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 key-
pad 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 (Event Log)
The panel will store the last 500 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 (Section [013], option 7) 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 prob-
lem exists. 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/Access 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 com-
mand. 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 contact, damaged wiring) until service can be provided.
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm.
When the partition is disarmed, all zones that were bypassed
using [*][1] will be unbypassed, except for 24-hr zones.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, an access
code will be required to enter the Bypass mode. Only access
codes with the Bypass attribute enabled will be able to bypass
zones (see section ’[*][5] Programming Access Codes’).
Bypassing Zones with an LCD keypad:
Start with disarming the system.
1. Press [*] to enter the function menu. The keypad will display
“Press [*] for < > Zone Bypass”.
2. Press [1] or [*], then your [access code] (if required). The key-
pad will display “Zone Search < > Zone Name”.
3. Enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed (01-
64). You can also use the < > keys to find the zone to be
bypassed, and then press [*] to select the zone.
The keypad will display “Zone Search < > “Zone Name?”. “B” will
appear on the display to show that the zone is bypassed. If a zone
is open (e.g., door with door contact is open), the keypad will dis-
play “Zone Search < > “Zone Name” O”. If you bypass the open
zone, a “B” will replace the “O”.
4. To unbypass a zone, enter the two-digit number of the zone(s)
to be bypassed (01-64). You can also use the < > keys to find the
zone, and then press [*] to select the zone. The “B” will disappear
from the display to show that the zone is no longer bypassed.
5. To exit bypass mode and return to the Ready state, press [#].
Bypassing Zones with a LED/ICON keypad:
Start with disarming the system
1. Press [*][1], then your [access code] (if required).
2. Enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed (01-
64). On LED keypads, the zone light will turn on to indicate that
the zone is bypassed.
3. To unbypass a zone, enter the two-digit number of the zone
(01-64). On LED keypads,the zone light will turn off to indicate
that the zone is not bypassed.
4. To exit bypass mode and return to the Ready state, press [#].
Other Bypass Features:
The following features are also available on the [*][1] zone
bypassing menu:
Bypass Recall: Press [99] while in the [*][1] menu to recall
the last set of bypassed zones.
Clear Bypasses: Press [00] while in the [*][1] menu to
clear all bypassed zones.
Bypass Groups: Users can program a group of zones to
be bypassed (bypass group). Each partition can have a dif-
ferent bypass group. To program a bypass group, in the
[*][1] menu, select the zones to be bypassed. Press [95] to
save the group. To recall the group, press [*][1] followed by
[91].
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, the
Master code or Supervisor codes must be used to access
this feature.
Armed: When the system is armed, [*][1] can be pressed
to toggle the armed state between Stay, Away or Night
Arming. If a night zone is on the system, pressing [*][1] will
either prompt the user for an access code if required, or
sound an acknowledgement tone and change the arming
mode.
NOTE:
If toggle Option [023], Option 5 [Stay/Away Toggle] in ON,
the system will not change from Away to Stay mode.
NOTE: The zone attribute for zone bypassing must be enabled
(see Section [101]-[164] Zone Attributes, Option 4).
NOTE: Hold-up zones should not be part of Bypass Groups.
NOTE: A zone that is manually bypassed via [*][1] will bypass the
alarm, fault, and tamper conditions when DEOL is used.
NOTE: If a 24-hour zone is bypassed, ensure that the zone is
restored or disabled before removing the bypass.
