KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

Introduction

The PC1 150 keypad provides complete control of the PC1 150 control panel. The panel can be completely

programmed from the keypad. The 4 zone lights provide alarm and status indication for the alarm circuits, and
three function lights advise the user of system status. The built-in sounder lets the user hear correct key entries
and other alert signals. The

keypad is used for code entry and other programming functions. Alarms

may be activated by pressing and holding two keys at the same time;

and

All other

keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.

Master Code

The Master Code is factory set at “1234”; this code should be changed after the system is installed. The

Master Code is used to arm and disarm the panel, to reset the sounder after an alarm, to program up to 5
additional Access Codes, and to perform other user functions. The panel’s default program allows the user
to change the Master Code. The panel can be programmed by the installer so that the user cannot change
the Master Code. See Section

Second System Option Codes, Light 2.

2nd

Master Code

A Second Master Code can be programmed into the PC1 150. This code can be changed by the installer only,
and is useful where there are multiple panels in an installation. The Second Master Code may be used as a

“Master Key”. The 2nd Master Code does not have a factory-set code.

Programming Code

The Installer’s Programming Code is factory set as “1212”; this code should be changed when the system is

installed. Using this code and the

command, the installer can perform programming functions.

Arming

Before arming the panel, close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas protected by
motion detectors. If the “System” light is on, check for trouble conditions (refer to

Display Troubles) and

correct the condition. Ensure that any bypassed zones are bypassed intentionally; refer to

Bypass

Zones. If the “Ready” light is not on, one or more zones are open; the system can only be armed when the

“Ready” light is ON.

To arm the system, enter a 4-digit Access Code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. When
a valid Access Code has been entered the “Armed” light will come ON and the keypad will beep 6 times. If
the Access Code has been entered incorrectly, the keypad will sound a single long tone. Press the

Key and

enter the Access Code again.

When a valid Access Code has been entered and the “Armed” light is ON, leave the premises through the
designated Entry-Exit door before the Exit Delay expires. At the end of the Exit Delay, all lights on the keypad
will be shut OFF except for the “Armed” light.

Refer to

Installer’s Programming Section for instructions on changing the Exit Delay time.

Auto-Bypass /Home-Away

Arming

If an Access Code is entered and the Exit-Entry zone is not activated, the system will arm with interior zones

automatically bypassed if those zones have been programmed as “Home-Away” zones.

This feature is designed for the user who wishes to remain at home with the system armed. When this feature

is enabled, the user does not have to manually bypass the interior zones.

To reactivate the automatically bypassed interior zones, enter
