The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when

locating and installing smoke and CO alarms.

6PRNH'HWHFWRUV

Research indicates that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Detectable quantities of smoke precede

detectable levels of heat in most cases. Smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.

DSC recommends that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be installed. Additional areas that

should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and

any hallways not protected by the required units.

On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling

height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-

02 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.

• Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; dead air space in these locations may prevent smoke detection.

• Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector may prevent

smoke from entering the unit.

• Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.

• Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38oC(100oF) or falls below 5oC (41oF).

Smoke detectors should always be installed in USA in accordance with Chapter 29 of NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code: 29.5.1.1.

Where required by other governing laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station

smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

(1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.

(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping room, with the distance mea-

sured along a path of travel.

(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.

(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and

unfinished attics.

(5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite.

(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility).

&2'HWHFWRUV

CO gas moves freely in the air. The human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during

sleeping hours. For maximum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside primary sleeping

areas or on each level of your home. Figure 5 indicates the suggested locations in the home. The

electronic sensor detects carbon monoxide, measures the concentration and sounds a loud alarm

before a potentially harmful level is reached.

Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:

• Where the temperature may drop below -10ºC or exceed 40 ºC.

• Near paint thinner fumes.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of open flame appliances such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces.

• In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys.

• Do not place in close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage the detector.

WARNING - READ CAREFULLY

Note to Installers

This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the

users of this system.

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may

not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these

reasons may be:

•Inadequate Installation

A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access

points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials

must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation

by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.

• Criminal Knowledge

This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which

reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or

replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.

• Access by Intruders

Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a

warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.

• Power Failure

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries,

it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power,

any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage

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 conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life.

While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing

and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.

• Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices

Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent

radio signal interference.

• System Users

A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity

with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system

indicates an alarm.

• Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been

improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed

doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.

Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide

timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials,

overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.

Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

• Motion Detectors

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective 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, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of

tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system

will impair its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their 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 appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a

hearing-impaired person.

• Telephone Lines

If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation

by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.

• Insufficient Time

There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the

warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

• Component Failure

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.

• Inadequate Testing

Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested

weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.

The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, 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 system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other

occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

2 Installation

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: Creating 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

Begin the installation by mounting additional modules in the

cabinet using the stand-offs provided. Then, mount the cabinet

in a dry, protected area close to an unswitched AC 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 cabi-

net 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, telephone wires and/or applying AC to the panel. Before

these operations are performed, the cabinet shall be properly

secured to the building structure.

Note: The metallic cabinet door shall be locked using a key

(lock) and minimum 2 (two) screws.

Step 3: Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.4)

Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the guide-

lines provided in Section 2.4 Keybus Operation and Wiring.

Step 4: Zone Wiring (Section 2.8)

You must power down the control panel to complete all zone

wiring. Please refer to Section 2.9 Zone Wiring when connect-

ing zones using normally closed loops, single EOL resistors,

double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming zones.

Step 5: Complete Wiring (Section 2.2)

Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone

line connections, and ground connections following the guide-

lines provided in Section 2.2 Terminal Descriptions.

Step 6: Powering up the Control Panel

Once all zone and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the con-

trol panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive ter-

minal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the AC.

Note: Connect the battery before connecting the AC. You must

apply AC power to the panel for at least 10 seconds, or the panel

will not function. The panel will not power up on the battery

connection alone.

Step 7: Keypad Assignment (Section 2.6)

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 Current Ratings – Modules & Accessories

when assigning keypads.

Step 8: Supervision (Section 2.7)

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 Keypad

Assignment.

Step 9: Programming the System (Sections 4 & 5)

Section 4 Programming explains how to program the panel. Fill

out the Programming Worksheets completely before attempting

to program the system. (See Section 5 Programming Work-

sheets).

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 4 Ah or 7Ah rechargeable battery is used as a backup

source of power in the event of an AC power failure. A sealed,

rechargeable, lead acid or gel type battery is required to meet UL

requirements for power standby times.

Note: UL/ULC Residential Burglary installations require 4 Hrs

power standby time plus 4 minutes alarm annunciation.

Note: UL/ULC Residential Fire installations require 24 Hrs

power standby time plus 4 minutes (UL) or 5 minutes (ULC)

alarm notification.

Note: Connect the battery before connecting the AC.

Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal;

connect the BLACK lead to negative.

Note: Battery capacity will deteriorate with age and number of

charge/discharge cycles. Replace every 3-5 years.

AC Terminals

The panel requires a 16.5VAC, 40VA transformer. Connect the

transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the trans-

former to these terminals.

Note: Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring is

complete. The transformer secondary wire distance is as shown

below:

AUX+ and AUX- Auxiliary Power Terminals

These terminals provide up to 550mA of current at 11.1–12.5

VDC for modules, powered detectors, relays, and LEDs. If the

total current required exceeds 550mA, an additional power

supply is required (e.g., PC5200, PC5204). Refer to Table 1-1,

6XSSRUWHG 0RGXOHV for the current draw of individual devices.

Connect the positive side of any device requiring power to the

AUX+ terminal, the negative 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

11.1-12.5 VDC for powering bells, sirens, strobes or other warn-

ing-type equipment (e.g. DSC SD-15 WULF). To comply with

NFPA 72 Temporal Three Pattern requirements: Program Sec-

tion [013] Option 8 ON.

Note: Steady, pulsed alarms and temporal four (CO) alarms are

also supported.

PC1404

Connect the positive side of any alarm warning device to

BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. Please note that the Bell

output is protected: if too much current is drawn from these ter-

minals (such as a wiring short), the panel will shut down the out-

put. Two amps can be drawn for short periods only.

The Bell output is supervised

and power limited by 2A

PTC. If an alarm warning

device is connected to the bell

terminals, a termination resis-

tor is not necessary. If no

alarm warning devices are in

use, connect a 1000resistor

across BELL+ and BELL– to prevent a Bell Circuit Trouble

from being generated. For more information, please refer

to[*][2]Trouble Display).

Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, GRN

The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with modules

and vice versa. Each module has four Keybus terminals that

must be connected to the four Keybus terminals on the panel.

For more information, see Section 2.4 Keybus Operation and

Wiring.

Programmable Output Terminals –

PGM 1 and PGM 2

Each PGM output is designed so that when activated by the

panel, the terminal will switch to ground.

PGM 1 can provide up to 50mA. Con-

nect the positive side of the LED or

buzzer to AUX+, the negative side to

PGM 1. PGM 2 can provide up to

300mA current-limited switched pro-

grammable output. If more than 50 mA

of current are required, a relay must be

used. Please study PGM wiring in the

accompanying diagram. Two-wire

smoke detectors (90mA current lim-

ited) are supported using PGM 2.

For a list, please see the section on

Programmable Output Options.

Note: For UL installations, use only UL-listed relays.

Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z4

Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the con-

trol panel. It is suggested that one detection device be connected

to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices to a single zone,

however, is possible. For zone wiring specifics, please see Sec-

tion 2.9 Zone Wiring.

Telephone Line Wiring

Wire the telephone connection terminals (TIP, Ring, T-1, R-1) to

an RJ-31x Connector as indicated. For connection of multiple

devices to the telephone line, wire in the sequence indicated.

Use 26 AWG wire minimum for wiring.

Telephone format is programmed in option [350]. Telephone

Call Directions are programmed in options [351]-

[376].

Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimension, toler-

ance and metallic plating requirements of 47 C.F.R. Part 68,

SubPart F. 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.

Ground Connection

Using an insulated green wire of minimum 22AWG, connect the

EGND terminal from the PCB assembly to the GND Point on the

control panel's cabinet. The GND Point could be any available

hole on the back or on the side of the metal cabinet where the

grounding wire from the EGND terminal on the PCB assembly

and the grounding wire from the building electrical installation

could be attached together as indicated in the wiring diagram on

page v or on the wiring diagram attached to the cabinet.

Note: Wire and installation hardware not included.

2.3 Wire Routing for Power & Non-Power

Limited

All wiring entry points are designated by the arrows. All circuits

are classified UL installation power limited except for the bat-

tery leads which are not power limited. A minimum ¼” (7mm)

separation must be maintained at all points between power lim-

ited and non-power limited wiring and connections.

Note: Wire entry for power limited wiring must be separated by

using a different entry access from non-power limited wiring.

2.4 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 connected

to the four Keybus terminals or wires of all modules.

The following restrictions apply to Keybus wiring:

• Keybus should be run in minimum 22 AWG quad (0.5mm),

maximum 18 AWG; two pair twist is preferred.

• The modules can be home-run to the panel, connected in

series or T-tapped, provided that the maximum wire dis-

tance from the control panel to any module does not exceed

1,000' (305m).

• Any module can be connected anywhere along the Keybus.

You do not need to run a separate Keybus wire for keypads

etc.

Note: Depending on a module's current draw, there may be addi-

tional limitations of the wire run length of power and ground.

• Shielded wire should not be used.

Other Devices

Please read the manufacturer’s literature carefully to determine

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 capa-

bilities during any possible operational mode.

2.6 Keypad Assignment

Once the wiring is complete and the keypad is fixed on the wall,

a 2-digit number must be entered to tell the system the partition

and slot assignment of the keypad. At each keypad installed on

the system

1. Enter Installer Programming by pressing [*][8][Installer

Code].

2. Press [000] for keypad programming.

3. Press [0] for Partition and Slot Assignment.

4. Enter a 2-digit number to specify the partition and slot

assignment as follows:

a) As the PC1404 does not have partitions, enter [1] for

the first digit. If the first digit is incorrectly pro-

grammed with a value greater than 1, the keypad will

not respond when connected to a single partition sys-

tem (e.g. PC1404). Press and hold the 1 key on the key-

pad, then re-enter section [000][0] to correct the

programming.

b) Assign each keypad to its own slot (1 to 8). LED key-

pads, the LCD5511 and the PC1404RKZ keypads are

always assigned to slot 1 by default. PK5500 keypads

are always assigned to slot 8. Keypad assignment is

required, as it tells the panel which slots are occupied.

The panel can then generate a keypad supervision trou-

ble when the keypad is detected as missing.

Note: One LCD keypad must be assigned to slot 8 in order to

upload keypad programming using DLS software.

c) Press the [#] key twice to exit programming.

d) After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset

by entering [*][8][Installer Code][902]. The panel will

reset supervision and re-enroll modules on the system.

How to Program Function Keys

By default, the 5 function keys on each keypad are programmed

as Stay Arm (03), Away Arm (04), Chime (06), Sensor 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 [32] to select the feature

you want the function key to have. For a complete list, see

Function Key Options on page 19.

5. Continue from step 3 until all function keys are programmed.

6. To exit Installer Programming, press [#] twice.

2.7 Supervision

By default, all modules are supervised upon installation. Super-

vision is enabled at all times so that the panel can indicate a trou-

ble if a module is removed from the system.

To check which modules are currently connected and super-

vised, enter programming Section [903] from Installer Program-

ming. An LCD keypad will allow you to scroll through the

display of connected modules. A connected module which does

not show as being present will appear as a trouble condition and

the Trouble light on the keypad will turn ON. This condition

may be due to one or more of the following reasons:

• the module is not connected to the Keybus

• there is a Keybus wiring problem

• the module is more than 1,000'/305m from the panel

• the module does not have enough power

For more information regarding module supervision troubles,

please refer to [*][2]Trouble Display.

2.8 Removing Modules

The panel must be instructed to no longer supervise a module

being removed from the system. To remove the module, discon-

nect it from the Keybus and reset the supervision field by enter-

ing [902] in Installer Programming. The panel will reset

supervision of all existing modules attached to the keybus.

2.9 Zone Wiring

For a complete description of the operation of all zone types,

please refer to [001] Zone Definitions.

There are several different ways in which zones may be wired,

depending on which programming options have been selected.

The panel can be programmed to supervise normally closed, End

of Line, Double End of Line, or zone doubling loops. Please

refer to the following diagrams to study each type of individu-

ally supervised zone wiring.

Note: Any zone programmed for Fire, 24-hr Supervisory, or CO

must be wired with a single End of Line (SEOL) resistor regard-

less of the type of zone wiring supervision selected for the panel

([013] First System Options: [1]-[2]).

Note: If you change the zone supervision options from DEOL to

SEOL or from NC to DEOL (See [013] First System Options,

Options [1] or [2]), you should power down the system com-

pletely, and then power it back up. If you do not, the zones may

not work correctly.

PC1404

Normally Closed (NC) Loops

To enable normally closed loops, 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 (5600)

To enable panel detection of single end of line resistors, 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 contacts are being

used.

Double End of Line (DEOL) Resistors

Double End of Line resistors allow the panel to determine if the

zone is in alarm, tampered or faulted.

To enable panel detection of double end of line resistors, Section

[013], Option [1] must be OFF and Option [2] must be ON.

Note: If the Double EOL supervision option is enabled, all hard-

wire zones on the main panel must be wired for Double EOL

resistors, except for Fire, CO and 24-hr Supervisory zones.

Note: Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones, CO zones or

24-hr Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones to keypad zone

terminals 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.

The following chart shows zone status under certain conditions:

End of Line Resistors ............................... Section [013]: [1]

Double End of Line Resistors.................. Section [013]: [2]

2.10 Zone Doubling

Zone Doubling is a feature that will allow you to double the

zones on the main board from 4 to 8. To enable zone doubling,

Section 13 Option [7] must be ON. All zones must be wired

according to the following diagram. Only Normally Closed

devices can be used with zone doubling.

Note: All resistors are 5% tolerance.

The loop using the 1500and 5600resistors is the first zone

(Zone 1, 2, 3, or 4). The loop using the 1500and 2400

resistors is the second zone (Zone 5, 6, 7, or 8). For example,

loop 1 is Zone 1 and loop 2 is Zone 5. The following table shows

zone status under certain conditions:

Note: The following will be seen by the installer if the end-of-

line resistors have not been installed correctly, when both zones

are physically closed:

Note: If zone doubling is enabled, fire zones should not be pro-

grammed. 2-wire smoke loops can still be used.

Note: If zone doubling is enabled, keypad zones should not be

programmed.

Note: If fire zone types are programmed in Section [001], or if a

keypad zone has been assigned, it will not be possible to enable

the zone doubling option in Section [013].

2.13 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 elimi-

nates the need to run wires back to the control panel for every

device.

To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic 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) terminal and the

black wire to the B (negative) terminal.

When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according

to one of the configurations outlined in Section 2.9 Zone Wiring.

End of line resistors must be placed on the device end of the

loop, not at the keypad.

Note: Only non 24-hr burglary zones can be configured as key-

pad zones for UL Listed products.

Assigning Keypad Zones

When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be

assigned a zone number in Installer Programming.

1. Ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into the

desired slots. (See Section 2.6 Keypad Assignment.)

2. Enter [*][8] [Installer Code] to go to Installer Program-

ming.

3. Enter Section [20] for Keypad Programming. There are

eight programming locations in this section, one for each

keypad slot.

4. Enter a 2-digit number (01-08) to specify which zone num-

ber should be assigned to the keypad slot. This number

must be entered in the location corresponding to the keypad

to which each zone is connected.

5. Press [#] twice to exit Installer Programming.

Example: The zone on an PK5500 keypad in Slot 8 is to be

assigned Zone 3. In Section [020], scroll to Option [8] and enter

(03).

Note: Keypad Zones 1-4 will replace Zone terminals Z1-Z4 on

the control panel.

Note: Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also pro-

gram zone definitions and zone attributes. (See also 5.2 Pro-

gramming Worksheets).

Note: Keypad zones can only be used for household burglary-

initiated devices. Do not place the device more than 3 feet from

the keypad. The keypad zone must be tested weekly.

entry and exit. Once a dry and secure location is selected, per-

form the following steps to mount the keypad:

1. Remove the keypad frontplate by inserting a screwdriver

into the slots located on the top of the keypad.

2. Secure the keypad backplate to the wall in the desired loca-

tion. Use all the screws provided. Use the plastic anchors

supplied if the unit is to be mounted on drywall.

3. To use the keypad tamper, insert the supplied tamper

switch into the opening located in the centre of the back-

plate, and secure the tamper to the wall with a screw.

4. For tamper use, the backplate should be mounted on a

smooth, flat surface. If mounting on a rough surface, fasten

the enclosed surface tape to the wall to even out the surface

area where the tamper will be positioned.

5. Before attaching the keypad to its backplate, complete the

keypad wiring as described in the next section.

Wiring

1. Before wiring the unit, ensure that all power (AC trans-

former and battery) is disconnected from the control panel.

2. Connect the four Keybus wires from the control panel (red,

black, yellow and green) to the keypad terminals (RED,

BLK, YEL, GRN). Consult the diagram below:

3. Connect a device, such as a door con-

tact, to the ‘Z’ terminal of the

PC1404RKZ. This eliminates the

need to run wires back to the control

panel for the device. To connect the

zone, run one wire from the device to

the ‘Z’ terminal and the other wire

from the device to the BLK (black) terminal. For powered

devices, run the red wire to the RED (positive) terminal and

the black wire to the BLK (negative) terminal. When using

end of line supervision, connect the zone according to one

of the configurations outlined in your system’s Installation

Manual.

Applying Power

Once all wiring is complete, apply power to the control panel:

1. Connect the battery leads to the battery.

2. Connect the AC transformer.

PC1404

3 Keypad Commands

Use any compatible keypad to enter commands and/or program the PC1404 security system. The LED keypad uses function and zone

indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid crystal display and

uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.

The PC1404 User Manual provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user func-

tions from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.

3.1 Arming and Disarming

For a description of basic arming and disarming, please see the PC1404 User Manual. For other methods of arming, please refer to

[*][0] – Quick Arm and [*][9][User Code] – No-Entry Arming.

The event buffer will log “armed in stay mode,” “armed in away mode,” or “armed in night mode” whenever the system is armed.

The arming procedure initiated by pressing Away function key on keypad is the same as the arming procedure initiated by entering user

codes. For CP-01 systems, if there is no exit event (delay 1 zone violated and restored) prior to the exit delay expiring, the system will

be armed in Stay mode.

In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their system. If a

non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left open 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 dis-

armed it will go into alarm. This feature can be turned OFF in Section [013], Option [6].

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 “Zone Programming” in PC1404

Programming Descriptions. For these descriptions, see the Technical Library section of http://www.dsc.com.)

When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any zones on the system have been programmed as stay/away zones, the Bypass

light will turn ON. The panel will then monitor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such as 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 system 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 Activating Stay/

Away and Night Zones”.)

Stay arming can also be initiated by pressing and holding the Stay function key for two seconds on the supported keypads, if pro-

grammed by the installer. For more information regarding Stay arming, see [000] in Keypad Function Programming in PC1404 Pro-

gramming Descriptions.

3.3 Automatic Arming

The system can be programmed to arm at the same time each day. Upon entry of this section, enter 4 digits for the 24 Hour Auto-Arm

time. At the selected Auto-Arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for the time programmed in Section [199] to warn that an Auto-

Arm is in progress. The bell can also be programmed to squawk once every 10 seconds during this warning period. When the warning

period is complete, the system will arm with no exit delay and in the Away Mode. Note: For CP-01 systems, the system will arm with

an exit delay. If no Delay 1 zone violation and restore occurs during this exit delay, the system will arm in Away mode. If a Delay 1

zone is left violated when the exit delay ends, an audible exit fault will occur if the feature is enabled. The exit delay restart feature

applies to this entry delay (see Section [18] Option 7.)

Auto-Arming can be cancelled or postponed only by entering a valid access code during the programmed warning period. When the

code has been entered, the warning will be silenced and Auto-Arming will be cancelled or postponed, depending on the programming

of Section [175]. Auto-Arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. Whenever the Auto-Arming process is canceled or post-

poned, the Auto-Arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be transmitted (if programmed).

If arming is inhibited by one of the following, the Auto-Arm Cancellation transmission will be communicated.

- AC / DC Inhibit Arm

- Latching System Tampers

- Zone Expander Supervisory Fault

Note: PC1404 only supports one entry of Auto-Arm Time programming, so the programmed time shall be used for every day.

3.4 Night Arming

Night arming is intended to arm the perimeter and restrict movement to designated areas in the interior (e.g., hallways from bedrooms

to bathrooms).

If night zones are programmed, entering [*][1] while the system is armed in stay mode will activate all interior zones except those pro-

grammed as night zones. The panel can also be armed in Night mode by pressing the Night Arm function key for 2 seconds while the

system is disarmed. The Ready light must be on (disarmed) or the system must be armed in Stay mode to Night arm the system. In

Night mode only night zones (Zone definition 37) are bypassed. When activated, no acknowledgement beeps are sounded, the exit

delay is silent and the panel logs “Armed in Night Mode.” If no night zone types are programmed, the system arms in Away mode and

the panel logs “Armed in Away Mode.”

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 informa-

tion provided. Otherwise, the functions remain the same for both keypad types.

[*][1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away and Night Zones

LED Keypad

Press [][1] to enter the bypass mode. If the Code Required for the Bypass option is enabled, enter a valid user code. The Bypass light

will flash. The keypad will turn ON the corresponding zone light to indicate a zone is bypassed. To bypass or unbypass a zone, enter the

2-digit zone number. Once the correct zones are bypassed, press [#] to exit. The Bypass light will be ON if any zones are manually

bypassed.

LCD Keypad

Press [][1] to enter the bypass mode. If the Code Required for the Bypass option is enabled, enter a valid user code. The keypad will

display ‘Scroll to View Zones’. The keypad will display the programmed zone labels for the zones and include the letter ‘O’ in the bot-

tom right corner if the zone is violated, or the letter ‘B’ if the zone is bypassed. Scroll to the appropriate zone and press the [] key to

change the bypass status (or enter the 2-digit zone number). Once the correct zones are bypassed, press [#] to exit.

Additional Bypass Commands:

Bypass Recall: Press [99]. The keypad will recall the last group of zones that were bypassed.

Clear Bypass: Press [00]. The keypad will clear the bypass on all zones.

Save Bypass: Press [95]. The keypad will save which zones are manually bypassed.

Recall Save: Press [91]. The keypad will recall the bypassed zones that were saved.

[*][1] Activate Auto-Bypassed Stay/Away and Night Zones

When the system is armed in the Stay mode by (a) arming and not exiting through a delay zone during the exit delay; or (b) pressing a

function key programmed for Stay Arm or Arming Without Entry Delay [][9], the zones programmed as “Stay/Away” or “Night” type

zones are automatically bypassed. This [] [1] command is used to remove the automatic bypass from the Stay/Away zones to fully arm

the system zones to fully or “Night” arm the system. Once this command is executed, all Stay/Away type zones will become active after

the programmed Exit Delay time, making the system armed in Night or Away mode. When the system is armed in the Away or Night

mode, if enabled by the installer, this [][1] command will bypass all of the “Stay/Away” type zones immediately, making the system

armed in Stay mode. Night or Away mode is determined by whether there is a Night zone programmed on the system.

Note: Although there is an exit delay timer running, it is only an arming delay for the Stay/Away zones, and not a true exit delay where

all non-24 hour zone types can be opened and closed for the purpose of exiting. Any zone type that is not a Stay/Away zone type will

start its alarm sequence if violated during this “exit delay”. Users should press  0 next to start a Quick Exit Delay to exit the premises.

[*][2]Trouble Display

The panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the keypad “Trouble” indi-

cator will light and the audible indication will sound, two short beeps every 10 seconds (except AC failure). When the [#] key is pressed

the audible indication will stop but the trouble is not cleared. Trouble conditions are logged to the Event Buffer and most troubles can

also be transmitted to the monitoring station.

To view troubles, press [] then [2]. The “Zone” lights or LCD text display the trouble conditions 1-8.

Troubles 1, 5, and 6 can be expanded for more details by pressing the corresponding [1], [5], or [6] key.

Press [#] to return to the “Ready” mode. There is no Trouble memory. The Event Buffer can be used to achieve this function.

iHold-up Zones cannot be assigned to bypass groups.

PC1404

Viewing of troubles is now permitted while armed. The various troubles are described below:

[*][3] Alarm Memory

When Disarmed, press [*] then [3] to enter the alarm memory mode. The “Memory” light will flash and any alarm caused during the

last armed period will be displayed on the zone lights.

Press [#] to return to the “Ready” mode. If [#] is not pressed, the keypad will time out in 30 seconds.

There is no memory of previous armed states. The Event Buffer can be used to achieve this function.

[*][4] Door Chime On/Off Command

When Armed/Disarmed, to turn the feature on or off, enter [*][4].The Door Chime feature is used to sound a tone from the keypad

whenever a zone programmed as a Chime type is activated. When the Door Chime feature is turned ON, the keypad will beep several

times whenever a Chime zone is activated. When the feature is being turned ON, the keypad will beep 3 times and the LCD will display

“Door Chime Feature ON”. When the feature is being turned OFF, the keypad will sound a single long tone and the LCD keypad will

display “Door Chime Feature OFF”.

[*][5] Program User Codes

The following table identifies available user codes:

When Disarmed, enter [*][5] to access the attribute programming mode.

1) The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter [*][5] whether it is a new code or an existing code

being programmed.

2) All user codes will now have a check so that they cannot be + or -1 of any other code.

Light Trouble

1Service Required: Press [1] to determine the specific trouble. Lights 1–8 will light up to indicate the trouble.

Light [1] Low Battery: The standby battery's voltage is measured under load every 3 minutes and during a System Test.

The limits of alarms and restores are determined by the Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restores) counter.

Set at 3 by default, there will be 3 Low Battery Troubles and 3 Low Battery Restores before latching. The latching is reset

at midnight or upon arming.

Light [2] Bell Circuit Trouble: If the bell circuit is overdrawn or the bell circuit is open, a keypad trouble is generated and a

Bell Circuit Trouble can be reported.

Light [3] General System Trouble: Any peripheral module trouble will be indicated and communicated with a General

Trouble, but logged to the event buffer with a detailed description.

Light [4] General System Tamper: Any peripheral module tamper will be indicated and communicated with a General

Tamper but logged to the event buffer with a detailed description.

Light [5] General System Supervisory: If the system loses Supervisory signals from a peripheral module, this will be indi-

cated and communicated with a General Supervisory but logged to the event buffer with a detailed description.

Light [6] Not used.

Light [7] PC5204 Low Battery: The PC5204 Module has detected a Low Battery Condition.

Light [8] PC5204 AC Fail: The PC5204 Module has detected an AC Power Failure. This Trouble will initiate the keypad

trouble beeps after the AC fail transmission delay if Trouble #2 is NOT present.

2AC Failure: There is no audible annunciation on AC power failure unless trouble beeps on AC failure are enabled in

Section [018] Option [8]. The system “Trouble” light will come ON but the audible indication will not sound until there is a

low battery condition. Transmission delay can be programmed for 000 to 255 minutes/hours. If the AC Fails, the battery

will be continuously checked until the panel shuts down.

3Telephone Line Monitoring Trouble (TLM): The telephone line voltage is measured every 3 seconds. If the volt-

age drops below 1 to 3 volts for the number of consecutive checks programmed in Section [377], a Telephone Line Trou-

ble is generated. This additional check denomination may fluctuate from board to board, as it is dependant on hardware

component tolerances. The TLM Restore shall occur when the value in Section [377] is reached.

4Failure to Communicate (FTC): If the digital communicator is unsuccessful in communicating with any of the pro-

grammed telephone numbers, a failure to communicate trouble will be generated. If a later attempt to communicate is

successful, the panel can also transmit the FTC restore reporting code and all previous unsuccessful events. If the digital

communicator is unsuccessful in communicating with any of the programmed telephone numbers, a failure to communi-

cate trouble will be generated. If a later attempt to communicate is successful, the panel can also transmit the FTC

restore reporting code and all previous unsuccessful events.

5Zone Fault (including Fire Zone): If any zone on the system is in the Trouble state, this trouble will be generated.

For hardwired zones (excluding Fire) using double end of line supervision, this is the shorted state. If DEOL is not used,

Zone Troubles can still be generated on Fire Zones (open state). If [5] is pressed in the Trouble mode, the keypad will

now display all of the zones in trouble. Fire Zone Faults are identified in the Event Buffer. They log a “Fault Zone X” fol-

lowed by a generic “Fire Trouble”. This has been done so that intermittent wiring problems may be tracked down via the

Event Buffer.

This trouble will be generated and displayed in the armed state if a Fire trouble is present. It will also restart the Trouble

beeps. If any zone enters this Trouble state (short), the keypad buzzers will sound trouble beeps to annunciate the condi-

tion.

6Zone Tamper: This trouble is used with DEOL Zone Supervision only. If any zone is in the Tamper state, this trouble will

be generated. Zones excluded from this are Fire and zones not supporting the DEOL configuration (LINKS answer, Key-

switch). Press [6] in the Trouble mode to display all of the tampered zones. If any zone enters this Tamper state (open), the

keypad buzzers will sound trouble beeps to annunciate the condition.

7Not Used

8Loss of System Time: When the panel is powered up, the internal clock needs to be set to the correct time. This trou-

ble is cleared when an attempt is made to reset the clock.

Code Type Function

[01] – [39]

[40]

General User Codes

Master Code

Determined by attributes programmed below

3 Keypad Commands

Inherent Attributes (All codes except Installer and Maintenance)

Arm/Disarm - Any access code is valid for arming and disarming.

Command Outputs [*][7][1] - If the output requires an access code entry, any valid access code can be used.

Programmable Attributes ([*][5][Master/Supervisor Code][99][Code])

[1] Supervisor’s Code – This code is used for validation when entering the [*][5] User Code Programming section. However, this code

can only program codes which have equal or lesser attributes. These attributes are changeable.

[2] Duress Code – Duress codes are standard user codes that will transmit the Duress Reporting Code whenever the code is entered to

perform any function on the system.

Duress codes are not valid when entering [*][5], [*][6] or [*][8] sections.

A code cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a code + or -1.

[3] Zone Bypassing Enabled – This attribute controls whether the user can bypass zones. This also requires that option Code Required

for Bypassing option is turned ON.

[4] Remote Access – This attribute controls access to the system via a telephone during remote access.

[5] For Future Use

[6] For Future Use

[7] Bell Squawk upon Arming/Disarming – This attribute is used to determine whether an access code should generate an arming/dis-

arming bell squawk at the end of exit delay. The attribute is off at default for all access codes, and this feature is meant to be used when

Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming is disabled in Section [014]. However, if the away function key is pressed on the system keypad,

followed by an access code with this attribute enabled, the bell will still squawk.

[8] One-Time-Use Code – When the one-time-use code is entered on the system, the user of the code will be able to arm the panel with

the code as many times as they want. They will also be able to disarm the system using the code once per day. The disarming operation

will be reset at midnight, or if the code or its attributes are viewed in the [*][5] Access Code Programming. A code programmed as one-

time use can be used to access other star menus that require an access code.

Notes on Access Codes and Programming

Note: [*][5][MASTER CODE] [01 to 39 40] to program access codes.

[*][5][MASTER CODE][99] enters the Attribute Mode [01 to 39] to edit access code attributes.

Note: The Master Code's attributes cannot be changed.

Note: When a new code is programmed in either [*][5] or through Installer Programming, it will be checked against all other codes in

the system. If a duplicate code is found, an error tone is given, and the code is returned to what it was before it was changed. This

applies to both 4- and 6-digit codes.

Note: In [*][5] if a duress code is being programmed, it will be checked to make sure that it is not 1 digit more than any other code in

the system. This will only apply to the least significant digit and does not roll over to the next digit. If a user code is 1234, then the

duress codes 1234 and 1235 are not allowed. If the user code is 1239, then duress cannot be 1239 or 1230, but could be 1240. This

applies to both 4- and 6-digit codes.

Note: See also [006] Installer Code and [008] Maintenance Code.

Erasing an Access Code

To erase an access code, the user will have to go into the base menu and then select the user number and enter [*] as the first digit. If [*]

is entered, the system will delete the code immediately and the user will be returned to select another code.
