INTRODUCTION

Read this manual carefully before operating your security system. Have your installer instruct you on

system operation, and have your installer inform you of the features that have been enabled on your

system. All users of the system should be instructed in its use. Complete the System Information page and

store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Test Your System Regularly

To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, it is important that you test your system

weekly. Refer to the “Testing Your System” section of this manual, and read and follow the instructions

carefully. If your system does not function properly or if you have any questions about testing your system,

call your installing company for service or assistance.

Important Notice

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

included, a 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 inform you of the level

of protection that has been provided, and instruct you on system operations.

Glossary

Your DSC PC560 security system has been designed to offer advanced security feature and simple,

straight-forward operation. Described here are some terms that are used throughout this manual to explain

the operation of your system.

Keypad: Your system features one or more PC500RK or SL-40 keypads. The keypad is used to enter

commands to operate the system, and to view operating information about the system. Information about

the system is displayed on the zone lights, labelled 1 through 4. The keypad also features three system

status lights: Ready, Armed and System. Commands are entered on the keypad by pressing one key at a

time.

Master Code: The Master Code is a 4-digit code used to arm and disarm the system, to program access

codes and to bypass zones. Normally only one person should know the Master Code.

Access Codes: Three access codes are available to allow users to arm and disarm the system and to

bypass zones. Each person should keep their 4-digit access code secret to ensure system security.

Entry Delay: The Entry Delay is the period of time allowed for someone to enter the premises and disarm the

system.

Exit Delay: The Exit Delay is the period of time allowed for someone to leave the premises after they have

entered an access code to arm the system.

Entry-Exit Door or Zone: The entry-exit door or zone is the door or zone designated by your installer to be

used for entering and leaving the premises when the system is armed.

Zone: A Zone is an area that is protected by a security device. For example, a room protected by a motion

detector may be Zone 1, while a window protected by a magnetic contact may be Zone 2. Your installer will

inform you of where zones have been set up on your system.

CHANGING SYSTEM FEATURES

Changing Access Codes

The PC560 features 4 programmable access codes. The first code is the Master Code, and the remaining

three codes are normal access codes.

Programming Access Codes:

enter [

∗

][5][Master Code]; the Ready, Armed and System lights will flash.

The zone lights will indicate which access codes have been programmed, and which access code is

presently being programmed:

Zone Light Access Code is...

OFF not programmed

ON steady programmed

Flashing presently being programmed

When the [

∗

][5][Master Code] command is entered, Zone Light 1 will be ON to indicate that the Master

Code is already programmed.

Changing or Adding a Code:

to change the Master Code or Access Codes 2 through 4, enter the number

of the code to be changed; the corresponding zone light will begin to flash. For example, enter [1] to

change the Master Code, or enter [2] to change Access Code 2, and so on.

With the desired zone light flashing, enter a new 4-digit access code. Do not press [

∗

] or [#] when entering

the code. If an existing code is being changed, the new code will replace the old one. After the code is

entered, the keypad will beep 3 times and the zone light will stop flashing and remain ON.

If you want to program another code, press the number key for the code to be programmed, and enter the

new 4-digit code as described above. When all desired changes are complete, press the [#] key to return

to “Ready”.

Erasing a Code:

to erase a code, enter [

∗

][5][Master Code]. Enter the number of the code to be erased;

the zone light for the code will flash. Enter [

∗∗∗∗

] to erase the access code. When all desired changes are

complete, press the [#] key to return to “Ready”.

IMPORTANT:

do not erase the Master Code. If the Master Code is accidentally erased, contact your

installing company for assistance.

Door Chime On/Off

The Door Chime feature causes the keypad to beep whenever an entry-exit zone or instant zone is

activated. This feature is useful if the entry-exit door or doors are out of view, and you would like an

indication of when the door zones are opened and closed. Note that the Door Chime feature only functions

when the system is disarmed.

To turn the Door Chime feature ON or OFF, enter [

∗

][6]. If the feature is being turned ON, the keypad

sounder will beep 3 times. If the feature is being turned OFF, the sounder will emit a single long tone.

Adjusting the Keypad Sounder Tone and Backlighting

The sounder tone and the lighting behind the keys for each keypad may be individually adjusted. The sounder

tone may be set with a loud tone, a softer tone, or no tone at all. The backlighting can be set at medium or high

brightness, or it may be turned off.

To adjust the keypad’s sounder, press and hold the [#] key; after two seconds, the sounder will begin to beep.

With each beep, the tone of the beep will increase or decrease. When the desired tone is achieved, release

the [#] key.

To adjust the keypad’s backlighting, press and hold the [

∗

] key. The zone and status lights will be shut off, and

the keypad will beep as each of the three backlighting levels is shown: medium, high and off. When the desired

level is reached, release the [

∗

] key. Press the [#] key to return to the Ready mode.

If all power to the system is shut off, each keypad’s tone and backlighting will be restored to the factory settings.
