INSTRUCTION MANUAL PC25OO Incidence of Harm Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be required; however, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service if such action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly notify the customer and will be given the opportunity to correct the situation. Additional Telephone Company Information The security control panel must be properly connected to the telephone line with a USOC RJ-31X telephone jack. The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to party lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Inter-connect rules may vary from state to state. Changes in Telephone Company Equipment of Facilities The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required and proper in its business. Should any such changes render the customer's terminal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be given adequate notice to the effect modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company. Equipment Maintenance Facility If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact the facility indicated below for information on obtaining service or repairs.

Read this manual carefully and become familiar with the operation of your Security System. Your installer will tell you which commands listed in this manual apply to your system. Fill out the SYSTEM REFERENCE sheet in this manual and store it in a safe place for future reference. The label provided for the inside of the keypad door can be used to record which sensors are on each zone. IMPORTANT NOTE Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place of prudent security practices or life and property insurance. It is important to test your system every week. To do this, first inform the monitoring station that you are testing your system. Then, with the system disarmed, activate all detection sensors one at a time and observe the zone light come on at the keypad as each sensor is activated. Perform a bell test by entering [ ],[6],[Master Code],[8] with the system disarmed. The PC2500 can be programmed at the time of installation to automatically perform a test transmission to the monitoring station on a regular basis. If the system has not been programmed for this automatic test, call the monitoring station for instructions on how to perform a test transmission. Don't forget to inform the monitoring station when you have finished your test. Check to see if the "Trouble" light is on when arming the system. See the Trouble Display section in this manual for a description of the different trouble conditions. Contact your installer for assistance if the trouble condition cannot be located and corrected. HOW YOUR SYSTEM WORKS Your Security System is made up of a control panel, one or more keypads, and various detectors and sensors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility room or basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer to have access to the control panel. The keypad(s) have an audible indicator, display lights and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. Keypads are mounted in convenient areas close to the exit-entry doors. The security system has up to eight zones or areas of protection. Each zone used will have connected to it various sensors, such as door or window contacts, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors and vibration or shock sensors. When a sensor is in alarm, a keypad light will be on to indicate which zone is in alarm. 2 MASTER CODE The 4 digit Master Code is used for arming and disarming the system, for programming additional access codes, and for changing other features. The Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time and may be changed by you at any time if the installer selects an option. For additional access codes, see Programming Additional Access Codes. ARMING Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by motion detectors. If the "Bypass" light is ON, be sure zones are being intentionally bypassed before arming the system (see Zone Bypassing). Check to see that the "Ready" light is ON (all zones are closed). The system cannot be armed unless the "Ready" light is ON. Enter a [4 digit access code]. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. Once the correct access code is entered, the "Armed" light will come ON and the keypad sounder will beep quickly. If the access code was entered incorrectly or the "Ready" light was not ON, the keypad sounder will beep steadily for 2 seconds. When the correct access code is entered and the system is armed, exit through the door indicated by your installer as the exit-entry door. The exit time may be changed by your installer (please refer to the Quick-Arm feature). AUTO-BYPASS OPTION - HOME-AWAY ARMING This feature, if selected by your installer, will allow you to arm your system with any valid access code and the system will automatically bypass the interior zones if those interior zones have been designated as home-away zones by the installer. When activated, the "Bypass" light will come ON. If you exit within the allowed exit time, the system will automatically reactivate the interior zones. This feature is designed to save the user from having to manually bypass interior zones each time they wish to arm the system and remain at home. In residential applications where the system has been armed and the interior zones are automatically bypassed, the interior zones can be reactivated from a keypad outside the interior zones protection area (e.g. a bedroom). To reactivate the interior zones, press [ ] then [1] and the "Bypass" light will go out. ENTRY DELAY OFF ARMING If you wish to arm your system and eliminate the entry delay, enter [ ],[9] before your access code. The "Armed" light will flash as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. An entry through any zone programmed as a delay zone will create an instant alarm. e.g. To arm without entry delay.....Press [ ],[9],[Access Code] 3 DISARMING Enter the premises only through the door indicated by your installer as the entry door. The keypad sounder will be ON. Go to the keypad and enter the [4 digit access code]. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and enter the code again. The "Armed" light will go out and the keypad sounder will stop. The correct access code must be entered before the allowed entry time expires. The entry delay time may be changed by the installer. If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, the "Memory" light and the light for the zone which caused the alarm will start to flash and will continue flashing for 2 minutes. At the end of 2 minutes, the keypad lights will stop flashing and the keypad will return to the normal Ready condition. If you return home and find an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's and if your system is monitored, call the monitoring station. They will advise what action has been taken as a result of the alarm and whether the premises are safe to enter. If your system is not monitored, call the local police to investigate. ALARM MEMORY DISPLAY If the "Memory" light is on, an alarm has occurred since the last time the panel was armed. The alarm memory will automatically be displayed when the system is disarmed (see Disarming). Press the [ ] then [3] keys to display which zone caused the alarm. The alarm memory will be cleared when the panel is re-armed. Press the [#] key to return to Ready. ZONE BYPASSING Bypassed zones do not cause an alarm. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a zone may be temporarily bypassed until repairs can be made so that the panel can be armed. To bypass zones, enter [ ],[1] and the zone numbers to be bypassed. i.e. [1] for zone 1, [8] for zone 8. If the [0] key is pressed instead of a zone number, all zone bypasses will be removed. If the [9] key is pressed, the last group of zones which was bypassed will be recalled. Press [#] to return to Ready. For security reasons, your installer may prevent the bypass command from operating on certain zones. The "Bypass" light is ON as long as at least ONE zone is bypassed. Do not unintentionally bypass zones when arming. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled each time the panel is disarmed and must be re-applied before the next arming. 4 TROUBLE DISPLAY The PC2500 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the keypad sounder will beep quickly twice every 10 seconds and the keypad "Trouble" indicator will light. Pressing any key on the keypad will silence the beeper but the "Trouble" light will remain on until the trouble condition is cleared. If you cannot determine the cause of the trouble condition, call your installer for assistance. Press the [ ] then [2] keys to display the type of trouble. The zone lights indicate the type of trouble condition. ZONE LIGHT TROUBLE 1 .............. 2 .............. 3 .............. 4 .............. 5 .............. 6 .............. 7 .............. 8 .............. Defective Stand-by Battery AC Power Failure (see Note below) Foil Circuit Trouble Telephone Line Problem Unsuccessful Communication Attempt with Monitoring Station Bell Circuit Failure Smoke Detector Circuit Trouble Loss of Time on System Clock Press the [#] key to return to Ready. Note: The keypad buzzer will not sound for AC failure until there is also a low battery condition. The "Trouble" light will come ON as soon as AC fails and will remain on until AC restores. SMOKE DETECTOR AND FIRE ALARM RESET If your system is equipped with smoke detectors or other fire alarm detectors, use the following instructions for resetting an alarm. Before resetting a fire alarm signal, be sure you know the source of the alarm and that there is no danger (see Evacuation Pla ...
