10.1 AC/DC Power Options
Ref # [000200]
The following options are used to determine the power set-
tings for the system. Press [*] to toggle each option on or off.
•Power Up Shunt
Power Up ShuntPower Up Shunt
Power Up Shunt: If enabled, all zones will be inactive
during the first two minutes of power up to prevent
causing false alarms (default=Yes).
NOTE: Do not disable the Power Up Shunt option if AML
devices are used.
• AC Trouble Displayed
AC Trouble DisplayedAC Trouble Displayed
AC Trouble Displayed: If enabled, the system keypads
will display an AC trouble. If disabled, the AC Trouble
will not be included in the system trouble indications
(default=Yes).
• AC Frequency 60 Hz
AC Frequency 60 HzAC Frequency 60 Hz
AC Frequency 60 Hz: Enable this feature if the AC
cycles at 60Hz; disable it for a 50Hz cycle. The standard
for North America is 60 Hz (Default=Yes).
• AC Inhibits Arming
AC Inhibits ArmingAC Inhibits Arming
AC Inhibits Arming: If enabled, the system cannot be
armed when an AC trouble condition is present on the
main panel, PC4204/PC4204CX, PC4702, PC4820 or
PC4850. If disabled, the system can be armed with the
presence of an AC trouble (Default=No).
• DC Inhibits Arming
DC Inhibits ArmingDC Inhibits Arming
DC Inhibits Arming: If enabled, the system will not arm
when a low battery condition is present on the alarm con-
trol panel, the PC4204/PC4204CX, PC4702, PC4820 or the
PC4850. If disabled, the system can be armed with the
presence of an DC trouble (Default = No).
NOTE: This feature does not apply to wireless devices. If
enabled, a battery trouble will not inhibit arming. The
control panel and PC4204/PC4204CX/PC4702/PC4820/
PC4850 modules will only communicate and log to the
event buffer three low battery events per 24 hour period
(reset at midnight).
10.2 Bell Circuit Supervision

Ref#: [000200] System (Bell) Options
The Bell Cut-off time
Bell Cut-off time Bell Cut-off time
Bell Cut-off time will determine how long the fire/burg
bell outputs will be active when an alarm occurs. Valid
entries are 000-255 minutes (Default setting = 004 minutes).
The following system toggle options items will determine
how the fire/burg bell outputs will operate.
•Bell Shutdown
Bell ShutdownBell Shutdown
Bell Shutdown: If enabled, the burg bell outputs will not
activate for a zone that has reached the swinger shut-
down limit, if programmed. If disabled, a zone alarm
will always activate the burg bell outputs (default=Yes).
•Fire Timeout
Fire TimeoutFire Timeout
Fire Timeout:
If enabled, the fire bell outputs will follow
the bell time-out. If disabled, the fire bell outputs will
remain active until a valid access code is entered to
silence the alarm (default=Yes).
• Bell Delay Timer

**
*:
After an audible burglary alarm has
occurred, the system will delay sounding the bells for
the amount of time programmed in this timer. Valid
entries are from 000 - 255 minutes. If 000 is pro-
grammed, there will be no delay before the bells sound
(Default = 000).
For more information regarding the bell output program-
ming, please see Section 11.1 ‘Main Panel Outputs‘. For
information on bell circuit wiring, please see 2.12 ‘Bell Out-
put Wiring (BELL+ and BELL-)‘.
10.3 Clock Options
Set System Time and Date
The System time and date can be programmed by the user
and thus are not accessible in the Installer’s Programming
mode. For instructions on programming the time and date,
see the
Instruction Manual
’Setting the Time and Date’.
Daylight Savings
Ref #: [00020303]
Program the date on which daylight savings time will
begin. The month, day and week are required (where MM =
01-12; D = 1-7 Sunday-Saturday; W = 1-5).
To program daylight savings time to start on the first Sun-
day in April, enter [0411]. At 2 a.m. on the programmed
day, the time will automatically adjust to 3 a.m. daylight
savings time. All scheduled events that would have
occurred between the hours of 2 and 3 a.m. will not occur
for this day.
Standard Time
Ref #: [00020304]
Program the date on which standard time will begin. The
month, day and week are required (where MM = 01-12; D =
1-7 Sunday-Saturday; W = 1-5).
To program standard time to start on the last Sunday in
October, enter [1015]. (Sometimes, there are five Sundays in
a month. If there are not 5 Sundays in the month, the
change to standard time will occur on the 4th Sunday.)
At 2 a.m. on the programmed day, the time will automati-
cally adjust to 1 a.m. standard time. Any scheduled events
between 1 and 2 a.m. on this day will occur twice.
System Clock Options
Ref #: [000200]
The following system options pertain to the system clock.
Press [*] to toggle each option either on or off.
• Military Time
Military TimeMilitary Time
Military Time: If enabled, the clock will display 24 hour
time (military time) and date will show as MM/DD/YY.
If disabled, the clock will display 12 hour time—with an
’a’ for a.m. or ’p’ for p.m.—and the date will show as
Month/DD/YY. The printed time and date also follows
this option (Default=No).
•Crystal Time
Crystal TimeCrystal Time
Crystal Time: If enabled, the timebase will be the inter-
nal crystal oscillator. If disabled, the timebase will be the
AC power input. The crystal oscillator should be used
for applications with a less reliable AC power source
(Default=No).
Clock Adjust
Ref #: [00020308]
This option is to compensate for any timebase inaccuracy.
The panel will replace the last minute of each day with the
number of seconds programmed in this section.
For example, if the panel seems to lose nine seconds per
day, program this section as [051]. Valid entries are 000-255
seconds. The default value is [060].
NOTE: Do not schedule events to occur during the clock
adjust time.
10.4 Event Messages
The following event messages can be modified from their
default settings to suit the user’s needs. To enter new labels,
enter each character as outlined in Section 5.4 ’Zone Pro-
gramming – Zone Labels’.
These messages will only appear if the ’Special Messages’
toggle option is enabled by the end user/system administra-
tor, by entering [*][6][access code][0][2].
The zone tamper and zone fault messages will be displayed
regardless of the [*][6] Special Messages option setting.
