Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility
and convenience. The liquid crystal display (LCD) keypad guides you through each operation
with easy-to-understand prompts. With unique sound sequences, the keypad signals
faults and other indications of system status.
Read this manual carefully to become familiar with the features that have been
implemented on your system. All users of this system should be instructed in the features
available to them.
1.1 Using This Manual _______________________________________________________________
There are 4 possible types of users of an PC6010 security system. Each of the 4 user types
can access different levels of features, as described in section 6.
This manual describes how to use the features that are available only to Supervisor and
Master users. For information on Basic and Advanced user functions (which are also
available to Supervisor and Master users), please refer to the User's Guide.
Each user type has access to a different set of system functions. Each procedure indicates
which users will be able to access it, with a graphic similar to the following:
1.2 Understanding Your Security System ___________________________________________
Your security system is made up of a control panel, keypads, and various detectors and
sensors.
Control Panel
The control panel is the “brain” of your security system. It controls and monitors all the
keypads and sensors, and communicates with the central station (if remote monitoring is
turned on). The control panel will be mounted out of the way, in a utility closet or in a
basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses, and stand-by battery.
There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service professional to have
access to the control panel.
Keypads
You can access system functions with your keypad(s), described in the User's Guide.
Each keypad has a sounder. The keypad has a liquid crystal display (LCD) which shows
system messages. The keypad can send commands to the system and show the current
system status. Your installer will mount the keypad(s) inside your premises, close to the
entry/exit door(s).
S E C T I O N 1
About Your Security System

4
Zones and Areas
The security system has several zones (monitored areas). Each of these zones will be
connected to a sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). If a
sensor goes into alarm, the keypad displays a message (i.e. zone in alarm).
Your installer may have divided the system into different areas. Each area includes one or
more zones, and can be turned on and off independently of other areas. Your installer
should explain to you which areas have been programmed, and which zones belong to
which areas.
Access Codes
As a user of the system, you will be assigned a 4- or 6-digit access code. You can use your
access code to turn areas on and off, and to access other system functions.
Your access code may not allow you to use certain system functions. For instance, if your
code is only allowed to turn on area 1, you will not be able to turn on other areas. For
more information on access codes and how to program them, please see section 6.
1.3 Remote Monitoring _____________________________________________________________
The system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone lines to a
central station. If you accidentally initiate an alarm, immediately call the central station to
prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: Your installer must enable monitoring for it to work.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your
central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not
work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property
insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who
should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system operations. For
important warnings and cautions, please see inside the back cover.

5
Automatic arming (auto-arming) is when the system automatically turns on one or more
areas of the system at preset times. Your installer may have set up your system to
automatically arm at specific times.
All users can delay auto-arming for a pre-set period of time. Ask your installer how long
the automatic arming will be delayed. Supervisor and Master users can cancel auto-
arming until midnight of the same day.
Cancelling and Delaying Automatic Arming
Before the system begins automatically arming an area, the keypads will warn users in
the area by beeping continuously (this is the auto-arm warning). If you hear the auto-arm
warning, you can delay or cancel the automatic arming. Enter your code at an area keypad.
The keypad displays:
Automatic Arming
in Progress!
To cancel or delay the automatic arming, follow the procedure below starting at step 3.
To cancel or delay automatic arming before it starts, follow the procedure below from the
beginning.
NOTE: If none of your areas are set up for automatic arming, or if automatic arming is
already delayed or cancelled, or if the system is set up so that users cannot delay or cancel
automatic arming, the keypad will display "This Function is Not Available".
1. 12:00 2000/01/01
Enter Your Code From the start screen, enter your access code.
2. The keypad displays:
Do You Want To
Turn Areas On? Press until the keypad displays:

Using Access Cards
NOTE: This section only applies to systems that have card readers and the PC6820 access
control module installed. Talk to your installer for information regarding the access control
capabilities of your system.
If your system has access control capabilities, instruct your users on the use of their access
cards. All four types of users may use access cards.
Using Your Access Card
To gain access to an area via a door with an access card reader, present your access card
to the reader. Depending on the type of reader, this may mean "swiping" your card
through the reader, or just holding your card in front of the reader. The system will either
grant or deny you access to the protected area, depending on how your card has been
programmed.
Most access card readers will have a status light. This light will indicate your access status
once the card is presented. The light will appear according to the following conditions:
• Steady red light: The door is locked.
• Steady green light: The door is unlocked.
• Slowly flashing from red to green: The area is turned on.
• Flashing from red to green twice per second: The reader is waiting for a second card
to be swiped.
• Flashing from red to green three times per second: Access is denied.
Some access card readers also have audible indicators which beep under certain conditions.
The reader may beep when an access control door has been left open too long, or when
a door has been forced open.
Turning Areas On and Off Using an Access Card
You may be able to automatically turn your areas on and off using your access card. Ask
your installer if this feature has been enabled.
To turn an area on using an access card, ensure that the area is secured. Close all protected
doors and cease movement in areas covered by motion detectors. Swipe the access card
in the reader. Push the “Arm” button. The exit delay will begin.
To turn an area off, present the access card to the reader. The area may turn off, if the
system allows. If disarming is granted, the door will unlock. When you open the door, the
system will turn the area off.
To program access cards for your users, please see section 6.

Changing the Setup of Detectors
S E C T I O N 4
If you will need access to a protected area (i.e. a part of the premises covered by a detector)
while the system is armed, or if a detector is not working, you can either bypass or disable
the detector.
When you tell the system to bypass a detector, it will exclude the selected detector from
the armed areas the next time the system is armed. Bypassed detectors will not be able to
sound an alarm. The bypasses on the detectors are automatically cancelled each time the
system is disarmed. If you want the system to bypass the detectors again, you must set
the detectors to bypass before the next arming.
When you tell the system to disable a detector, it will exclude the detector from the
system until you turn it back on again. Disabled detectors will not be able to sound
alarms, tamper conditions, or faults.
NOTE: Bypassing and disabling detectors reduces your security protection. If you are
bypassing a detector because it is not working, call a service technician immediately so
that the problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order.

6.6 Programming a Code Schedule __________________________________________________
Code Schedule?: If you want access codes to work at only certain times, you can
assign a date schedule to each access code. A date schedule will include the start and end
times for each event, the days of the week the schedule will be active for and any holiday
groups the event will observe. Your installer can program custom schedules for you to
use. Ask your installation company for more information.
Enter the 2-digit number of the schedule you want to program.
Schedules 00 and 01
If you program date schedule 00, the code will be disabled (this schedule is never active).
If you program date schedule 01, the code will be always on (this schedule is always
active). By default, all codes are programmed for date schedule 01.

6.7 Programming a Card Access Level _______________________________________________
Edit Card Access: When your installation company programmed your system, they
may have set up access control doors with different levels of access. You can use access
levels to control who can enter areas of the system, and at what times.
Access levels will allow specific users to have access to areas of the system at various times
of the day. Each door may have multiple access levels assigned to it. Each access level
follows one date schedule. For information on which access levels have been assigned to
your access control doors, please contact your installation company.
For example, access level 02 is assigned to a date schedule that is active Monday to Friday,
from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The installer has assigned the front door to access level 02. If
you assign user 2 to access level 02, that user will only be able to enter the front door from
Monday to Friday, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
Users with access level 01 always have access to all doors. Users with access levels 02 - 63
will be allowed entry by the access door only during the times that the assigned date
schedule is active. Users with access level 00 will never be allowed entry by any of the
access control doors.
Enter the 2-digit number of the access level you want to program.
6.8 Enabling and Disabling Access Cards ____________________________________________
Card Options?: In order for a user's card to work on the system, it must be enabled.
New user cards are enabled by default. If you select Card Options, the keypad displays the
current status of the card, for example:
Card is Now then, Make the Card
Enabled Disabled?
To disable the card, press .
To leave the card enabled, press .
6.9 Assigning Areas to a User _______________________________________________________
Assign Areas?: Your installer has divided the system into areas. The system may contain
one or more areas. In order for an access code to function, you must program which areas
the code will be active on. If your system only has one area, you must activate the code for
area 1.
Supervisor users can only assign users to areas that the supervisor has access to (e.g. if the
supervisor has access to areas 1 and 2, they will only be able to assign users to areas 1 and
2.) Master users are always assigned to all areas.
When you select Assign Areas, the keypad displays (for example):
Area 1 >
Is Assigned? N To assign the area displayed, press .
To scroll to the next available area, press .
