WARNING Please Read Carefully
1RWHWR,QVWDOOHUV
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.
6\VWHP)DLOXUHV
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however,
involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm sys-
tem 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 fea-
tures. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effec-
tive 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 fluctuations
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 con-
ditions 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 rea-
sons, 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 resi-
dence 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 warn-
ing 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 installation
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, ceil-
ings, 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 effectiveness
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 appli-
ances, 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 pro-
tected 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 func-
tion 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 test-
ing 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, consoles, 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 sys-
tem 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.

provided in Section 2.5 when assigning keypads.
Step 8: Supervision (Section 2.6)
The supervision of each 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 & 5)
Section 4 explains how to program the panel. Section 5 con-
tains a complete description of the various programmable fea-
tures, which options are available and how they function. Fill
out the Programming Worksheets completely before attempt-
ing to program the system.
Step 10: Testing the System
Test the panel thoroughly to ensure that all features and func-
tions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
Battery Connection
A 12V 4Ah rechargeable 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.
127('RQRWFRQQHFWWKHEDWWHU\XQWLODOORWKHUZLULQJLVFRP
SOHWH&RQQHFWWKHEDWWHU\EHIRUHFRQQHFWLQJWKH$&
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.
The +LJK&XUUHQW6WDQGDUG%DWWHU\&KDUJH option (section
[701], option [7]) allows you to choose between a high current
battery charge and the standard battery charge rate.
Enable the $XWRPDWLF %DWWHU\ &KHFN option to have the

AC Terminals – AC
The panel requires a 16.5VAC, 40VA transformer. Connect the
transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the
transformer to these terminals.
The panel can be programmed to accept a power line fre-
quency of either 50Hz AC or 60Hz AC in programming section
[701], option [1].
127('RQRWFRQQHFWWKHWUDQVIRUPHUXQWLODOORWKHUZLULQJLV
FRPSOHWH
Auxiliary Power Terminals – AUX+ and AUX-
These terminals provide up to 550 mA of additional current at
12 VDC for devices requiring power. Connect the positive side
of any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal, the nega-
tive side to AUX- (ground). The AUX output is protected. This
means that if too much current is drawn from these terminals
(such as a wiring short), the panel will temporarily shut off the
output until the problem is corrected.
Bell Output Terminals – BELL+ and BELL-
These terminals provide up to 700 mA of continuous current at
12 VDC for powering bells, sirens, strobes or other warning-
type equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm warn-
ing 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, please refer to section 3.4 “[*] Commands”
on page 7.

Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, GRN
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with mod-
ules 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 Opera-
tion and Wiring”.
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 accompany-
ing diagram.
PGM2 operates similarly to
PGM1. However, PGM2 can
only sink up to 50mA of cur-
rent. For a list of the program-
mable output options, see
section 5.11 “PGM Output
Options” on page 19.
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z6
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device be con-
nected 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” on page 5.
Telephone Connection Terminals – TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is required for central station communica-

QHFWHGWRWKHIRXU.H\EXVWHUPLQDOVRUZLUHVRIDOOPRGXOHV
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.
• Any module can be connected anywhere along the Key-
bus. 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.
([DPSOHRI.H\EXV:LULQJ
NOTE:
Module (A) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/305m
of wire from the panel.
Module (B) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/305m
of wire from the panel.
Module (C) is NOT wired
correctly as it is further
than 1,000'/305m from the panel, in wire distance.
2.4 Current Ratings – Modules and
Accessories
In order for the PC1565 system to operate properly, the power
output capabilities of the main control and the expansion
devices must not be exceeded. Use the data presented below
to ensure that no part of the system is overloaded and cannot
function properly.

mine the maximum current requirements for each device—
during activation or alarm—and include the proper values for
loading calculations. Connected devices must not exceed
system capabilities during any possible operational mode.
2.5 Keypad Assignment
There are eight available addresses for keypads. LED key-
pads by default are always assigned to address 1. LCD5500Z
keypads are always assigned to address 8. You will need to
assign each keypad to its own address (1 to 8). Keypad
assignment is required, as it tells the panel which addresses
are occupied. The panel can then generate a fault when a
keypad supervisory is not present.

How to Assign Keypads
Do the following at each keypad installed on the system:
1. Enter [*][8][installer’s code] to go to installer programming
2. Enter [000] for Keypad Programming

Getting Started: 2.6 Supervision
3. Enter [0] for Address Assignment
4. Enter a two digit number (11-18) to specify which supervi-
sory address the keypad will occupy.
5. Press [#] twice to exit installer programming.
After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset by
entering section [902] in installer’s programming. The panel
will now supervise all assigned keypads and enrolled modules
on the system.
How to Program Function Keys
By default, the 5 function keys on each keypad are pro-
grammed as Stay Arm (03), Away Arm (04), Chime (06), Sen-
sor Reset (14) and Quick Exit (16). You can change the
function of each key on every keypad:
1. Go to the keypad where you want to change the function
key programming and enter Installer Programming.
2. Press [000] for Keypad Programming.
3. Enter [1] to [5] to select a function key to program.
4. Enter the 2 digit number, [00] to [17] to select the feature
you want the function key to have. For a complete list of
Function Key options see section 3.5 “Function Keys” on
page 10.
5. Continue from step 3 until all function keys are pro-
grammed.
6. To exit Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
2.6 Supervision
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation.
Supervision is enabled at all times so that the panel can indi-
cate 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 rea-
sons:
• 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 “[*][2] Trouble Display” on page 8.
2.7 Removing Modules
The panel must be instructed to no longer supervise a module
being removed from the system. To remove the module, dis-
connect it from the Keybus and reset the supervision field by
entering [902] in the installer’s programming. The panel will be
reset to recognize 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” on page 13.
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 nor-
mally closed, End of Line, or Double End of Line loops. Please
refer to the following diagrams to study each type of individu-
ally supervised zone wiring.

2.10 24-Hr Auxiliary Input Wiring (PGM2)
If PGM2 has been programmed for 24-hour operation, the
zone must be wired according to the following diagram:
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
eliminates the need to run 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.
To connect the zone, run one wire to the Z terminal and the
other to B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply
power to the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) termi-
nal and the black wire to the B (negative) terminal.
When using end of line supervision, connect the zone accord-
ing to one of the configurations outlined in section 2.8 “Zone
Wiring” on page 5. End of line resistors must be placed on the
device end of the loop, not at the keypad.
127(.H\SDG]RQHVGRQRWVXSSRUW'(2/UHVLVWRUV
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be
assigned a zone number in Installer’s Programming.
First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into
the desired addresses. (See section 2.5 “Keypad Assign-
ment” on page 4.)
Next, enter programming section [020] to assign the zones.
There are eight programming locations in this section, one for
each keypad address. Enter a 2-digit zone number for each of
the keypad zones. This number must be entered in the loca-
tion corresponding to the keypad to which each zone is con-
nected.
([DPSOH: The zone on an LCD5500Z keypad in address 8 is
to be assigned zone 3. In section [020], scroll to option [8]
and enter (03).

Use any system keypad to enter commands and/or program
the PC1565 security system. The LED keypad uses function
and zone indicator lights to represent alarm functions and sta-
tus. 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 communi-
cate alarm status to the user.
The PC1565 Instruction Manual provides basic directions for
arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and per-
forming user functions from the keypads. The following sec-
tions provide additional details on these functions.
3.1 Arming and Disarming
For a description of basic arming and disarming, please see
the PC1565 Instruction Manual. For other methods of arming,
please refer to section 3.4 “[*] Commands” and section 3.5
“Function Keys” on page 10.

³$UPHGLQ$ZD\0RGH´ZKHQHYHUWKHV\VWHPLVDUPHG
In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault
will notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their sys-
tem. If a non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left
open at the end of the exit delay, the entry delay will begin
immediately and the bell or siren will sound a steady alarm for
the entry delay period. At the end of the entry delay period, if
the system has not been disarmed it will go into alarm. This
feature can be turned OFF in programming section [013],
option [6]. (See section 5.17 “Arming/Disarming Options” on
page 22 for more information.)
3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming
Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without leaving
the premises. All zones programmed as stay/away will be
bypassed 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” on page 13.)
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 moni-
tor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such
as designated entry/exit doors. If a delay zone is not violated
by the end of the exit delay, the panel will bypass all stay/away
zones. The Bypass light will remain on to inform the user that
the interior zones have been automatically bypassed by the
panel. If a delay zone is violated during the exit delay, the sys-
tem will arm in Away mode and all stay/away zones will be
active after the exit delay expires.
The user can arm the stay/away zones at any time by entering
the [*][1] keypad command (see “[*][1] Bypassing and Acti-
vating Stay/Away Zones”).
Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the
Stay function key for two seconds on the PC5508Z and
LCD5500Z keypads, if programmed by the installer. For more
information regarding Stay arming, please see section 3.5
“Function Keys” on page 10.
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 cor-
rect Time of Day. For programming the clock and auto-arm
times, see “[*][6] User Functions” on page 9.
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 dis-
armed at the auto-arm time, the panel will sound the buzzer of
all keypads for one minute. If the %HOO6TXDZN XULQJ$XWR
$UP option is enabled (section [014], option [2]), the bell will
squawk once every 10 seconds while the system is auto-arm-
ing. If a valid access code is entered, auto-arming will be can-
celled.

FDQFHOOHGWKHDXWRDUPZLOOEHORJJHGLQWKHHYHQWEXIIHU
If no code is entered, the panel will auto-arm. If a zone is vio-
lated, the panel will transmit a Partial Closing Reporting Code
–if programmed –to indicate to the central station that the
system is not secure. If the zone is restored, the panel will add
the zone back into the system.

3.4 [*] Commands
The [*] key commands provide an easy way for the user to
access basic system programming –such as programming
access codes or bypassing zones. The user can also use the
[*] key commands to check on the system’s status, including
viewing trouble conditions and displaying the event buffer on
the LCD keypad.
The [*] key commands can be performed from both LCD and
LED keypads. The LED keypad uses the zone indicator lights
to display command information. The LCD display provides
written information, guiding the user through each command.
The commands in this section are explained as viewed from
an LED keypad. When using an LCD keypad, use the arrow
keys (< >) to scroll through information provided. Otherwise,
the functions remain the same for both keypad types.
[*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones
Use the [*][1] keypad command to bypass individual zones. A
bypassed zone will not cause an alarm.

Activate Stay/Away Zones
If the system is armed in stay mode, the [*][1] command can
be used to activate the stay/away zones.
[*][2] Trouble Display
The panel constantly monitors itself for several different trou-
ble conditions. If a trouble condition is present, the Trouble (or
System) light will be on and the keypad will beep twice every
10 seconds. When the system is disarmed, users can silence
the trouble beep for faults and tampers by entering an access
code. For other troubles, users can silence the trouble beep
by pressing any key at any system keypad.
If %HOO 6TXDZN RQ 7URXEOH is enabled (section [014],
option[5]), the bell will squawk every 10 seconds when a trou-
ble condition is present.
If the 7URXEOHVDUH/DWFKLQJ option is enabled, when a trou-
ble restores before a user has viewed it (via [*][2]), the Trouble
(or System) LED will stay on (latch). Once a user has viewed
the trouble, the LED will turn off (unless other troubles are
present on the system).

6HFWLRQ3URJUD 'HVFULSWLRQV
The following section explains the operation of all programma-
ble features and options and provides a summary of all corre-
sponding 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
access codes can be programmed through the [*][5] com-
mand (see section 3.4 “[*] Commands” on page 7).
The master code can also be programmed by the user as
access code (40). If the 0DVWHU&RGH1RW&KDQJHDEOH option
is enabled, the system master code can only be changed by
the installer.
General access codes can arm and disarm the system. When
the &RGH 5HTXLUHG IRU %\SDVVLQJ option is enabled, users
will need to enter a valid access code when bypassing zones.
Individual access codes can have the Zone Bypassing
attribute disabled under access code attribute programming
(see section 3.4 “[*] Commands” on page 7).
If the LJLW 8VHU $FFHVV &RGHV option is enabled, all the
access codes may be programmed with six digits instead of
four, with the exception of the Panel ID code and the Down-
loading Access code.

5.2 Zone Programming
All eight zones are enabled by default. Unused zones should
be 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” on page 14).
Zone Definitions
>@1XOO=RQH
The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as
Null zones.
>@'HOD\=RQH
This zone type, normally used for entry/exit doors, can be vio-
lated 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.
>@'HOD\=RQH
The Delay 2 entry delay time can be set independently of
Delay 1 in programming section [005] (System Times).
>@,QVWDQW=RQH
This zone type will cause an instant alarm if it is violated when
the panel is armed. Typically, this zone is used for windows,
patio doors or other perimeter zones, and glass break detectors.
>@,QWHULRU=RQH
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.
>@,QWHULRU6WD\$ZD\=RQH
This zone type works similarly to the Interior zone type, except
that it will be automatically bypassed under the following con-
ditions:
•When the panel is armed in the Stay Mode (see section
3.5 “Function Keys” on page 10).
•When the panel is armed without entry delay (see “[*][9]
Arming Without Entry Delay” on page 10).
•When the panel is armed with an access code and a
Delay type zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay.
The automatic bypass prevents the user from having to manu-
ally bypass interior type zones when arming at home. This
zone is typically used for interior protection devices, such as
motion detectors.
>@'HOD\6WD\$ZD\=RQH
This zone type will operate similarly to Interior Stay/Away
zones, except that it will always provide an entry delay. Typi-
cally, this zone 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.

When this zone is violated, the alarm output will be immedi-
ately 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 communi-
cator 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 out-
put 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 communi-
cate 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 “Bell” on page 21).

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 dur-
ing the exit delay, the Stay key is used, or [*][9] is used for
arming), a violation of the zone will initiate Entry Delay 1.
>@3XVKWR6HW=RQH
If any zones are programmed as Push to Set, when the system
is armed, the panel will suppress all audible exit delay beeps/
squawks and begin an infinite silent exit delay. When a user
violates and restores a Push to Set zone, the panel will wait 5
seconds, then terminate the Exit Delay and arm the system.

while armed, and a 24-Hour Supervisory Buzzer zone (zone
type [10]) while disarmed. When the panel is armed and this
zone is violated, the bell sounds until the bell time-out timer
expires. When the panel is disarmed and this zone is violated,
the keypad buzzers sound until a user enters an access code.
>@'HOD\HG+RXU)LUH:LUHOHVV
This zone type operates the same as [07] Delayed 24 Hour
Fire Zone and must be used if the smoke detector is wireless.

Additional zone attributes can be programmed to customize
the operation of a zone for a specific application. The follow-
ing attributes are programmable for each zone:
•$XGLEOH 6LOHQW ± This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the alarm output.
•3XOVHG6WHDG\± This attribute determines whether the
alarm output will be steady or will pulse on and off every
second.
•$FWLYDWH &KLPH ± This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the chime feature (see “[*][4]
Door Chime On/Off” on page 8).
•%\SDVV (QDEOH ± This attribute determines whether or
not the zone can be manually bypassed (see “[*][1]
Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones” on page 7).

Program Descri p tions: 5.4 Assigning Keypad Zones
•)RUFH $UP (QDEOH ± This attribute determines whether
or 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 with the rest of the system. Do not pro-
gram this attribute for 24Hr zones.
•6ZLQJHU 6KXWGRZQ (QDEOH ± This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will shut down the communica-
tor and bell for a zone once its swinger limit has been
reached (see section 5.19 “Swinger Shutdown” on page
23)
•7UDQVPLVVLRQ HOD\(QDEOH± This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will delay communicating the
alarm reporting code for the programmed Transmission
Delay Period (see section 5.15 “Transmission Delay” on
page 22).
•:LUHOHVV=RQH ± This attribute determines which zones
are to have wireless devices. This allows the panel to
generate a low battery trouble and zone supervisories for
the wireless zones.

5.4 Assigning Keypad Zones
“Z”keypads have zone inputs to which devices—such as
door contacts—can be connected. (See section 2.11 “Keypad
Zones” on page 6 for wiring information.)
Once the keypad zones are installed, assign the zone in pro-
gramming section [020] .H\SDG=RQH$VVLJQPHQWV.
Enter the 2 digit zone designated for each keypad (address)
from 01-08.

5.5 Communicator – Dialing
If the &RPPXQLFDWRU LVDEOH 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 a valid reporting code occurs (See section 5.8
“Communicator – Reporting Codes” on page 16).
The &RPPXQLFDWRU&DOO LUHFWLRQ options are used to select
which telephone number the panel will dial when an event
occurs.
If the 70) LDOLQJ option is enabled, the panel will dial using
DTMF (touch tone). If the 6ZLWFK WR 3XOVH LDO option is
enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth
attempt to call the central station. When this option is dis-
abled, the panel will always dial using DTMF. If 70) LDOLQJ
is disabled, the panel will always pulse dial.
When the )RUFH LDOLQJ option is enabled, the panel will dial
out 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
If there is no initial handshake recognized within 40 seconds
the panel will then hang up the line.
If the )RUFH LDOLQJ 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 HOD\ %HWZHHQ LDOLQJ $WWHPSWV timer adds a delay
before the next call is dialed.
If the $QWL-DP)HDWXUH is enabled, each dialing attempt will
work as follows: if there is no dial tone present on the initial
dial tone search, the panel will hang up the phone for 90ms,
and then perform another dial tone search. If no dial tone is
detected, the panel will hang up for 20 seconds, then perform
another five second dial tone search. The panel will then force
dial if force dialing is enabled. The whole sequence counts as
one dialing attempt.
0D[LPXP LDOLQJ $WWHPSWV determines the maximum num-
ber of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the
central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate
(FTC) trouble condition. The maximum number of dialing
attempts that can be programmed is 15.
The UG7HOHSKRQH1XPEHU can be used to back up the 1st
in the event of an FTC. (see section 5.7 “Communicator – Tele-
phone Numbers” on page 16). If a later communication
attempt is successful, the FTC reporting code(s) programmed
in section [351] will be transmitted along with the unreported
events from an earlier unsuccessful communication.
When %HOORQ)7&ZKHQ$UPHG is enabled in programming
section [702], option [8], an FTC during the armed period will
sound an Audible Alarm for the length of Bell time-out or until
the system is disarmed. If )7&7URXEOH2QO\ZKHQ$UPHG is
enabled, only the keypad buzzer will sound trouble beeps
every 10 seconds until a key is pressed.
3RVW LDO:DLWIRU+DQGVKDNH determines the amount of time
the panel 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 3XOVH LDOLQJ0DNH%UHDN5DWLR option can change the
Make/Break ratio to 33/67 from the North American ratio of 40/
60.
With , 7RQH(QDEOHG the panel will pulse a tone on the tele-
phone line to indicate that the panel is on the line.
The +]+] option selects the frequency of the ID
tone that is pulsed on the line.

5.6 Communicator – Account Numbers
The account number is used by the central station to distin-
guish between panels. There are two account numbers pro-
grammable for the PC1565.

Second Account Code (4 digits) . . . . . . . . . . . Section [311]
5.7 Communicator – Telephone Numbers
The panel can use three different telephone numbers for com-
municating with the central station. The )LUVW 7HOHSKRQH
1XPEHU is the primary number, the 6HFRQG7HOHSKRQH1XP
EHU is the secondary number and the 7KLUG7HOHSKRQH1XP
EHU will back up the First telephone number if enabled.

If the $OWHUQDWH LDO option is enabled, the panel will alternate
between the first and third telephone numbers when attempt-
ing to call the central station. If the option is disabled, the
panel will only attempt to call the Third telephone number after
failing to communicate with the first telephone number.

Telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits. This allows you to
add special digits if required. To program the telephone number,
enter the numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list
of programmable HEX digits and the functions they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone
HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
HEX (F) - marks the end of the telephone number

5.8 Communicator – Reporting Codes
The panel can be programmed to report events to the central
station by sending the Reporting Code programmed for a par-
ticular event.
Reporting codes can be one or two digits and can use HEX
digits (A through F). For a complete description of reporting
codes which can be programmed and lists of automatic Con-
tact ID and SIA format codes, please see Appendix A.

Reporting Codes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [320] to [353]
Cross Zone Police Reporting Code
The &URVV =RQH 3ROLFH &RGH $ODUP will be sent when two
different alarms occur during any armed-to-armed period.
When an alarm occurs while the panel is armed and a second
alarm occurs on a different zone during the same armed
period, or after the system is disarmed, this code will be sent.
All zone types contribute to this alarm. The cross zone police
code will be transmitted immediately unless either or both
zones have the Transmission Delay attribute enabled. If so,
the code will be delayed for the programmed transmission
delay time.
Cross Zone Police Code Alarm . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [328]
Zone Restorals
If the 5HVWRUDORQ%HOO7LPHRXW option is selected, the panel
will send the =RQH 5HVWRUDO5HSRUWLQJ&RGH for the zone if
the bell cut-off time has expired and the zone is secured. If the
zone is not secured when the bell cut-off time expires, the
panel will send the restoral immediately once the zone is
secured, or when the system is disarmed. If the Restoral on
Bell Time-out option is not selected, the panel will immediately
send the Zone Restoral Reporting Code when the zone is
secured, regardless of whether or not the alarm output is
active.

Closings (Arming Codes)
If the &ORVLQJ&RQILUPDWLRQ option is enabled, once the exit
delay expires, the keypad will sound a series of eight beeps to
confirm to the user that the closing code was sent and
received by the central station.
The panel identifies which zones are bypassed on a Partial
Closing. To do this, the panel will send the partial closing
reporting code, and then the alarm restore reporting code(s)
for the zone(s) which are bypassed.
For example, if a panel is armed with Access Code 40 with
Zones 3 and 5 bypassed, the panel will transmit:
Partial Closing
Alarm Restore Zone 3
Alarm Restore Zone 5
Closing By User Code 40
The panel will follow the $ODUP 5HVWRUH &DOO LUHFWLRQ
options programming.

Openings/Closings by Wireless Key
If you are using a PC5132 v3.0 or higher, wireless keys with
access codes may be identified when they are used to arm or
disarm the system: the panel will log and transmit opening or
closing by access code (the same as if an access code had
been used to arm/disarm the system). If wireless keys with no
access code are used, the event will be logged and transmit-
ted as special closing or opening by keyswitch.
