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.

Step 3: Wiring the Keybus
(Section 2.3)
WiretheKeybustoeachofthemodulesfollowingtheguidelines
provided in Section 2.3 of this manual.
Step 4: Zone Wiring
(Section 2.8)
You must power down the control panel to complete all zone
wiring.PleaserefertoSection2.8whenconnectingzonesusing
normallyclosedloops,singleEOLresistors,doubleEOLresistors,
Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming zones.
Step 5: Complete Wiring
(Section 2.2)
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone
line connections, and ground connections following the
guidelines provided in Section 2.2 (“Terminal Descriptions”).
Step 6: Power up the Control
Once all zone and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the
control panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive
terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the AC.
Connect the battery before connecting the AC.
The panel will not power up on the battery
connection alone.
Step 7: Keypad Assignment
(Section 2.5)
In order for keypads to be properly supervised, each must be
assignedtoadifferentslot.Pleasefollowtheguidelinesprovided
in Section 2.5 when assigning keypads.
Step 8: Supervision (
Section 2.6
)
The supervision of every module by the panel is automatically
enabled upon power up. Please verify that all modules appear
on the system according to the instructions in Section 2.6.
Step 9: Programming the System
(Sections 4 and 5)
Section4explainshowtoprogramthepanel.Section5contains
a complete description of the various programmable features,
which options are available and how they function. The
ProgrammingWorksheetsshouldbefilledoutcompletelybefore
attempting to program the system.
Step 10: Testing the System
The panel must be thoroughly tested to ensure that all features
and functions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
Battery Connection
A 12V 4Ah rechargable battery is used as a backup source of
power in the event of an AC power failure. The battery also
provides additional current when the panel’s demands exceed
the power output of the transformer, such as when the panel is
in alarm.
The High Current Charge/Standard Battery Charge option
(section [701], option [7]) allows you to choose between a high
current battery charge and the standard battery charge rate.
Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is
complete. Connect the battery before connecting
the AC.
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.
AC Terminals – AC
The panel requires a 16.5 volt, 1.5 VA transformer. Connect the
transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the
transformer to these terminals.
Thepanelcanbeprogrammedtoacceptapowerlinefrequency
of either 50Hz AC or 60Hz AC in programming section [701],
option [1].
Do not connect the transformer until all other
wiring is complete
.....
Auxiliary Power Terminals – AUX+ and AUX-
Theseterminalsprovideupto550mAofadditionalcurrentat12
VDC for devices requiring power. Connect the positive side of
any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal, the negative
sidetoAUX-(ground).TheAUXoutputisprotected.Thismeans
that if too much current is drawn from these terminals (such as
awiring short),the panelwill temporarilyshutoff theoutput until
the problem is corrected.
Bell Output Terminals – BELL+ and BELL-
These terminals provide up to 700 mA of continuous current at
12VDC for powering bells, sirens,strobesor other warning-type
equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm warning
device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. Please note that
the Bell output is protected: if too much current is drawn from
these terminals (such as a wiring short), the Bell PTC will open.
Three amps can be drawn for short periods only.
The Bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning devices are
in use, connect a 1000Ωresistor across BELL+ and BELL– to
prevent the panel from displaying a trouble condition. For more
information,pleaserefertoSection3.4(“[✱][2]TroubleDisplay”).
Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, GRN
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with modules
and vice versa. Each module has four Keybus terminals that
must be connected to the four Keybus terminals on the panel.
For more information, see Section 2.3 (“Keybus Operation and
Wiring”).

G E T T I N G S T A R T E D
4
Programmable Output Terminals – PGM1 and
PGM2
Each PGM output is designed so that when activated by the
panel, the terminal will switch to ground.
PGM1 can sink up to 300mA of current.
Connect the positive side of the LED or
buzzer to AUX+, the negative side to
PGM1. If more than 300 mA of current are
required, a relay must be used. Please
study PGM wiring in the accompanying
diagram.
PGM2 operates similarly to PGM1.
However,PGM2 can only sink up to50mA
of current. For a list of the programmable
output options, please see Section 5.11
“PGM Output Options.”
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z4
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device be
connected to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices to a
single zone, however, is possible. For zone wiring specifics,
please see Section 2.8 (“Zone Wiring”).
Telephone Connection Terminals –
TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is required for central station communication
or downloading, connect an RJ-31X telephone jack in the
following manner:
For proper operation, no other telephone equipment
should be connected between the control panel and
the telephone company facilities
.
Do not connect the
alarm panel communicator to telephone lines
intended for use with a fax machine.These lines may
incorporate a voice filter which disconnects the line
if anything other than fax signals are detected,
resulting in incomplete transmissions
.
2.3 Keybus Operation and Wiring
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with all
connected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and black
(AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the yellow
(YEL)andgreen(GRN)terminalsareclockanddatarespectively.
The four Keybus terminals of the panel must be
connected to the four Keybus terminals or wires
of all modules.
The following restrictions apply to Keybus wiring:
• Keybus should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad (0.5mm);
two pair twist is preferred.
• The modules should be home-run to the panel but can be
connected in series or T-tapped.
• AnymodulecanbeconnectedanywherealongtheKeybus.You
do not need to run a separate Keybus wire for keypads, etc.
• No module can be more than 1,000'/305m (in wire length)
from the panel.
• Shielded wire should not be used.
Example of Keybus Wiring
NOTE:
Module (A) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/305m of

Supervisionisenabledatalltimessothatthepanelcanindicate
a trouble if a module is removed from the system.
To check on which modules are currently connected and
supervised, enter programming section [903] from installer’s
programming. The LCD keypad will allow you to scroll through
the display of connected modules. A connected module which
does not show as being present will appear as a trouble
condition and the Trouble light on the keypad will turn ON. This
condition may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
• the module is not connected to the Keybus
• there is a Keybus wiring problem
• the module is more than 1,000'/305m from the panel
• the module does not have enough power
For more information regarding module supervision troubles,
please refer to Section 3.4 (“[✱] [2] Trouble Conditions”).
2.7 Removing Modules

Thepanelwillberesettorecognize
and supervise all existing modules on the system.
2.8 Zone Wiring
For a complete description of the operation of all zone types,
please refer to Section 5.2 (“Zone Programming”).
There are several different ways in which zones may be wired,
depending on which programming options have been selected.
The panel can be programmed to supervise normally closed, End
of Line, or Double End of Line loops. Please refer to the following
diagramstostudyeach typeofindividually supervisedzonewiring.
Any zone programmed for Fire or 24 Hour Supervi-
sory must be wired with a single End of Line (EOL)
resistor regardless of the type of zone wiring
supervision selected for the panel (section [013]:
[1] -[2]). See Section 5.2“Zone Programming.”
If you change the zone supervision options from
DEOL to EOL or from NC to DEOL (section [013],
options [1] or [2]), you should power down the
system completely, and then power it back up. If
you do not, the zones may not work correctly.
Normally Closed (NC) Loops
To enable normally closed loops, programming section [013],
option [1] must be ON.
This option should only be selected if Normally
Closed (NC) detection devices or contacts are
being used
.....
Single End Of Line (EOL) Resistors (5600Ω)
To enable panel detection of single end of line resistors,
programming section [013], options [1] and [2] must be OFF.
This option should be selected if either Normally
Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) detection
devices or contacts are being used
.
Double End of Line (DEOL) Resistors
Double End of Line resistors allow the panel to determine if the
zone is in alarm, tampered or faulted.
To enable panel detection of double end of line resistors,
programming section [013], option [1] must be OFF and option
[2] must be ON.
If the Double EOL supervision option is enabled,
all hardwire zones on the main panel must be
wired for Double EOL resistors, except for Fire
and 24 Hour Supervisory zones.
Do not wire DEOL resistors on keypad zones.
Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones or 24
Hour Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones
to keypad zone terminals if the DEOL supervision
option is selected.

activate the RING terminal on the
LINKS circuit board. The zone programmed as LINKS Answer
always
requires a single EOL resistor (5600Ω).
Wire the LINKS Answer zone according to the above diagram.
The LINKS Answer zone is only required for
downloading to the panel via the LINKS.
When using the LINKS, BusyTone Detection must
not be used.
Keypad zones cannot be used for 24 Hour Super-
visory or LINKS Answer.
2.11 Keypad Zones
Each “z” keypad on the system has a zone input to which a
device- such as a door contact- can be connected. This saves
you from running wires back to the control panel for every
device.
To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic by removing the
screw at the bottom of the unit. Locate the five terminals on the
keypad circuit board. Connect the four Keybus wires from the
control panel: the red wire to R, the black to B, the yellow to Y
and the green to G.
Toconnectthezone,runonewiretotheZterminalandtheother
to B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply power
to the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and
the black wire to the B (negative) terminal.
Whenusingendoflinesupervision,connectthezoneaccording
to one of the configurations outlined in Section 2.8 “Zone
Wiring.” End of line resistors must be placed on the device
end of the loop, not at the keypad.

Keypad zones do not support DEOL resistors.
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be
assigned a zone number in Installer’s Programming.
First,ensurethatyouhaveenrolledallinstalledkeypadsintothe
desired slots. (See Section 2.5 “Keypad Enrollment.”)
Next, enter programming section [020] to assign the zones.
There are eight programming locations in this section, one for
each keypad slot. Enter a 2-digit zone number for each of the
keypad zones. This number must be entered in the location
correspondingtothekeypad to which each zone is connected.
Keypad zones 1-4 will replace zone terminals Z1-
Z4 on the control panel.
Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must
also program zone definitions and zone attributes.
(See also Section 5.4 “Assigning Keypad Zones”).

Keypad Commands
SECTION3
Useany system keypad toenter commands and/or programthe
PC585securitysystem.TheLEDkeypadusesfunctionandzone
indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. If you
have a PC1555RKZ keypad, the System light acts as a Trouble,
Memory, Program and Bypass indicator. Unlike other LED
keypads, these conditions will only be represented by the
System light. The LCD keypad provides a written description on
the liquid crystal display and uses function indicator lights to
communicate alarm status to the user.
The PC585 Instruction Manual provides basic directions for
arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and
performing user functions from the keypads. The following
sections provide additional details on these functions.
3.1 Arming and Disarming
Fora description of basic arming and disarming, please see the
PC585 Instruction Manual. For other methods of arming, please
refer to Section 3.4 (“[✱] [0] Quick Arm” and “[✱] [9] Arming
Without Entry Delay”) and Section 3.5 (“Function Keys”).
The Event Buffer will log “Armed in Stay Mode” or
“Armed in Away Mode” whenever the system is
armed.
Inan attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will
notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their system.
If a non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left open
attheendoftheexitdelay,theentrydelaywillbeginimmediately
andthe bell or siren will sound a steadyalarmfor the entry delay
period.At theend ofthe entrydelayperiod, ifthe systemhas not
been disarmed it will go into alarm. This feature can be turned
OFFin programming section [013],option[6]. (See section 5.17
“Arming / Disarming Options” for more information.)
3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming
Stayarmingallowstheusertoarmthesystemwithoutleavingthe
premises.Allzonesprogrammedasstay/awaywillbebypassed
when the user stay arms the system, so that the user does not
have to bypass interior zones manually. (See section 5.2 “Zone
Programming”.)
When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any
zones on the system have been programmed as stay/away
zones, the Bypass light will turn ON. The panel will then monitor
all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such as
designatedentry/exitdoors.Ifadelay zoneisnot violatedbythe
end of the exit delay, the panel will bypass all stay/away zones.
TheBypasslightwillremainONtoinformtheuserthattheinterior
zones have been automatically bypassed by the panel. If a
delay zone is violated during the exit delay, the system will arm
inAwaymodeandallstay/awayzoneswillbeactiveaftertheexit
delay expires.
Theuser can armthestay/away zones atanytime by enteringthe
[✱]
[1]keypadcommand(seeSection3.4“[✱][1]ZoneBypass”).
Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the
StayfunctionkeyfortwosecondsonthePC5508ZandLCD5500Z
keypads, if programmed by the installer. For more information
regardingStayarming,pleaseseeSection3.5(“FunctionKeys”).
3.3 Automatic Arming
The system can be programmed to Auto-Arm at a specific time
every day if it is in the disarmed condition. In order for the Auto-
Arm function to work properly, you must program the correct
Time of Day. For programming the clock and auto-arm times,
see Section 3.4 (“[✱]
[6] User Functions”).
When the system’s internal clock matches the Auto-Arm Time,
the panel will check the system status. If the system is armed,
the panel will do nothing until the next day at the Auto-Arm
Time, when it will check the system again. If the system is
disarmed at the auto-arm time, the panel will sound the buzzer
of all keypads for one minute. If the Bell Squawk During Auto
Arm option is enabled (section [014], option [2]), the bell will
squawkonceevery10secondswhilethesystemisauto-arming.
If a valid Access code is entered, Auto-Arming will be aborted.
If Auto-arm is cancelled, the number of the user
who cancelled the auto-arm will be logged in the
Event Buffer.
If no code is entered, the panel will auto-arm. If a zone is
violated, the panel will transmit a Partial Closing Reporting
Code –ifprogrammed –to indicateto thecentral stationthat the
system is not secure. If the zone is restored, the panel will add
the zone back into the system.
Auto arming can only be cancelled by entering a
valid access code at any keypad.

features and options and provides a summary of all
corresponding programming locations.
5.1 Programming Security Codes
There are three codes which can be programmed by the
installer in the Installer’s Programming function: the Master
code, the Installer’s code, and a Maintenance code. All other
accesscodescanbeprogrammedthroughthe[✱][5]command
(see Section 3.4).

5.2 Zone Programming
Alleightzonesareenabledbydefault.Unusedzonesshouldbe
disabled in programming section [202].
Section [001] will allow you to select how each of the zones you
use will operate. Each zone requires a two-digit code to be
programmed, which describes the zone definition. Select a
definition from the list below.
In addition, each zone has eight different attributes which may
be programmed in sections [101] to [108] (see Section 5.3 –
“Zone Attributes”).
Zone Definitions
[00] Null Zone
The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as
Null zones.
[01] Delay 1 Zone
This zone type, normally used for entry/exit doors, can be
violated during the exit delay time without causing an alarm.
Once the exit delay has expired, opening the zone will start the
entry delay timer. During the entry delay time, the keypad
buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system
should be disarmed. If the panel is disarmed before the entry
time expires, no alarm will be generated.
[02] Delay 2 Zone
The Delay 2 entry delay time can be set independently of Delay
1 in programming section [005] (System Times).
S E C T I O N 5
[03] Instant Zone
This zone type will cause an instant alarm if it is violated when
the panel is armed. Typically, this zone is used for windows,
patiodoorsorotherperimeterzones,andglassbreakdetectors.
[04] Interior Zone
This zone will not cause an alarm if violated during the entry
delay. If the zone is violated before the entry delay has begun,
it will cause an instant alarm. Typically, this zone is used for
interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.
[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone
This zone type works similarly to the Interior zone type, except
that it will be automatically bypassed under the following
conditions:
• When the panel is armed in the Stay Mode (see Section 3.5
“Function Keys”).
• When the panel is armed without entry delay (see Section 3.4
“[✱] [9] Arming Without Entry Delay”).
• When the panel is armed with an access code and a Delay
type zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay.
Theautomaticbypasspreventstheuserfromhavingtomanually
bypass interior type zones when arming at home. This zone is
typically used for interior protection devices, such as motion
detectors.
[06] Delay Stay/Away Zone
This zone type will operate similarly to Interior Stay/Away zones,
exceptthatitwillalwaysprovideanentrydelay.Typically,thiszone
is used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.
This zone option will help prevent false alarms since it always
provides an entry delay time for the user to turn off the panel.
Hardwire motion detectors covering entry/exit
doors that are using wireless transmitters must
be programmed as Delay Stay/Away. If not, the
panel may see the motion detector violation
before the entry/exit transmitter has time to
transmit to the receiver, causing a false alarm.
[07] Delayed 24 Hour Fire Zone
Do not wire Fire zones on keypad zone terminals
if the DEOL supervision option is enabled for the
panel (section [013], option [2]).
When this zone is violated, the alarm output will be immediately
activated (pre-alert) but the communicator will be delayed for
30 seconds. If the user presses any key on any keypad during
this delay, the alarm output and the communicator will be
delayed an additional 90 seconds, giving the user time to
correct the problem. If the zone is still violated after the 90
second delay, the panel will sound the alarm output and delay
the communicator for 30 seconds.
If the user does not press a key during the 30 second pre-alert,
the alarm output will latch and the panel will communicate the
alarm to the central station. The alarm will sound until the Bell
Cutoff time expires (Section [005] “System Times”), or until a
code is entered (see Section 5.13 “Siren”).
If a second Fire type zone is violated or if the Fire
keys are pressed during the delay period, the
panel will latch the alarm output and will immedi-
ately communicate the alarm.

P R O G R A M D E S C R I P T I O N S
15
AviolatedFirezonewillbedisplayedonallkeypadsandcanbe
delayed at any keypad. Typically this zone is used for latching
smoke detectors.
[08] Standard 24 Hour Fire Zone
Do not wire Fire zones on keypad zone terminals
if the DEOL supervision option is enabled for the
panel (section [013], option [2]).
When this zone is violated, the panel will immediately latch the
alarmoutput and communicatetothe central station.Thealarm
will sound until the Bell Cutoff time expires (Section [005]
“System Times”), or until a code is entered (see Section 5.13
“Siren”).
A violated Fire zone will be displayed on all keypads. Typically
this zone is used for pull stations.
[09] 24 Hour Supervisory Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or
disarmed,thepanel willreport tothecentralstation,and willlog
thezonealarmtotheEventBuffer.Thiszonegivesasilentalarm
by default.
Do not wire 24-Hour Supervisory zones on
keypad zone terminals.
[10] 24 Hour Supervisory Buzzer Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or
disarmed, the panel will immediately latch the keypad buzzer
until a valid access code is entered and will immediately
communicate to the central station.
[11] 24 Hour Burglary Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or
disarmed,the panel willimmediatelylatch the alarmoutputand
communicate to the central station. The alarm will sound until
the Bell Cutoff time expires (Section [005] “System Times”), or
until a code is entered (see Section 5.13 “Siren”).
[12] - [20]
The following zone definitions operate similar to the 24 Hour
Burglary except for the System Event output type and the SIA
identifier:
[12] 24 Hour Holdup Zone - This zone gives a silent alarm by
default.
[13] 24 Hour Gas Zone
[14] 24 Hour Heat Zone
[15] 24 Hour Medical Zone
[16] 24 Hour Panic Zone
[17] 24 Hour Non-Medical Emergency Zone
[18] 24 Hour Sprinkler Zone
[19] 24 Hour Water Flow Zone
[20] 24 Hour Freezer Zone
[21] 24 Hour Latching Tamper
If this zone is violated, the installer must enter Installer’s
Programming before the system can be armed.
Wireless zones should not be programmed as
zone types [22] - [24].
[22] Momentary Keyswitch Arm Zone
Momentary violation of this zone will alternately arm/disarm the
system.
[23] Maintained Keyswitch Arm Zone
When this zone is violated, the system will arm. When this zone
is secured, the system will disarm.
[24] LINKS Answer Zone
Downloading can be performed via the LINKS1000 Cellular
Communicator(ifused)whentheconventionaltelephonelineis
disconnected. If this operation is desired, connect the RING
terminaloftheLINKS1000toaLINKSAnswerzone(seeSection
2.11 “LINKS Zone Wiring”). Refer to the LINKS1000 Installation
Manual for more information.
Do not wire LINKS Answer zones on keypad zone
terminals.
[25] Interior Delay Zone
This zone type is normally used with motion detectors and has
a standard exit delay time.
If the panel is Away armed (a delay zone is violated during the
exit delay, or the Away function key is used), the Interior Delay
zone will work the same as the Interior zone [04].
If the panel is Stay armed (a delay zone is NOT violated during
theexitdelay,the Staykeyisused,or[✱][9]isused forarming),
a violation of the zone will initiate Entry Delay 1.
[87] Delayed 24 Hour Fire (Wireless)
This zone type operates the same as [07] Delayed 24 Hour Fire
Zone and must be used if the smoke detector is wireless.
[88] Standard 24 Hour Fire (Wireless)
Thiszonetypeoperatesthesameas[08]Standard24HourFire
Zone and must be used if the smoke detector is wireless.

5.3 Zone Attributes
All zones, with the exception of 24 Hour and Fire,
will provide an exit delay.
Attributes for Fire Zones should never be
changed from the default settings.
Additional zone attributes can be programmed to customize
the operation of a zone for a specific application. The following
attributes are programmable for each zone:
• Audible/Silent– Thisattributedetermineswhetherornotthe
zone will activate the alarm output.
• Pulsed / Steady – This attribute determineswhetherthe alarm
output will be steady or will pulse on and off every second.
• Activate Chime – This attribute determines whether or not
thezonewillactivatethechimefeature(seeSection3.4–“[✱]
[4] Door Chime On/Off”).
• BypassEnable– Thisattributedetermineswhetherornotthe
zone can be manually bypassed (see Section 3.4 – “[✱] [1]
Bypassing and Reactivating Stay/Away Zones”).
• Force Arm Enable – Thisattribute determineswhetheror not
the system can be armed while a zone is violated. At the end
of the exit delay, if this type of zone is violated, it will be
ignored by the panel. Once the zone is secured, it will be
monitored by the system. This zone attribute, for example,
will allow the user to arm the system with the garage door
open. Later, when the door is closed, it will be armed along
withtherest ofthe system.Do notprogram thisattribute for
24Hr zones.
• Swinger Shutdown Enable – This attribute determines
whetherornotthepanelwillshutdownthecommunicatorand

5.5 Communicator – Dialing
If the Communicator Disable option is selected, the panel will
not attempt to call central station. If communication is enabled,
the panel will attempt to call central station when an event with
avalidReportingCodeoccurs(SeeSection5.8“Communicator
– Reporting Codes”).
The Communicator Call Direction options are used to select
which telephone number the panel will dial when an event
occurs.
If the DTMF Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial using
DTMF (touch tone). If the Switch to Pulse Dial option is
enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth
attempt to call the central station. When this option is disabled,
the panel will always dial using DTMF. If DTMF Dialing is
disabled, the panel will always pulse dial.
WhentheForceDialingoptionisenabled,thepanelwilldialout
regardless of the presence of dial tone. Each dialing attempt
will follow this pattern:
a)the panel pick up the telephone line and search for dial
tone for 5 seconds
b)if no dial tone is found, the panel will hang up and wait for
20 seconds
c)the panel will pick up the telephone line again and search
for a dial tone for 5 seconds
d)the panel will then dial regardless of the presence of dial
tone
Ifthereisnoinitialhandshakerecognizedwithin40secondsthe
panel will then hang up the line.
If the Force Dialing option is disabled, each attempt will still
follow the above pattern, except that the panel will not dial in
step d if no dial tone is detected.
The Delay Between Dialing Attempts timer adds a delay
before the next call is dialed.
If the Busy Tone Detection option is enabled, the panel will
hang up after detecting busy tone for 5 seconds and will redial
after the amount of time programmed in the Delay Between
Dialing Attempts section.
Maximum Dialing Attempts determinesthe maximumnumber
of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the central
stationbeforeindicatingaFailuretoCommunicate(FTC)trouble
condition. The 3rd Telephone Number can be used to back up
the 1st in this situation
.
(see Section 5.7 “Communicator –
Telephone Numbers”). If a later communication attempt is
successful, the FTC reporting code(s) programmed in section
[351] will be transmitted along with the unreported events from
an earlier unsuccessful communication.
When Bell on FTC when Armed is enabled in programming
section [702], option [8], an FTC during the armed period will
soundanAudibleAlarmforthelengthofBelltime-outoruntilthe
system is disarmed. If FTC Trouble Only when Armed is
enabled, only the keypad buzzer will sound trouble beeps
every 10 seconds until a key is pressed.
Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of time
thepanel will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver. If the
panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call a
failed attempt, hang up and try again.
The Pulse Dialing Make/Break Ratio option can change the
Make/Breakratioto33/67fromtheNorthAmericanratioof40/60.
With ID Tone Enabled the panel will pulse a tone on the
telephone line to indicate that the panel is on the line.
The 2100Hz/1300Hz/ID Tone option selects the frequency of
the ID tone that is pulsed on the line.
Contact your local telephone company to confirm
which settings should be used.
