WARNING Please Read Carefully

Note to Installers

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 Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, how-

ever, 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:

nInadequate 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.

nCriminal 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.

nAccess 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.

nPower 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 fluctua-

tions 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.

nFailure of Replaceable Batteries

This system’s 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.

nCompromise 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.

nSystem 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.

nSmoke 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.

nMotion Detectors

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installa-

tion 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 effective-

ness 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.

nWarning 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.

nTelephone 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.

nInsufficient 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.

nComponent 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.

nInadequate 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, con-

soles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.

nSecurity 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.

FEATURES

Keypad Programming

The PC2585 comes with a default program so it is

operational with a minimum of programming. It is

completely programmable from the keypad. The panel

usesEEPROMmemorysothatallinformationisretained

even if the panel loses both AC and battery power.

Multiple Level Static/Lightning

Protection

The PC2585 has been carefully designed and tested to

provide reliable service. It is built to take static and

lightning induced surges and keep on working. Multiple

level surge filters are on all zone inputs, the power

supply, the keypad connections, the bell output, the

auxiliary power supply and the telephone interface. A

special“ZAP-TRAC”circuitboardconfigurationcatches

high voltage impulses right at the wiring terminals.

Protective ground planes surround sensitive areas

preventing the spread of damaging voltage surges.

Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV’s) are placed in all the

critical areas to further reduce impulses to safe levels.

“Watchdog Monitor” Circuit

Even when all precautions are taken so that voltage

surges do not cause damage to the control panel, it is

possible to cause temporary disruption to the operation

of the microprocessor causing it to lose track of the

program sequence. The PC2585 is equipped with an

external “Watchdog Monitor” circuit which continually

checks the microprocessor program execution.

System Supervision Features

ThePC2585continuouslymonitorsanumberofpossible

trouble conditions including:

•Double end-of-line resistor zone supervision to allow

for both tamper and alarm detection

•An active battery supervision circuit that periodically

tests the battery under load.

•Keypad Tamper Supervision (with LED625T or

LCD600T keypads)

•A loss of the AC power supply.

•A supervised circuit trouble condition.

•A telephone line monitoring circuit.

•A bell circuit failure indicates open circuit or fuse

failure.

•A test code feature which transmits a communicator

test code to the monitoring station at a selected time

during the day. The test code can be sent at intervals

from 1 to 99 days. It can also be sent every hour on the

hour, or every 15 minutes.

•A bell/siren/communicator test feature which can be

activated from the keypad.

•TelephoneLineMonitoring(TLM)restoraltransmission.

•128-event Event Buffer

Zones Bypassed During Programming

•After entering the Installer‘s Programming Mode, all

This feature allows all zone wiring to be completed

before the zones are activated.

Advanced Features

The PC2585 has many advanced features. Features

which provide the security system design flexibility and

selling advantage necessary to win those demanding

jobs and make them profitable.

Some of these features include:

•EEPROM memory retains all data even on complete

AC and battery failure. Panel powers up in last armed

or disarmed state before power loss.

•All programmable zones may be selected as one of 10

differenttypesincluding;delay,auxiliarydelay,instant,

interior, interior delay, interior with Home Away, delay

with Home Away, and 3 types of 24-hour emergency

and supervisory circuits.

•Keypad programming of up to 17 Access Codes.

•Zone bypassing from the keypad.

•Individual zone and system function indicators on

keypad.

•2keypadactivatedutilityoutputfunctionsforoperating

INSTALLATION

Bench Testing

The PC2585 contains a factory default program. Any additional programming required can be done through the

keypad. For many applications all that will be required is to enter the telephone number and alarm codes with keypad

entries that are as straight forward as dialing a telephone number. If you need help talk to your DSC equipment

distributor.

The following items are required for bench testing:

•1 Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch,

•1 Single Pole Double Throw Centre-off (SPDT) switch

•2 5600Ωresistors.

Bench Testing Set-up

•One of the outer leads (A) of the SPST switch is connected to the “COM” terminal closest to the zone you are

working on.

•The common lead of the SPST (B) is shorted to the outer lead (D) of the SPDT switch.

•One 5600Ωresistor is connected between the two outer leads of the SPDT switch (D to F).

•The other 5600Ωresistor is connected from the common lead to the outer lead of the SPDT (E to F).

•The common lead of the SPDT switch (E) goes to the zone terminal you are working on.

The normal condition exists when the SPST switch is shorting leads A to B and the SPDT switch is shorting leads

E to F. These are the zone status conditions and switch settings:

•Switch 1 on AB and switch 2 on EF is a restoral condition (5600 Ohms).

•Switch 1 on AB and switch 2 on EE is an Alarm condition (11200 Ohms).

•Switch 1 on BC is a Tamper condition (open).

•Switch 2 on DE is a Tamper condition (short).

Zone Connections for Bench Testing

Connect the four keypad wires to the control panel as shown in the Hook-up Diagram in the back of this manual.

To completely test the PC2585 including the communicator data, it is necessary to connect the panel to a digital

receiver through a telephone line connection or by connecting the telephone terminals on the PC2585 to a digital

communicator test set such as the DSC DTS-1. The DSC DTS-1 digital communicator test set is an inexpensive unit

which can simulate the telephone system dial tone and the receiver hand shake and kiss-off tones as well as display

thedatasentoutbyadigitalcommunicator.Also,theDTS-1hasa“listen-in”featurewhichmakesitidealformonitoring

the transmission between communicator and receiver when the PC2585 is connected to the telephone line.

If you are using a DTS-1, connect the red and green telephone clips to the “A” and “B” terminals and connect the red

and black power clips to the “AUX [+]” and “AUX [-]” terminals on the PC2585. When power is applied to the panel

press the red local-line button on the DTS-1 and observe the display window area. The “local-line” indicator should

be in the local position.

For testing purposes, so that the sound level is not too loud, connect a small buzzer to the “BELL [+]” and

“BELL [-]” terminals to indicate when the panel is in alarm.

Connect a 16.5 VAC, 40 VA transformer to the “AC” terminals. Before plugging in the transformer be sure the circuit

board is not resting on anything metallic which may cause a short.

NOTE: THE PC2585 WILL NOT START UP IF “AC” IS OFF.

Whenthetransformerispluggedinthereshouldbelightsonthekeypadandthebuzzerconnectedtothebellterminals

maygoONfor afewseconds.The“Armed” lightmaybeONor OFFthefirsttimethe panelispowered.Thelast armed/

disarmed condition is stored in the EEPROM memory so the panel will always power up in the last armed/disarmed

state. If the “Armed” light is ON, enter the default Master Code [1234] to disarm the panel. If the keypad is not active,

check for the presence of AC power at the “AC” terminals, check the keypad connections and check the panel fuses.

If all the zones are properly connected with double end of line resistors all of the Zone Lights will be OFF. Note that

the panel will arm only if all zones are properly connected with double end of line resistors so that the “Ready” light

is ON. NOTE: The Fire Zone only requires a single end-of-line resistor. The keypad should beep several times to

indicate acceptance of the Master Code. Enter the Master Code to arm or disarm the panel.

Read the “Keypad Functions” section of this manual or the “End User’s Manual” and enter commands on the keypad

to become familiar with the different commands.

Turn to the “Programming Guide” in this manual and enter a sample program into the panel through the keypad to

become familiar with the programming commands.

Mounting the Panel

Select a dry location close to an unswitched AC source, close to a ground connection and close to the telephone

connection.

Removeprintedcircuitboard, mountinghardwareand keypadfromcardboard retainerinsidepanel.Beforeattaching

Connect 1000Ω½W resistor across terminals to eliminate trouble condition if bell circuit is not being used.

Terminal Connections

AC Power Terminals

Use a 16.5 VAC transformer with a minimum 40 VA rating to supply AC power to the PC2585. The transformer should

notbeconnectedtoanoutletthatiscontrolledbyaswitch.IfACfailureoccursitisdisplayedasatroubleonthekeypad

(see “Keypad Functions, [Q][2] Trouble Conditions”). It can also be transmitted to the monitoring station as a trouble

condition (see “Programming Guide [Q][8]” sections [16] and [17] for alarm and restoral codes and Section [19] for

AC transmission delay).

Auxiliary Power Terminals: AUX+ and AUX-

Two “AUX” terminals are provided to ease wiring congestion at these terminals. The auxiliary power supply can be

used to power motion detectors and other devices requiring 12 VDC. 400mA 12 VDC is available from the “AUX+”

(positive) and “AUX-” (negative) terminals when the PC2585 is used with one keypad. For each additional keypad the

auxiliary supply rating must be reduced by 60mA. The auxiliary supply is fused with the keypad supply at 1 amp.

Auxiliary fuse failure can be transmitted (see [Q][8] sections [16] and [17]).

Switched Auxiliary Power Terminals: SW AUX and AUX-

Theswitched auxiliary supply can be switched off momentarily from the keypad (see “Keypad Functions [Q][4]”). The

“SW AUX” terminal is positive and the “AUX-” terminal negative. The 400 mA auxiliarysupply rating must be reduced

by any current taken from the switched auxiliary supply. The switched supply shares the same fuse as the auxiliary

supply.

Bell/Siren Terminals BELL [+] and BELL [-]

These terminals are for powering bells or other devices requiring a steady output voltage on alarm. The bell output

isfusedfor5amps.Whenconnectingsirens(speakerswithsirendriveralreadybuilt-in),besuretoobservethecorrect

Auxiliary Input Terminal: AUX IN (also Key Arming)

The “AUX IN” input terminal is a normally open 24-hour zone. It can be programmed from the keypad to be silent or

audible.Thereisnodisplayonthekeypadforthe“AUXIN”input.Analarmonthisinputiscreatedbyapplyingapositive

voltage or by closing a contact between the “AUX IN” terminal and the positive auxiliary supply. See “Programming

Guide [Q][8]” Section [15] for programming the alarm and restoral codes.

The “AUX IN” terminal can also be used as a momentary key arming/disarming input. See “Programming Guide”

Section [31] for a list of options for the “AUX IN” terminal.

Zone Input Terminals Z1 to Z8

Zone inputs Z1 to Z8 are supervised Double End Of Line resistor circuits. Double E.O.L resistor circuits give zones

the capability to detect tamper conditions. A tamper condition can be either a short or open on a zone. The normal

condition is 5600 Ohms. The Alarm condition is 11200 Ohms. The tamper resistor is placed between the tamper

contact and the alarm contact. This configuration will allow the panel to detect zone tampers (zone open or shorted),

zones in alarm (alarm condition of 11200 Ohms), and restored zones (normal condition of 5600 Ohms). See the

Hook-up Diagram for normally closed and normally open contact connections.

Telephone Terminals: A, B, C, D, and EGND

The wires from the RJ31-X telephone jack are connected to these terminals in the following way.

A Red wire from RJ31-X cord Incoming line from

B Green wire from RJ31-X cord telephone company

C Grey wire from RJ31-X cord Outgoing line to

D Brown wire from RJ31-X cord house telephone(s)

Battery Connections

Do not connect the battery or the transformer until the wiring is complete. Connect the red battery lead to the positive

battery terminal and the black lead to the negative battery terminal. If the connection is made in reverse the battery

fuse will blow. The battery charging voltage is factory set and normally needs no adjustment.

Keypad Installation

Mount the keypads near the exit-entry doors. The PC2550RK keypad has a red, a black, a green and a yellow wire

on the back. Connect these four wires to the four keypad terminals on the control panel using four conductor (quad)

telephone wire. Up to three keypads may be connected to one PC2585. Connect all green wires from the keypads to

the“GRN” terminalonthepanel.Connectallyellowwiresfromthekeypadstothe“YEL”terminalonthepanel.Connect

all red wires from the keypads to the “RED” terminal. Connect all black wires from the keypads to the “BLK” terminal.

The following DSC keypads are also compatible with the PC2585:

• LED625

• LED625T

• LCD600

• LCD600T

Consult your DSC dealer for information regarding these keypads and required software versions.

Power-up Procedure

If the keypads are located a distance from the panel, install an extra keypad temporarily at the panel during power

up testing. An extra keypad with a short length of cable and alligator clips attached is helpful for testing and

programming PC2585 systems.

Connect the transformer and wait approximately 5 seconds.

Enter a few keypad commands and open a zone to be sure that the panel and keypad are responding to signals. If

the keypad does not respond and there are no indicators ON, check for AC voltage at the “AC” terminals. If there is

16 VAC present, check that the keypad wiring is correct and check the keypad/auxiliary supply fuse. If the keypad/

auxiliary supply fuse is blown check for a short between the keypad red and black wires before replacing the fuse.

If the keypad is responding normally, connect the battery. The red battery lead attaches to the positive battery post

and the black battery lead attaches to the negative battery post.

NOTE: THE PC2585 WILL NOT START UP IF ‘AC’ IS OFF.

Testing The System

SeeInstaller’stest,[Q][6][MasterCode][0],ordothefollowing.Contactthemonitoringstationtorequestatransmission

test. Plug the telephone cord into the RJ31-X jack. If a DTS-1 is being used to monitor communicator transmissions,

connect as described in “Bench Testing” section and place the DTS-1 in the line mode by pressing the red “LINE/

LOCAL” button. Arm the panel, wait for the exit delay to expire and trip a detector on an instant circuit. Wait for the

communication to complete. Disarm panel and check with the monitoring station to confirm the transmission. Perform

additional transmissions required by the monitoring station.

Check the “Trouble” light; if it is ON, press [Q] then [2] to determine if there is a system trouble. The “Trouble Display”

section in “Keypad Commands” gives a description of the different trouble conditions.

Instructing End-User

GUIDELINES FOR LOCATING SMOKE DETECTORS

Experiencehasshownthatallhostilefiresinfamilyliving

units generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent.

Experiments using typical fires in family living units

indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede

detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these

reasons,smoke detectors should beinstalledoutsideof

each sleeping area and on each additional story of the

family unit.

The following information is for general guidance only

and it is recommended that the smoke detector

manufacturer'sliteraturebeusedfordetailedinstallation

instructions.

It is recommended that additional smoke detectors

beyond those required be installed for increased

protection. The added areas include: basement,

bedrooms, dining rooms, furnace room, utility room and

hallways not protected by the required detectors.

Figure 1: A smoke detector should be located between

the sleeping area and the rest of the family unit.

Figure 2: In family living units with more than one

sleeping area, a smoke detector should be located to

protect each sleeping area.

Figure 3: A smoke detector should be located on

each story of the living unit.

Figure 4: Smoke Detector mounting and “Dead” Air

Space. The smoke from a fire generally rises to the

ceiling, spreads out across the ceiling surface and

begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner

where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into

which the smoke may have difficulty penetrating. In

most fires, this “dead” air space measures about 4 in.

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

Introduction

ThePC2550RKremotekeypadprovides completeinformationand controlofthe PC2585controlpanel. Thepanelcan

be fully programmed from the keypad. The 8 Zone Lights and the “Fire” light provide alarm and status indication for

the alarm circuits. The 6 function lights guide the user in operating the system. The built-in buzzer lets the user hear

correctkeyentriesandotheralertsignals.The12digitkeypadisusedforcodeentryandotherprogrammingfunctions.

All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.

The keypad is normally resting in the arm-disarm mode. In this condition the Zone Lights are indicating the opening

and closing of zones.The Ready LIGHT comes ONwhen allzones are closed. Thesystem can bedirected to perform

other functions such as zone bypassing, displaying trouble conditions, displaying alarm memory and programming

by entering one of the various [Q] commands described below. Pressing the [#] key or not making any key entry for

2 minutes returns the keypad to the arm-disarm mode.

Master Code

A default Master Code “1234” is programmed into the PC2585 at the factory. The Master Code is used for arming and

disarming the control panel, for programming up to fifteen additional Access Codes using the [Q][5] command and

for entering other userfunctions using the [Q][6] command.The Master Codecan bereprogrammed by the userif the

installerprograms itthat way(Section [23]Zone Light5). ThePC2585 usesEEPROM memoryand thecodesand other

data are retained even after complete AC and battery failure.

Second Master Code

A second Master Code can be programmed into the PC2585; in the default setting, the Second Master Code is not

programmed. This code can be changed by the installer only. The Second Master Code is useful where there are

multiplepanelsina complex,wherethe codecanbe usedasa“masterkey”. Notethatthe sameClosingand Opening

Codes are transmitted for both the Second Master Code and the regular Master Code.

Installer’s Programming Code

A default installer’s programming code “2585” is programmed into the PC2585. This code is used with the [Q][8]

command by the installer to gain access to the system in order to enter panel or communicator program information.

The installer’s program code may be changed by the installer.

Arming

Check to see if the “Trouble” or “Bypass” light is ON before arming the PC2585. Close all protected doors and

windows and stop movement in areas covered by motion detectors. Check to see that the “Ready” light is ON (all

zones are closed). The system cannot be armed unless the “Ready” light is ON. Enter a [4 Digit Access Code]. As

eachdigit is entered thekeypadbuzzerwill beep. If theAccessCodewasentered incorrectly, the sounderwillbeep

steadily for 2 seconds. If the code was entered correctly but the “Ready” light was not ON, the keypad will beep

quicklyfollowedbyasteadytone.Whenthecorrectcodeisentered,the“Armed”lightwillcomeONand the keypad

buzzerwill beepquickly.Exit thepremisesthrough the designatedexit-entrydoor. Attheend oftheallowedexit time

all lights on the keypad will go out except the “Armed” light. See Programming Section [19] for instructions on how

to change the exit time. Also see “Quick-Arm” and “At Home Arming”.

Disarming

Enter the premises through the designated exit-entry door; the keypad buzzer will be sounding a steady tone. Go

to the keypad and enter the [4 digit Access Code]. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and enter

the code again. The “Armed” light will go out and the keypad sounder will stop. The correct Access Code must be

enteredbeforethe allowed entry time expires. Tochange the entry time, refer tothe Programming Guide. If an alarm

occurred while the panel was armed, the “Memory” light and the Zone Light which caused the alarm will start to

FLASH and continue flashing for 2 minutes when the panel is disarmed. Pressing the [#] key returns the panel to the

normal arm-disarm mode.

Auto Bypass/Home Away Arming

Ifacorrect Access Code is entered, andyou do not exit the premises,the system will, at the endofthe Exit delay time,

armwithinteriorzonesautomaticallybypassedifthoseinteriorzoneshavebeenprogrammedas“HomeAway”zones.

The “Bypass” light will come ON immediately following the arming code being entered until a delay zone is tripped

or [Q][1] is entered to reactivate bypassed Home Away zones (see Programming Section [18] Zone Definitions for

programming zones as “Home Away”).

This is a convenience feature for the user who wishes to remain at home with the system armed. The user does not

have to manually bypass the Home Away zones. To reactivate the Home Away zones that have been automatically

bypassed, press [Q][1]. The “Bypass” light will go out. This command is a quick method of fully arming the system

before retiring for the night.

Bypass Zones: [

]+[1]

A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm; note that Tamper Alarms cannot be bypassed. If a zone is bypassed, the

systemmaybearmed (“Ready”lightwill beON)even ifthezoneisopen. Usezonebypassing whenaccessis needed

to part of the protected area.

To bypass zones, enter [Q][1] and the zone number(s) to be bypassed. Press [#] to return to “Ready” (arm-disarm

mode). When bypassing zones, one digit must be entered for each zone number(s) to be bypassed (for example,

[Q][1][1 to 8]). To remove all bypasses, enter [Q][1][0][#]. The Zone Lights which are ON while the “Bypass” light

is flashing indicate the bypassed zones. Remember that if no keypad entry is made for more than 2 minutes the

keypad will return to the arm-disarm mode. Then, in order to bypass a zone the complete command must be re-

entered. Once the bypass command is entered, pressing [9] recalls the last zone or group of zones which was

bypassed. If the same group of zones is bypassed each time, this bypass recall feature can be used instead of

having to bypass zones individually.

Whenthe PC2585 is programmed, the ability to bypass certainzones may be eliminated.In this case, the ZoneLights

for those zones will not come ON in response to the bypass command. Refer to Programming Section [36] for

instructions on programming the Bypass Mask. If the “Bypass” light is ON before arming the system, the [Q][1]

command should be used to see which zones are bypassed so that zones are not unintentionally bypassed. Zone

bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel is disarmed.

IfZoneLight4 inSection[23]isON thenacodemustbe enteredwith[Q][1] tobypasszones.Onlythe zonesassigned

tothesamesideofthesystemastheAccessCodecanbebypassed.TheabilitytobypassusingcertainAccessCodes

can be eliminated. See the “Access Bypass Mask” instructions in Programming Sections [37] and [38].

NOTE: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.

Display Trouble Conditions: [

]+[2]

The PC2585 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the

“Trouble” light will come ON and the audible indication will sound (two short beeps every 10 seconds). When the

[#] key is pressed the audible indication will stop but the “Trouble” light will remain ON until the trouble is cleared.

Trouble conditions can also be transmitted to the monitoring station (see Programming Sections [16] and [17] for

alarmand restoral trouble codes). Press the [Q] then[2] keys to display thetype of trouble. The Zone Lightsindicate

the type of trouble condition:

1Low standby battery

If[9] is pressed while in the troubledisplaymodethemostrecenttrouble will be displayed on the ZoneLights.This

trouble memory feature is useful as a diagnostic aid when installing and servicing the PC2585.

Alarm Memory Display: [

]+[3]

Press [Q] then [3] to enter the alarm memory mode. The “Memory” light will FLASH and any alarm caused during the

last armed period will be displayed on the Zone Lights. In addition to the last alarm memory there are 2 history levels.

After entering the memory mode (pressing [Q] then [3]), pressing [9] will cause the keypad to display the two other

levels of alarm history. Each time [9] is pressed the keypad will beep 1, 2 or 3 times to indicate which level of history

isbeing viewed. When the panel is armed, the last alarmmemory is cleared and the contents moves to the firsthistory

level. The “Memory” light will only be ON when there was an alarm during the last armed period. Press [#] to return

to “Ready”.

Switched Auxiliary Supply Control: [

]+[Hold Down 4]

To interrupt the switched auxiliary power supply press [Q] then hold down [4] for the desired interrupt time. When the

[4] is released the system returns to the ready mode and the switched auxiliary supply is restored.

User Programming Command: [

]+[5]+[Master Code]

The [Q][5] user’s programming commands are used to program additional Access Codes. Up to 16 user arm-disarm

codes may be programmed. The first code is the Master Code (factory default [1234]). The 16th code is optionally a

“One Time Use”. The 16th code may be changed from a “One Time Use” code to a regular code using an installer’s

programming command (Section [23] Zone Light 6). Remember if no keypad entry is made for more than 2 minutes

the keypad will return to the normal arm-disarm display and the complete command will have to be re-entered to

program a new Access Code.

Programming Additional Access Codes

1 Press the [Q] and [5] keys then enter the Master code (default [1234]) to enter the additional code programming

mode. The “Program” light and Zone Light 1 will be ON to show that the first code (the Master Code) is already

programmed with the factory default code [1234]. The Master Code may be changed but do not try to erase the

Master Code. The installer can disable user changing of the Master Code by turning Zone Light 5 in Section [23]

ON.

2 Seven additional codes may be programmed. The Zone Lights are used to indicate which of these codes are

alreadyprogrammed (zone ON steady) andtheonewhichis currently being programmed (ZoneLightisflashing).

3 To program the second code, press [2] and Zone Light 2 will FLASH. Then enter a 4 digit code and the buzzer will

There are three zones which can be activated from the keypad. The alarm and restoral codes for keypad zones are

programmed using the [Q][8] command.

Pressing the [F] key or the [1] and [3] keys for 2 seconds activates a fire alarm. The fire alarm sounds the siren/bell

in a pulsed mode and is annunciated as a memory condition. The Fire key can be turned OFF in Section [24].

Pressing the [A] key or the [4] and [6] keys for 2 seconds activates an auxiliary keypad zone. If a reporting attempt

is made to an alarm receiver and it is successful the PC2585 will acknowledge the transmission with a short series of

beeps from the keypad.

Pressing the [P] key or the [Q] and [#] keys for 2 seconds activates the Police (or Panic) alarm. The panic alarm can

be programmed for audible or silent operation (see Programming Section [24]).

There is no light annunciation from the keypad for the last two keypad zones, however, the keypad buzzer beeps 3

times to confirm activation on any of the keypad zones.

See Section [15] for alarm and restoral codes for all three keypad zones.

NOTE: Pressing two keys simultaneously to activate a keypad zone will only function with the PC2550RK

keypad. This function will not work on other keypad models.
