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, how-
ever, 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 instal-
lation 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. Win-
dows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and con-
struction 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 recom-
mended 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 detec-
tion 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 ade-
quate 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 ren-
der 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 secu-
rity 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 tem-
porary 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 sys-
tem 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 num-
ber 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 chim-
ney, 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 insuffi-
cient 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 win-
dows. 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 effec-
tiveness 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. Audi-
ble warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televi-
sions, 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 reg-
ular 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 construc-
tion 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 pru-
dently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Section 2: Installation and Wiring
2.1 Planning the System
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 loca-
tion of the main panel, all keypads, zone inputs, bell
outputs, relay outputs and 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 2.3 ‘Current Ratings –
Alarm Control Panel and Modules‘). Calculate each
wire run using the Combus wiring guidelines. Deter-
mine which wire gauge should be used and where to
place PC4204/PC4204CX modules to re-power the
Combus.
❑For Addressable devices, determine where each device
is to be located and consult the Addressable Loop wir-
ing guidelines to determine wire gauge and wiring
lengths (see 2.8 ‘AML Device Wiring‘)
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
The following terminals appear on the alarm control
panel:
2.3 Current Ratings – Alarm Control Panel and

Calculating Total Current Requirement
Once you have determined which modules will draw
power from the main panel, use the following chart to cal-
culate the Combus current.
NOTE: *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 manufac-
turer's specifications 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 modules
to communicate with each other. The four Combus termi-
nals of the main panel must be connected to the four Com-
bus 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)
1000' (305m)1000' (305m)
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 interfer-
ence. If shielded wire is used, the maximum distance a
module can be located from the main panel is signifi-
cantly 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).
5. Do not run Combus wire runs in parallel with AML
wire runs. Maintain minimum 2” separation between
the cables.
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/PC4204CX 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 Combus.
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 Com-
bus 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/PC4204CX Power Supply
PC4204/PC4204CX power supply modules are required
to power additional modules and devices when the total
current from the main panel is insufficient. A PC4204/
PC4204CX should also be used if excessive line loss is
encountered.

PC4204/PC4204CX Current Requirement
AUX
AUXAUX
AUX - 1.0A available for devices connected to the AUX
terminal, including devices connected to relay outputs
and modules connected for Combus repower (see 2.4
‘Combus Operation and Wiring‘).
Combus Repower
Only Relay 1 on the PC4204/PC4204CX can be used for
Combus repower. The Combus must be wired to the
PC4204/PC4204CX according to the following diagram
for Combus repower:
PC4204
PC4204CX
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use any power supply other
than the PC4204/PC4204CX 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 mod-
ule, 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 reap-
ply power to the Combus and the problem module
should begin to operate as intended.
NOTE: If a power supply other than the PC4204/
PC4204CX is used, the Combus repower function will
not operate as intended.
NOTE: New versions of the PC4204/PC4204CX power
supply module have a jumper marked ‘J1’. Ensure that
this jumper is configured for ’Combus Relay’. Other-
wise, the power reset function will not operate. For
more information regarding the PC4204/PC4204CX,
please refer to the PC4204/PC4204CX 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 Supervi-
sion’ section. See 5.1 ‘Zone Supervision‘ for instructions.
NOTE: Fire, LINKS Supervisory, LINKS Answer, AC Delay
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 5600Ωresis-
tor across them. If the zone is shorted or
open, it will be violated. Resistors
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 trou-
ble 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/ ontacts on one loop are not
allowed, the tamper condition will not be monitored.
2.6 Specialized Zone Wiring
Some zones require wiring configurations unique to the
selected zone type. These zones are listed below. For infor-
mation regarding the various zone types, please see 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 (contacts
close). A Fire Zone trouble will be generated when the loop
is opened (wire break). Typically, fire alarm initiating con-
tacts originate from 4-wire smoke detectors. These types of
detectors must be wired as shown in the diagram below.
Installation and Wiring
5
SECTION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
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 resistor. 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/GSM1000/
LINKS2150/LINKS2450 only. If the LINKS experiences a
trouble condition, 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 wir-
ing information.
LINKS Answer Zone
This zone is for use with a LINKS1000/GSM1000 only. In
case of a telephone line failure, the panel can be uploaded/
downloaded 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 wired according to the following dia-
gram:
AC Delay Zone
This zone is for use with a LINKS1000/GSM1000. If the
LINKS experiences an AC trouble condition, a LINKS out-
put 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 wir-
ing information.
2.7 Programmable Output
Wiring
The PGM output is a program-
mable terminal and will connect
to +12V when activated. The ter-
minal can source a maximum
current of 50mA. If the desired
current is higher than 50mA, a
relay will be required. To con-
nect the relay, refer to the above diagram. Each output can
be programmed as one of numerous available output
options. See 11.3 ‘Programmable 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 128 addressable
devices. Connect the addressable loop to PGM1 and/or
PGM2, when programmed for AML operation. If only one
loop is used, then all 128 devices can be on the loop. If both
PGM1 and PGM2 are used, the 128 devices can be divided
between the two in any ratio that suits the application.
For instructions on configuring PGM1/PGM2 for AML
operation, and for AML device enrollment, see 4.4 ‘Enroll-
ing AML Devices‘.
NOTE: The panel must be powered down when adding
or removing devices from the AMLbus.
Addressable Devices
The following addressable devices are available:
• AMS-220/220T smoke detector with optional tempera-
ture sensor
• AMB-300 PIR detector
• AMB-500 ceiling PIR detector
• AMB-600 dual PIR detector
• AMA-100 glass break detector
• AMP-700 magnetic door/window contact
• AMP-701 contact input module
• AMP-702 fire alarm contact input module
• AMX-400 repeater/isolator module
• AML-770 isolator module
Addressable Loop Response Time
The overall system response time for devices on the AML
loop depends on 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
Response Time (seconds)
Response Time = 1.348 + (0.036 x # of zones)
Response Time = 1.348 + (0.036 x # of zones)Response Time = 1.348 + (0.036 x # of zones)
Response Time = 1.348 + (0.036 x # of zones)
Use this formula on the PGM with the greater number of
zones to find the loop response for both PGMs.
6
Addressable Loop Current Calculation
Each addressable multiplex loop can draw a maximum
of 170mA of current from the main panel. In order to
determine 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 distances depending on the total
loop curent:
Addressable Loop Wiring
AML devices can be
home-run, connected in a
daisy chain, or T-tapped.
Wire the AML loop
according to the follow-
ing diagram:
This configuration is
only used for AML
devices. Please see the
Installation Instructions
provided
with each device for more information regarding opera-
tion and wiring.
For longer wire
runs, you can split
the addressable
devices onto two
or more loops
from the COM
and PGM termi-
nals. 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.
NOTE: Once the devices are connected, the PGM termi-
nal must be configured for AML operation and each
device must be enrolled. See Section 4.4 ’Enrolling AML
Devices’ for instructions.
NOTE: Do not use shielded wire runs in parallel with
each other. Do not run either AML wire run in parallel
with the Combus. Maintain minimum 2” separation
between all AML wiring and Combus wiring.
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 (provided
that the output is programmed as Command Output #2).
Typically, this output is used for providing power to latch-
ing type devices that require a power interruption in order
to reset.
2.10 Telephone Line Wiring
The telephone terminals provide connections to the
incoming telephone lines for central station reporting. The
wires from the RJ-31X jack must be connected in the fol-
lowing manner:
NOTE: There must be no other telephone equipment
connected between the control panel and the incom-
ing telephone line (e.g. answering machines, fax
machines, telephones, etc.). Ensure that plugs and
jacks meet the dimension, tolerance and metallic plat-
ing requirements of 47 CFR Part 68 Subpart F.

2.11 Bell 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.
2.12 Earth Ground Wiring
The cabinet should be earth grounded using the ground-
ing kit supplied. Ensure that the connection from the cabi-
net to the metallic cold water pipe or earth grounding 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.
2.13 Applying Power (AC and Battery)
WARNING: Do not connect the battery or transformer
until all other wiring is complete.
Battery Connection – Red & 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, 40 VA 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 transformer
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 control panel 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 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, per-
form the following:
1. Calculate the total current required when the panel is
not in alarm. This is the standby current. See section
2.4 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 PC4020 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 your distributor. 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 extinguishers. Do not
use water to put out the fire.
Do not heat the batteries. Do not dispose of the batter-
ies or circuit boards in a fire. Do not disassemble the
batteries. Do not apply pressure to or deform the bat-
teries. Ensure that the above precautions are strictly
observed by related departments, including, but not
limited to, production, sales and outside contractors.

Section 3: How to Program
3.1 Introduction to Programming
The PC4020 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 [5555]. To change the Installer’s Code,
see 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:

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 Ref # then *’.’Enter Ref # then *’.
’Enter Ref # then *’.
Enter the reference number found in the P
rogramming
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
Account Number 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
Programming
Work she et s
before beginning to program each section.
Many sections require a specific number of digits. Once all
digits have been entered, the control panel will automati-
cally 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 program
all 32 digits.

3.4 Programming Hexadecimal Data
Hexadecimal or ’Hex’ digits are often required for a pro-
gramming 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 followed
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 PC4020 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.

When enrolling PC4108A, PC4116, PC4204/PC4204CX,
PC4216, PC44XX, PC4702, PC4820, PC4850, PC4164 or
alternate communicator modules, the message ’Create
Tamper On Desired Unit’ will be displayed. 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/PC4204CX Mod 01
Enrolled’). Record the module number in the program-
ming worksheets. 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), 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 automatically indi-
cate the type of expander and will confirm enrollment (e.g.
’PC4116 Mod 01 Enrolled’).
Zones 1 to 16 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 17 to 24 and the second will be
assigned zones 25 to 32.
The system can have a maximum of 128 zones. To confirm
which zones are assigned to which expander, press any key
when the enrollment confirmation message is displayed.
NOTE: Be sure to record the zones assigned to each
zone expander module in the System Overview section
of the Programming Worksheets.
The PC4164 is a wireless receiver. When you enroll a
PC4164 module, you can enroll up to 64 wireless devices on
the system.
You can enroll up to eight PC4164 wireless receivers. This
will give you a greater range in which to install wireless
devices. It will also allow you to install backup wireless
receivers with overlapping ranges, to provide increased
security for the wireless zones on the system.
NOTE: The maximum number of wireless zones you can
enroll on the system is 64, even if you install more than
one PC4164 wireless receiver.
ESCORT4580, PC4701 and PC4936 Enrollment
When enrolling the ESCORT4580, the PC4701 or the
PC4936, the keypad will display the message ’Looking for
PC4XXX Module’. 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 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 enroll is displayed. Press [*] to select.
4. Scroll to the correct module type, then to the correct
module number. For example, to delete LCD45XX
Module 04, scroll to ’LCD45XX (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.

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. LCD45XX 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 2.8 ‘AML
Device Wiring‘.
Enroll the AML devices
after
all PC4108A, PC4164 and
PC4116 modules have been enrolled.
Programming the PGM Terminal for an AML Loop
Ref #: [001400]
To enroll addressable multiplex loop (AML) devices, you
must first program the PGM terminal you have selected
for the loop. Perform the following:
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.
3. To select PGM2 for AML devices, scroll to ’PGM2
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
Ref #: [00140400] for PGM2
NOTE: All AML devices must be connected before they
are enrolled.
To enroll the device, perform the following:
1. FOR DEVICES TO BE ENROLLED ON PGM1: Enter
Installer’s Programming and enter reference number
[00140300].
FOR DEVICES TO BE ENROLLED ON PGM2: Enter
Installer’s Programming and enter reference number
[00140400].
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 001 to 128 on
the PC4020 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 number
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.
AML Key
Ref #: [001401]
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure system security, the
AML Key must be programmed when using AML
devices.
The AML 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 AML Key from [00] to
another 2-digit number (01-FF). When the AML Key is
changed, the panel broadcasts the new code to each
addressable device. Any device added to the system with
a AML Key other than the one programmed or the default
[00] will not function.
When an addressable device is deleted, the panel repro-
grams the device’s AML 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. FOR DEVICES TO BE MOVED ON PGM1: Enter
Installer’s Programming and enter reference number
[00140300].
FOR DEVICES TO BE MOVED ON PGM2: Enter
Installer’s Programming and enter reference number
[00140400].
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 001 to 128 on the PC4020 can
be used as a AML zone.
4. The zone definition and attributes must also be pro-
grammed for the new zone.
To another zone on a different loop
When moving devices to another loop, they must be
deleted from the first loop by following the instructions in
’Removing AML Devices’ (see below). The device’s serial
number can then be re-entered on the other loop as indi-
cated in ’To Enroll an AML Device’ (see above).
Removing AML Devices
Ref #: [00140301] for PGM1
Ref #: [00140401] for PGM2
When removing AML devices, they must be deleted from
the loop. If the device is not deleted, its AML Key will not
be reset to [00].
To remove an AML device from the system, perform the
following:
1. For devices to be deleted from PGM1: Enter
Installer’s Programming and enter ref# [00140301].
For devices to be deleted from PGM2: Enter
Installer’s Programming and enter ref# [00140401].
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

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 pro-
gramming partitions. This will include indicating the num-
ber of partitions and programming the available options
for each. Partitions must be programmed individually.
NOTE: If you do not wish to use partitions, you must
assign all zones which will be used to Partition 1 (see 5.3
‘Adding Zones to Partitions‘).
There are five basic programming items for each partition:
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 or 6-digit partition account number. Partitions can
all report using the same account number, or each can be
programmed differently depending on your application.
Enter the four or six digits and record them into your
Pro-
gramming Worksheets
. Once you have entered all the dig-
its, the display will return to the ’Partition Acct #’ prompt.
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.

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 display
labels are programmed in a similar fashion. For instruc-
tions on programming labels, see 5.4 ‘Zone Program-
ming‘.
Deleting Partitions
Ref #: [0101]
Scroll to the partition to be deleted, then press [*]. When a
partition is deleted, the programming assigned to it will
14
not be erased. If the partition is re-enabled, the program-
ming that was entered will still be there.
NOTE: When a partition is deleted, the zones assigned
to it are removed from the Zone Assignment.
Copying Partitions
Ref #: [0102]
Enter this section to copy the programming from one par-
tition to another one. The programming that will be cop-
ied includes the Customer ID Code, Partition Toggles,
Partition Times, Access Code Levels and Command Out-
put 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 16 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 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
global zoneglobal zone
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 partition.
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 partition.
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:
•zonelabel
• 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 differ-
ent number key is pressed, the cursor will automatically
move to the right one space. To erase a character, use the
arrow keys to move the cursor under the character, then
press the [0] key.

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 flexi-
bility for areas which require more time to arm and disarm
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 vio-
lated 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 transmit a
reporting code to the central station, if programmed. The
fire output can be programmed to pulse—two seconds on,
two seconds off—or to follow one of the other fire bell pat-
terns (see 11.3 ‘Programmable Output Options‘, options
49-53). If an open condition is present, the panel will
immediately display and communicate a trouble condi-
tion. 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 Sec-
tion 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 com-
munication 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 Sec-
tion 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 cen-
tral station, if programmed.
NOTE: In order for this zone to operate, the smoke
detector power supply must be connected to an output
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 wiring dia-
gram or Section 2.9 ’Zone Wiring’ for fire zone configu-
ration.
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 the central station. The
Waterflow zone will also follow the Waterflow delay, if
programmed (see 10.9 ‘Transmission Delay‘).
NOTE: Waterflow zones always require single EOL resis-
tors 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 circuit is
detected. When the zone is open, a zone trouble will be
indicated and the keypad will beep. This zone will not
activate the verbal alarm feature on the PC4936.
24 Hour Zones (Types 12-23)
These zones are always active. When violated, they will
create an alarm, whether the partition is armed or dis-
armed.
For Types 16-21
For Types 16-21For Types 16-21
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.

24Hr Quick Bypass (24)
Quick Bypass zones are armed at all times. Users can tem-
porarily bypass all Quick Bypass zones on a partition by
either pressing the Quick Bypass function key, or entering
[*][6][access code][14].
NOTE: It is recommended that the Quick Bypass func-
tion key be used.
When a user enters the Quick Bypass command, the zone
will be bypassed for the amount of time that was pro-
grammed in the Quick Bypass Duration
Quick Bypass DurationQuick Bypass Duration
Quick Bypass Duration section.
If the zone is open when the Quick Bypass Duration timer
expires, the panel will begin the Quick Bypass Pre-alert
Quick Bypass Pre-alertQuick Bypass Pre-alert
Quick Bypass Pre-alert.
During the pre-alert, the buzzers of all the keypads on the
partition will sound.
Users can silence the pre-alert and start the Quick Bypass
Duration timer by either entering the Quick Bypass com-
mand, or a valid access code.
The zone will be restored at the end of the Quick Bypass
Pre-alert time, if it has been closed. If the zone is still open
when the pre-alert time expires, the zone will go into
alarm. The panel will log the alarm to the event buffer and
will transmit the alarm (if programmed), but the alarm
will not be recorded in alarm memory ([*][3] command).
If another Quick Bypass zone is violated during the pre-
alert sequence, both zones will go into alarm at the end of
the pre-alert period.
If the zone has been bypassed using the [*][1] menu, the
pre-alert will not be triggered and the zone will not go into
alarm when it is violated.
When you program any zone on a partition as 24Hr Quick
Bypass, you should also program these partition times:
Quick Bypass Duration
Quick Bypass DurationQuick Bypass Duration
Quick Bypass Duration
Ref#: [0100XX0206] where XX = Partition 01-08
Program the amount of time (seconds) that 24Hr Quick
Bypass zones on the partition will remain bypassed when
a user enters a quick bypass command.
Quick Bypass Pre-alert
Quick Bypass Pre-alertQuick Bypass Pre-alert
Quick Bypass Pre-alert
Ref#: [0100XX0207] where XX = Partition 01-08
Program the amount of time (seconds) that the pre-alert
will sound when the zone is violated.
NOTE: If you assign a Quick Bypass zone to more than
one partition, then the quick bypass duration and pre-
alert times must be the same on each of the partitions.
Latching 24 Hr (25)
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 (26)
A momentary closure of this zone will alternately arm and
disarm the partition. This zone can be used with a key-
switch 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 (27)
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 (28)
When this zone is tripped, the panel will instantly pick up
the telephone lines to search for a downloading computer.
Do not use this zone type to monitor for alarms.
LINKS Sup (29)
The LINKS Supervisory zone is used with a LINKS mod-
ule to monitor for 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 ’Specialized
Zone Wiring’ for zone configuration.
LINKS Answer (30)
The panel can be uploaded/downloaded via the cellular
network. If the LINKS1000/GSM1000 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.
AC Delay (31)
When this zone is violated the panel will begin to count
the AC TX Delay time. When this time expires the panel
will transmit the General System Trouble event and
annunciate an AC Trouble on all partitions. When the
zone is restored the panel will again count the AC TX
Delay Time before restoring the trouble and transmitting
the General System Trouble Restore event.
NOTE: AC Delay zone always requires single EOL resis-
tors regardless of any other programming. Refer to the
wiring diagram or Section 2.5 ’Zone Wiring’ for zone
configuration.
