Section 2: Getting Started
The following sections provide a thorough description of how
to wire and configure devices and zones.
2.1 Installation Steps
Read this section completely before you begin. Once you
have an overall understanding of the installation process,
carefully work through each step.
Step 1: Create a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the building to get an idea of where all
alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are to
be located.
Step 2: Mounting the Panel
Mount the panel in a dry area close to a power source and the
incoming telephone line. Before attaching the cabinet to the
wall, be sure to press the four circuit- board mounting studs
into the cabinet from the back. After you have attached the
cabinet to the wall, stick the provided DSC logo sticker on the
front of the cabinet.
NOTE: You must complete all wiring before connecting the bat-
tery, or applying AC to the panel.
Step 3: Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.3)
Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guide-
lines 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. Please refer to section 2.8 “Zone Wiring” on page 5
when connecting zones using normally closed loops, single
EOL resistors, double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Key-
switch 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 guide-
lines provided in section 2.2.
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 posi-
tive terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the
AC.
NOTE: 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
assigned to a different slot. Please follow the guidelines pro-
vided 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.
NOTE: Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is com-
plete. Connect the battery before connecting the AC.
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.
The High Current /Standard Battery Charge option (section
[701], option [7]) allows you to choose between a high current
battery charge and the standard battery charge rate.
High Current /Standard Battery Charge . . .Section [701]: [7]
AC Terminals – AC
The panel requires a 16VAC, 40VA transformer. Connect the
transformer to an 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].
NOTE: Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring is
complete.
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 3.5 “[*] Commands”
on page 8.
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”.

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 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 21.
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-
tion or downloading, connect an RJ-31X telephone jack in the
following manner:
NOTE: For proper operation, no other telephone equipment
should be connected between the control panel and the tele-
phone company facilities. Do not connect the alarm panel com-
municator to telephone lines intended for use with a fax
machine. These lines may incorporate a voice filter which dis-
connects 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 con-
nected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and black
(AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the yellow
(YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data respec-
tively.
NOTE: The four Keybus terminals of the panel must be con-
nected 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.
• 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.
Example of Keybus Wiring
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.
PC1565 (12 VDC)
AUX+: ........550mA: Subtract the listed rating for each key-
pad, expansion module and accessory con-
nected to AUX+ or Keybus.
BELL: .........700mA continuous rating; 3.0A short term. Avail-
able only with standby battery connected.
PC1565 Device Ratings (at 12 VDC)
• LCD5500Z Keypad: 85mA
• PC1555RKZ Keypad: 85mA
• PC5508Z Keypad: 75-85mA
• PC5400 Serial Module: 65mA
• PC5132 Wireless Receiver: 125mA
Other Devices
Please read the manufacturer’s literature carefully to deter-
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 slots for keypads. LED keypads by
default are always assigned to slot 1. LCD5500Z keypads are
always assigned to slot 8. You will need to assign each key-
pad to its own slot (1 to 8). Keypad assignment is required, as
it tells the panel which slots are occupied. The panel can then
generate a fault when a keypad supervisory is not present.
NOTE: One LCD keypad must be assigned to slot 8 in order to
upload keypad programming using DLS-1 software.
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
3. Enter [0] for Slot Assignment
4. Enter a two digit number (11-18) to specify which supervi-
sory slot 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 3.6 “Function Keys” on
page 11.
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 9.
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 15.
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.
NOTE: Any zone programmed for Fire or 24-hr Supervisory
must be wired with a single End of Line (EOL) resistor regard-
less of the type of zone wiring supervision selected for the
panel (section [013]: [1] -[2]). See section 5.2 “Zone Program-
ming” on page 15.
NOTE: 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 cor-
rectly.
Normally Closed (NC) Loops
To enable normally closed loops, programming section [013],
option [1] must be ON.
NOTE: 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, pro-
gramming section [013], options [1] and [2] must be OFF.
NOTE: This option should be selected if either Normally
Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) detection devices or con-
tacts 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, pro-
gramming section [013], option [1] must be OFF and option
[2] must be ON.
NOTE: 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-hr Supervisory zones.
NOTE: Do not wire DEOL resistors on keypad zones.
NOTE: Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones or 24-hr
Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones to keypad zone ter-
minals if the DEOL supervision option is selected.
NOTE: This option can only be selected if Normally Closed
(NC) detection devices or contacts are being used.
NOTE: Only one NC contact can be connected to each zone.
Wiring multiple detection devices or contacts on a single loop
is not allowed.

2.9 Fire Zone Wiring
4-Wire Smoke Detectors
All fire zones must be wired according to the following diagram:
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:
NOTE:If PGM2 is programmed for 24-hr Auxiliary Input sup-
port, the connector JP1 on the main board must be removed.
2.11 GSM1000 Zone Wiring
GSM1000 Support
When using the GSM1000
cellular communicator, con-
nect the module to the main
panel according to the fol-
lowing diagram:
GSM1000 Supervision (24-hr Supervisory)
When using the GSM1000
cellular communicator, any
main board zone may be
configured for GSM1000
Supervision. Program this
zone as zone type [09], 24-
hr Supervisory in section
[001].
With a GSM1000 Supervi-
sory zone, if the GSM1000
experiences a trouble, the
zone will be violated, caus-
ing the panel to report the
event to the central station. This type of zone always requires
a single EOL resistor (5600Ω).
Wire this zone according to the above diagram.
NOTE: When using the GSM1000, Busy Tone Detection must
not be used.
2.12 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.
NOTE: Keypad zones do not support DEOL resistors.

Getting Started: 2.12 Keypad Zones
7
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 slots. (See section 2.5 “Keypad Assignment” on
page 4.)
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
corresponding to the keypad to which each zone is con-
nected.
Example: The zone on an LCD5500Z keypad in slot 8 is to be
assigned zone 3. In section [020], scroll to option [8] and
enter (03).
NOTE: Keypad zones 1-6 will replace zone terminals Z1-Z6 on
the control panel.
NOTE: Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also
program zone definitions and zone attributes. (See also sec-
tion 5.4 “Assigning Keypad Zones” on page 17.
NOTE: Keypad zones cannot be used for 24-hr Supervisory.

8
Section 3: Keypad Commands
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 3.5 “[*] Commands” and section 3.6
“Function Keys” on page 11.
NOTE: The Event Buffer will log “Armed in Stay Mode” or
“Armed in Away Mode” whenever the system is armed.
NOTE: After performing a sensor reset, users should wait 15
seconds before attempting to arm the system.
When Arming, once the Exit Delay has expired, the system will
allow 5 seconds for detectors to settle before the system is
armed. If any zone is violated when the 5 second settle time
expires, the system will cancel arming. When arming is cancelled,
the keypad buzzer will sound a steady tone for 90 seconds.
During Exit Delay, any zone violated will sound a series of
beeps to notify the user that a zone on the system has not
been restored.
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 15.)
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 3.6
“Function Keys” on page 11.
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 10.
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 key-
pads for one minute. If a valid access code is entered, auto-
arming will be cancelled.
NOTE: 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. Auto-arming will
be cancelled if a zone is violated at the end of a pre-alert. If
the zone is restored, the panel will add the zone back into the
system.
NOTE: Auto arming can only be cancelled by entering a valid
access code at any keypad.
3.4 Resetting the System After an Alarm
When a user disarms the system after there has been an
alarm on a burglary zone, the keypads may become locked to
the end user. This will happen if the Remote Reset option is
turned on. See section 5.21 “Remote Reset of System (Lock
and Reset Codes)” on page 24.)
When the keypads are locked, users will not be able to per-
form any system functions, except for viewing the alarm mem-
ory ([*][3]) or activating command outputs such as sensor
reset ([*][7]). The rest of the system will function as normal (i.e.
alarms and troubles will still be monitored).
Users will only be able to unlock the system by entering an
Unlock Code provided by the installer or central station.
NOTE: If the Remote Reset option is turned on, you must use
either LED keypads (PC1555RKZ, PC5508Z), or LCD5500Z
with software version v2.2U and higher.
3.5 [*] 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.
NOTE: Zones can only be bypassed when the system is not
armed.

Keypad Commands: 3.5 [*] Commands

If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled (section
[015], option [5]), only access codes with the bypass attribute
enabled will be able to bypass zones (see section 5.1 “Pro-
gramming Security Codes” on page 15).
Users can also bypass groups of zones. To be able to bypass
zone groups, users must enter user code 40, 41, or 42. To pro-
gram a bypass group, bypass the zones that you want in the
group, and then enter [95]. To bypass the same group of
zones again, in the [*][1] menu enter [91].
If the option Code Required for Bypass is turned off, all users
will be able to bypass groups of zones, as described above.
If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is cho-
sen, the Bypass (or System) light will be ON while the system
is armed to indicate any bypassed zones (see section 5.17
“Arming/Disarming Options” on page 24).
NOTE: When you disarm the system, all manually-bypassed
zones will be unbypassed.

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.
The PC5132-NB receiver detects jamming signals that can
prevent the receiver from properly receiving transmissions
from enrolled devices. If the system detects jamming signals
for longer than 30 seconds, the Trouble (or System) light will
turn on. The keypad will not sound trouble beeps for an RF
Jam trouble unless the Audible RF Trouble (Keypad Beeps)
option is turned on. If the system detects jamming signals for
longer than 5 minutes, the panel will send a General System
Trouble reporting code.
Troubles are Latching . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Section [018]: [1]

To view trouble conditions from an LED keypad:
1. Press [*][2].
2. The keypad will flash the Trouble (or System) light. The
zone indicator lights corresponding to the present trouble
conditions will be ON.
When using an LCD keypad, the trouble conditions will be
listed on the display. Use the arrow (< >) keys to scroll through
the list of present trouble conditions.
NOTE: Troubles can be viewed while armed using the LCD
keypad, provided the keypad is version 2.0 or later. Older key-
pads will incorrectly display “Fire Trouble”. If using older LCD
keypads, programming section [013], option [3] as OFF will
ensure troubles are displayed correctly.
The various troubles are described below:
Light Trouble
1Service Required: Press [1] to determine the specific trouble. Lights 1 - 5 will light up to indicate the trouble:
• Light [1] Low Battery: Main panel backup battery charge is low (below 11.5 volts under load).Trouble is restored
when the battery charges over 12.5 volts.
• Light [2] Bell Circuit Trouble: The bell circuit is open (see section 5.13 “Bell” on page 23).
• Light [3] General System Trouble: There is an RF jam trouble, or a printer connected to the PC5400 Printer module
has a fault and is off-line.
• Light [4] General System Tamper: Tamper has been detected in a module.
• Light [5] General System Supervisory: The panel has lost communication with a module connected to the Keybus
(see section 2.6 “Supervision” on page 5). The event buffer will log the event.
NOTE: All tamper conditions must be physically restored before the trouble condition will clear.
• Lights [6-8] – Not used
NOTE: If you remove and then restore power to the main panel in order to service any PC5204 module, or any module
being powered by a PC5204, you must also remove and then restore power to the PC5204 and any connected modules.
This ensures that any troubles present on the module are correctly logged and/or annunciated.
2AC Failure: AC power is no longer being supplied to the control panel. The Trouble (or System) light will flash if an AC
Failure is present, if the Trouble Light Flashes if AC Fails option is programmed (section [016], option [2]). This trouble
will not be displayed if the AC Trouble Displayed option is disabled (section [016], option [1]). See section 5.8 “Com-
municator – Reporting Codes” on page 18 for information on AC trouble reporting.
3Telephone Line Monitoring Trouble (TLM): There is a problem with the telephone line (See section 5.12 “Tele-
phone Line Monitor (TLM)” on page 22.)
4Failure to Communicate (FTC): The communicator failed to communicate with any of the programmed telephone
numbers (see section 5.5 “Communicator – Dialing” on page 17).
5Zone Fault (including Fire Zone): A zone on the system is experiencing trouble, meaning that a zone could not
provide an alarm to the panel if required to do so (e.g. a fire zone is open, or there is a short on a DEOL zone, or a super-
visory fault on a wireless zone). When a zone fault trouble condition occurs, the keypad(s) on the system will start to
beep. Press [5] while in Trouble mode to view the affected zones.
NOTE: A Fire zone trouble will be generated and displayed in the armed state.
6Zone Tamper: A zone configured for Double End Of Line resistor supervision has a tamper condition, or the tamper
switch is open on a wireless device. When a tamper condition occurs, the keypad(s) will start to beep. Press [6] while in the
Trouble mode to view the affected zones. If a zone is tampered or faulted, it must be fully restored to clear the trouble.
NOTE: By enabling Tampers/Faults Do Not Show as Open in section [013], option [4], Faults and Tampers will not show
as open on the keypad, and will be hidden from the end user. If the option is disabled, Faults and Tampers will be dis-
played on the keypad
NOTE:Once a zone is tampered or faulted, it must be completely restored before the trouble condition will clear.

[*][3] Alarm Memory
The Memory (or System) light will be on if any alarm occurred
during the last armed period or – in the case of 24 hour zones
– if an alarm occurred while the panel was disarmed.
To view alarm memory, press [*][3]. The keypad will flash the
Memory (or System) light and the zone indicator lights corre-
sponding to the alarm or tamper conditions which occurred
during or since the last armed period. To clear the Memory (or
System) light, arm and disarm the system.
[*][4] Door Chime On/Off
The door chime feature is used to sound a tone from the key-
pad whenever a zone programmed as a chime zone is acti-
vated (see section 5.3 “Zone Attributes” on page 16). If the
door chime feature is enabled, the keypad will emit five short
beeps whenever a chime zone is activated. Designated entry/
exit doors are often defined as chime zones. The feature can
be turned on or off while the system is armed or disarmed.
[*][5] Programming Access Codes
There are 37 access codes available to the user. They are:
Access code (40) ..................... One master code
Access codes (01)-(32)............ 32 general access codes
Access codes (33)-(34)............ Two duress codes
Access codes (41)-(42)............ Two supervisor codes
All access codes have the ability to arm or disarm the system
and can activate the PGM Outputs using the [*][7] com-
mands. Access codes can be either four or six digits (see
section 5.1 “Programming Security Codes” on page 15).
For a description of how to program access codes from LCD
or LED keypads, see the PC1565 Instruction Manual.
Master Code – Access Code (40)
By default, the Master Code is enabled to perform any keypad
function. This code can be used to program all access codes.
If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled (sec-
tion [015], option [6]), the Master Code can only be changed
by the Installer.
General Access Codes – Access Codes (01) to (32)
General access codes can arm and disarm the system. When
the Code Required for Bypassing 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.
For more information regarding access code options, please
see section 5.1 “Programming Security Codes” on page 15.
Duress Code – Access Code (33) and (34)
Duress codes will send a duress reporting code to the central

Section 4: How to Program
The following section of the manual describes the Installer’s
Programming function and how to program the various sec-
tions.
NOTE: Read the following section of the manual very carefully
before you begin programming. We also recommend filling out
the Programming Worksheets section before you program the
panel.
For your reference, the corresponding programming sections
for the functions listed are highlighted in text boxes such as
this one.
4.1 Installer’s Programming
Installer’s Programming is used to program all communicator
and panel options. The Installer’s Code is [1565] by default
but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to
programming.
Installer’s Code. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [006]
From an LED Keypad:
1. Enter [*][8][Installer’s Code].
The Program light (or System light on the PC1555RKZ) will
flash to indicate that you are in programming mode.
The Armed light will turn on to indicate that the panel is
waiting for the three-digit programming section number.
2. Enter the three-digit section number corresponding to the
section you wish to program.
The Armed light will turn off.
The Ready light will turn on to indicate that the panel is
waiting for the information required to complete program-
ming the selected section.
3. Enter the information required to complete section pro-
gramming (i.e.: numbers, Hex data, or ON/OFF options).
NOTE: If the three-digit section number entered is invalid, or if
the module which pertains to the section is not present, the
keypad will sound a two second error tone.
From an LCD Keypad:
1. From any keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s Code]. The Key-
pad will display ‘Enter Section’ followed by three dashes.
2. Enter the three-digit number corresponding to the pro-
gramming section number you wish to program. The key-
pad will now display the information required to complete
programming the selected section.
3. Enter the information required to complete section pro-
gramming (i.e.: numbers, Hex data, or ON/OFF options).
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake,
press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again
and re-enter the information correctly.
NOTE: There must be one digit in each box in the program-
ming section in order for the change to be valid.

program a Hex digit press the [*] key. The panel will enter Hex
programming and Ready light will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers which should be pressed to
enter the appropriate Hex digit:
1 = A 2 = B 3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6 = F
Once the correct Hex digit has been entered, the Ready light
will continue to flash. If another Hex digit is required, press the
corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the
[*] key again. The Ready light will turn on and the panel will
return to regular decimal programming.
Example:
To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, you would enter:
[*][3][*], [1]:
• [*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
• [3] to enter C
• [*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
• [1] to enter digit 1
NOTE: If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will be
programmed as the Hex equivalent.
If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal
zero [0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the
panel not to send any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is
a filler digit. To transmit a zero [0], it must be programmed as
a Hexadecimal ‘A’.
Example:
For the three digit account number ‘403’, you would enter:
[4], [*][1][*][3], [0]:
• [4] to enter the digit 4
• [*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
• [1] to enter A
• [*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
• [3] to enter the digit 3
• [0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.

4.4 Programming Toggle Option Sections
Some programming sections contain several toggle options.
The panel will use zone lights 1 through 8 to indicate if the dif-
ferent options are enabled or disabled. Press the number cor-
responding to the option to turn it ON or OFF. Once all the
toggle options have been selected correctly, press the [#] key
to exit the section and save the changes. The Ready light will
turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.
Refer the programming worksheets to determine what each
option represents and whether the light should be ON or OFF
for your application.
4.5 Viewing Programming
LED Keypads
Any programming section can be viewed from an LED key-
pad. When a programming section is entered, the keypad will
immediately display the first digit of information programmed
in that section.
The keypad displays the information using a binary format,
according to the following chart: See Hex data
entry instructions
Press any of the Emergency Keys (Fire, Auxiliary or Panic) to
advance to the next digit. When all the digits in a section have
been viewed, the panel will exit the section; the Ready Light
will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON, waiting for the
next three-digit programming section number to be entered.
Press the [#] key to exit the section
LCD Keypad
When a programming section is entered, the keypad will
immediately display all the information programmed in that
section. Use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through the data
being displayed. Scroll past the end of the data displayed or
press the [#] key to exit the section.

Section 5: Program Descriptions
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 3.5 “[*] Commands” on page 8).
The master code can also be programmed by the user as
access code (40). If the Master Code Not Changeable 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 Code Required for Bypassing 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 3.5 “[*] Commands” on page 8).

NOTE: The Maintenance code is limited to arming and disarm-
ing the system. The Maintenance code cannot use [*][9] to arm
the system, bypass zones, or perform [*][7] command functions.
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 16).
Zone Definitions
[00] Null Zone
The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as
Null zones.
[01] Final Door Set Zone
If this zone type is programmed, inifinite exit delay will com-
mence when arming is initiated. In order to complete the arm-
ing sequence after infinite exit delay has begun, the Final
Door Set zone will have to be violated and restored. When the
system is armed, this zone will function as a Delay Zone.
[02] Delay Zone
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.
[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,
patio doors or other perimeter zones, and glass break detectors.
[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
3.6 “Function Keys” on page 11).
• When the panel is armed without entry delay (see “[*][9]
Arming Without Entry Delay” on page 11).
• 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.
[06] Delay Stay/Away Zone
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.
NOTE: 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-hr Fire Zone
NOTE: 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 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 23).
NOTE: 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 immediately communicate the alarm.

16
A violated Fire zone will be displayed on all keypads and can
be delayed at any keypad. Typically this zone is used for
latching smoke detectors.
[08] Standard 24-hr Fire Zone
NOTE: 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
alarm output and communicate to the central station. The
alarm will sound until the Bell Cutoff time expires, or until a
code is entered (see section 5.13 “Bell” on page 23).
A violated Fire zone will be displayed on all keypads. Typically
this zone is used for pull stations.
[09] 24-hr Supervisory Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or dis-
armed, the panel will report to the central station, and will log
the zone alarm to the Event Buffer. This zone gives a silent
alarm by default.
NOTE: Do not wire 24-Hour Supervisory zones on keypad
zone terminals.
[10] 24-hr Supervisory Buzzer Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or dis-
armed, the panel will immediately latch the keypad buzzer
until a valid access code is entered and will immediately com-
municate to the central station.
[11] 24-hr Burglary Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or dis-
armed, the panel will immediately latch the alarm output and
communicate to the central station. The alarm will sound until
the Bell Cutoff time expires, or until a code is entered (see
section 5.13 “Bell” on page 23).
[12] - [20]
The following zone definitions operate similar to the 24-hr Bur-
glary except for the System Event output type and the SIA
identifier:
[12] 24-hr Holdup Zone - This zone gives a silent alarm by
default.
[13] 24-hr Gas Zone
[14] 24-hr Heat Zone
[15] 24-hr Medical Zone
[16] 24-hr Panic Zone
[17] 24-hr Non-Medical Emergency Zone
[18] 24-hr Sprinkler Zone
[19] 24-hr Water Flow Zone
[20] 24-hr Freezer Zone
[21] 24-hr Latching Tamper
If this zone is violated, the installer must enter Installer’s Pro-
gramming before the system can be armed.
NOTE: 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. Tampers and faults will not arm/disarm the sys-
tem, but only activate the appropriate trouble.
[23] Maintained Keyswitch Arm Zone
When this zone is violated, the system will arm. When this
zone is secured, the system will disarm. Tampers and faults
will not arm/disarm the system, but only activate the appropri-
ate trouble.
[24] For future use
[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 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.
[27] Push to Set Zone
If any zones are programmed as Push to Set, when the system
is armed, the panel will begin an infinite audible exit delay.
When a user violates and restores a Push to Set zone, the
panel will terminate the Exit Delay and arm the system.
[28] 24-hr Bell/Buzzer Zone
This zone works like a 24-Hour Burglary zone (zone type [11])
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.
[87] Delayed 24-hr Fire (Wireless)
This zone type operates the same as [07] Delayed 24-hr Fire
Zone and must be used if the smoke detector is wireless.
[88] Standard 24-hr Fire (Wireless)
This zone type operates the same as [08] Standard 24-hr Fire
Zone and must be used if the smoke detector is wireless.

5.3 Zone Attributes
NOTE: All zones, with the exception of 24-hr and Fire, will pro-
vide an exit delay.
NOTE: Do not change the attributes for Fire Zones from the
default settings.
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:
•Audible / Silent – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the alarm output.
•Pulsed / Steady – This attribute determines whether the
alarm output will be steady or will pulse on and off every
second.
•Activate Chime – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone will activate the chime feature (see “[*][4]
Door Chime On/Off” on page 10).
•Bypass Enable – This attribute determines whether or
not the zone can be manually bypassed (see “[*][1]
Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones” on page 8).
•Force Arm Enable – This attribute determines whether or
not the system can be armed while a zone is violated.
Swinger Shutdown Enable – This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will shut down the communicator
and bell for a zone once its swinger limit has been reached
(see section 5.19 “Swinger Shutdown” on page 24)
•Transmission Delay Enable – This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will delay communicating the
alarm reporting code for the programmed Transmission
