About Your Security System S E C T I O N 1 Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. The liquid crystal display (LCD) keypad guides you through each operation with easy-to-understand prompts. With unique sound sequences, the keypad signals faults and other indications of system status. Read this manual carefully to become familiar with the features that have been implemented on your system.
Zones and Areas The security system has several zones (monitored areas). Each of these zones will be connected to a sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). If a sensor goes into alarm, the keypad displays a message (i.e. zone in alarm). Your installer may have divided the system into different areas. Each area includes one or more zones, and can be turned on and off independently of other areas.
Turning Off Automatic Arming S E C T I O N 2 Automatic arming (auto-arming) is when the system automatically turns on one or more areas of the system at preset times. Your installer may have set up your system to automatically arm at specific times. All users can delay auto-arming for a pre-set period of time. Ask your installer how long the automatic arming will be delayed. Supervisor and Master users can cancel autoarming until midnight of the same day.
Step 5. The keypad displays: Automatic Arming Has Been Delayed or Automatic Arming is now Cancelled If you have delayed automatic arming, the system will try again to arm the system at the end of the delay time programmed by your installer. If you have cancelled automatic arming, automatic arming will work again, as scheduled, starting the following day. If there are more areas that will be auto-armed, the keypad displays the next area. Step 6.
Using Access Cards S E C T I O N 3 NOTE: This section only applies to systems that have card readers and the PC6820 access control module installed. Talk to your installer for information regarding the access control capabilities of your system. If your system has access control capabilities, instruct your users on the use of their access cards. All four types of users may use access cards.
Changing the Setup of Detectors S E C T I O N 4 If you will need access to a protected area (i.e. a part of the premises covered by a detector) while the system is armed, or if a detector is not working, you can either bypass or disable the detector. When you tell the system to bypass a detector, it will exclude the selected detector from the armed areas the next time the system is armed. Bypassed detectors will not be able to sound an alarm.
