 Access Code]. 

An exit through a Delay

Zone may be 

 as in normal arming. The system will arm as described in Auto-Bypass/ Home-Away arming

whether an exit is made or not. The “Armed” light will FLASH to indicate that the system is armed and that there

is no entry delay. If any zone is activated, an alarm will sound immediately.

Enter the premises through the designated Entry-Exit door. The keypad will sound a tone to indicate that the

system must be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter an Access Code. If an error is made entering the code,
press the   Key and enter the code again. The “Armed” light will be shut 

 the sounder will be silenced.

A valid Access Code must be entered before the Entry Delay expires or an alarm will sound. To change the

Entry Delay, refer to Installer’s Programming Section 

If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, the “System” light and the zone lights of the zones that went
into alarm will FLASH for two minutes. Press the 

 Key to cancel the flashing display and to return the panel

to the “ready” mode. Refer to 

 Alarm Memory Display.

 Zone Bypassing

A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to part of the protected
area or if damage to sensors or wiring cannot be repaired immediately. The panel can be armed with one or
more zones bypassed even if the zones are open. The “Ready” and “System” lights will be ON if a zone is
bypassed. Note that fire zones cannot be bypassed.

Enter 

 to display the bypassed zones; 

 Lights of bypassed zones will come ON. Ensure that any

zone displayed as being bypassed is intentionally bypassed. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled
when the panel is disarmed.

To Bypass Zones:

Enter 

 the “System” light will start flashing.

Enter the number of the zone to be bypassed; the 

 zone light will come ON to indicate that the

zone is bypassed. To remove a bypass, enter the zone number and its zone light will be shut OFF. Enter the
zone numbers for all zones that are to be bypassed. Press [#] to return to “ready”.

To Recall Bypassed Zones:

Enter 

This command will recall the last zone or group of zones that was bypassed. If the same group of zones are
bypassed regularly, the Recall feature can be used instead of bypassing the zones individually.

Bypass Disable:

The PC1 150 can be programmed by the installer to prevent certain zones from being bypassed. Lights for
these zones will not come ON in response to the bypass command. Refer to Section 

 Zone Bypass Mask.

 Display Trouble Conditions

The PC1 150 continuously monitors a number of trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the
keypad “System” light will come ON and the sounder will sound two short beeps every 10 seconds.

silence

the sounder, press the 

 Key; the sounder will be silenced but the “System” light will remain ON until the trouble

condition is cleared. Refer to Section 

 Maintenance Alarms   Restorals for a list of trouble conditions that

can be reported to the monitoring station.
