communicating an
event using the land line. To program this select the telephone number and LINKS1000 options for the Communicator Call Direction
Options for the event. The LINKS1000 is Backup of Land Lines option
must also be selected.
When used as a backup communicator the panel will attempt to call
the central station in the following manner:
the panel will try to call using land lines - if unsuccessful the
panel will try to call using the LINKS1000
if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the land lines
if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the LINKS1000
This process will continue until the panel has successfully communicated with the central station or the Maximum Dialing Attempts
has been reached.
35
Redundant Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the land line and the
LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event occurs. To program
this select both the telephone number and the LINKS1000 options
for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the event. In
addition the Call LINKS1000 as well as Land Line option must be
selected. The panel will call the LINKS1000 and then call the land line
when reporting the selected event.
LINKS1000 Special Preamble
In some areas of North America, dialing #DAT or *DATA reduces the
cellular billing increment. The LINKS1000 Special Preamble (section [393]), allows the use of [*] and [#] characters for the programming of #DAT and *DATA. The LINKS1000 Special Preamble is sent
BEFORE the Preamble programmed in Sections [390] to [392]. Example: [Special Preamble][Regular Preamble][Telephone Number]
NOTE: If this Special Preamble is programmed, it will be inserted
before the Regular Preamble of ALL telephone numbers. Hex digits D
and E are not supported for Preamble programming. If Busy Tone
Detection is enabled, the LINKS1000 must be tested to ensure full
operation.
Refer to the LINKS1000 Installation Manual for more information
and connection diagrams.

Downloading
Downloading allows programming of the entire control panel via a
computer, modem and telephone line. All functions and features,
changes and status, such as trouble conditions and open zones can
be viewed or programmed by downloading.
NOTE: When power is applied to the panel, a 6 hour downloading
window can be enabled. This will allow you to perform downloading
without having to do any keypad programming.
NOTE: When an event occurs that the system is programmed to
communicate to the central station, the panel will disconnect from
the downloading computer and report the event. This will happen
for all events except test transmissions.
If the Answering Machine/Double Call option is enabled (or during the first 6 hours after power up) the panel will answer incoming
calls for downloading provided the following conditions occur:
1. The panel hears one or two rings then misses a ring.
2. At this point the panel will start a timer.
3. If the panel hears another ring before the Answering Machine
Double Call Timer expires it will answer on the first ring of the
second call.
The panel will immediately go on line and begin the download process unless the Call Back option is enabled. If enabled, the panel and
computer will both hang up. The panel will then call the Download
Computer Telephone Number and wait for the computer to
answer. Once the computer answers downloading will begin.
If the User Enabled DLS Window option is ON, the user can activate the downloading feature by entering [*][6][Master Code][5].
Six hours after power up, the panel will not answer incoming calls
unless the Answering Machine/Double Call option is enabled, or
the Number of Rings is programmed to be more than [0].

Programmable Output Programming

PWS Sect 8
[501]-[515] - Programmable Output Attributes

PGM output attributes and output type must be programmed for
each PGM output. PGM output options [09] System Trouble and
[10] Latched System Event have a unique set of attributes listed
below the description of each output type.
PGM attributes return to their default settings when PGM output
options are changed . See the programming worksheets for a list of
the default settings for each PGM output type.
CAUTION: Select the normal and active states of each PGM output
to ensure that undesirable output states do not occur after a loss and
restore of AC power.
If you program more than one PGM output as the same output type
(e.g. If PGM 1 and PGM 2 are both programmed as [19] Command
Output 1), the settings for output attributes [1], [2] and [5] must be
the same. This does not apply to outputs programmed as types [09]
and [10].
NOTE: Attribute [3] must be ON for PGM output option [16].

5.9 International Programming PWS Sect 9

[700] - Automatic Clock Adjust
The value entered here adds or subtracts seconds at the end of each
day to compensate for Crystal/Ceramic Resonator inaccuracies. Valid
entries are 00-99 with 60 seconds being the default minute. To

determine the value to be programmed in this section perform the
following:
Monitor the time lost by the panel over a period of time.
Calculate the average amount of time per day that the panel
gains or loses.
Add or Subtract this value (seconds) from 60 and enter the value.
Example: Panel loses an average of 9 seconds per day.
Instead of loading 60 seconds for the last minute of each day, program the panel to load 51 seconds with the use of Section [700]; this

[904] - Module Placement Test

Module Selection
Upon entering Section [904], a 2 digit entry will be required to select
the zone number to be tested. Valid entries are 01-32 for Zones 0132 respectively. On an LCD Keypad, there are two ways to make a
zone selection: direct entry of 01-32, or by scrolling across to
the description of the module (i.e. Zone 1). If a module is selected
that is not enrolled, an error tone will sound.
Placement Indication
After the zone is selected, the alarm contacts must be opened. This
will register a signal strength value that will be indicated and enunciated on all keypads, as well as on the Bell. The system will remain in
this test mode until [#] is pressed or Installers timeout (20 minutes).
GOOD signal will be indicated by Light 1 on an LED keypad or the
word GOOD on an LCD keypad. It will be enunciated on the Keypad by 1 beep and on the Bell by 1 Squawk.
FAIR signal will be indicated by Light 2 on an LED keypad or the
word FAIR on an LCD keypad. It will be enunciated on the Keypad by 2 beep and on the Bell by 2 Squawk.
BAD signal will be indicated by Light 3 on an LED keypad or the
word BAD on an LCD keypad. It will be enunciated on the Keypad by 3 beep and on the Bell by 3 Squawk.
Non-Enrolled zone will be annunciated on the Keypad by an error
tone.
[906] - Local Downlook Remote Trigger
While in this section, either 1 or 2 may be pressed to initiate Downlook to either Phone Number 1 or 2, respectively. The panel will communicate the System Test event, log Downlook Remote Trigger,
and transmit the script found in the PC5108L for Remote Trigger.
[990][Installer Code] - Installer Lockout Enable
If enabled, the panel will give a distinctive audible indication on
power up (the phone line relay will click 10 times). This feature will
have no effect on a Software Default (all programming will return to
the factory defaults). However, if a Hardware default is attempted
while lockout is enabled, the default will not occur, and the fraudulent attempt will be logged to the event buffer.
Installer Lockout
If Installer Lockout is selected a hardware default cannot be performed. If a software default is performed all programming will
restore to factory default.
When Installer Lockout Disable is selected the panel will restore all
programming to factory defaults if a hardware or software default is
performed on the main control panel.
To enable Installer Lockout perform the following:
1.Enter Installer Programming.
2.To enable Installer Lockout, enter section [990]

Protection of the Control Unit

The local control and the local power supply must be protected by one of the
following ways:
The control unit and audible alarm device must be in a protected area which
is armed 24 hours a day.
Each partition shall arm the area protecting the control unit and the audible
alarm device power supply. This may require duplicate protection armed by
each partition. Access to this protected area, without causing an alarm, will
require that all partitions be disarmed.
In all cases described above, the protected area for the control unit must be
programmed as not bypassable.
Casual Users
The installer should caution the user(s) to not give system information to casual

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital
Security Controls Ltd. could void your authority to use this equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Re-orient the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC useful: How to
Identify and Resolve Radio/Television Interference Problems. This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402,
Stock # 004-000-00345-4.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the side of
this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC
registration number of this equipment.
Notification to Telephone Company The customer shall notify the telephone company of the particular line to which the connection will be
made, and provide the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence of the protective circuit.
FCC Registration Number: F53CAN-34330-AL-E
Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1B
USOC Jack: RJ31X
Telephone Connection Requirements Except for the telephone company
provided ringers, all connections to the telephone network shall be made
through standard plugs and telephone company provided jacks, or equivalent, in such a manner as to allow for easy, immediate disconnection of the terminal equipment. Standard jacks shall be so arranged that, if the plug
connected thereto is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the customers premises which remains connected to the telephone
network shall occur by reason of such withdrawal.
Incidence of Harm Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be
required; however, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service if such action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company shall promptly notify the customer and will be given the
opportunity to correct the situation.
Additional Telephone Company Information The security control panel
must be properly connected to the telephone line with a USOC RJ-31X telephone jack.
The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to
party lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Interconnect rules may vary from state to state.
Changes in Telephone Company Equipment or Facilities The telephone
company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required and
proper in its business. Should any such changes render the customers terminal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be given adequate notice to the effect modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) The REN is useful to determine the
quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have
all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may
connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company.
Equipment Maintenance Facility If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, contact the facility indicated below for information on
obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

WARNING
Please Read Carefully
Not e to Instal lers

This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
System Fail ur es
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however,
involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of these reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation
should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks
and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is
possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by
moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent
the proper operation of the system.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate
power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail.
Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a
device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while
it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations
which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred,
immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This systems wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal
conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the
batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance
will keep the system in good operating condition.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or
near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is
important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know
how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke
may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness
can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional
or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters,
radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if
there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may
be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired
person.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time.
Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may
be difficult to detect.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system
is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
