VIEW PARTITIONS
[✱]+[6]+[ACCESS CODE]+[8]
This function will allow the user to view the status of other partitions that their
access code has been enabled for. For example, if an access code has been
enabled for partitions 1, 2 and 5, they can only view the status of these partitions.
To view the partition's status, press the [<] or [>] key to toggle through the
partitions. The partition labels will be displayed along with a letter to the far right.
The letter shows the status of that partition.
A means the partition is Armed
R means the partition is secure and Ready to be armed
N means Not ready to be armed because zones are not secure.
This function must be enabled by the installer for the user to be able to enter this
section. If the installer does not enable this section, you will hear an error tone
when selecting this section.
INSTALLERS’ PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
[✱]+[8]+[INSTALLER’S CODE]
This command is used by the installer to program the PC4000.
“AT-HOME” ARMING
[✱]+[9]+[ACCESS CODE]
Entering [✱][9] before the arming code, arms the panel without any entry delay on
the delay zones and bypasses zones that are defined as “Home-away”. This
command is used for arming the system while at home. Once the panel is Armed
in this mode, using [✱][1] will remove the bypass from those zones defined as
“Home-away” if they have NOT been manually bypassed. The [✱][1] command,
as used here, only removes the bypass from zones that were automatically
bypassed with the [✱][9] command.
QUICK ARM
[✱]+[0]
Entering [✱][0] is accepted as a valid arming code when the “Quick Arm” feature
is activated. This command is often used when individuals are required to arm the
system but not disarm it. This could be used with home visitors in the case of a
residential alarm or junior employees and maintenance staff in the case of a
commercial alarm. See instructions in the “[✱][6] User Functions Command”
section for activating the “Quick Arm” feature.
QUICK EXIT
[✱]+[0] WHEN ARMED
Entering [✱][0] when the partition is armed will allow the user 2 minutes to exit the
premises through any delay zone without altering the status of the system if the
“Quick Exit” feature is enabled. After [✱][0] is entered into an armed system, one
and only one delay zone may be tripped. Any additional activity on any other
active zone will cause that zone to begin its alarm sequence.
TROUBLE DISPLAY
[✱]+[2]
The PC4000 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of
these conditions occurs, the keypad “TROUBLE” indicator will light and the audible
indication will sound (two short beeps every 10 seconds). When the [#] key is
pressed the audible indication will stop on that partition, but the trouble indicator light
will remain ON until the trouble is cleared. Trouble conditions can also be transmitted
to the monitoring station. Press the [✱] then [2] keys to display the trouble conditions.

Press [#] to return to “READY”.
Low Battery... A battery trouble will be displayed if the battery is low, disconnected
or the battery fuse fails.
AC Power Failure... There is no audible annunciation on AC power failure. The
system “Trouble” light will come ON but the audible indication will not sound until
there is a low battery condition.
Auxiliary Supply Trouble... A trouble is generated if the auxiliary fuse fails.
Telephone Line Trouble... A telephone line trouble is generated when the line voltage
drops below 3 volts for more than 30 seconds. A keypad trouble is generated when the
system is disarmed and if selected, a local alarm sounds when the panel is armed.
Unsuccessful Communication... If the digital communicator is unsuccessful in
communicating with the monitoring station after 10 attempts, a Fail to Communicate
trouble is generated. If a later attempt to communicate is successful the trouble is
cleared.
Bell Circuit Failure... If the bell fuse opens or the bell circuit is open, a keypad
trouble and a Bell Circuit trouble transmission are generated.
Smoke Detector Loop Trouble... If a FIRE loop is open circuit, a keypad trouble and
a Fire Loop trouble transmission are generated. A trouble on the FIRE loop will
unconditionally initiate an audible indication on the keypad. This means that even if
any other previous trouble has been silenced, a FIRE loop trouble will restart the
keypad buzzer.
Loss of Internal Time... When the PC4000 is powered up, the internal time of day
clock needs to be set to the correct time. Programming the time will clear this trouble.
COMBUS Communications Fault... Contact installer.
COMBUS Low Voltage... Contact installer.
Internal Fault... Contact installer.
4204 Battery TBL... If any PC4204 relay output module’s battery drops below 11.3
volts, a battery trouble is generated.
The battery voltage is checked once every 4 minutes. So the battery trouble may not
restore instantly when the battery voltage is restored.
4204 AC Trouble... If any PC4204 relay output module loses incoming AC power,
the keypad trouble light will indicate a 4204 AC trouble. But there will be no audible
annunciation until there is also a low battery condition.
4204 AUX Trouble... If the Aux fuse on any PC4204 relay module should open or if
the Aux supply is overloaded, a 4204 Aux trouble is generated.
