IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –
your central 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 instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on sys-
tem operations.
LCD Keypads
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on the PK5500 displays prompts and system information on two 16-

see the previous function or item of information. Press [>] to advance the display to next function or

Press the keys on the number pad as prompted by the LCD display to view alarms or troubles, to arm
and disarm the system and to bypass zones.

Arming and Disarming the System
Arming the System
Arming from an LED Keypad:
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, check to see that all
doors and windows are closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The
system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is ON, indicating that all zones are closed and the
system is in the Ready state.
Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code
was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for one second. If this occurs, press
the [#] key and re-enter your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder
will beep quickly and the Armed light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by
your installer as the Exit/Entry door.
The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises
without causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, all keypad lights except the Armed
light will turn OFF and the system will be armed. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the
Away button before the exit delay expires. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.
Arming from an LCD Alphanumeric Keypad:
When this message appears, one or more zones are not secured.
To secure the system, close all doors and windows and cease all
motion in areas covered by motion detectors.
When this message appears, use the arrow (< >) keys to verify
that the system is clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed
unintentionally (see "Bypassing Zones” on page 13 and "Viewing
Trouble Conditions” on page 14).
If this display is showing, the system is in the Ready state and may
be fully armed. To arm the system, enter your access code.
