close to the telephone line connection. Remove the printed
circuit board, the mounting hardware and the keypad from
the cardboard retainer inside the cabinet. Before attaching
the cabinet to the wall, press the four white nylon printed
circuit board mounting studs into the cabinet from the back.
Once the cabinet is mounted to the wall, pull all the cables
into the cabinet and prepare them for connection. Use a
meter to test the wiring for opens, shorts and grounds. Press
thecircuitboardontothewhitenylonmountingstuds.Complete
all wiring to the control panel before applying AC power or
connecting the battery.
Mounting the Keypad
Keypads should be located close to the designated “Entry-
Exit” door(s) and mounted at a height convenient for all
users.
NOTE: Complete all wiring to the control panel before
applying AC power or connecting the battery.
Auxiliary Power
Connection
Theauxiliarypowersupplycanbe
used to power keypads, motion
detectors and other devices that
require12VDC.SeetheFireZone
Wiring section for the connection
of 4-wire smoke detectors. The
total load for the auxiliary power
output must be calculated for all
devices connected across the
AUX +/- terminals and for devices connected between the
AUX + and PGM terminals. The output current cannot
exceed 475 mA.
PGM Terminal Connections
The PGM terminal is a switched
negative output which can be
controlled by various
programming options (See
Programming Guide Section
[24]). Devices controlled by the
PGM output must be connected
betweenthePGMterminal,which
is (-) and the Aux. (+) terminal.

Smoke detectors should be the latching type and have N.O.
alarm initiating contacts. Power wiring from the AUX + /
PGM terminals should be supervised using an RM-1 relay
after the last smoke detector. The RM-1 N.O. contacts
(closed with power applied) should be wired in series with
the alarm initiating end-of-line resistor so that should power
to the detector(s) fail, a fire loop trouble will be initiated.

Auto-Bypass/Home-Away Arming
If a correct access code is entered, and you do not
exit the
premises, the system will, at the end of the exit delay time,
arm with interior zones automatically bypassed if those
interior zones have been programmed as “Home-Away”
zones. The“Bypass”lightwillcomeON.(Seeprogramming
section [11], Zone Definitions for programming zones as
“Home-Away”).
This is a convenience feature for the user who wishes to
remain at home with the system armed. The user does not
have to manually bypass the interior zones.
Toreactivatetheinterior zones thathavebeenautomatically
bypassed, press [∗][1]. The “Bypass”light will go out. If the
bypassed zones were programmed as Home-Away with
delay, the “Bypass”light will go out after the delay. This
command is a quick method of fully arming the system
before going to bed and is useful for the user who has a
keypad outside the areas protected by the interior zones.
Arming Without Entry Delay
To eliminate the Entry Delay, arm the system using [∗][9],
[any valid access code]. An exit may be made as in normal
arming. The system will arm as described above in Auto-
Bypass/Home-Awayarmingwhetheranexitismadeornot.
The “Armed”light will flash to indicate that the system is
armed without the entry delay.
Disarming
Enter the premises through the designated entry-exit door.
The keypad sounder will be on as a reminder to disarm the
system. Go to the keypad and enter a valid access code. If
an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and
enter the code again. The “Armed”light will go out and the
sounderwillstop.Thecorrectaccesscodemustbeentered
before the entry time expires or the panel will go into alarm.
To change the entry time see Installer’s Programming
section [17].
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, upon
disarming the “Memory”light and the zone light(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the alarm will flash for two minutes.
Pressing the [#] key will stop the flashing, extinguish the
zone light(s) and return the panel to the ready mode. The
“Memory”light will stay on steady to indicate that an alarm
did occur during the last armed period. To view the zone(s)
that caused the alarm, see Alarm Memory Display [∗][3].
Zone Bypassing
[∗∗
∗∗
∗]+[1]
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. Use zone
bypassingwhenaccessisneededtopartofaprotectedarea
or if damage to contacts or wiring cannot be repaired
immediately. The panel can be armed with one or more
zones bypassed even if the zone(s) are open. The “Ready”
light will be ON and the “Bypass”light will be ON if a zone is
bypassed. A fire zone cannot
be bypassed.
If the “Bypass”light is ON when arming, use the [∗][1]
command to display the bypassed zones and ensure that
any zone displayed as being bypassed is intentionally
bypassed.
Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel
is disarmed.

and [P]anic keys provide the user with simple operation for
emergencysignalling.Allkeypadentriesaremadebypressing
one key at a time.
Master Code
AdefaultMasterCode “1234”is factoryprogrammedintothe
PC1510. The Master Code is used to arm and disarm the
panel, to reset the bells after an alarm, to program up to 5
additional codes using the [∗][5] command, and to enter
other user functions using the [∗][6] command. The panel
default program allows the user to change the Master Code.
The panel can be programmed, by the installer, so the user
cannot change the Master Code. See 2nd System Option
Code light 2.
2nd Master Code
AsecondMasterCodecanbeprogrammedintothePC1510.
This code can be changed by the installer only, and is useful
wheretherearemultiplepanelsinacomplex.The2ndMaster
Code may be used as a “Master Key”. The default 2nd
Master Code is blank.
Installer’s Programming Code
AdefaultInstaller’sProgrammingCode“1500”isprogrammed
intothePC1510.Usingthiscode and the [∗][8]command,the
installer can gain access to the system to enter panel program
information. This code can be changed by the installer.
Arming
Before arming the panel, close all protected doors and
windows and stop movement in areas covered by motion
detectors. If the “Trouble”light is on, check for the type of
trouble ([∗][2] command) and correct the fault condition. If
the “Bypass”light is on, insure that the zones bypassed are
bypassed intentionally, ([∗][1] command). If the “Ready”
light is not on, one or more zones are open. The system can
only be armed when the “Ready”light is ON. To arm, enter
a 4 digit access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad
sounder will beep. When the correct access code has been
entered the “Armed”light will come ON and the keypad will
beep 6 times. If the access code has been entered
incorrectly, the keypad will sound one long tone. Press the
[#] key and enter the access code again.
When the correct access code has been entered and the
“Armed”light is ON, exit through the designated entry/exit
door before the exit delay time expires. At the end of the
allowed exit time, all lights on the keypad will go out except
the “Armed”light. The “Bypass”light will be ON if a zone is
bypassed and if Show Bypassed Status While Armed is
programmed in section [31], zone light 4 ON.
See Installer’s programming section [∗][8] command for
instructions on changing the Exit Delay time.

NOTE: Any zone defined as 24 Hour Bell, 24 Hour Bell/
Buzzer, or 24 Hour Buzzer cannot be bypassed while that
zoneis violated. Tobypass a 24 hourzone, the zone mustbe
physically restored.
To Recall Bypassed Zones:
Enter [∗][1][9]
This command will recall the last zone or group of zones that
were bypassed. If the same group of zones are bypassed
regularly, the bypass recall feature can be used instead of
bypassing the zones individually.
Bypass Disable:
The PC1510 can be programmed by the installer to prevent
certain zones from being bypassed by the user. Lights for
these zones will not come ON in response to the bypass
command. See the Zone Bypass Mask instruction in the
installer programming section [16].
Trouble Conditions
[∗∗
∗∗
∗]+[2]
The PC1510 continuously monitors a number of trouble
conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the keypad
“Trouble”light will come ON and the buzzer will sound two
short beeps every 10 seconds. To silence the buzzer, press
the [#] key. The buzzer will stop but the “Trouble”light will
remain ON until the trouble condition is cleared. See the

PROGRAMMING GUIDE
Introduction
ThePC1510isfullyprogrammablefromthekeypadandusesan
EEPROM memory which can be reprogrammed thousands of
times.TheEEPROMmemorywillnotlosetheprogramdataeven
ontotallossofpower.Theessentialinformationwhichdefinesthe
operation of the control panel is stored in a section of the
EEPROM memory which is accessible using the Installer’s
Programming code or via downloading. If the Installer’s code
is forgotten, the EEPROM may be reset to the factory default
code. See Section [30], Reset to Factory Default.
Programming
With the panel in the disarmed mode, enter [∗][8][1500]. The
panel can only be programmed while it is in the disarmed
mode. The default installer’s code is 1500; the installer’s code
can be changed. See Section [20], New Installer’s Code.
Once the installer’s command is entered, the “Armed”light
will come ON steadily and the “Memory“, “Bypass”and
“Trouble”lights will flash. This indicates that the panel is
ready for programming. NOTE: If no key entry is made for
2 minutes, the panel will return to the Ready mode and the
completeinstaller’scommandwillhavetobeenteredbefore
programming can be resumed.
With the “Armed”light ON steadily, enter 2 digits for the
section you wish to program. The sections for the PC1510
panel range from [01] to [36], and each section can be
programmed independently. Section [00] is reserved for
binary programming which is normally done on instruction
from factory technical personnel.
Once the 2 digits for the section you wish to program are
entered,the “Armed”lightwill go OFF, the “Ready”lightwillgo
ON steadily, and the keypad sounder will beep 3 times. The
keypad is now ready to accept data for the selected section.
Mostsectionscontaingroupsof2-digitentriesandthekeypad
buzzer will beep twice after each 2-digit group is entered.
When the section is first entered, the first 4 zone lights will
indicate, in a binary format, the value of the first digit in that
section(seebinarydisplaysectiononthispage). Ifyouwish
to change that digit, simply enter the new digit from the
keypad. If you wish to keep that digit unchanged, you can
enter the same number or skip the digit by pressing the [F]
key. Once the first digit has been entered or skipped, the
4 zone lights will display the value of the second digit. After
each digit is entered or skipped, the zone lights show the
value of the next digit in the binary format.
When the required data for the section being programmed
iscompletelyentered, thekeypadsounderwill beepseveral
time and the “Armed”light will come ON to indicate that the
expected data has been entered.
At this point, while still in the program mode, enter the
section number for the next section to be programmed.
It is not necessary to program all 2-digit pairs in any given
section. Asectioncanbeenteredandselectivelyprogrammed
by going only to the digit(s) you wish to change and then
pressing[#]toreturntotheprogrammingmodewhereyoucan
then enter another section number for programming. For 2-
digit pairs, both digits must be programmed before pressing
the [#] key. Only the data entered before pressing the [#] key
will be changed in the EEPROM.

PROGRAMMING SECTIONS
[00] BinaryProgramming
This section is normally used upon instruction from factory
technicalpersonnelforspecializedprogrammingnotcovered
by the standard programming instructions.
[01] 1st Phone Number
This is the first telephone number the Communicator will dial.
See Section [25], Communicator Call Direction.
After entering section [01] for programming, enter the
telephonenumberthesamewayyouwoulddialitonatouch-
tone phone. Press [#] after the last digit to complete the
telephone number programming.
A second dial tone search, as required in a PBX system, can
beaddedbyprogrammingaHEX‘D’betweenthedigitsinthe
phonenumber where it is required. ToenteraHEX ‘D’, press
[∗] then [4] then [∗].
Instead of a dial tone search, a pause of 4 seconds can be
inserted between digits in a telephone number.
Enter [∗, 2, ∗] to dial a ‘∗’(HEX ‘B’)
Enter [∗, 3, ∗] for a 4-second pause (HEX ‘C’)
The total number of digits, including dial tone searches and
pauses, must not exceed 16. Remember, press [#] to
complete entry of the telephone number.
When complete, enter two digits to program another section.
[02] 1st Account Code
The 1st Account Code is always transmitted to the 1st
telephone number to identify the customer. Enter a 4-digit
number. If the HEX digits ‘A’to ‘F’are required, remember
to enter [∗] before and after the digit entry.
Where a zero is required in the account code, enter HEX ‘A’
(∗, 1, ∗) to transmit 10 pulses which will be interpreted as a
zero by the monitoring station receiver.
Ifa3-digitcodeisrequired,asin3/1formats, enter [0] as the LAST
digit. The[0]representsanulldigitwherenopulsesaretransmitted.
[03] 2nd Phone Number
This is the second telephone number to which the
communicatorwilldial. See[01]forprogramminginstructions.
[04] 2nd Account Code
The second account code is always transmitted to the 2nd
telephone number. See [02] for programming instructions.
[05] to [10] Reporting Codes
These sections are used to program the communicator
reporting codes. A reporting code is transmitted along with
the account code with each transmission. If the reporting
codes are not programmed, no transmission will be sent
when an event takes place (i.e. alarm, restoral, opening /
closing,trouble,etc.). Topreventatransmissionfrombeing
sent for any event in the following sections, leave it
unprogrammed or enter [00] as the reporting code.
Section[05]and[06]eachhave6reportingcodes. Sections
[07], [08] and [10] each have 7 reporting codes, while section
[09] has 8 reporting codes. Once a section is entered, the
systemexpects a series of2-digitnumbers to be entered. The
keypad beeps twice and the “Armed”light flashes after each

12
[07] Closing (Arming) Reporting Codes
Partial Closing Reporting Code
Reportingcodes1to6areusedtoidentifyclosingsforaccess
codes1to6. Ifpartialclosingisidentifiedinsection[14],then
alarmcodesformanuallybypassedzoneswillbetransmitted
whenthesystemis closedwithoneormore zonesbypassed.
When transmitting in 4/2, 3/1 or any other of the extended
formats, see section [05] above. The 6 closing codes are
programmed as follows:
[C1], [C2], [C3], [C4], [C5], [C6]
Where the first digit HEX ‘C’represents a closing signal and
the second digit represents the user access code which was
used to arm the system (HEX ’C’could be any other number
depending on what is used at the monitoring station).
The closing code transmission takes place after the exit
delay time. Therefore, if the system is armed and disarmed
before the expiry of the exit time, no closing transmission will
take place.
The partial closing code, if used, is transmitted in tandem
with the regular closing code to identify the closing as a
partial closing.
When the system has been armed using the Quick-Arm
command [∗][0] or using the Auto-Arm feature, access
code #1 will be transmitted.
[08] Opening (Disarming) Reporting
Codes After Alarm Reporting Code
The first 6 reporting codes correspond to the 6 user access
codes. Whenthesystemisdisarmedusingoneoftheaccess
codes, the corresponding reporting code in this section is
transmitted.
See section [07] above for examples of reporting code
programming.
If the After Alarm Code is programmed, that code will be
transmitted to the monitoring station on opening if an alarm
occurred during previous armed period. This feature is
useful for installations where openings and closings are not
reported normally, but it is desired to have a report to the
monitoringstationonopeningifanalarmdidoccurduringthe
previous armed period. This feature allows the monitoring
station to know when the user is on the premises and
available to receive a report about alarms while the system
was closed.
[09] Priority Alarms and Restorals
These reporting codes are used by the communicator to
transmit the following list of troubles, alarms and restorals.
See section [05] as a guide for programming.
•Fire loop trouble.
•Keypad [P]anic alarm.
•Keypad [F]ire alarm.
•Keypad [A]uxiliary alarm.
•Fire loop trouble restore.
•Keypad [P]anic restore.
•Keypad [F]ire restore.
•Keypad [A]uxiliary restore.
Transmissionforoperationofthe[F],[A]and[P]keyswillonly
takeplaceiftheappropriatesectionsin[09]areprogrammed
with a reporting code.
[10] Maintenance Alarms and Restorals
These reporting codes are used by the communicator to
transmitthefollowinglistofalarmsandrestorals. Seesection
[05] as a guide to programming.
•Low battery alarm.
•AC failure alarm.
•Fuse failure alarm.
•Low battery restore.
•AC failure restore.
•Fuse failure restore.
•Automatic Test Code
Test code is not transmitted if periodic downloading is
selected, section [14], light 3. For Automatic Test Code
Reporting, the time between reports (in days) must be
entered in section [17] and the time of day for the report
must be entered in section [19].
[11] Zone Definitions
As in the reporting codes sections, once this section is
entered, 6 2-digit numbers are required. Each 2-digit
number entered defines how a zone will operate.
Zone Definitions Digit #1
The first digit determines whether the zone will cause a silent
alarmoranaudiblealarmandwhetherthezoneresponsewill
be fast or slow. Loop response time can be programmed in
section[17]andcan besetfrom10msto 990ms Thefactory
default loop response time is 500 ms. If set at fast, the loop
response time is 10 ms, and if set at slow, the loop response
time is 500 ms or whatever time is set in section [17].
Digit # 1 Summary
[0] = slow & audible
[1] = slow & silent
[2] = fast & audible
[3] = fast & silent
Zone Definitions Digit #2
Digit #2 determines the zone type, [0] through [8], as
described below.
[0] Standard Delay Loop has an entry and exit delay and is
normallyusedforentry/exitdoors.Theexitdelaystartsas
soonasthepanelisarmed.Theloopmaybe opened and
closed during the delay time without causing an alarm.
Aftertheexitdelaytimehas expired, openingtheloopwill
starttheentry delaytimer.Duringtheentrydelaytime,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.
The default times for this type of loop are a 30 second
entry delay and a 120 second exit delay. The entry and
exitdelaysmaybeindependentlyprogrammedinsection
[17] for periods from 001 second to 255 seconds. All
loopsprogrammed as type [0] willhavethe entry and exit
delaysasprogrammedinsection[17]orthedefaulttimes
if section [17] is not programmed.
[1] Instant Loop is normally used for door and window
contacts and has the standard exit delay but is instant
when opened after the exit delay expires. The exit delay
will be the default time of 120 seconds or the time as
established in programming section [17].

13
[2] InteriorLoop isnormallyusedwithinteriormotiondetectors
andhas the standard exitdelaytime. The loop alsohasthe
standard entry delay time provided that a delay loop has
been tripped first. If the premises are entered without
coming through a “delay”entrance, and a type [2] loop is
tripped, an immediate alarm will be generated.
[3] Interior Home-Away Loop operates the same as the
type [2] loop with the following exception. If the system is
armed and the delay loop is NOT tripped during the exit
delay time, the type [3] loop will be bypassed. Instead of
the interior portion of an interior Home-Away loop, a
Home-Away loop can have a delay equal to the standard
entry and exit delay when section [32], light 3 is ON. This
will affect all Home-Away zones when they are not
bypassed by [∗][1][∗][9] arming, or by arming and not
leaving the premises. If Home-Away zones are
automatically bypassed or [∗][9] arming bypassed and
the user then enters [∗][1], the Home-Aways will then
have a delay.
[4] 24 Hour Bell Loop is active atalltimesandwillcreatean
alarm if the panel is armed or disarmed. This loop will
always activate the bell/siren output.
[5] 24 Hour Bell/Buzzer operates as the type [4] except the
bell/sirenoutputisactivatedonlywhenthepanelisarmed
and only the keypad buzzer is activated while the panel
is disarmed.
[6] 24 Hour Buzzer operates as the type [4] except only the
buzzer will be activated in the armed or disarmed mode.
[7] AuxiliaryDelayLoop operatesthesameasthetype[0]
loop except the entry/exit times can be independently
set in section [18]. This loop type is useful when a loop
with an entry and/or exit time is required that is different
from the standard times as established for type [0]
zones in section [17]. If section [32], light 5 is ON it will
enablethesystemtobearmedevenif the auxiliary delay
loopis open (“Ready”lightON).Also, the system canbe
armed with the auxiliary delay loop closed and then it
can be opened before the auxiliary exit delay has
expired. In both cases the auxiliary delay loop will not
become active until both the auxiliary exit delay has
expired and the loop is closed.
[8] Fire Loop Although a common fire signal is reported,
anynumber of the 6zonesmay be programmed asa fire
loop. A fire loop is a supervised (N.O. alarm initiating
contacts),end-of-lineresistorcircuitdesignedto accept
latching 4-wire smoke detectors. See the fire circuit
installation drawing.
On alarm, fire loop shorted, the bell / siren will sound
using the temporal fire pattern or will pulse to indicate
that a fire zone has been activated. Transmission by the
digital communicator is delayed 30 seconds. If the
alarm is acknowledged before the 30 second delay has
expired, pressing the [#] key will silence the alarm and
abortthetransmission. IfthealarmisNOTacknowledged
within the 30 second period, transmission will proceed
and cannot be aborted. If the alarm has been silenced
and all smoke detectors are not restored to normal, the
alarm will re-sound after 90 seconds; 30 seconds after
that, the communicator will transmit. If the alarm re-
sounds,it may againbesilenced by pressing the[#] key
andthecommunicatortransmissionwillbeabortedifthe
alarm is silence within the 30 second transmission delay
period. Temporal fire pattern is:
0.5 sec. ON, 0.5 sec. OFF,
0.5 sec. ON, 0.5 sec. OFF,
0.5 sec. ON, 1.5 sec. OFF.
To restore the smoke detectors to normal, clear all
products of combustion from the detectors and perform
a reset by pressing the [∗] then [7] keys. See section
[24] for programming the PGM terminal for smoke
detector reset. Pressing [∗][7] will remove power from
the smoke detectors for 5 seconds; if the detectors are
clearofsmoke,they willreturntonormal. Ifthedetectors
still have smoke in them, the alarm will re-sound and the
sequence described above will repeat.
For an open on any loop programmed for fire, the
“Trouble”lightwillcome ONandthekeypad sounderwill
beep every 10 seconds. The keypad trouble buzzer will
sound and the “Trouble”light will come ON regardless
of whether the panel is armed or disarmed. The
communicator will transmit the trouble condition if
programmed in section [09]. The audible trouble
indication may be silenced by pressing the [#] key. The
“Trouble”light will only go OFF when all the fire loop
troubles are cleared. To determine the type of trouble,
press [∗][2].

[17] System Times
There are 6 system times which can be programmed in this
section, and each entry requires a 3-digit number. Do not
press the [#] key during data entry.
[1] Entry delay time (001 to 255 seconds) This value
determines the standard Entry Delay time. The factory
default entry time is 30 seconds. See Section [11] for
zone definitions.
[2] Exit delay time (001 to 255 seconds) This value
determines the standard Exit Delay time. The factory
default exit time is 120 seconds. For zone definitions,
see Section [11].
[3] Bell cut-off time (001 to 255 minutes) This value
determines the time the bell / siren will sound before
automatically turning off. The factory default bell cut-off
time is 4 minutes.
[4] AC fail transmission delay (001 to 255 minutes) This
value determines the length of time before the
communicator will transmit an AC failure report. The
factory default time is 30 minutes.
[5] “Slow” zone response time (001 to 255 ×10 ms) This
value determines the “slow”zone response time and
provides times from 10 ms to 2550 ms. The factory
default“slow”zoneresponsetimeis500ms. NOTE: The
“fast”zone response time is fixed at 10 ms. See Section
[11] Zone Definitions.
[6] Test transmission cycle time (001 to 255 days) This
value determines the frequency, in days, of the test
transmission either via the communicator or by calling
the downloading computer. The factory default setting
is 30 days. See Section [14] 3rd System Option Code,

Communications Compatibility
All these communication formats are compatible with the
SilentKnightmodelSK9000andAdemcomodel685receivers.
10 BPS and 20 BPS Formats
10 BPS is the standard slow format used on Silent Knight /
Ademco receivers. DATA = 1900 Hz; KISSOFF = 1400 Hz;
SPEED = 10 baud
20 BPS is the standard fast format used on the DCI / Franklin
/ Sescoa and Vertex receivers. DATA = 1800 Hz; KISSOFF
= 2300 Hz; SPEED = 20 baud

16
Radionics Format
For conventional Radionics 3/1 format, the communications
mode should be set on either Radionics rounds [B] or
Radionics parity [C]. The extended version of the Radionics
formatisnormallyused. Thefollowingguidelinesareprovided
to help in configuring the PC1510 for Radionics format.
1. The customer account code must be only 3 digits with a
zero making up the 4th digit (i.e. Enter 1230 to program
an account code of 123).
2. The zone alarm reporting codes must all be single digit
numerical codes with no extended 2nd round being sent
(i.e. Zone 1 = 10, Zone 2 = 20... Zone 6 = 60). The zero
in the 2nd digit position tells the PC1510 not to send an
extended round.
3. All other non-alarm reporting codes must be set up to
send an extended 2nd round. The 1st digit of the
reporting code is used to identify the event while the 2nd
or extended digit is used to associate the event with a
particular item (i.e. A reporting code of E3 means restore
zone 3. E = restore, 3 = zone 3).
4. The following is a list of 1st digit identifiers that should be
used with the Radionics format.
Restorals “E”
i.e. E3 = restore zone 3
Openings “B”
i.e. B2 = opening by user 2
Closings “C”
i.e. C4 = closing by user 4
Troubles “F”
i.e. F5 = trouble from source 5
Miscellaneous “D”
i.e. D1 = partial closing
[24] Programmable Output Options
(PGM Terminal)
The PGM output can be programmed in this section to
operate in response to various panel operations. The output
pulse connects the PGM terminal to the negative power rail.
[01] Ground Start Pulse
This option provides a 2-second output pulse before
dialling begins to obtain the dial tone on Ground Start
telephone equipment.
[02] Utility Output, no Access Code
When activated by entering the [∗][7] command, the
PGM output will go low for 5 seconds and the keypad
buzzer will sound.
[03] Utility Output, any Access Code
The same as [02], except the command is [∗][7] [any
valid access code].
[04] 5-SecondResetPulse
Whenthisoptionisselected,thePGMoutputisnormally
low. That is, it is just the reverse of all other options
which are normally high and go low when activated.
This option is normally used as the negative return for
power to 4-wire smoke detectors (positive comes from
the AUX + terminal). To activate this output (to reset
smoke detectors), enter the [∗][7] command. The
PGM terminal will go high (open circuit), and thus
remove power from the devices connected. The
keypad buzzer will sound for the 5-second period.
[05] Courtesy Pulse
This option provides an output which follows the entry
andexittimes. Itcanbeusedtoturnonacourtesylight
near the exit door for the duration of the entry / exit
times.
[06] Keypad Buzzer Follow Mode
The PGM output will go low as long as the keypad
buzzerisONfor“24Hour Buzzer Zone”, “Door Chime”,
“Entry Delay”and “Auto-Arm Alert”.
[07] System Status (Armed / Disarmed)
The PGM output switches to and remains at ground as
long as the panel is armed. The output goes high
