Section 4: Keypad Commands

Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the Power864 security system. The LED keypad uses function and zone indicator

lights to represent alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad provides a written description on the liquid crystal display and uses function indi-

cator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.

The Power864 Instruction Manual provides basic directions for arming and disarming the system, bypassing zones and performing user functions

from the keypads. The following sections provide additional details on these functions.

4.1 Arming and Disarming

Arming

The system cannot be armed unless the ‘Ready’ light is on. If the

‘Ready’ light is not on, ensure all protected doors and windows are

secure and stop movement in areas covered by motion detectors.

When the ‘Ready’ light is on, enter a valid access code. As each digit

is pressed the keypad will beep. If an incorrect code is entered, the

keypad will emit a steady 2 second beep to indicate that the code

was not correct. If the code is correct but the ‘Ready’ light was not

on, the panel will beep six times rapidly followed by a long two sec-

ond beep to indicate the system was not ready.

When the correct code is entered and the system is ready, the panel

beeps six times rapidly, and the ‘Armed’ light turns on. The panel

begins counting down the exit delay. If the Audible Exit Delay

option is enabled, the keypad will beep every second until the exit

delay expires. The keypad will beep rapidly for the last 10 seconds of

exit delay to warn the user the system is about to arm.

Exit the premises through the designated entry/exit door before the

exit delay expires.

Users can restart the exit delay while it is counting down by pressing

the Away key. The system will not log the user who re-started the

exit delay, unless the Quick Arming Disabled/Function Keys

Require Code option is turned on (Section [015], Option [4]).

Other methods of arming are available (See section 4.3 “Function Keys”).

NOTE: The PC5020 has a built-in feature called Audible Exit Fault.

(See Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004] for more

information.

Stay and Away Arming

When a user arms the system, if any zones on the system have been

programmed as Stay/Away, the panel will immediately turn on the

‘Bypass’ light. The panel will then monitor all zones programmed as

Delay 1 and Delay 2. If no delay type zone is violated by the end of

the exit delay (e.g. nobody leaves through the entry/exit door), the

panel will bypass all Stay/Away type zones. The panel is now “Stay”

armed. The ‘Bypass’ light will remain on to inform the home owner

that the interior protection is bypassed. This is a convenience for

users that want to arm the panel while at home. Using this method,

users do not have to bypass the interior zones manually.

Users can add the Stay/Away zones back into the system at any time

by entering [*] [1] (see section [*][1] Zone Bypassing on page 10), or

by using the Away function button.

If a delay zone is violated during the exit delay (e.g. somebody leaves

through the designated entry/exit door), all zones will be active after

the exit delay expires. The panel is now “Away” armed. The ’Bypass’

light on the keypad will be off.

Other methods of Stay and Away arming are available (see section

4.3 Function Keys on page 13).

Using the Away Button While Stay Armed

If a partition is armed in Stay mode and a user wishes to leave the

premises without having to disarm and re-arm the system, they may

press the Away button. The system will begin counting the standard

exit delay, allowing the user to leave without actually disarming. The

panel will log “Armed in Away Mode” upon completion of the Exit

Delay. This feature is useful for users with Wireless Keys with Stay/

Away buttons, and who wish to have their panel armed at all times.

Using the Stay Button While Away Armed

Pressing the Stay key while a partition is Away armed will begin the

Exit Delay again. The panel will log “Armed in Stay Mode”. This fea-

ture is useful for users with Wireless Keys with Stay/Away buttons,

and who wish to have their panel armed at all times.

NOTE: If Function Keys require the entering of an access code, a

valid access code must be entered to toggle between arming modes.

The access code used to perform this function will be logged with

“User Log User XX”. Swinger Shutdown will be reset if the Stay or

Away buttons are pressed while the system is armed.

Disarming

To disarm the panel, enter the premises through the designated

entry/exit door. The keypad will emit a steady beep to warn that you

must disarm the system. During the last 10 seconds of entry delay

the panel will pulse the keypad beeper on and off rapidly to warn

the entry delay is about to expire.

Enter a valid Access Code at the keypad. If an error is made, re-enter

the code correctly. When a correct code is entered the keypad will

turn off the ‘Armed’ light and stop the keypad buzzer.

If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed the ‘Memory’ light

and the zones which caused the alarm will be flashing. Press the [#]

key to return the keypad to the Ready state.

Event Buffer

The panel will store the last 256 events that have occurred on the

system. Each event will contain the time, date, partition and the

event itself along with the zone number, access code number or any

other information pertaining to the event.

If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown feature is enabled

the event buffer will not store events after the swinger shutdown

level has been reached. This will prevent the panel from overwriting

the entire buffer if a problem exists (See Section 5.3 Basic Pro-

gramming PWS Sect 3 [377]. The event buffer can be viewed three

different ways. It can be viewed through an LCD keypad, printed on-

site using the PC5400 printer module or it can be uploaded through

the DLS software.

Viewing the Event Buffer

The following is the procedure for viewing the event buffer through

the LCD keypad:

• Step 1 - Enter [*] [6] [Master Code]

• Step 2 - Select ‘View Event Buffer’

The keypad will display the Event Number, Partition, Time and Date

of the event in question. Use the [*] key to toggle between this

information and the event itself. Use the arrow keys (<>) to scroll

through the events in the buffer.

When you have finished viewing the event buffer press the [#] key to

exit.

NOTE: When viewing events for partitions 3 to 8 on an LCD5500

v2.x and lower keypad, they will show as being logged in the “Sys-

tem Area”.

4.2 [✱] Commands

[*][1] Zone Bypassing

Users can bypass individual zones using the [*] [1] keypad command.

This command can be used if users want to have access to an area

while the Partition is armed, or to bypass a defective zone (bad con-

tact, damaged wiring) until service can be provided.
