Section 2: Pre-Programming Procedures and Defaults
Before beginning PFC-4064 programming, install the panel following the directions included in the PFC-4064 Installation
and Operations Manual (Potter document # 5403638). Failure to properly install and wire the physical panel and any devices/
accessories being used in conjunction with it can result in system errors and difculty in programming, as well as potentially
damaging the re alarm system.
System Defaults: Input Circuit
The PFC-4064 has a total of 6 built-in input circuits available for use. These inputs are for monitoring devices such as smoke
detectors, pull stations and waterow switches. The terminals for input devices (shown below) are located at the top right
corner of the control panel’s circuit board. Each circuit has a factory default setting that can be used to connect to a specic
type of input device for ease of installation and programming.
System Defaults: Output Circuit
The PFC-4064 has a total of 4 built-in output notication appliance circuits (NACs) available for use. These outputs are for
notication devices, The output NAC terminals (shown below) are located at the bottom right corner of the control panel’s

Section 5: Manual Programming Overview
The panel can be programmed using either the keypad or Potter’s panel programming software.
The Programming Cycle
The following is the recommended approach to program the FACP via the panel’s keypad. Active selections are indicated in
Italics in this manual, while the panel will indicate an active selection with a small ashing arrow on the screen where the “=”
symbol is. The “Enter” button is used to access a menu and save any changes.
System Setup: Software Zone Attributes
To begin setting up zones and points on the PFC-4064 system, press “Enter” on the keypad to bring up the Main Menu. Scroll
down to Programming using the arrow keys, or press “6”. NOTE: Full menu trees are shown in Section 5
You will be prompted to enter an access code. The default code is 1111, which can be changed under “8 = User Codes” in
the System Setup submenu at a later date for security purposes. When the code is entered, the PFC 4064 will automatically
take you to the Programming sub menu shown below.
Once inside the programming options, select “System Setup”, then press “Enter” to bring up the System Setup sub menu
shown below, then select “Zones”. This is where software zones are congured. In latter steps, input circuits and output
circuits (NACs) are assigned to these software zones. The attributes assigned to these zones will inuence how the circuits
operate. Options include; Alarm or Supervisory zone styles ,silenceable or non-silenceable signaling devices, latching or non
latching, etc.
Once inside the Zones sub menu, you can edit each zone’s (in order) style, name, count, latching, local zone, output pattern,
auto silence/unsilence, silence inhibit time, restore delay, relay activate delay. A full name of the selected eld will alternate
between itself and “Press ENTER to edit” at the bottom of the screen. Use the right arrow button to access all the available
options.

To edit/rename an entry, select the eld you would like to change using the arrow keys. Press “Enter” to open the eld,
which should display (example shown below) with the rst character blinking. Once the eld is available, scroll through the
available characters to nd the letter, number, or special character desired using the Up/Down arrow keys. Move to the next
character space using the left/right arrow keys. When nished, press “Enter” to save changes.
Note: When selecting the order the zones are listed in, the screen will allow you to change the number through either the up/
down arrow keys or by manually typing in the order number preferred. All single digit number selections must use a zero. It
is highly recommended that the assigned zone name and number is written down to avoid confusion and programming errors.
System Setup: Points
Once the software zones are established, the next step is to congure the input circuits and NAC circuits (Points) of the
re alarm system. Points are input or output signal devices, with the functions and description of both being set here. The
on-board output NAC & Aux Power circuits will be found under Built-In Power Supply while the on-board input zones are
located under Built-In IDC6
It is recommended to do this immediately after setting up the Zones.
Within the Programming submenu, select System Setup, then select Points.
You will then have a choice between setting up points for the Built-in Power Supply (used for NAC output devices such
as horns, strobes, door holders, etc) or the Built-in IDC6 (used for input devices such as smoke detectors, pull stations,
owswitches, etc.). Use the right arrow button to access all the available options.

To edit/rename an entry, select the eld you would like to change using the arrow keys as done when setting up the software
zones. Press “Enter” to open the eld. Once the eld is available, scroll through the available characters to nd the letter,
number, or special character desired using the Up/Down arrow keys. Move to the next character space using the left/right
arrow keys. When nished, press “Enter” to save changes before pressing “ESC”.
When selecting the order the points are listed in, the screen will allow you to change the number through either the up/down
arrow keys or by manually typing in the order number preferred. All single digit number selections must use a zero. It is
highly recommended that the assigned point name and number is written down to avoid confusion and programming errors.
When selecting a Point Function, use the up/down arrow keys to select a function for the notication or signaling circuit.

System Setup: Assign Zones
Once the input and output points have been set, they will need to be assigned to an appropriate zone. Zones are where input
and output device correlations are established. An Input Circuit will activate an output circuit (NAC) when they are assigned
to the same zone. Circuits that initiate an Alarm are assigned to Alarm Style Zones. Circuits that initiate a Supervisory signal
must be assigned to a supervisory style zone.
Within the Programming submenu, select System Setup, then select Assign Zones.
When inside the Zone Assignment submenu, you’ll have the option to add or delete points to the software zones you
established earlier.
Select “Add to Zone” or “Delete From Zone” to bring up the selection screen. The options are through the Power Supply and
IDC6, which contain the respective points you programmed into each earlier.
Scroll through the available points previously assigned by using the up/down arrow keys. Select the point being assigned or
deleted by pressing “Enter”.
You will see one of the following two screens displayed as shown below depending on whether the point is being added
or deleted. Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the available choices, then press “Enter” when the zone number
desired has been reached and highlighted by the ashing arrow. You will receive a message on the screen stating “Point has
been added /deleted” if done correctly.
Note: If a point has already been assigned to the zone selected, you will receive a message stating so.

Section 6: DACT Programming
The PFC-4064 uses a Potter UD-1000 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) which allows for communication
with a monitoring station.
The Programming Cycle
The following is the recommended approach to program the UD-1000 via the panel’s keypad. Before beginning
programming, ensure the card and phone cords have been properly installed following the directions listed in the UD-1000
Installation Manual (Potter document # 5406079) and the LEARN programming has been run.
To change the defaults, go to the Programming submenu, enter the four digit access code when prompted, then go to the
System Setup submenu, and select “PLink Devices”.
Once in the PLink Devices submenu, select “Edit Device” to begin programming the UD-1000. Scroll down to and select the
appropriate “Dialer #” [number (#) will be determined during the LEARN programming] from the list.

• Line Monitor enables the device to monitor the phone line voltage. Options are Yes or No.
• Dialtone Detection enables the device to monitor the phone line dial tone. Options are Yes or No.
