WARNING: This manual contains information on limitations
regarding product use and function and information on the
limitations as to liability of the manufacturer. The entire
manual should be carefully read.

WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however,
involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm sys-
tem of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of these reasons may be:
■Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation
should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks
and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
■Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is pos-
sible 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 con-
ditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the
batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance
will keep the system in good operating condition.
■Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or
near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
■System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is
important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know
how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
■Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of rea-
sons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke
may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the resi-
dence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warn-
ing to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
■Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-
ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness
can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional
or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters,
radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
■Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if
there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be
interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appli-
ances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired
person.
■Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time.
Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may
be difficult to detect.
■Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be pro-
tected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system
is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
■Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to func-
tion as intended due to the failure of a component.
■Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular test-
ing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
■Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm sys-
tem also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Section 2: Installation and Wiring
2.1 Planning the System
NOTE: This system should be installed and serviced by
qualified security professionals.
The speed and efficiency of installing a MAXSYS system
will be greatly enhanced by planning the installation. As
a minimum, the following checklist should be used to
ensure that all of the details have been considered:
❑Draw a diagram of the installation showing the
location of the main panel, all keypads, all zone
inputs, all bell outputs, all relay outputs and all
annunciators.
❑Indicate all partitions on the diagram. Decide which
zones, bell and relay outputs, keypads and remote
annunciators belong to each partition.
❑Determine where each system module is going to be
located and how far each module will be from the
main panel.
❑Determine the current draw on the main panel and
each system component used to ensure the system
requirements can be met (see Section 2.3 “Current
Ratings – Alarm Control Panel and Modules”). Cal-
culate each wire run using the Combus wiring
guidelines. Determine which wire gauge should be
used and where to place PC4204 modules to re-
power the Combus.
❑For Addressable devices, determine where each
device is to be located and consult the Addressable
Loop wiring guidelines to determine wire gauge
and wiring lengths (see Section 2.8 “AML Device
Wiring”).

output of the alarm control panel and power supply
modules cannot be exceeded. Use the data below to
ensure that the available current is not exceeded.
PC4010 Alarm Control Panel
AUX - 500mA available for devices connected to the
AUX, SAUX+ and PGM terminals and modules con-
nected to Combus terminals. At least 100mA must be
reserved for the Combus. To calculate the amount of cur-
rent required, complete the following chart:

Calculating Total Current Requirement
Once you have determined which modules will draw
power from the main panel, use the following chart to
calculate the Combus current.
* These units draw current from the Combus to power
devices external to the module. This current must be added
to the total Combus current. See manufacturer's specifica-
tions for the current draw of each device. Each LED assembly
draws up to 20mA of current.
2.4 Combus Operation and Wiring
The Combus is used by the control panel and the mod-
ules to communicate with each other. The four Combus
terminals of the main panel must be connected to the
four Combus terminals or wires of all modules.
Modules can be home run, connected in a daisy chain or
T-tapped anywhere on the Combus.
The following rules MUST be followed when wiring the
Combus:
1. The Combus must be run in minimum 22-gauge
wire.
2. No module can be more than 1000' (305m) in cable
length from the main control panel.
3. Shielded wire should only be used in areas that
present excessive RF noise or electromagnetic inter-
ference. If shielded wire is used, the maximum dis-
tance a module can be located from the main panel is
significantly reduced. Check the capacitance limit of

the wire to calculate the maximum distance (see
“Capacitance Limits” below).
4. The total capacitance of the Combus wiring must not
exceed 80nF (see “Capacitance Limits” below).
Line Loss
When current is drawn through a piece of wire, voltage
will be lost due to the wire’s resistance. This voltage loss
must be considered for all installations.
To ensure proper operation, at least 12.5VDC must be
applied to all modules on the system (when AC is
applied and the battery is fully charged). If less than
12.5VDC is applied, system operation will be adversely
affected.
To correct the problem, try any or all of the following:
1. Connect a PC4204 power supply near the module to
provide power to the Combus.
2. Reduce the length of the Combus run to the module.
3. Increase the gauge of wire.
Capacitance Limits
An increase in capacitance on the Combus will affect
data transmission and will cause the system to slow
down. Capacitance will increase for every foot of wire
added to the Combus. The capacitance rating of the wire
used will determine the maximum length of the Com-
bus.
For example, 22-gauge, non-shielded, 4-conductor wire
has a typical capacitance rating of 20 picofarads per foot
(which is 20nF/1000’). For every 1000' of wire added –
regardless of where it is run – the capacitance of the
Combus will increase by 20nF.
The following chart indicates the total Combus wire
allowed depending on the capacitance rating of the wire
used:
Wires run in parallel also increase Combus capacitance.
For example, when using 20nF wire, the following
would be some of the combinations allowed:
• Four wire runs at 1000'/305m each
• Six wire runs at 666'/203m each
• Eight wire runs at 500'/152m each
• 10 wire runs at 400'/122m each etc…
NOTE: Contact the wire manufacturer for the capaci-
tance ratings of the wire being used.
PC4204 Power Supply
PC4204 power supply modules are required to power
additional modules and devices when the total current
from the main panel is insufficient. A PC4204 should also
be used if excessive line loss is encountered.
PC4204 Current Requirement
AUX - 1.5A available for devices connected to the AUX
terminal, including devices connected to relay outputs
and modules connected for Combus repower (see Sec-
tion 2.4 “Combus Operation and Wiring”).
Combus Repower
Only Relay 1 on the PC4204 can be used for Combus
repower. The Combus must be wired to the PC4204
according to the following diagram for Combus
repower:
PC4204
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use any power supply
other than the PC4204 to repower the Combus. In the
event of a power surge or transient, a module may
lock up and cease to communicate with the control
panel. If the panel loses communication with the
module, it will initiate a module reset and will power
down the Combus for five seconds in an attempt to
reset the problem module. After five seconds, the
panel will reapply power to the Combus and the
problem module should begin to operate as
intended.
If a power supply other than the PC4204 is used, the
Combus repower function will not operate as
intended.
NOTE: New versions of the PC4204 power supply
module have a jumper marked ‘J1’. Ensure that this
jumper is configured for “Combus Relay.” Otherwise,
the power reset function will not operate. For more
information regarding the PC4204, please refer to the
PC4204 Installation Instructions.
2.5 Zone Wiring
Zones on the system are wired according to the diagrams
below. Once you have selected which type of zone super-
vision you require, you must program the “Zone Super-
vision” section. See Section 5.1 “Zone Supervision” for
instructions.
NOTE: Fire, LINKS Supervisory, LINKS Answer or
Forced Answer zones always use single EOL supervi-
sion, regardless of the programmed zone supervision.
No End of Line (No EOL)
All No EOL zones are normally closed
loops. The zone will be violated when it
is open.

Single End of Line (EOL)
All Single EOL zones have a 5600Ωresistor across them.
If the zone is shorted or open, it will be violated. Resis-
tors should always be placed at the device end of the
wire run.
If programmed as a fire or waterflow zone, the open
zone will generate a trouble condition and the short will
generate an alarm.
Double End of Line (DEOL)
All Double EOL zones have two 5600Ωresistors across
them. DEOL loops will allow the panel to detect zone
faults, zone tampers, violated zones and restored zones.
Resistors should always be placed at the device end of
the wire run.
NOTE: Only normally closed detection devices can be
used with this type of zone supervision. Only one nor-
mally closed contact can be connected to each zone;
multiple detection devices or contacts on one loop are
not allowed, as the tamper condition will not be mon-
itored.
2.6 Specialized Zone Wiring
Some zones require wiring configurations unique to the
selected zone type. These zones are listed below. For
information regarding the various zone types, please see
Section 5.4 “Zone Programming.”
Fire Zone
This zone type uses normally open contacts. The zone
will initiate a fire alarm when the loop is shorted (con-
tacts close). A Fire Zone trouble will be generated when
the loop is opened (wire break). Typically, fire alarm initi-
ating contacts originate from 4-wire smoke detectors.
These types of detectors must be wired as shown in the
diagram below.
The power for the 4-wire detectors must be supervised
with an end-of-line relay (RM-1). The contacts of that
relay are wired in series with the zone end-of-line resis-
tor. With the relay energized, the relay contacts are
closed and the zone is normal. If the power is lost, the
relay de-energizes, the contacts open and a zone trouble
is initiated.
Multiple fire initiating normally open contacts may be
used in parallel on the loop. Do not include burglary or
other types of devices on a fire zone.
NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG wire is required for Listed
Residential Fire Alarm Systems.
Keyswitch Zone
Zones programmed as keyswitch arming zones must be
wired according to one the following diagrams:
LINKS Supervisory Zone
This zone is for use with a LINKS1000/LINKS2150/
LINKS2450 only. If the LINKS experiences a trouble con-
dition, a LINKS output can be used to violate this zone
type and the event will be reported to the central station.
See the corresponding LINKS Installation Manual for
wiring information.
LINKS Answer Zone
This zone is for use with a LINKS1000 only. In case of a
telephone line failure, the panel can be uploaded/down-
loaded via the cellular network. If the LINKS detects an
incoming call, it will activate an output that can be used
to violate this zone type. This will force the panel to
answer the cellular call and will begin communications
with the downloading computer.
This zone must be programmed as LINKS Answer and is
wired according to the following diagram:

6
2.7 Programmable Output Wiring
The PGM output is a programmable terminal and will
connect to +12V when activated. The terminal can sink a
maximum current of 50mA. If the desired current is
higher than 50mA, a relay will be required. To connect
the relay, refer to the diagram below:
Each output can be programmed as one of numerous
available output options. See Section 11.4 “Programma-
ble Output Options” for a complete list of PGM output
options.
2.8 AML Device Wiring
Addressable Multiplex Loop (AML) devices use a 2-wire
connection for power and to communicate to and from
the control panel. All detectors are designed for low
power consumption to make for an efficient system.
The system can accommodate up to 56 addressable
devices. Connect the addressable loop to PGM1, when
programmed for AML operation. For instructions on
configuring PGM1 for AML operation, and for AML
device enrollment, see Section 4.4 “Enrolling AML
Devices.”
NOTE: If AML zones are being used, ensure that the
Power Up Shunt option is enabled (default = enabled).
Addressable Devices
The following addressable devices are available:
• AMS-220/220T Smoke Detector with optional temper-
ature sensor*
• AMB-300 PIR Detector
• AMB-500 Ceiling Mount PIR
• AMB-600 Dual PIR Detector
• AMA-100 Glass Break Detector
• AMP-700 Magnetic Door/Window Contact
• AMP-701 Contact Input Module
*Fire alarm devices cannot be placed on the same loop as
burglary devices.
Addressable Loop Response Time
The overall system response time for devices on the
AML loop depends on two criteria: how many loops are
used and how many devices are on each loop.
The response times below include three factors:
• input debounce time
• addressable reporting and confirmation time
• processing time required by the panel to activate the
output
These response times are worst case and typical response
will be faster.
1 to 32 devices on the loop ................................up to 2.5s
33 to 56 devices on the loop ..............................up to 5.4s
Addressable Loop Current Calculation
The addressable multiplex loop can draw a maximum of
170mA of current from the main panel. In order to deter-
mine the amount of current required for the AML loop,
complete the following chart:
When more AML
devices are added
to a single loop, the
current draw
increases. The loop
wire length must
be limited to the
following dis-
tances depending
on the total loop
current:
Addressable Loop Wiring
AML devices can be
home-run, connected in
a daisy chain, or T-
tapped. Wire the AML
loop according to the
following diagram:
This configuration is
only used for AML
devices. Please see the
installation sheet provided with each device for more
information regarding operation and wiring.

SECTION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
For longer wire
runs, you can
split the
addressable
devices onto
two or more
loops from the
COM and PGM
terminals. For example, 32 AMB-300 detectors (2.5mA
each) take 80mA total. In one 18AWG wire run, this
would allow a maximum length of 720 feet (220 m). If
you split the 32 devices into two wire runs of 16 detectors
each, using 18AWG wire, each wire run could be 1736
feet (529 m) long. See the diagram above.
NOTE: No end-of-line resistors are required when
installing these devices.
Once the devices are connected, the PGM terminal
must be configured for AML operation and each
device must be enrolled. See Section 4.4 “Enrolling
AML Devices” for instructions
2.9 Wiring Powered Devices (AUX, SAUX+)
AUX – Auxiliary Power
These terminals can be used to power motion detectors,
glass break detectors and other devices requiring power.
The AUX (positive) and GND (negative) terminals can
provide up to 500mA of current.
SAUX+ – Switched Auxiliary Power
This terminal provides positive power (12VDC) and can
be de-energized via the [*][7][2] keypad command (pro-
vided that the output is programmed as Command Out-
put #2). Typically, this output is used for providing
power to latching type devices that require a power
interruption in order to reset.
2.10Telephone Line Wiring
The telephone terminals provide connections to the
incoming telephone lines for central station reporting.
The wires from the RJ31-X jack must be connected in the
following manner:
NOTE: For proper operation, there must be no other
telephone equipment connected between the control
panel and the incoming telephone line (e.g. answer-
ing machines, fax machines, telephones, etc.). Ensure
that plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance
and metallic plating requirements of 47 CFR Part 68
Subpart F.
2.11Bell Output Wiring (BELL+and BELL-)
These terminals are used for powering
bells, sirens or other devices requiring
steady output voltage on alarm. The
panel can provide up to 2A short-term
or 700mA long-term current. The out-
put is supervised. A trouble condition
will be generated when the bell con-
nection is lost. If no bell or siren is
being used, connect a 1000Ωresistor
across the BELL+ and BELL- terminals
to eliminate a trouble condition.
To ensure proper operation, the wire length of the bell
loop must be considered.
Consult the following chart to determine the maximum
wire length for the bell loop with respect to current. The
values reflect the use of a 30 watt siren.
To increase the length, double up on wire. For example,
when using 22-gauge quad, use two conductors for the
Bell+ connection and two for the Bell-. This effectively
doubles the maximum distance.
For UL residential installations, when a bell or siren is
used for fire signaling with a pulsed cadence, it must be
connected between the AUX+ and BELL- terminals. To
maintain bell circuit supervision, do not connect more
than one device to the BELL- terminal. A fire bell or siren
used for this application must be UL Listed and have a
current consumption of 400mA or less (e.g. Wheelock
MT-12/24-R).
NOTE: For Commercial Fire applications, you must use
the PC4010CF and the PC4702BP.
2.12Earth Ground Wiring
The cabinet should be earth grounded using the ground-
ing kit supplied. Ensure that the connection from the
cabinet to the metallic cold water pipe or earth ground-
ing rod is made with minimum 14-gauge solid copper
wire.

The EGND terminal must be connected to earth ground
to enable ground fault detection. A Ground Fault trouble
will be indicated if any conductor on the system has a
resistance to earth ground of 40kΩor less.
Only earth ground the main panel and the first module
connected to the telephone line.
2.13Applying Power (AC and Battery)
WARNING: Do not connect the battery or trans-
former until all other wiring is complete.
Battery Connection – Red and Black Battery
Leads
Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of
the battery and the black lead to the negative terminal.
WARNING: Observe the correct polarity. If the battery
is connected backwards, the panel will not operate.
AC Power Terminals
WARNING: Connect the battery before connecting
the AC.
A 16.5V, 40VA transformer connected to an unswitched
AC power source should be wired to these terminals.
To achieve the rated outputs as previously described, the
AC input must be connected to the secondary of a trans-
former rated at 16 VAC, 40VA minimum. The trans-
former is not supplied with the equipment and must be
mounted outside the cabinet.
Do not connect the transformer primary to an outlet that
is controlled by a switch.
The PC4010 monitors the presence of AC. Upon the loss
of AC power a trouble condition will be generated. The
keypad trouble light will turn on. If programmed, the
keypad will also beep. For more information regarding
AC options, see Section 10.1 “AC/DC Power Options.”
Applying Power to the Main Panel
Once all field wiring has been completed and checked
for opens, shorts and grounds, power can be applied to
the panel as follows:
1. Connect the battery leads.
2. Connect the AC transformer.
The panel will not power up correctly if AC power is
applied before the battery is connected.
Battery Selection Charts
The charts below are to determine the battery required to
support the main panel for either 24 hours or 60 hours in
the standby mode. The battery size is measured in amp
hours (Ah). To determine the appropriate battery size,
perform the following:
1. Calculate the total current required when the panel is
not in alarm. This is the standby current. See Section
2.3 for further information on current calculation.
2. Determine the current that will be drawn when the
panel is in alarm.
3. On the chart below, find the standby current on the hor-
izontal axis and the alarm current on the vertical axis.
4. Find the region of the chart where the standby current
and the alarm current values intersect. The region cor-
responds to the required battery Ah capacity.
For example:
Standby current = 500 mA
Alarm current = 2 A
On the 24Hr chart, the battery capacity required is 14Ah.
2.14 Lithium Batteries
The PC4010 circuit board includes a lithium battery.
(Please see the wiring diagram on page ii.) This battery is
not replaceable. There is a danger of explosion if the bat-
tery is incorrectly replaced.
If the lithium battery stops working, return the circuit
board to DSC Ltd. Batteries may cause a fire when in
contact with metal. If you need to dispose of the circuit
board and/or the lithium battery, wrap the battery in
non-conductive tape. Check with your local government
for battery disposal regulations.
WARNING: Do not store the batteries in such a way
that they come into contact with each other or with
any piece of metal. Explosion or fire may occur.
Should fire occur, use only dry chemical fire extin-
guishers. Do not use water to put out the fire.
Do not heat the batteries. Do not dispose of the bat-
teries or circuit boards in a fire. Do not disassemble
the batteries. Do not apply pressure to or deform the
batteries. Ensure that the above precautions are
strictly observed by related departments, including,
but not limited to, production, sales and outside con-
tractors.

Section 3: How to Program
3.1 Introduction to Programming
The PC4010 is programmed via a menu system. Use the
arrow keys (<>) to scroll through different menu options
and press the [*] key to select the menu option displayed.
Continue this procedure until the required program sec-
tion is displayed, then press the [*] key to select it. To
arrive at a program section where data can be entered
may require scrolling and selecting items from several
menus. Press the [#] to return to the previous menu.
To enter Installer’s Programming, enter [*][8][Installer’s
Code] at any keypad that is enrolled on the system.
In order to prevent unauthorized personnel from access-
ing Installer’s Programming, the Installer’s Code should
be changed from the default setting. By default, the
Installer’s Code is [4010]. To change the Installer’s Code,
see Section 7.1 “Installer’s Code.”
Once you have entered Installer’s Programming, the first
menu consists of five items, listed below. Use the arrow
keys (<>) to scroll to the desired menu item and press the
[*] key to select it:
•System Area - These programming options affect the
operation of the entire system. These options include
communications, downloading, printer options,
installer and master code programming, etc.
•Partition Area - These options are programmed for
each partition. These options include zone assign-
ments, partition times, partition options etc.
•Module Hardware - This menu is used when you
enroll the system modules and keypads.
•Event Buffer - This menu allows access to the system’s
event buffer for printing.
•Diagnostics - These options pertain to trouble condi-
tions reported by the modules.
Use the arrow keys to scroll to the message indicating the
area you wish to program and press [*]. For example, to
program the Partition 2 customer ID code, scroll to each
of the following messages and press [*]:
Scroll to... Press [*]
Press [*]
Scroll to... Press [*]
Press [*].
Enter the 4-digit Partition 2 customer ID code. The dis-
play will return to the “Customer ID Code” display.
Press [#] to return to the previous menus and to exit the
installer programming mode.
The arrow keys (<>) will appear in the top right-hand
corner of the display to indicate that there are multiple
menu items or program sections.
3.2 Programming by Reference Number
A quicker method of programming the panel is to jump
directly to a program section using the reference number
system. These reference numbers appear beside each
programming item in the Programming Worksheets, and
under each heading in the Installation Manual.
To program using reference numbers, enter Installer’s
programming([*][8][Installer’s Code]). Press and hold
the [A]uxiliary key until the keypad displays the follow-
ing message:
“Enter Ref # then *.”
Enter the reference number found in the programming
Worksheets for the section you wish to program, then
press the [*] key. The display will immediately go to the
programming item you have selected.
For example, the reference number for the Partition 2
Customer ID Code is [0100XX00]. The “XX” is the 2-digit
partition number, in this case [02].
Once the Reference Number is entered and the [*] key is
pressed, the keypad will jump directly to that program-
ming item. If an error is made when entering the refer-
ence number, use the [<] key to move the cursor back to
the first digit and re-enter the reference number.
Once you have programmed the section, you must press
[#] to save the change. Then, press and hold the [A] key to
enter another reference number.
Once you become familiar with each programming
option’s reference number, programming will become
quick and simple. If you forget a particular reference
number, you can always scroll through the menu items
in order to refresh your memory. All programming refer-
ence numbers are listed in the Programming Worksheets.
3.3 Programming Decimal Data
Some programming sections require decimal (0-9)
entries, such as zone definitions and system times. Make
sure to record all required decimal data in the Program-
ming Worksheets before beginning to program each sec-
tion.
Many sections require a specific number of digits. Once
all digits have been entered, the control panel will auto-
matically exit that section and will return to the previous
menu.
If the [#] key is pressed, only the data entered will be
changed. All programming data remaining will be left
unchanged. For example, when programming telephone
numbers, press the [#] key after the number is entered to
exit the programming item and to save having to pro-
gram all 32 digits.
PARTITION AREA < >
(01)
ADD/EDIT PAR < >

3.4 Programming Hexadecimal Data
Hexadecimal or “Hex” digits are often required for a
programming item, such as telephone numbers and
reporting codes. To insert a Hex digit into a given entry,
press the [*] key to enter the Hex menu. Use the arrow
keys to scroll through the each Hex digits (A through F).
When the desired letter is displayed, press the [*] key.
Hex digits can also be entered by pressing [*] key fol-
lowed by the number from 1-6 corresponding to each
Hex letter (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, up to F = 6). Once the digit
is entered, the control panel will automatically return to
the decimal programming mode.
For example, to enter data ‘ABCD’ on a PC4010 you
would enter: [*], [1], [*], [2], [*], [3], [*], [4]
3.5 Programming Toggle Options
Many programming items are toggle options that are
either enabled or disabled. Use the arrow keys (< >) to
scroll through the toggle options. Press the [*] key to
switch back and forth between [Y]es (enabled) and [N]o
(disabled). Once all the toggle options have been pro-
grammed, press the [#] key to save your changes and
return to the previous menu.

Section 4: Module Enrollment
4.1 Enrolling Keypads and Modules
Once the wiring of all keypads and modules is complete,
they must be enrolled on the system. Apply power to the
system by first connecting the battery, followed by the
AC transformer. All LCD keypads will display the soft-
ware version number of the keypad.
NOTE: Make sure all power to the system is OFF when
connecting modules.
NOTE: Record the location and number of each mod-
ule for future reference.
Enrolling the First Keypad to Partition 1
To enroll the first keypad, go to the keypad that is to be
assigned to Partition 1. Press any key on that keypad. The
keypad will beep and display the message “45XX Mod. #1.”
This keypad will automatically be assigned to Partition 1.
Once the first keypad has been enrolled, the rest of the sys-
tem keypads and modules can be enrolled through the
“Module Hardware” section of installer’s programming.
Enrolling All Other Keypads and Modules
Ref # [0200] then scroll to desired module
Enter the following at the keypad you have just enrolled:
1. Enter installer’s programming by pressing [*] [8]
[Installer’s Code].
NOTE: The default installer’s code is [4010].
2. Scroll to “Module Hardware” and press the [*] key.
3. The message “Enroll Module” will appear. Press [*].
4. Scroll through the different modules until the module
you wish to enroll is displayed. Press the [*] key.
LCD45XX Keypads
The keypad will display the message “Press Any Key On
Desired Unit.” Go to the keypad to be enrolled and press
any key. Return to the original keypad. A message simi-
lar to the following will appear to confirm enrollment
(e.g. “LCD4500 Mod 02 Enrolled”).
Next, you must select which partition the keypad is to
control. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired parti-
tion and press the [*] key to select. If the enrolled keypad
is slated for global operation, scroll to Option 09 “Glo-
bal” and press [*].
If you press the [#] key, the keypad will be assigned to
Partition 1 by default.
For more information regarding partition and global
keypads, see Section 6 “Keypad Operation.”
Module Tampers
When enrolling PC4108A, PC4116, PC4204, PC4216,
PC4400, PC4702, PC4820 or PC4164-RS modules, the
message “Create Tamper On Desired Unit” will be dis-
played. The tamper is required for enrollment.
To create the required tamper, secure the tamper zone on
the module and then open it. It is this transition from
secure to violated which enrolls the module. After this is
done, the keypad will display the module number and
will confirm enrollment (e.g. “PC4204 Mod 01 Enrolled”).
Record the module number in the programming work-
sheets. Once the module is enrolled, re-secure the tamper.
Zone Expanders
NOTE: Enroll all zone expanders before assigning
zones to PC4820 and AML devices.
When enrolling zone expanders (PC4108A, PC4116 and
PC4164-RS), the panel will display “PC41XX Module.” It
does not ask what type of expander is being enrolled.
Once the tamper is created, the control panel will auto-
matically indicate the type of expander and will confirm
enrollment (e.g. “PC4116 Mod 01 Enrolled”).
Zones 1 to 8 are located on the main control panel. Addi-
tional zones are added in sequence. For example, if two
PC4108A zone expanders are enrolled, the first one
enrolled will be assigned zones 9 to 15 and the second
will be assigned zones 16 to 24.
The system can have a maximum of 64 zones. To confirm
which zones are assigned to which expander, press any
key when the enrollment confirmation message is dis-
played.
NOTE: Be sure to record the zones assigned to each
zone expander module in the System Overview sec-
tion of the Programming Worksheets.
The PC4164-RS is a wireless receiver. It should be the last
expander enrolled as it will reserve up to 56 zones for
wireless use. For example, if the PC4164-RS were enrolled
as the first expander, it would be assigned zones 9 to 64,
limiting the available number of hardwire zones.
If more than 8 hardwire zones are already enrolled, the
PC4164-RS will be assigned the remaining zones. For
example, if 24 zones are hardwire, the PC4164-RS will be
assigned zones 25 to 64.
ESCORT4580 and PC4701 Enrollment
When enrolling the ESCORT4580 or the PC4701, the key-
pad will display the message “Looking for PC4XXX Mod-
ule.” The panel will automatically scan the Combus for the
module. Once it is found, the panel will confirm enrollment
(e.g. “ESCORT4580 Module Enrolled”). No tamper is
required.
4.2 Deleting Modules
Ref # [0201] then scroll to desired module
Sometimes, a module must be deleted from the system.
This could be when zone expanders are enrolled out of
sequence, a keypad is assigned to the wrong Partition or
if a module is defective.
To delete a module, enter the following at any enrolled
keypad:
1. Enter installer’s programming by pressing [*] [8]
[Installer’s Code].
2. Enter reference number [0201] then press [*].
3. Scroll through the different modules until the module
you wish to delete is displayed. Press [*] to select.
4. Scroll to the correct module type, then to the correct
module number. For example, to delete LCD4501
Module 04, scroll to “LCD4501 (04).” Press the [*] key
to delete the module.
NOTE: When deleting and/or replacing zone expand-
ers, all remaining zone expanders should be re-
enrolled. This will ensure proper zone assignment and
operation.

12
4.3 Confirming Modules
Ref # [0202] then scroll to desired module
In case module numbers were not recorded, you can ver-
ify this information through the “Confirm Module”
menu in the “Module Hardware” programming section
in installer’s programming.
This works just like enrolling modules. You will be
prompted to “Press Any Key On Desired Unit” in the case
of keypads and “Create Tamper on Desired Unit” in the case
of modules. Once the correct action is taken, the keypad will
display the module number (e.g. LCD4501 Mod 02).
4.4 Enrolling AML Devices
Addressable Multiplex Loop (AML) devices use a 2-wire
connection for power and communication to and from
the control panel. All detectors are designed for low
power consumption to make for an efficient system.
For information on AML wiring, please see Section 2.8
“AML Device Wiring.”
Enroll the AML devices after all PC4108A, PC4164-RS
and PC4116 modules have been enrolled.
NOTE: Fire and burglary initiating devices can-
not be mixed on the same addressable loop.
Programming the PGM Terminal for an AML Loop
Ref #: [001400]
To enroll addressable multiplex loop (AML) devices, you
must first program the PGM terminal. Perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Enter Installer’s Programming and enter reference
number [001400].
2. To select PGM1 for AML devices, scroll to “PGM1
AML?” and press [*]. The option will toggle to Yes.
NOTE: Do not turn off the PGM AML toggle option
unless all AML devices have been removed from the
loop (see “Removing AML Devices”).
To Enroll an AML Device
Ref #: [00140300] for PGM1
NOTE: All AML devices must be connected before
they are enrolled.
To enroll the device, perform the following:
1. Enter Installer’s Programming and enter reference
number [00140300].
2. Enter the 5-digit serial number on the detector to be
enrolled.
3. If the correct serial number was entered, the panel will
allow you to select the zone that the addressable detector
will be assigned to. Any zone from zone 009 to 064 on
the PC4010 can be used as an AML zone. If the detector
is not connected to the PGM terminal, the zone will not
be enrolled. Do not use zones designated for Access Control.
Repeat from Step 2 until all AML devices have been enrolled.
If the zone serial number is already programmed into the
panel, the panel will display the message “Already
Enrolled” on the top line of the LCD and the serial num-
ber on the bottom line of the LCD for three seconds. The
panel will then display the zone assignment for the
device. This allows for the reassignment of an existing
zone or to verify programming.
NOTE: Only the AMS-220/220T devices may be
defined as fire zones. Do not program other AML
devices as fire zones.
Panel Key
Ref #: [001401]
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure system security, the panel
key must be programmed when using AML devices.
The Panel Key is a 2-digit code that acts as a security lock
for the AML detectors. Once you have enrolled all AML
zones, you must change the panel key from [00] to
another 2-digit number (01-FF). When the panel key is
changed, the panel broadcasts the new code to each
addressable device. Any device added to the system
with a panel key other than the one programmed or the
default [00] will not function.
When an addressable device is deleted, panel repro-
grams the device’s Panel Key to 00. This allows the
device to be re-enrolled on another system.
Moving AML Devices
To another zone on the same loop
1. Enter Installer’s Programming and enter reference
number [00140300].
2. Enter the device’s 5-digit serial number. The keypad
display will read “Already Enrolled [serial number]”
to indicate that the device has already been enrolled.
3. After three seconds, the display will indicate the
device’s zone assignment. Enter the new zone num-
ber. Any zone from zone 009 to 064 on the PC4010
can be used as a AML zone.
4. The zone definition and attributes must also be pro-
grammed for the new zone.
Removing AML Devices
Ref #: [00140301] for PGM1
When removing AML devices, they must be deleted
from the loop. If the device is not deleted, its panel key
will not be reset to [00].
To remove an AML device from the system, perform the
following:
1. For devices to be deleted: Enter Installer’s Program-
ming and enter ref# [00140301].
2. The display will read “Serial# [ ]” on the top line of
the display and the zone label on the bottom line of
the display. Use the [<][>] keys to scroll to the zone to
be deleted then press [*]. The bottom line of the dis-
play will then read “Zone Deleted.”
3. To delete all AML devices from the selected PGM
output, select Default AML. The panel will display
“Confirm Default Press [*]”. To delete all AML
devices on the selected PGM, press [*].

Section 5: Partitions and Zones
5.1 Zone Supervision
Ref # [000204] “Zone Supervision”
The control panel must be instructed to supervise either
No End of Line, Single EOL or Double EOL zone loops.
These three options are described in Section 2.5 “Zone
Wiring.”
To program this option, perform the following:
1. Enter installer’s programming by pressing [*] [8]
[Installer’s Code].
2. Enter reference number [000204] and press [*].
3. Scroll through the three supervision types. Press [*] to
select the supervision type you require.
5.2 Creating Partitions
Once all system wiring has been completed and you
have enrolled your keypads and modules, you can begin
programming partitions. This will include indicating the
number of partitions and programming the available
options for each. Partitions must be programmed indi-
vidually.
NOTE: If you do not wish to use partitions, you must
assign all zones which will be used to Partition 1 (see
section 5.3 “Adding Zones to Partitions”).
There are five basic programming items for each parti-
tion:
1. Programming the partition account number.
2. Programming the partition toggle options.
3. Programming the partition times (entry and exit
delay times, etc.).
4. Adding zones to the partition and defining each zone
(zone label, zone type and attributes).
5. Programming the partition label.
Partition Account Number
Ref #: [0100XX00] where XX = partition number
Enter a 4-digit partition account number. Partitions can
all report using the same account number, or each can be
programmed differently depending on your application.
Enter four digits and record them into your Program-
ming Worksheets. Once you have entered four digits, the
display will return to the “Customer ID Code” prompt.
NOTE: 6-digit account codes are available for the SIA
format. See Section 12.4 “Communicator Toggle
Options.”
Partition Toggle Options
Ref #: [0100XX01] where XX = partition number
There are numerous partition options which can be
either enabled (select “Y” for yes) or disabled (select “N”
for no). Pressing [*] will toggle between the yes and no
options.
The following partition toggle options generally pertain
to the operation of the keypads, the entry and exit delay
options and the end user feature accessibility for the
selected partition. These features are explained in detail
in other sections of the manual. Below is a list of the
available options followed by their default. Each option
is described later in this manual in the specified sections.

Partition Times
Ref #: [0100XX02] where XX = partition number
There are six different partition times to be programmed.
See the corresponding section for further information
regarding each timer:
• Entry Delay – Section 9.1 “Entry/Exit Delay Times”
• Exit Delay – Section 9.1 “Entry/Exit Delay Times”
• Auxiliary Entry Delay – Section 9.1 “Entry/Exit Delay
Times”
• Auxiliary Exit Delay – Section 9.1 “Entry/Exit Delay
Times”
• Delinquency – a Closing Delinquency reporting code
will be sent if the partition is not armed for the number
of days programmed in this section.
• Autoarm Pre-alert – Section 8.2 “Automatic Arming”
Three digits are required for each entry.
Zone Assignment
Ref #: [0100XX03] where XX = partition number
This procedure is outlined in Section 5.3 “Adding Zones
to Partitions.”
Partition Labels
Ref #: [0100XX04] where XX = partition number
Program partition labels in this section. All system dis-
play labels are programmed in a similar fashion. For
instructions on programming labels, see Section 5.4
“Zone Programming.”
Deleting Partitions
Ref #: [0101]

14
Scroll to the partition to be deleted, then press [*]. When
a partition is deleted, the programming assigned to it
will not be erased. If the partition is re-enabled, the pro-
gramming that was entered will still be there.
NOTE: When a partition is deleted, the zones
assigned to it are removed from the Zone Assign-
ment.
Copying Partitions
Ref #: [0102]
Enter this section to copy the programming from one
partition to another one. The programming that will be
copied includes the Customer ID Code, Partition Tog-
gles, Partition Times, Access Code Levels and Command
Output Labels. The zone assignment will not be copied.
To copy a partition:
1. The panel will prompt “From Which Partition”. Scroll
to the partition you want to copy programming from.
Press [*].
2. The panel will prompt “To Which Partition”. Scroll to
the partition you want to copy programming to.
Press [*].
Both partitions now have the same programming.
5.3 Adding Zones to Partitions
Add New Zone
Ref #: [0100XX0300] where XX = partition number
Zones must be assigned to partitions in order for them to
operate. By default, the first 8 zones on the control panel
are assigned to Partition 1. When you select this menu
item, the panel will display the first zone not assigned to
the partition. Use the arrow keys (<>) to scroll through
the zones not assigned to the partition. When the zone to
be added is displayed, press the [*] key to select it.
Once you have selected the zone to add, there are three
items to be programmed:
1. Zone Label: this 14-character label will appear on the
LCD display of the keypad.
2. Zone Type: this determines how the zone will oper-
ate.
3. Zone Attributes: these attributes are toggled on and
off and affect how the zone will function.
For instructions on programming these items, see Section
5.4 “Zone Programming.”
Press [#] once you have finished programming a zone.
The keypad will display the next available zone to be
added.
Global Zones
If a given zone is added to more than one partition, it
becomes a global zone. A global zone differs from single
partition zones in the following ways:
• A global zone will not be armed until all partitions to
which the zone is assigned are armed.
• A global Delay type zone will follow the longest pro-
grammed delay time of the partitions it is assigned to.
• A global Stay/Away type zone will not be activated
until all partitions the zone is assigned to are armed in
the Away mode, or the interior has been activated by
pressing [*] [1].
• When a global zone is manually bypassed, as soon as
any partition the zone is assigned to is disarmed, the
zone will no longer be bypassed.
Edit Zone
Ref #: [0100XX0301] where XX = partition number
When you select this menu item, the panel will display
the first zone assigned to the partition. Use the arrow
keys (<>) to scroll through the zones assigned to the par-
tition. When the zone to be edited is displayed, press the
[*] key to select it.
Adding and editing zones follow the same menu system.
All options for editing a zone are described in Section 5.4
“Zone Programming.”
Delete Zone
Ref #: [0100XX0302] where XX = partition number
When you select this menu item, the panel will display
the first zone assigned to the partition. Use the arrow
keys (<>) to scroll through the zones assigned to the par-
tition. When the zone to be deleted is displayed, press
the [*] key to delete it. Press the [#] key to exit once all
zones not required for the partition have been deleted.
5.4 Zone Programming
Ref #: [0100XX0301YYY] where XX = partition number
and YYY = zone number
Once a zone has been added to a partition, you must pro-
gram the following:
• zone label
• zone type
• zone attributes
To program the zone, enter the reference number indi-
cated above. Press [*] to select the zone. The three pro-
gramming items are accessible from the zone
programming menu.
Zone Labels
When the zone label programming option is selected, the
panel will display the presently programmed label
(default “Zone XXX”). Follow the instructions below to
program the label.
Programming System Labels
A cursor will appear under the first letter of the default
label. Move the cursor to left or right by pressing the
arrow (< >) keys. The letters of the alphabet have been
divided up among the number keys 1 to 9 on the keypad
as follows:
[1] = A, B, C, 1 [2] = D, E, F, 2 [3] = G, H, I, 3
[4] = J, K, L, 4 [5] = M, N, O, 5 [6] = P, Q, R, 6
[7] = S, T, U, 7 [8] = V, W, X, 8 [9] = Y, Z, 9, 0
[0] = Space
For example, if you press the [4] key once, the letter “J”
will appear above the cursor on the display. Press the [4]
key again, the next letter “K” will appear, and so on. If a
different number key is pressed, the cursor will automat-
ically move to the right one space. To erase a character,
use the arrow keys to move the cursor under the charac-
ter, then press the [0] key.
There are other options when programming labels. Press
the [*] key to call up the options menu. Scroll through the
options using the arrow (< >) keys, then press the [*] key
to select.

gramming.
Zone Types
The following is a description of each zone type:
Standard Delay (00)
Standard Delay zones have an entry and exit delay. The
exit delay will begin as soon as arming is initiated. The
delay zone may be opened and closed during the delay
time without causing an alarm. After the exit delay time
has expired, the zone is armed. Opening the zone will
start the entry delay. If the panel is disarmed before the
entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.
Auxiliary Delay (01)
The Auxiliary Delay zone operates the same way as the
Delay zone, except different entry and exit delay times
can be programmed: Auxiliary Entry and Auxiliary Exit
Delay. Having a second delay zone provides greater flex-
ibility for areas which require more time to arm and dis-
arm the system.
Instant (02)
An Instant zone will be armed when the exit delay
expires. Violating this zone when armed will cause an
instant alarm.
Interior (03)
An Interior zone will be armed when the exit delay
expires. If a Delay zone is violated first, this zone will
wait for the Delay time before going into alarm. If this
zone is violated first, it will create an instant alarm.
Interior Delay (04)
When the partition is armed in the Away mode (interior
zones active), this zone will operate as an Interior zone.
When the partition is armed in the Stay mode (interior
zones bypassed), this zone will operate as a delay zone.
Interior Stay/Away (05)
This zone acts as an interior zone. The zone will be auto-
matically bypassed if no delay zone on the partition is
violated during the exit delay or if the partition is armed
in the Stay mode.
Delay Stay/Away (06)
This zone will operate the same as the Delay zone with
one exception: this zone will be automatically bypassed
if the partition is armed in the Stay mode.
Standard Fire (07)
When a Standard Fire zone goes into alarm, the panel
will activate all fire outputs and will immediately trans-
mit a reporting code to the central station, if pro-
grammed. The fire output can be programmed to
pulse—two seconds on, two seconds off—or to follow
one of the other fire bell patterns (see Section 11.5 “Pro-
grammable Output Options,” options 49-53). If an open
condition is present, the panel will immediately display
and communicate a trouble condition. All keypads will
annunciate the trouble by activating the Trouble light
and beeping twice every ten seconds. The keypads can
be silenced by pressing any key.
NOTE: Fire zones always require single EOL resistors
regardless of any other programming. Never program
a fire zone as silent. Refer to the wiring diagram or
Section 2.9 “Zone Wiring” for fire zone configuration.
Delayed Fire (08)
This fire zone works the same way as a Standard Fire
zone except that the alarm memory and communication
are delayed by 30 seconds. The fire outputs are activated
immediately. The alarm can be acknowledged by the
user by pressing any key before the 30-second delay
expires.
If the alarm is acknowledged, the panel will silence the
alarm and delay communication of the signal for 90 sec-
onds to allow the user a chance to correct the problem. If
the Delayed Fire zone is still in alarm 90 seconds later,
the panel will again activate the fire output and delay
communication for 30 seconds, at which point the user
can acknowledge the alarm again.
If the alarm is not acknowledged, the panel will latch the
alarm after the 30-second delay and will communicate to
the central station.
NOTE: Fire zones always require single EOL resistors
regardless of any other programming. Never program
a fire zone as silent. Refer to the wiring diagram or
Section 2.9 “Zone Wiring” for fire zone configuration.
Auto Verifying Fire (09)
Auto verify Fire zones operate similar to Standard Fire
zones. When the zone goes into alarm, the panel will per-
form a sensor reset for 20 seconds and then will wait 10
seconds for the detectors to clear. If the same zone goes
into alarm within 60 seconds, the panel will immediately
activate the fire outputs and will communicate to the
central station, if programmed.
NOTE: In order for this zone to operate, the smoke
detector power supply must be connected to an out-
put programmed as Command Output #2.
NOTE: Fire zones always require single EOL resistors
regardless of the programmed zone supervision.
Never program a fire zone as silent. Refer to the wir-
ing diagram or Section 2.9 “Zone Wiring” for fire
zone configuration.
Waterflow (10)
When an alarm occurs, the fire outputs will activate. If
programmed, the panel will immediately send a Water-
flow Alarm reporting code to central station. The Water-
flow zone will also follow the Waterflow delay, if
programmed (see Section 10.9 “Transmission Delays”).

16
NOTE: Waterflow zones always require single EOL
resistors regardless of any other programming. Refer
to the wiring diagram or Section 2.9 “Zone Wiring”
for zone configuration.
Fire Supervisory (11)
A Fire Supervisory zone monitors fire critical systems to
indicate when those systems are in a condition that could
prevent normal operation. This zone will indicate an
“Off-Normal Supervisory” condition when a short cir-
cuit is detected. When the zone is open, a zone trouble
will be indicated and the keypad will beep.
24 Hour Zones (Types 12-24)
These zones are always active. When violated, they will
create an alarm, whether the partition is armed or dis-
armed.
For Types 16-21: When violated, the panel will immedi-
ately latch the bell outputs and will communicate to the
central station. Each zone has a different SIA identifier.
•24 Hr Bell (12): This zone, when violated, will activate
the burglary outputs.
•24 Hr Bell/Buzzer (13): This zone, when violated, will
create an alarm whether the partition is armed or dis-
armed. However, if the panel is armed, it will activate
the burglary outputs; if disarmed it will activate the
keypad buzzer.
•24 Hr Buzzer (14): This zone, when violated, will acti-
vate the keypad buzzer.
•24 Hr Technical (15): This zone is silent.
•24 Hr Gas (16): This zone is audible.
•24 Hr Heat (17): This zone is pulsed audible.
•24 Hr Medical (18): This zone is silent.
•24 Hr Emergency (19): This zone is audible.
•24 Hr Water (20): This zone is audible.
•24 Hr Freeze (21): This zone is audible.
•24 Hr Holdup (22): This zone is silent. It does not acti-
vate Burglary outputs or the Latched Strobe output.
•24 Hr Panic (23): This zone is silent. It does not activate
Burglary outputs or the Latched Strobe output.
Latching 24 Hr (24)
When violated, this zone will operate the same as the 24
hour bell zone (12) with one exception: the installer’s
mode ([*][8]) must be entered before the system can be
armed. The keypad display will read “Arming Inhibited
Call for Service.” This is to ensure that the problem will
be examined by the installer.
Momentary Arm (25)
A momentary closure of this zone will alternately arm
and disarm the partition. This zone can be used with a
keyswitch to arm and disarm the system.
NOTE: This zone type must not be used as a global
zone. If a keyswitch zone has been tampered or
faulted, the zone must be restored before it can be
used to arm or disarm the system.
Maintained Arm (26)
When this zone is closed, the partition will disarm. When
this zone is violated, the partition will be armed. This
zone can be used with a keyswitch to arm and disarm the
system.
NOTE: This zone type must not be used as a global
zone. If a keyswitch zone has been tampered or
faulted, the zone must be restored before it can be
used to arm or disarm the system.
Forced Answer (27)
When this zone is tripped, the panel will instantly pick
up the telephone lines to search for a downloading com-
puter. Do not use this zone type to monitor for alarms.
LINKS Sup (28)
The LINKS Supervisory zone is used with a LINKS mod-
ule to monitor for LINKS troubles. When the LINKS
PGM output activates, a LINKS trouble will be logged on
the event buffer and the zone trouble will be transmitted.
NOTE: LINKS Supervisory zones always require single
EOL resistors regardless of any other programming.
Refer to the wiring diagram or Section 2.6 “Special-
ized Zone Wiring” for zone configuration.
LINKS Answer (29)
The panel can be uploaded/downloaded via the cellular
network. If the LINKS1000 detects an incoming call, it
will activate an output which can be used to violate this
zone type, forcing the panel to answer the cellular call
and begin communicating with the downloading com-
puter.
NOTE: LINKS Answer zones always require single EOL
resistors regardless of any other programming. Refer
to the wiring diagram or Section 2.5 “Zone Wiring”
for zone configuration.
Zone Attributes
The following is a description of each zone option. Scroll
through each option and press [*] to toggle between on
and off. When all necessary changes are made, press [#]
to return to the previous menu.
Each zone type has different attributes enabled by
default. For a list of these default settings, see the PC4010
Programming Worksheets.
•Bell Audible – This will determine whether the zone
will activate bell outputs and PGM outputs pro-
grammed to sound fire/burglary alarms when an
alarm occurs. Select [Y] for audible, [N] for silent.
•Bell Pulsed – This will determine how the bell outputs
and PGM outputs programmed to sound fire/burglary
alarms will sound for an alarm. Select [Y] for pulsed,
[N] for steady.
•Bypass Enable – This will allow the zone to be manu-
ally bypassed. Select [Y] to allow bypassing by the
user, [N] to prevent it. This attribute should not be
enabled for Fire zones.
•Chime Function – If the door chime option is enabled,
keypad will chime both when the zone is violated and
restored. Select [Y] for chime, [N] for no chime. To acti-
vate/deactivate the Door Chime feature for a partition,
enter [*][4] at a keypad.
•Force Arm – When force arming is enabled, the parti-
tion(s) the zone is assigned to can be armed even if the
zone is not secure. The zone will be temporarily
bypassed and will be added back into the system if it is
later restored. Select [Y] to enable this feature. If [N] is
selected, the zone must be secured or manually
bypassed before arming will be allowed.
