Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the
PC1616/PC1832/PC1864 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 liq-
uid crystal display and uses function indicator lights to communi-
cate alarm status to the user. The PC1616/PC1832/PC1864
User’s Guide 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 second 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 press-
ing 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]).
NOTE:
If the system has been Stay armed, or armed with no entry
delay ([*][9]), pressing the Away key will not restart an exit delay.
NOTE: If the system is armed while an alarm is in memory, the
mode cannot be changed.
Other methods of arming are available (See section “[*][0] Quick
Arm”, “[*][9] Arming without Entry Delay”, and section 4.4 “Func-
tion Keys”).
NOTE:
The PC1616/PC1832/PC1864 has a built-in feature called
Audible Exit Fault (see Section [013], option 6 for more informa-
tion).
Violated Zones at End of Exit Delay Cancels Arming
When the programmed Exit Delay expires, the system waits for a
time (000-255s) programmed in the Settle Delay Timer (default is
10). The system cancels the arming attempt if a zone is violated
after the Settle Time.
NOTE: There is a 2-second period after the settle time at which
the system will cancel arming if a zone is violated. If the system
cancels the arming attempt, the keypad sounds a steady tone for
1-2 minutes (or until a valid access code is entered).
Stay and Away Arming
When a user arms the system with an access code, 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 pro-
tection 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 Stay/Away zones back into the system at any time
by entering [*][1] (see section ’[*][1] Zone Bypassing’), or by using
the Away 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’).
NOTE:
The buzzer will not sound during “Stay Arming”.
Stay Arming
When a user arms the system by pressing the Stay button, if any
zones on the system have been programmed as Stay/Away, the
panel will immediately turn on the ‘Bypass’ light. After the exit
delay 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 con-
venience 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 Stay/Away zones back into the system at any time
by entering [*][1] (see section ’[*][1] Zone Bypassing’), or by using
the Away button.
Away Arming
When a user arms the system by pressing the Away button, the
panel will begin the exit delay. 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.
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 dis-
arming. 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 feature 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 Away button is pressed while the system is armed.
Inhibit Arming
All troubles on the panel will prevent the system from arming and it
will force the Ready LED to shut off. Press [9] in the Trouble Menu
to clear Troubles.
NOTE:
With this feature disabled, Bell Trouble will still inhibit arm-
ing.
Disarming
To disarm the panel, enter the premises through the designated
entry/exit door. The keypad will emit a steady beep to warn the
system must be disarmed. 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.
