The summary of programme options
is also a good troubleshooting tool.
For example, if you are having diffi-
culty getting the panel to send a test
transmission, look this feature up in
the Installation Manual. Refer to the
summary and make sure you have
programmed all the required informa-
tion. If you think you missed an item,
the summary will tell you exactly what
programming section you need to
look at to check the item.
The other book named Instruction
Manual should be given to the client
or on-site manager.

are the options that you need to
programme in order to have the
features work appropriately.
Now look at page 27. This is the
beginning of the Programming
Worksheets.
In the Programming Worksheets
beside every programme item is a
section/page number reference.
These numbers relate to sections in
the Installation Manual.
For example, you may not be sure
what “TLM Enable” means in pro-
gramming section 15. Beside the
option number is a reference number
(in this case 5.12) and also a page
number (22). If you turn to page 22
and locate section 5.12, you will see
that TLM stands for Telephone Line
Monitoring. There are several options
that require programming for the
telephone line monitor feature. These
are summarised at the end of the
description and include which section
the option can be programmed in.

Installation
Installing the Classic PC1565
Control Panel
The following steps should be carried
out in the order described below. This
will help reduce the overall installation
time.
Before carrying out any installation
work, it is always advisable to walk the
site and check the proposed location
of all the equipment you are intending
to install.
1. Run all cables from the location
of the detectors or modules back
to the main control panel or zone
expander units.
2. Insert the five nylon studs through
the back of the steel cabinet and
mount the cabinet on the wall. Fit
the control panel to the wall.
Insert the PCB onto the nylon
studs until it locks into place.
Connect the two yellow leads
from the transformer into the AC–
in terminals on the PCB.
3. Fit the remote keypad, detectors
and internal & external sounders
in the areas described on the
specification.
4. Connect the mains cable to the
unswitched fuse spur and to the
control panel. DO NOT POWER

How to use the Installation Manual
included with this panel:
The Installation Manual that accom-
panies the Classic PC1565 may
appear daunting to the first time user.
However, once you understand their
structure and how to find your way
through them, you’ll wonder what all
the fuss was about!
You will find inside the control panel
two manuals: one named Installation
Manual, one named Instruction
Manual.
Please take out the Installation
Manual.
Look at the Installation Manual;
turning the first page, you should see
the Table of Contents. In the Table of
Contents, you will see that the manual
is broken up into five major sections.
Section 1 is the basic overview of the
panel specifications including AUX,
Bell and PGM output current ratings,
battery and transformer requirements
and a quick description of some of
the more common features. Section 1

Wiring Keybus
The Keybus wiring is the most impor-
tant part of the installation process of
the Classic PC1565 and its associated
modules. The Keybus is a simple 4-
wire connection between the main
control panel and all modules con-
nected to it. Do not use the Keybus
cable for connection to any other
devices: e.g., do not try to repower
detectors or devices using the extra
cores in a multi core cable. The
Keybus is coloured RED, BLACK,
YELLOW, GREEN. All units can be
connected to the Keybus in a star or
daisy chain formation. All modules
have clearly marked terminal blocks
that identify the Keybus connection.
The Keybus must be run in a mini-
mum of 22- gauge, non shielded wire
(use shielded wire for intercom
stations only). Any module can be
connected anywhere to the Keybus
provided it is not more than 305
meters from the control panel.

This feature is a false alarm feature and
is used to control the number of times
a signal is transmitted to the central
station in a given set condition. This is
zone-linked and defaulted to three
transmissions per zone. What this
means is that if a zone goes faulty and
keeps triggering the communicator, the
transmission will only be sent a maxi-
mum of three times.

Wiring PIRs
Although zones can be wired as
double end of line (DEOL), single end
of line (SEOL) or normally closed, we
recommend DEOL for all intrusion
sensors and contacts. The panel
actually comes defaulted as SEOL.
DEOL means that two 5.6K resistors
are installed at the sensor head as
shown in the diagram below. These
resistors are included with the panel.
The resistors measure a loss in
current caused by a tamper or other
fault condition. The result is greater
integrity and reduced wiring require-
ments. (4 core instead of 6)
Always repower the panel when
changing zone configurations from
DEOL to SEOL or NC loops. This will
involve disconnecting the battery and
AC from the control panel.
Remember, on repower, always enable
supervision and set the time and date.

Basic Programming
Be sure to record your new Master
Code on the “System Information”
page in this booklet. NOTE: We
recommend that the factory default
or obvious codes such as [1111] or
[1234] not be used.
Additional Codes
Up to 32 additional access codes (01
through 32) may be programmed.
To program a new code:
Enter [✱][5][Master Code][code
number 01 to 32][new access code].
The code number is a double digit
from 01 to 32. Access codes must be
four digits unless otherwise indicated
by your installer. Enter digits 0
through 9 only. Press [#] to return to
the Ready state.
If an access code already exists for the
code number you have selected, it will
be replaced by the new code. Be sure
to record your new code(s) on the
“System Information” page in this
book.
To erase a code:
Enter [✱][5][Master Code][code

Wiring Fire Detectors
The diagram below shows how smoke
detectors should be connected to the
Classic PC1565 control panel.
Always check the manufacturer’s
instructions for the detector.
NOTE: Any zone which is pro-
grammed as fire will automatically be
configured as SEOL. Therefore only 1
resistor needs to be installed and the
contact should be normally open.

replaced by the number, indicating
the option is now “ON”. Press [2]
again and the number is replaced with
a dash, indicating the option is now
“OFF”.
Go through each of the options in the
section and determine if the option
should be “ON” or “OFF”. Once all
the options are selected correctly,
press the [#] key.
The keypad again displays “Enter
Section” followed by the three dashes.
To exit from engineer mode simply
press the [#] once more and the
keypad will revert to normal mode.

Basic Programming
Once you press [#] to exit section
005, the keypad will again display
“Enter Section” followed by three
dashes.
If you want to make changes to
another section, then enter that new
section number. If you want to exit
engineering mode, simply press [#]
once more and the keypad will revert
to normal mode.
Let’s look at changing the default
setting of single end of line resistors
to our recommended double end of
line resistors.
Open the Installation Manual to page
29/30, and find section 013, First
System Option Code; section 013 is a
toggle option section. Section 013 will
be displayed on the LCD keypad as 2
lines, the first line displays “Toggle
Option” and the second line displays
which options are toggled “ON” or
“OFF”. If a number appears, that
option is “ON”. If a dash is displayed it
means that option is “OFF”. If you are
using the LED keypad this will be
illustrated by the zone LEDs “ON” or
“OFF”. We see that option 2 is “OFF”
because we see a dash, not a number.
Looking at section 013 in the
worksheets we see option 2 “OFF” in
section 013. This means that the
panel is set up for single end of line
resistors. If the option were “ON”, the
number 2 would appear and the panel
would be set for double end of line
resistors.

Now let’s look at how to change some
of the default settings listed on the
previous page. If you are using the
Classic PC1565 as a “bells only”
system, this could be the only pro-
gramming you need to do.
For example, let’s look at changing
the entry delay from default 30 sec-
onds to 45 seconds. Entry delay is in
section 005, “System Times”, on
page 29 of the Installation Manual.
All entries in section 005 require 3
digits.
To get into engineering programming
mode you must press [*][8] followed
by your engineering code. At default
this will be [5555]. At this point the
keypad will display “Enter Section”
followed by three dashes. Enter the
three-digit number of the section you
want to program, in this case [005].
You will see the digits 030 displayed
indicating the default time of 30
seconds. Enter [045] for the new entry
delay time. If this is the only change
you want in section 005, you can now
press [#] to exit this section and save
the change. If you want to make
another change, (“Exit Delay”, for
example), then use the arrow keys
until 120 is displayed (the default
setting).

Initial Start Up
Before turning on the mains power,
make sure that all electrical connec-
tions are completed and all devices
are connected correctly to the main
PCB. The two YELLOW leads on the
transformer should be securely
terminated in the two terminals
marked AC.
Before turning ON the mains power,
ensure you have the battery con-
nected to the control panel, then
insert the fuse into the terminal block
using the holder provided.
The control panel keypad will beep on
power up and the LCD version shows
the software version on the screen.
This is normal.
The Keybus voltage should read 12.0
volts to 13.8 volts in the normal state.
If a low Keybus error occurs, the
reading should be around 11.0 volts
to 11.5 volts. A critical condition on
the Keybus is anything between 10.0
volts and 10.3 volts. This will result in
a shutdown.
If you have a Keybus problem, you
should carry out the following: check
the connections on all Keybus-
connected devices; check the cable
run distance; check that cable type is
