1. Liquid Crystal

Display (LCD)

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. All users of this system should be instructed in the features

available to them.

1.1 Using This Manual _______________________________________________________________

There are 4 possible types of users of an PC6010 security system. Each of the 4 user types

can access different levels of features, as described in section 6.

This manual describes how to use the features that are available only to Supervisor and

Master users. For information on Basic and Advanced user functions (which are also

available to Supervisor and Master users), please refer to the User's Guide.

Each user type has access to a different set of system functions. Each procedure indicates

which users will be able to access it, with a graphic similar to the following:

1.2 Understanding Your Security System ___________________________________________

Your security system is made up of a control panel, keypads, and various detectors and

sensors.

Control Panel

The control panel is the “brain” of your security system. It controls and monitors all the

keypads and sensors, and communicates with the central station (if remote monitoring is

turned on). 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 normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service professional to have

access to the control panel.

Keypads

You can access system functions with your keypad(s), described in the User's Guide.

Each keypad has a sounder. The keypad has a liquid crystal display (LCD) which shows

system messages. The keypad can send commands to the system and show the current

system status. Your installer will mount the keypad(s) inside your premises, close to the

entry/exit door(s).

S E C T I O N 1

About Your Security 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. Your installer

should explain to you which areas have been programmed, and which zones belong to

which areas.

Access Codes

As a user of the system, you will be assigned a 4- or 6-digit access code. You can use your

access code to turn areas on and off, and to access other system functions.

Your access code may not allow you to use certain system functions. For instance, if your

code is only allowed to turn on area 1, you will not be able to turn on other areas. For

more information on access codes and how to program them, please see section 6.

1.3 Remote Monitoring _____________________________________________________________

The system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone lines to a

central station. If you accidentally initiate an alarm, immediately call the central station to

prevent an unnecessary response.

NOTE: Your installer must enable monitoring for it to work.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your

central 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. For

important warnings and cautions, please see inside the back cover.

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 auto-

arming until midnight of the same day.

Cancelling and Delaying Automatic Arming

Before the system begins automatically arming an area, the keypads will warn users in

the area by beeping continuously (this is the auto-arm warning). If you hear the auto-arm

warning, you can delay or cancel the automatic arming. Enter your code at an area keypad.

The keypad displays:

Automatic Arming

in Progress!

To cancel or delay the automatic arming, follow the procedure below starting at step 3.

To cancel or delay automatic arming before it starts, follow the procedure below from the

beginning.

NOTE: If none of your areas are set up for automatic arming, or if automatic arming is

already delayed or cancelled, or if the system is set up so that users cannot delay or cancel

automatic arming, the keypad will display "This Function is Not Available".

1. 12:00 2000/01/01

Enter Your Code From the start screen, enter your access code.

2. The keypad displays:

Do You Want To

Turn Areas On? Press until the keypad displays:

3.Do You Want to or Do You Want to

Delay Auto-Arm? Cancel Auto-Arm?

To confirm either option, press

4. The keypad displays the first area which will be auto-armed:

Area 1! or Area 1!

Delay Auto-Arm? Cancel Auto-Arm?

To confirm either option, press .

Turning Off Automatic Arming

Step

5. The keypad displays:

Automatic Arming or Automatic Arming

Has Been Delayed 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.

6. At the end of the list of areas, the keypad displays:

End of List

Exit Now? To return to the list of areas, press .

To return to the start screen, press .

Step

Using Access Cards

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.

Using Your Access Card

To gain access to an area via a door with an access card reader, present your access card

to the reader. Depending on the type of reader, this may mean "swiping" your card

through the reader, or just holding your card in front of the reader. The system will either

grant or deny you access to the protected area, depending on how your card has been

programmed.

Most access card readers will have a status light. This light will indicate your access status

once the card is presented. The light will appear according to the following conditions:

• Steady red light: The door is locked.

• Steady green light: The door is unlocked.

• Slowly flashing from red to green: The area is turned on.

• Flashing from red to green twice per second: The reader is waiting for a second card

to be swiped.

• Flashing from red to green three times per second: Access is denied.

Some access card readers also have audible indicators which beep under certain conditions.

The reader may beep when an access control door has been left open too long, or when

a door has been forced open.

Turning Areas On and Off Using an Access Card

You may be able to automatically turn your areas on and off using your access card. Ask

your installer if this feature has been enabled.

To turn an area on using an access card, ensure that the area is secured. Close all protected

doors and cease movement in areas covered by motion detectors. Swipe the access card

in the reader. Push the “Arm” button. The exit delay will begin.

To turn an area off, present the access card to the reader. The area may turn off, if the

system allows. If disarming is granted, the door will unlock. When you open the door, the

system will turn the area off.

To program access cards for your users, please see section 6.

S E C T I O N 3

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. The bypasses on the detectors are automatically cancelled each time the

system is disarmed. If you want the system to bypass the detectors again, you must set

the detectors to bypass before the next arming.

When you tell the system to disable a detector, it will exclude the detector from the

system until you turn it back on again. Disabled detectors will not be able to sound

alarms, tamper conditions, or faults.

NOTE: Bypassing and disabling detectors reduces your security protection. If you are

bypassing a detector because it is not working, call a service technician immediately so

that the problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order.

4.1 Bypassing and Disabling Detectors _____________________________________________

To bypass or disable one or more detectors:

1. 12:00 2000/01/01

Enter Your Code From the start screen, enter your access code.

2. The keypad displays:

Do You Want To

Turn Areas On? Press until the keypad displays:

3. Change Detector

Setup? To confirm, press .

4. The keypad displays the first area where you can bypass or disable detectors, for

example:

Area 1

In This Area? If the detector is in this area, press .

5. The keypad displays the first detector you can bypass or disable, for example:

ZONE 1

Select Detector? To select the detector, press .

6. The keypad displays the current status of the detector (i.e. normal, disabled, or

bypassed), for example:

ZONE 1

Is Normal > To view the available options for the detector, press .
