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:

■■

■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 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.

■■

■Failure 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.

■■

■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 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.

■■

■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, con-

soles, 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.

INTRODUCTION

The use of any power source other than a PC4204 to

repower the COMBUS will result in a system

malfunction.

The PC4216 low current module provides 16 separate

outputs. Each output may be programmed to operate under

the control of 1 of 35 options as listed in the programmable

options section of the installation manual. Up to 8 other

PC4216’s may be used to provide outputs for graphic

annunciator or similar devices for the maximum of 128

zones. The PC4216 connects to the COMBUS with four

wires. A maximum of 9 PC4216’s may be connected to a

system. The PC4216 may be installed in the main cabinet or

in other cabinet options and is shipped as a board only.

The PC4020 includes the capability of driving a serial

printer using a PC4400 RS232 output module. The PC4400

connects to the COMBUS with four wires. The printer may

be located up to 200 feet (60 meters) away from the

module. The PC4400 is shipped as a board only.

The PC4820 Access Control Module provides the ability to

have 2 access card readers and 2 doors interfaced to the

PC4020KT. There can be up to 16 access control modules

enrolled on the system to make a total of 32 zones that can

be interfaced to the alarm system.

The PC4020 is a highly flexible and versatile control

which will enable the installer to meet the most

demanding security requirements. The heart of the

system is the main control panel, designated the

PC4020, which is connected to other system elements

using common 4 conductor unshielded station wire. The

main panel processes signal information and

communicating with the monitoring station. The main

panel is capable of supervising 16 zones, any of which

may be defined for fire or burglary applications and also

manages up to eight separate and fully independent

partitions, assigning zones and their controlling keypads

in accordance with installer programming.

The basic 16 zone capability of the PC4020 can be

expanded using either PC4108, PC4116 or PC4164

modules which provide 8, 16 or 64 zones of additional

inputs respectively up to a system maximum of 128

zones. The PC4108 and PC4116 are designed for use

within any of the cabinets and are shipped as PC boards

only. The PC4164 is designed to be placed inside the

supplied cabinet.

Programming and system operation are carried out using

the LCD4500 liquid crystal display keypad. The

LCD4500 connects at any point in the system to the four

wire communication bus or “COMBUS”, its specific

identification being determined automatically in the

process of installing it. A maximum of 16 LCD4500

keypads may be used on any one system regardless of

size.

The PC4204 relay output module is available for

installations requiring additional power beyond the 500

mA supplied by the PC4020 main panel. This module

comprises a 12 volt DC power supply of 1.5 Amp

capacity and four 12 volt relays with form C contacts

which will provide switched outputs under any of the 35

options available in the list of programmable outputs. The

PC4204 connects to the COMBUS via four wires as with

other system elements. It requires a 16 -18 volt, 40 VA

transformer and a 12 volt battery. Up to 16 PC4204

modules may be installed on any one system. The

PC4204 is shipped as a PC board only.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION

AND WIRING

When designing a security system with the PC4020 that

will be larger than 16 zones or have two or more

Partitions it is best to first lay out the system on paper.

This will help determine the total number of zones,

additional expansion and power supply modules and

other system elements that may be needed.

When the location of all points of protection is known the

location of the zone expanders can be made. You will

find that working from a plan, a layout will reveal the

most economical use of system modules; two eight zone

expansion modules instead of one sixteen zone, for

example, can save long wire runs because of the

location of zones.

The plan will also enable you to make the most efficient

layout for the communications bus (COMBUS). This is

the four conductor cable which can be standard station

wire (four 22 AWG wires colour coded red, black ,

yellow and green) to which all system modules are

connected in parallel. It is not necessary to run the

COMBUS in shield unless it is being run through an area

of high electrical noise.

The COMBUS may be up to 1,000 ft (305m) from the

main board to the farthest module, with any number of

modules in between. More than one COMBUS of 1,000 ft

(305m) can run from the PC4020.

Note: Do not use shielded cable for COMBUS wire

runs.

Suggested Wiring Procedure

The first step in designing a PC4020 installation is

developing a system layout on paper. Doing this will

allow you to work from a plan and help to avoid making

mistakes and make programming easier.

Creating a System Layout

1Draw a rough sketch of the building(s) layout in the

installation including the interior walls. Indicate on

the diagram the location of the PC4020 main panel.

The panel should be in a dry, secure location close

to a non switched AC source, a ground connection

and a telephone line connection.

2Indicate on the diagram the location of all zones as

well as the device required such as smoke

detectors, motion detectors, door contacts etc.

3If using the PC4700 Fire Module, indicate on the

diagram the location of the smoke detectors which

will be 2 wire and the locations of the waterflow

detector.

NOTE: The fire module is located in the Main

Cabinet with the control panel. Be sure to indicate

the location of the Bell output.

4Zones may be grouped together into partitions. Knowing

the zone number of each zone will allow the partition

setup done without mistakes. Locate any zone

expansion modules (PC4108 or PC4116) required close

to groups of zones for easier wiring.

Decide on the order to enroll the expansion modules.

The first 16 zones (1 through 16) are on the main panel.

As each module is enrolled it will be assigned in

sequence the next available group of zones. If an 8

zone module (PC4108) was enrolled first, it would be

assigned zones 17 through 24. If then a 16 zone

expansion module (PC4116) is enrolled it would be

assigned zones 25 through 40.

Once the order to enroll the expansion modules has

been determined, number each zone accordingly.

5Wireless zones (used with the PC4164) can be placed

anywhere within the reception range of the PC4164.

Once the zone that are planned to be used are indicated

on the diagram the location of the PC4164 can be shown

as well. For best results the PC4164 should be placed in

as central of a location as possible. Indicate next to the

zone, the serial number of that zone. This will make

placement tests easier.

6The PC4700 Fire Module zones (2 wire smoke detector

loop and a 4 wire waterflow loop) are system zones

(zone which Belong to all partitions) a detector should

be place in each partition to allow for the most effective

use of the module.

7Indicate each partition by boxing the area of the partition

on the diagram. From this diagram it can be quickly

determined which zones belong to that partition.

8Determine the number of keypads (LCD4500) required

for each partition and their location on the system. The

maximum number of keypads on a system is 16. Each

keypad on the system assigned to a partition can only

be used to operate that partition. (EXCEPTION - A

System Master or a multi-partition access code can

access any partition that the code is assigned to from

any keypad). Indicate on the diagram the location and

the partition each keypad will be assigned to.

After the number of zones, keypads, and their locations,

expansion modules and separately controlled systems

(partitions) have been determined, decide other

modules required to complete the installation.

10 Siren outputs can be programmed to activate if one or

more partition goes into alarm. The main panel provides

one output (The Main Bell Output).

Additional outputs can be obtained from the PC4204

power supply/relay output module(s). Each PC4204

module has 4 form “C” relays, the last 3 of which can be

used as any one of the 28 output options (See PGM

Output List). Indicate on the diagram the location of

each of the sirens, and the location of the PC4204

module(s).

11 The PC4216 module provides up to 16 programmable

outputs. Each output can be programmed for 28

different options (See PGM Output List). It is also

used to display zones/status on a graphic

annunciator. Each of the 9 PC4216 modules is

capable of being programmed in any of the 25

available ways indicating the location of the PC4216

and the module number and also be programmed as

custom groups with the 28 options available.

See “PC4216 OPTIONS” for a list of the programming

options.

12 Indicate the location of RS-232 printer module

(PC4400) on the diagram. The PC4400 provides serial

output to an on-site printer that will record the identity

of the system, description of the occurrence (alarm,

trouble etc.) by user, with date and time stamp.

1313

13 Indicate on the diagram the location of the PC4820.

On the diagram also include the zones that will be

used as access control points. Indicate the door

number and the location of the card reader as well as

other devices that may be used for the other inputs

(REX - Request to Exit, Post - Postpone Arming, and

Arm - Request to Arm). Depending on the setup of the

installation, these devices may be inside or outside of

the controlled area. Be sure to locate the module

cabinets in a dry, secure location near a non-

switched AC source and ground connection.

Note: When deciding which zone to use for access

control, do not select any zones from 1 to 16.

These zones can only be used as control panel

inputs.

14 Mount the cabinet, panel (See “Mounting The Panel”)

and prepare the wires for connection to the panel.

RF Zones — Summary

Placing Components

Before permanently mounting components, each

component should be tested in its intended mounting

location to ensure it can communicate properly with the

PC4164. It is recommended that the RF Signal Test is

performed more than once for each zone.

For the best system performance, it is suggested that the

PC4164 be mounted in as central location as possible

and as elevated a location as possible.

In most installations, selecting a central location for the

PC4164 will ensure reliable system operation. When

mounting the PC4164 in a basement, it is recommended

that the PC4164 be mounted as high and as close to the

underside of the first floor as possible.

RF Signal Test

Enter installer mode and select the section RF Signal

Test. This section will help determine if the location of the

zone is good. (Be sure that the zone is enrolled before

performing an RF Signal Test). Once this section has

been selected the panel will then ask the user to select

the zone to be tested. Use the [<][>] keys to scroll the

selected zone and press the [✱] key to select the zone.

At this point the display will read "Please Activate Zone".

Open and close the zone 2 times. (Note: the zone may

require to be tripped more depending on the location of the

zone). On the restoral of the zone for the second time the

panel will display a rating of the zones placing (with

respect to RF strength). The "Placement Result" may be

Good, Fair, or Poor. A placement rating of "Good" means

that the zone is placed in a location that has strong RF

transmission strength. A placement rating of "Fair" means

that the zone is placed in a location that has passed the RF

transmission strength test. A placement rating of "Poor"

means that the zone is placed in a location that has weak

RF transmission strength and therefore should be

relocated. In most cases it should only be necessary to

move the component a short distance from is original

intended location.

After relocating the component repeat the RF Signal Test.

When the test results are satisfactory continue to test the

next component.

Note: To perform a RF Signal Test on an RF PIR Motion

Detector the zone must be tampered and restored

instead of opened and closed due to the detectors

"High Traffic Shutdown Mode".

Wireless PIR Motion Detectors

To prolong battery life of a PIR Motion Detector, the

detector features a High Traffic Shutdown Mode. If a motion

detector is activated more than once within a 6 minute

period, the detector will temporarily delay reporting activity

to the PC4164. The Motion Detector will then require a 12

minute period of no activity before it will resume

transmissions to the PC4164. Because the High Traffic

Shutdown Mode prevents Motion Detectors from being

tested during a regular walk test, the Motion Detector

features its own built-in Walk Test Mode. To activate this

mode remove the back plate from the detector to be tested,

and then re-attach it. The Motion Detector will be in Walk

Test Mode for 90 seconds. The LED will come on for 3

seconds each time the detector is tripped. (Note: The zone

will not transmit the zone trip to the PC4164 during this

mode. To perform a walk test of the Wireless PIR the zone

must be tampered and restored). At the end of the 90

second period the Motion Detector will return to normal

operation.

Zone Supervisories

A zone supervisory is a transmission sent from the wireless

zone to the PC4164 as a test transmission to ensure that

communications between the zone and the PC4164 are still

present. When the PC4164 receives the supervisory from

the zone it will then transmit this information to the control

panel. If the control panel does not get a supervisory within

the "supervision time", the zone will be considered lost and

go into the open state..(if Double EOL is being used the

zone will go into the Tamper Alarm state). If the partition

partition is armed the zone will go into alarm and transmit

the sensor fault and alarm reporting codes if programmed.

The next supervisory that the PC4164 receives for a

missing zone will restore communication with that zone and

restore the Zone Supervisory Fault.

Battery Troubles

If a zone has a low battery trouble, then that zone does

not report in with a zone supervisory within the

"supervision time". The zone will not go into alarm. This

has been included to reduce the possibility of a false

alarm from batteries that do not get changed in the

zone, and then the zone going into sensor fault.

Restoring Battery Troubles

A wireless zone battery trouble will only be restored

after that zone has been Tampered and Restored. This

will allow the batteries to be changed without multiple

Battery trouble/Battery restoral transmissions taking

place. In order for the batteries to be changed the cover

must be removed from the back plate (tampering the

zone). When the tamper is restored and the zone sends

a battery trouble restoral (as well as the tamper restoral)

signal to the PC4164, the battery trouble will clear.

Default Srl #'s (4)

Once this selected has been made the LCD will display

the message "Confirm Default Press ✱". To abort press

any other key. Once the [✱] key has been pressed the

LCD will display the message "Resetting ". All RF zone

signatures will have been erased from the PC4164.

Note: Deleting the RF signatures from the PC4164

will not remove the zone(s) from the partition

assignment(s).

COMBUS Power and Operation

The PC4020 main board can provide up to 500 mA to

power modules, keypads and devices. A PC4204 power

module is required when additional current is needed

either for powering detection devices or operating bells

and sirens. The PC4204 requires its own transformer

and battery and can provide up to 1.5A at 12 VDC. Four

relays on the module provide form C switched outputs

with contact ratings of 3 amps @ 12 VDC (10 amps @ 120

VAC) for a variety of programmable options. When used

to repower the COMBUS the PC4204 must be wired in

accordance with the instructions supplied with the unit.

Use of a power source other than the PC4204 power

supply module to supply additional power to the PC4020

system is not recommended for the following reasons:

If the main panel loses communications with a module,

within a maximum of 30 seconds the panel will perform a

system reset in which power to the COMBUS is

removed. Five seconds later power is reapplied and the

panel will attempt to communicate with the module. If

the panel is unsuccessful communicating with the

module it will display and report a COMBUS

communications fault.

When the main panel performs a reset, relay 1 when

programmed for “COMBUS POWER” will open. This will

disconnect the power supplied to the modules, resetting

them so that communications to the main panel are

reinitialized.

For example, if the microprocessor on the module has

been scrambled due to a transient, the PC4020 will

power down the COMBUS, the PC4204 will mimic the

PC4020 and cut off its power supply to the module. The

module will be powered down. When the PC4020 returns

power to the COMBUS, the PC4204 will reconnect its power

supply, and the power to the module will return. Because

the module was powered down and powered up, the

module is now reset, and can communicate with the

PC4020.

If a power supply other than a PC4204 was used, the

module would never power down, never reset, and the

module will stay off line requiring the attention of service

personnel.

CAUTION: When used to power a module, the “RLY 1

COM” terminal of the PC4204 must be connected to the

“RED COMBUS” terminal of the module only. The

positive (RED) conductor of the COMBUS must be left

unconnected to the module that is powered by the

PC4204. The “BLK COMBUS” of the module should be

run common to the negative (“BLK”) of the COMBUS.

Use of a power source other than the PC4204 power

supply module to supply additional power to the PC4020

system is not recommended.

The COMBUS is a four conductor cable to which all

modules and keypads are connected in parallel.

Connections to the COMBUS do not have to be home-run.

For example if a storage building had an 8 zone expander

(PC4108) and a keypad (LCD4500 ) located in it, the zone

expander and keypad could be spliced together and run

back on a single 4 wire cable to the nearest point on the

COMBUS.

Testing The Combus

To test the Combus for a low voltage condition, connect all

devices to the system (include any motion dectectors, glass

break detectors, etc.) and enroll each of the modules. Exit

installers mode and allow the system to run normally for 5 -

10 minutes. This will allow time for any modules that may

have battery troubles time to report. If after this time there

are any battery troubles be sure that the batteries are

"good" by disconnecting the suspect battery and placing a

voltage meter accross the battery leads (of the module); the

output voltage should be 13.85V. If the voltage is good then

check the battery (under load), even if the battery is under

a load the voltage should still be above 12.0V. Once all (if

any) battery troubles have been taken care of, be sure that

there are no Combus Low Voltage troubles. If there are

locate the modules with the low voltage troubles by entering

Installers Mode and selecting Diagnostics. Refer to

Appendix B for the List of Diagnostics. Once the module(s)

have been isolated a PC4204 will be required to increase

the power to be module with the low voltage trouble. Now

that all trouble have been taken care of the next step is to

remove AC power from all modules and allow the panel to

run for 10 minutes on battery power alone. If there are

any Combus Low Voltage troubles a PC4204 Combus

repower module may be required at the Low voltage

location to insure proper system operation. Repeat this

test as required.

Mounting the Panel

Select a dry location close to an unswitched AC source,

a ground connection and a telephone connection for

mounting the Main Control Cabinet.

Remove the PC4020 printed circuit board, mounting

hardware, and keypad from the cardboard retainer inside

the large cabinet. Before attaching the cabinet to the

wall, press the five white nylon printed circuit board

mounting studs into the cabinet from the back.

Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for

connection before mounting the circuit board to the back

of the cabinet. Press the circuit board down onto the

mounting studs.

There is room in the Main Control Cabinet (PC4001C) for

any two modules (PC4108, PC4116, PC4216 or PC4400).

Modules requiring power (AC and battery PC4204) must

be installed in the large Expander Cabinet (PC4002C).

This enclosure will accommodate one module (PC4108,

PC4116, PC4216 or PC4400) and a powered output

(PC4204) or any three modules. A small Expander

Cabinet (PC4003C) is available for a single module that

does not require external power.

Once the wiring is completed power the system up by

first connecting the battery followed by the AC

transformer. All LCD4500 keypads should display the

message ‘LCD4500 DSC Ltd.’. Press a key on any

keypad that is to be assigned to Partition 1. The keypad

will beep and display the message ‘4500 Mod. #1' and

the keypad is automatically assigned to Partition 1.

Enroll every module to the system. Make sure you put

down the number of each module enrolled. Refer to the

Programming Manual for the required procedure.

When enrolling any PC4108 or PC4116 zone expander

module make sure to note the zones which you assigned

to the module.

This information is very important if it becomes necessary

to Add or Delete zones to or from a Partition. Zones 1

through 16 are assigned to Partition 1 by default. This

can be changed later in Installer Programming.

In Book 4 (Programming Work Sheets) you will find a

System Overview section. Fill in the information as each

module is enrolled. These sheets are designed to be left

in the panel so if future service is required, the location

and assigned number of each module will be readily

available.

Once all modules are enrolled perform a diagnostics

check on the panel to determine if any problems are

present (see “Diagnostics”).

Programming the System

The PC4020 has the capability to operate as 8 separate

alarm systems called Partitions. Dividing the panel into

Partitions will allow you to control access to specific areas.

When the PC4020 is first powered up all zones on the main

board and User Codes are assigned to Partition 1. If no

other Partitions are required the entire system will be

considered Partition 1. This is important to keep in mind as

often in programming the panel will require you to enter the

Partition to program.

For example, when programming entry and exit times, you

must select the menu option ‘ADD/EDIT PAR’. The keypad

will then prompt you for the Partition to add or edit. You

must select Partition 1 for a system that has no additional

Partitions.

The factory default setting for all options is provided in the

Programming Work Sheets as well as programming

‘HOTKEYS’ for the option to allow quick programming.

Complete the Programming Work Sheets located in Book 4.

Having this information prepared before programming the

panel will speed up the process considerably.

All information for the panel may be entered in the

Programming Work Sheets.

Any zone expanders on the system will include a similar

sheet and the information should be completed for these as

well.

There is no set order in which the panel must be

programmed, however, if you use the following guideline it

may simplify the programming of the panel for the first time.

Step 1 - Define all Partitions

When the panel is first powered up the 16 zones on the

main panel are assigned to Partition 1. Additional zone

expanders enrolled to the system are NOT assigned to any

Partition.

Any zones from 1 through 16 that are required on a different

Partition must be DELETED from Partition 1 before they are

ADDED to another Partition. Any zones above Zone 16 must

be ADDED to the proper Partition. See “Zone Assignment”

in the Programming Manual (Book 3) for the procedure to

add and delete zones.

When you ADD each zone to the proper Partition it will save

time if you also program the Zone Label, Zone Type and

Zone Options. All of this information may be entered in the

Programming Work Sheets located in Book 4 and in the

programming work sheet included with each Zone

Expansion module.

Note: Do not program any of the system outputs until all

partitions have been added to the system. All output

types that are selectable by partition will only allow the

choice of enabled parts.

Step 2 - Program the System

Now that the Partitions have been defined and zones

programmed, you are ready to program the rest of the

system. It is best to follow the Programming Work Sheets

starting at the beginning and carefully programming

each section. Having the required information entered

ahead of time will speed up this process considerably.

Once the Installer Programming is complete you can

program user functions ([✱][6][Master Code]). Next,

features on each partition can be enabled. Go to a

keypad assigned to the desired partition and enable the

features through [✱][6][Master Code] commands.

Step 3 - Program user Codes

From default the PC4020 comes with one user code

assigned as a Grand Master Code (‘1234’ for 4 digit

option, or ‘123456’ for 6 digit option). The other 999

user codes, 4 digit or 6 digit, may be programmed by

entering User Programming Commands ([✱][5][Access

Code]). See ‘Programming Additional Access Codes

Using a System Master Code or a Supervisory Code’

section in this manual.

Step 4 - Testing the System

See “Bell/Comm Test” under [✱][6] User Functions or do

the following. Contact the monitoring station to request a

transmission test. Plug the telephone cord into the RJ31-

X jack. If a DTS-1 is being used to monitor communicator

transmissions, connect it to the telephone line 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 the panel and

check with the monitoring station to confirm acceptance

of the transmission. Perform additional transmissions

required by the monitoring station.

Check the “TROUBLE” light on the keypad. If it is on,

press [✱] then [2] to determine the trouble. The “Trouble

Display” section in “Keypad Functions” gives a

description of the different trouble conditions.

Step 5 - Instructing the End User

Describe system operation to authorized users.

Provide user with the instruction manual and instruct

them to read it to become familiar with the system

operation.

Instruct the user to test the system on a regular basis as

described in the Instruction Manual. The Master Code

should be changed from the default setting and

recorded.

There is a wide range of possible uses for the [✱][4] and

[✱][7] commands which are not described in the

instruction manual. Be sure to explain the functions of

the [✱][4] Sensor Reset and the [✱][7] Utility Output to

the user if they are incorporated into the system.

Hardware Reset of Memory to Factory

Defaults

If the Installer’s Code is lost through inadvertent

programming, the only means of reprogramming the system

is by a hardware reset. If the Installer’s Lockout is enabled,

there is no way to reprogram the system without entering

the correct Ianstaller’s Code.

The PC4020 can also be reset through software in the

installer’s programming. See “Factory Default” in the

Programming Guide.

Note: Panels returned to DSC with the Installer’s

Lockout feature enabled and no other apparent

problems will be subject to an additional service charge.

To reset the panel to factory default conditions:

1. Power the system down by removing both AC and

battery power to the main panel.

2. Short the zone 1 terminal and the PGM terminal on the

main panel.

3. Restore power to the main panel.

4. Wait for 20 seconds then remove the short between

the PGM and zone 1.

5. The system will have reloaded the memory with

factory defaults. All modules will have to be enrolled

again. The event buffer is the only part of memory that

is retained during a factory default.

This “Terminal Connections” section only refers to the

main board of the PC4020 system. Other connections

are shown in the module wiring diagrams.

“AC” Power Terminals

Use a 16.5 VAC transformer with a minimum 40 VA

rating to supply AC power to the PC4020. The

transformer should not be connected to an outlet that is

controlled by a switch. If AC failure occurs, it will be

displayed as a trouble on the keypad (see “Keypad

Commands, [✱][2] Trouble Conditions”). It can also be

transmitted to the monitoring station as a trouble

condition (see “Programming Manual”).

Auxiliary Power Terminals “AUX” and

“GND”

The auxiliary power supply can be used to power motion

detectors and other 12 VDC devices. The “AUX”

(positive) and “GND” (negative) terminals provide 500

mA when the PC4020 is used with one keypad. For each

additional keypad the auxiliary supply rating must be

reduced by 25 mA (maximum current draw is 55 mA).

The auxiliary supply is fused at 1 amp and a Main Aux

Trouble Reporting Code can be transmitted if the fuse

fails. (See “Programming Manual”.)

Switched Auxiliary Power Terminals

“SW AUX”and “GND”

The “SW AUX” terminal is positive while the “GND”

terminal is negative. The 500 mA auxiliary supply rating

must be reduced by any current taken from the switched

auxiliary supply which shares the same fuse as the

auxiliary supply. This output is fully programmable, but

is most commonly used with the “Sensor Reset” option,

allowing the user to control the switch from the keypad.

(See “Sensor Reset”.)

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 is fused for 5 amps. When connecting sirens

(speakers with siren driver already built-in), be sure to

observe the correct polarity. Connect the positive lead

to the “BELL +” terminal and the negative lead to the

“BELL -” terminal.

If no siren or bell is used, connect a 1000 ohm resistor

(brown, black, red and gold) between “BELL +” and

“BELL -”.

Programmable Output Terminal “PGM ”

The operation of the Programmable Output depends

upon which option is selected in the programming table.

See the Programming Manual for a list of options for the

“PGM” output. The “PGM” is a 3A (maximum) switch to

ground. A small relay, a buzzer or other DC operated

device may be connected between the “AUX” (positive)

terminal and the “PGM” (switched negative) terminal to

interface with controlled devices.

TERMINAL

CONNECTIONS

COMBUS Terminals

“RED”, “BLK”, “YEL” and “GRN”

Connect the red wire of the COMBUS to the “RED” terminal,

the black wire to the “BLK” terminal, the yellow wire to the

“YEL” terminal and the green wire to the “GRN” terminal.

The COMBUS is wired in the same manner on all modules.

The COMBUS is used by the main panel to communicate

with and supply power to the modules.

The COMBUS power supply terminals are fused

electronically.

Note: When connecting modules to the COMBUS the

system must not be powered.

Zone Input Terminals “Z1” to “Z16”

Zone inputs “Z1” to “Z16” can be supervised End of Line

(E.O.L.) resistor circuits, Double EOL circuits or normally

closed loops. If E.O.L. are used, each input must be

terminated with a 5600 ohm E.O.L. resistor (green, blue, red

and gold). An alarm condition will be created if a normally

open contact is used to short across the E.O.L. resistor. A

trouble is created if normally closed contacts, wired in

series with the E.O.L. resistor, are opened. See “Zones

E.O.L.” in the Programming Manual. See the wiring diagram

for normally open and normally closed contact connections.

If Double EOL circuits are being used, all zones will use

Double EOL resistors, except Standard Fire zones, Auto

Verify Fire zones, Delay Fire Zones, Links Supervisory

Zones, Links Answer, and Forced Answer zones. These

zones must only be connected using the EOL resistor.

Double EOL resistors allows the zone to be capable of

detecting zone tampers. The tamper resistor (5600 Ohm) is

placed across the alarm activating device, and the single

EOL resistor (5600 Ohm) is placed between the alarm

contact and the tamper contacts. This configuration will

allow the panel to detect Zone faults (zone shorted) , zone

tampers (open zone), open zones (alarm condition of 11200

Ohms), and restored zones (5600 Ohms).

If the zone is disarmed and the tamper (open) or fault

(short) condition is tripped a buzzer will sound from all

partition keypads for the length of Bell Time Out or until an

access code is entered. A zone tamper will be sent to the

monitoring station if programmed. See Reporting Codes for

details.

If the zone is armed and the tamper is activated, it will

transmit and log both the tamper alarm and the zone alarm.

There will be no buzzer sounded if the zone is armed

(unless the zone is programmed as a 24 hour buzzer zone).

See the “Control Panel Wiring Diagram” for detail on the

hookup procedure.

The type of circuit or zone definition (delay, instant, 24 hour,

silent, audible, etc.) is programmed from the keypad using

the installers programming commands.

Telephone Terminals

“TIP”, “RNG”, “T-1” and “R-1”

The wires from the RJ31-X telephone jack are connected

to these terminals in the following way.

Note: For proper operation, there must be no other

telephone equipment connected between the

control panel and the telephone company’s

facilities.

Ensure that plugs and jacks meet the dimension,

tolerance and metallic plating requirements of 47

C.F.R. Part 68 Subpart F.

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 reversed the battery

fuse will blow.

Many of the functions in the PC4020 have limited access

so that only certain users may have control of special

functions. The installer can program the 2nd Master

Code to enable it and have access to the entire panel’s

operations the same as the Grand Master.

•System Master Code users can have access to all end-

user options.

•Supervisory Code users can have access to options

related to their partition.

•All other types of users have options available to them

for their partitions.

All of the above mentioned keypad functions are listed

in the following pages.

Introduction

The LCD4500 remote keypad provides complete

information and control of the PC4020 control panel.

•The panel can be fully programmed from any keypad.

•The LCD display provides alarm and status indication

for the alarm circuits as well as guiding the user in

operating the system.

•The built-in buzzer lets the user hear correct key entries

and other alert signals.

•The 12 digit keypad is used for code entry and other

programming functions. All keypad entries are made by

pressing one key at a time.

The keypad is normally in the arm-disarm mode. In this

condition, the LCD message indicates the status of the

system. The “Enter Code to Arm System”message

comes on when all zones are closed. The system can

be directed to perform other functions such as zone

bypassing, displaying trouble conditions, displaying

alarm memory and programming by entering one of the

various [✱] commands described below. Pressing the

[#] key or not making any key entry for 2 minutes always

returns the keypad to the arm-disarm mode.

Partitions

The PC4020 can have up to 128 zones. These zones

can be divided by the installer into 8 separate partitions,

that can be armed and disarmed separately. Zones can

be assigned to more than one partition. Keypads can be

individually assigned as a global keypad or to a specific

partition. More than one keypad can be global, or can

be assigned to each partition. User codes can be

enabled to work on one or multiple partitions in the

access code partition mask. System Master codes can

arm and disarm any partition from any keypad. The

default setting for the PC4020 has only partition 1

enabled with zones 1 to 16 assigned to it. To enable

more partitions, enter the Partition Area menu of the

Installer’s Programming section, and select to add/edit

the partition to be enabled.

Access Codes

An access code is a 4 or 6 digit (optional) number which

will permit access to the system, i.e. Arm/Disarm

control, Installer’s Programming etc. User access codes

are programmed in the User Programming section

[✱][5]. The default access code is ‘1234’for 4 digit option,

and ‘123456’for 6 digit option. See ‘User Programming

Commands’for details on programming access codes.

Global Keypads

What is a Global Keypad?

A global keypad is a keypad which belongs to all partitions

and may be accessed by all users on the system with valid

access codes. The keypad will prompt the user to select

the partition to edit, the keypad is then “loaned”to the

partition selected by the user. The user can only access

partitions which his/her code is assigned to.

Why should a Global Keypad be used?

Global keypads allow the entire system to be controlled by

one keypad. This is beneficial if the keypad is to be located

in a central area, for example, the lobby of an office

building where the zones are common to all partitions and

each office contains individual zones.

How to create a Global Keypad?

The global keypad may be any keypad on the system. The

first keypad on the system is enrolled as a Partition 1

keypad. It may be made into a global keypad by selecting

the option, “KYPD #1 Global”found in the system toggle

options of Installers Mode. If multiple partitions are enabled

on the system this will assign the keypad to all active

partitions.

When the next keypad is enrolled onto the system the

keypad will prompt with the message “Select (01) <>”,

options 01 - 08 are the usual partition assignments, the last

option (09) is “Global Keypad”.

How to use a Global Keypad?

The default message displayed on the keypad is “Enter

Your Access Code”, or the clock display if the option is

enabled. From this state any user entering a valid access

code may access the system.

The global keypad will display message

ENTER YOUR

ACCESS CODE

or will be the clock display if the option is enabled. From

this state any user with a valid access code may access the

system. The system can be directed to perform functions

such as arming/disarming and all [✱] mode functions. No

function can be performed without first entering a valid

access code.

•Single Partition

If a single partition access code is entered the user will

be prompted with the message

SELECT (0) < >

ARM PARTITION R

if the partition is already disarmed. The lower right hand

corner of the display will show the partition status using

the letter R for Ready, and N for Not ready.

To arm the partition press [✱] or [0] the message

EXIT DELAY

IN PROGRESS...

SYSTEM

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

will be displayed for 3 seconds. Then the display will

return to

ENTER YOUR

If the partition is armed the message on the LCD will be

SELECT (0) < >

DISARM PARTITION

Pressing the right arrow key displays the message

SELECT (1) < >

FOR OPTIONS

If option (0) is selected the panel will disarm the

partition and display the message

KEYPAD LOANED TO

(Partition Label)

for 2 seconds on the LCD display. If the user chooses

(1) “For Option”the LCD will display the message

KEYPAD LOANED TO

(Partition Label)

The user will be able to perform all [✱] functions (e.g.

[✱] [7] Door Strike) and disarm the panel using

conventional methods. Once the [#] key is pressed or

20 seconds of idle time (no key presses made or not

active in a submenu) the keypad will return to its

normal state displaying the message

EXITING FROM

(Partition Label)

•Multi-partition

If a multi-partition access code is entered the user will

be prompted with the message

SELECT (1) < >

(Partition Label) R

The lower right hand corner of the display will show the

partition status using the letter “R”for Ready, “A”for

Armed and “N”for Not ready. The user can select the

partition to access by using the [<] [>] keys. Only

partitions which the access code belongs to will be

displayed on the LCD.

If the selected partition is disarmed the message

SELECT (0) < >

ARM PARTITION R

will be prompted on the LCD. The lower right hand

corner of the display will show the partition status.

Using the letter “R”for Ready, and “N”for Not ready.

To arm the partition press [✱] or [0] the message

EXIT DELAY

IN PROGRESS...

will be displayed for 3 seconds. Then the display will

return to

SELECT (1) < >

(Partition Label)

Pressing the right arrow key displays the message

SELECT (1) < >

FOR OPTIONS

If the selected partition is armed the LCD will prompt with

the message

SELECT (0)

DISARM PARTITION

If option (0) is selected, the panel will disarm the partition

and display the message

SYSTEM DISARMED

NO ALARM MEMORY

for 2 seconds. Then the display will return to

SELECT (1) < >

(Partition Label)

If the user chooses (1) “For Option”the LCD will display

the message

KEYPAD LOANED TO

(Partition Label)

for 2 seconds. The user will be able to perform all [✱]

functions (e.g. [✱] [7] Door Strike) and arm the panel

using conventional methods. Once the [#] key is pressed

or 20 seconds of idling time (no key presses made or not

active in a submenu) the keypad will return to its normal

state displaying the message

EXITING FROM

(Partition Label)

At any time pressing pound will take the user back to the

“Enter Your Access Code”message.

The Armed LED of the Global keypad will activate when

any activated partitions is armed. The last partition armed

from a Global keypad will display

EXIT DELAY

IN PROGRESS

and countdown timer if it is enabled. At the end of the exit

delay the Global keypad will return to the message

ENTER YOUR

ACCESS CODE

with the Armed LED on.

Audible entry delay will only be heard on the Global keypad

when all activated partitions are armed. Disarming any one

partition will stop the entry delay. If the disarmed partition

contains the zone that initiated Entry Delay, all other

partitions which contain the same zone will end as well.

The Trouble LED of the Global keypad will activate for all

troubles, including fire zones that belong to just one

partition. The user must enter a valid access code and then

loan the keypad to their partition. From here the user can

enter [✱] [2] to view the trouble, if it belongs to their

partition.
