SPECIFICATIONS Control Panel Specifications Remote Keypad Specifications (PC2550RK) 13 zones including: • • • • • Four wire (QUAD) hook-up and up to 3 keypads per system • Built-in piezoelectric buzzer • Full annunciation of zones and system status • Nominal current draw 60 mA • Dimensions 5.5" x 4.
FEATURES Keypad Programming Advanced Features The PC2550 comes with a default program so it is operational with a minimum of programming. It is completely programmable from the keypad. The panel uses EEPROM memory so that all information is retained even if the panel loses both AC and battery power. The PC2550 has many advanced features. Features which provide the security system design flexibility and selling advantage necessary to win those demanding jobs and make them profitable.
INSTALLATION Bench Testing If all the zones are properly connected with end of line resistors all of the zone lights will be off. Note that the panel will arm only if all zones are properly connected with end of line resistors (including FIRE circuit) so that the “Ready” light is on. The keypad should beep several times to indicate acceptance of the master code. Enter the Master Code to arm or disarm the panel.
buzzer or other DC operated device may be connected between the 11 VDC “AUX” (positive) terminal and the “PGM OUT” (switched negative) terminal on the main board. to supply AC power to the PC2550. The transformer should not be connected to an outlet that is controlled by a switch. If AC failure occurs it is displayed as a trouble on the keypad (see “Keypad Functions [✱][2] Trouble Conditions”).
panel. Connect all yellow wires from the keypads to the “YEL” terminal on the panel. Connect all red wires from the keypads to the “RED” terminal. Connect all black wires from the keypads to the “BLK” terminal. Power-up Procedure If the keypads are located a distance from the panel, install an extra keypad temporarily at the panel during power up testing. An extra keypad with a short length of cable and alligator clips attached is helpful for testing and programming PC2550 systems.
GUIDELINES FOR SMOKE DETECTOR LOCATION Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments using typical fires in family living units indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, NFPA standard 74 requires smoke detectors to be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each additional story of the family unit.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS Introduction Programming [✱][8] Command” section for instructions on how to change the exit time. Also see, “Quick Arm” and “At Home Arming”. The PC2550RK remote keypad provides complete information and control of the PC2550 control panel. The panel can be fully programmed from the keypad. The 8 zone lights and the fire alarm light provide alarm and status indication for the alarm circuits. The 6 function lights guide the user in operating the system.
3 Day Zone Trouble...This trouble applies only to zones which have been programmed as day zones. (“Programming Guide” section [14]). A day zone creates a trouble signal when the panel is disarmed and an alarm signal when the panel is armed. entered. Once the bypass command is entered, pressing [9] recalls the last zone or group of zones which was bypassed. If the same group of zones is bypassed each time, this bypass recall feature can be used instead of having to bypass zones individually.
programmed then the entire programming can be reset to factory default by using the “Hardware Reset” method described on page 23. 8 To successfully program or remove additional codes, the panel must be put into the code program mode by following step 1 followed by steps 3 or 4. Note that if no key entry is made for 2 minutes the panel will go back to the normal arm/disarm mode, after which step 1 must be repeated to get back into the code program mode. 9 To exit the code program mode press [#].
The auto-arm will be attempted at the same time the following day. Any time an auto-arm is aborted using one of the above methods, the reporting code programmed in section [08] will be transmitted to the central station. When the panel does arm by auto-arming, any open zones will be “Force-armed”. If light 5 in section [18] is on, the panel will send a partial closing code to let the central station know zones were bypassed.
Quick Exit This output can be used for operating other devices such as garage door opener, special lighting or door strikes. The programmable output must be selected for keypad utility using the [✱][8][Installer’s Code][30] command and programming a [2], [3], [4] or [5]. Depending on the option chosen in the programming section, the programmable output is activated by pressing the [✱] then [7] keys followed by a Group A access code, Group B access code, any access code, or no code at all.
UL LISTED COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATIONS The installation requirements listed below must be met for the following grades of service. Control of the Protected Premises In order to have a UL Certificated system the protected area is to be under the responsibility of one ownership and management (i.e. one business under one name). This may be a group of buildings attached or unattached with different addresses but under the responsibility of someone having mutual interest.
PRINTER SETUP Note: Printer option has not been verified by UL. The PC2550 with version 1.0 or higher software is capable of sending data to a local printer. The printer must be capable of serial communication (RS232). The PC2550 should work with most serial printers, however the printers on the following list are strongly recommended. Compatible printers: 1. Brother M-1109 2. Brother M-1809 3. Star DP 40 4. Epson EP 40 5. C - Itoh model 8510 B 6. Citizen 120-D with serial card 7.

DOWNLOADING The PC2550 supports the DSC “downloading” package. See the downloading manual for details on specific capabilities. There are several sections pertaining to the downloading feature which must be programmed. machine defeat option (Answering Machine Over-ride). Downloading and Answering Machine The PC2550 software provides a means to handle downloading when an answering machine is also connected to the telephone line.
PROGRAMMING GUIDE Introduction F (in “HEX” numbering the letters A...F represent the numbers 10...15). Where commands require “HEX” data A-F, first press [✱]. The keys 1-6 now assume the hex values A-F and the “Ready” light begins to flash. Key 1=A, Key 2=B, Key 3=C, Key 4=D, Key 5=E and Key 6=F. Pressing the [✱] again stops the “Ready” light from flashing and the keys assume the normal values for the numbers from 1 to 9.
