About Your Security System  
Your DSC security equipment has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and  
convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's operation  
and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be equally  
instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of your zone information and access  
codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.  
Fire Detection  
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing a  
warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate number of  
detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with your local  
fire laws and recommendations. Carefully review the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.  
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes  
functional.  
Testing  
To insure that your system continues to functions as intended, you must test your system weekly. Please  
refer to “Testing Your System” on page 12 of this manual. If your system does not function properly, call  
your installing company for service.  
Monitoring  
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone lines  
to a monitoring station.  
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.  
General System Operation  
Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors and  
detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement. The metal  
cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There is no reason for anyone but  
the installer or service professional to have access to the control panel.  
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group of  
zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).  
The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The  
keypad(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/exit  
door(s).  
The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will be connected to  
one or more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm will  
be indicated by the corresponding zone lights flashing on a LED keypad or by written messages on the  
LCD keypad.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –  
your monitoring station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable  
but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security  
practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by  
qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been  
provided and on system operations.

Access Codes  
Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 37 access codes available: 1 master  
code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 supervision codes. Ask your installer for more  
information on using the duress and supervision codes.  
Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system  
features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by your  
installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.  
All access codes can be programmed by following the procedure outlined in “Programming Security  
Codes” on page 6.  
NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer has  
programmed your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.  
Arming the System  
Arming Procedure:  
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, your system is designed to notify you of an improper exit when  
arming the system. With the Push to Set or the Final Door Set, if you enter your code to arm the system  
your panel will start an infinite exit delay. The keypad will sound a beep once ever second. If you violate a  
zone while exiting the premise the keypad will sound 6 quick beeps when you walk past a motion  
detector or open a window or door with a magnetic contact on it. When you have opened and closed the  
Final Exit door or after closing the final exit door have pressed the Push to Set button, the keypad will  
continue to beep once every second for 5 seconds. The panel uses these 5 seconds to allow time for the  
detectors on the system to settle back to their normal states. At the end of this settling time the system  
checks for detectors/windows/doors that may be open. If any of these are open the panel will sound a  
tone and arming will be canceled. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, check the system,  
close any open zones, and the follow the arming procedure again.  
Arming from an LED Keypad  
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, check to see that all doors and  
windows are closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The system cannot be  
armed unless the Ready light is ON indicating that all zones are closed and the system is in the Ready state.  
Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code was entered  
incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for one second. If this occurs, press the [#] key and re-enter  
your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder will beep quickly and the Armed  
light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit/Entry door.  
The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises without  
causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, will turn OFF and  
the system will be armed. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away button before the exit delay  
expires. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.  
Arming from an LCD Keypad  
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, this  
Secure System  
message will appear on the LCD display. Ensure all doors and windows are closed  
Before Arming<>  
and motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The system cannot be  
armed unless the Ready light is ON indicating that all zones are closed and the system  
is in the Ready state.

If this display is showing, the system is in the Ready state and may be fully armed. To  
arm the system, enter your access code.  
Enter Code to  
Arm System  
Once the correct access code has been entered, the display will be as shown. The  
panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit  
the premises without causing an alarm. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing  
the Away button before the exit delay expires. Exit through the door indicated by your  
installer as the Exit/Entry door.

Enter Code to  
Disarm System  
If this message appears, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see “Zone  
Bypassing” on page 10). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone bypassed or  
with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.  
* WARNING *  
Bypass Active  
Alternate Arming Methods  
Away Arming  
Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is  
detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin.  
To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry  
door. The system will recognise that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the  
system will be fully armed.  
You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away button before the exit delay expires.  
Stay Arming  
This feature, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the interior zones inactive so that you  
can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When you press the Stay Key and then enter your  
security code to arm the system, it will arm in the Stay mode, automatically bypassing the interior zones.  
The interior zones can be reactivated at any time by entering [][1] at any keypad. If you reactivate the  
interior zones, be sure to only inhabit areas not covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected  
by motion sensors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system.  
Quick Exit  
When the Quick Exit feature is enabled, pressing [][0] while the system is armed will provide a two  
minute window for you to exit the premises. During this time, you may only open and close the  
designated Entry/Exit door once. Once the door is closed, the panel will end the two minute quick exit  
delay. If the door is opened again, or if the door is not closed after two minutes, or if another zone is  
opened, the panel will begin the entry delay. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Exit feature has  
been enabled on your system.

Disarming the System  
Disarming from an LED Keypad:  
Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an  
immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the  
system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made entering  
the code, enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light will go out and  
the keypad will stop beeping.  
The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is  
not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry time delay may be changed by your  
installer.  
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the Memory light and the zone light corresponding to  
the zone which caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. After the 30 second period, the Memory light  
and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Ready state. Pressing the [#] key during  
the 30 second period will cancel the alarm memory display. To view other alarms, press [][3].  
If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON (See “Viewing Trouble  
Conditions” on page 11 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles will not display  
while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.  
Disarming Procedure:  
Upon entering through a designated Exit/Entry door, the keypad will beep and the entry delay will  
commence, reminding you to disarm the system. The keypad will display the following message...  
Enter your access code. If an error is made in entering the code, press [#] to  
Entry Active  
cancel and then re-enter the code again. When a valid access code is entered, the  
Enter Your Code  
keypad will stop beeping. If no alarms occurred while the panel was armed, and  
there are no troubles, the display will read...

After about five seconds, the system will return to the Ready state and the display  
will read...  
Enter Code to  
Arm System  
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, this message will be displayed. Use  
the arrow (< >) keys to view which zones caused the alarm. If a zone is still in alarm,  
the display will show the following message to indicate that a zone is open...

Conditions” on page 11).  
NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an  
intruder may still be on the premises. Take appropriate action.  
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are alarms  
that occurred only during the last armed period.

If An Alarm Sounds  
Fire Alarm  
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow your  
emergency evacuation plan immediately (see “Fire Escape Planning” on page 15).  
Intrusion Alarm  
If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous Bell or Siren, the alarm may be silenced by entering  
your access code, if the alarm was unintentional.  
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the “Disarming” section (see  
page 5). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will require a reset.  
NOTE: A fire alarm has priority over a burglary type alarm (all monitored systems).  
Resetting the system  
Your installer will let you know if your system is set up so that if there is an alarm, you will need to reset  
your system. This is done to ensure that after an alarm your system is working properly. There are two  
ways your system can be reset.  
Engineer’s Reset  
If an alarm has occurred on your system, the system will not allow you to rearm (Read light is OFF). You  
will need to contact you installer. They will check and reset the system for you. After the reset is  
preformed your system will function properly again.  
Remote Reset  
After you have silenced an alarm on your system, the keypad will display a message “Remote Reset Rqd”  
along with a 4-digit Lock Code. The display will pause for 3 seconds, and then repeat the lock code. If  
your system needs resetting you will not be able to perform any system function, except for viewing the  
alarm memory ([*][3]) or activating command outputs such as sensor reset ([*][7]). The rest of the system  
will function as normal (i.e. alarms and troubles will still be monitored).  
You will only be able to reset the system by entering a Reset Code. To get the reset code you will have to  
contact your installer or central station. Provide them with the 4-digit Lock Code number that is displayed  
on your keypad. Your installer or central station will in turn provide you with a new 4-digit Reset Code.  
Enter the Reset Code into the keypad. The keypad will reset and function system will return to normal.  
Function Keys  
The PC5508Z and LCD5500Z keypads have five function keys – marked Stay, Away, Chime, Reset and  
Exit – which allow easy single-button activation of the most commonly used features. If these keys have  
been enabled by your installer, you can execute the programmed function by pressing and holding the  
corresponding key for two seconds. Corresponding function keys on the PC1555RKZ are number keys 1  
to 5 respectively.  
For more information regarding the operation of the function keys, talk to your alarm system installer.

Zone Bypassing  
The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the  
system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be  
bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made.  
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.  
Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied  
before the next arming.  
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from bypassing  
certain zones. Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a zone due  
to damaged wiring or contacts, please call a service technician immediately so that the problem  
can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Do not unintentionally bypass  
zones when you arm your system.  
To bypass zones from an LED keypad:  
Start with the system in the Ready state. Enter [][1][Zone number(s) to be bypassed].  
Enter the zone number(s) as a double digit from 01 to 08. As each zone is bypassed, the corresponding  
zone light will turn ON. If a zone is bypassed by mistake, press that zone number again and the zone light  
will turn OFF, indicating that the zone is not bypassed. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.  
When the system is armed, the Bypass light will be ON if one or more zones are bypassed.

evacuation plan immediately. If the alarm sounds at night, evacuate immediately.  
NOTE: The description above may not be applicable depending on how your installer has  
programmed the fire alarm operations on your system. Ask your installer for more information  
regarding your system's operation.  
Household Fire Safety Audit  
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit  
be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.  
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded  
lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household  
service, have a professional evaluate these units.  
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated cool area? Cleaning  
with flammable liquids should be avoided.  
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?  
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order? Have  
a professional evaluate these appliances.

Fire Escape Planning  
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very  
important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.  
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.  
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night,  
special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.  
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.  
Consider the following when making your escape plans:  
• Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted  
shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.  
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for rescue  
should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can  
promptly hear the fire warning signal.  
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as  
training in its use.  
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors in  
winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.  
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted for  
i.e.: across the street or at a neighbour's house. Once everyone is out of the building, call the Fire  
Department.  
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not  
gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house.  
Wait for the fire department.  
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise,  
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people  
in the home, or if there are changes to the building's construction.  
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests (see “Testing Your  
System” on page 12). If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer.  
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire  
safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house  
fire safety inspection.  
Maintenance  
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points should be observed.  
1.Do not wash the security station with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should  
remove normal accumulations of dust.  
2.The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition. We recommended, however, that the  
stand-by batteries be replaced every three years.  
3.For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion  
detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective manufacturer’s literature for testing and  
maintenance.

Avoiding False Alarms  
10 Points to Remember  
1. Make sure that the alarm system is operated only by persons who have been properly instructed.  
2. Carefully close and secure all doors and windows before setting the alarm.  
3. Check that movement detectors are not obstructed.  
4. Do not allow sources of heat or sound, or permit moving objects in range of your movement detectors.  
Check that there is no unstable stock, and ensure that no birds or stray animals are present.  
5. Know the specified entry/exit route and keep to it when the system is unset and set. Do not enter other  
protected areas until the system is unset.  
6. Treat your alarm system with care and report all accidental damage to your alarm company.  
7. Inform your alarm company of any changes in the building and storage of contents which may affect the  
alarm system.  
8. Remember your code word (if applicable). In the event of a false alarm from a monitored private  
residential property wait by your telephone for a verification call from the monitoring centre. For non-  
domestic installations (e.g. commercial or retail) call the monitoring centre immediately to abort the false  
alarm. Do not set the alarm system on again after a false call until the fault has been determined.  
9. Make sure your regular maintenance checks are carried out by your alarm company. Remember that  
repetitive false alarms may give rise to withdrawal of police response. Record all incidents/visits in this  
record book.  
10. Check that all keys are readily available and that code numbers (if applicable) are known before entry.  
Notify the central monitoring station of any changes in the set and unset times, if these are monitored.
