duration and log the event to the event buffer. For the duration
of the lockout, the panel will sound an error tone when any key
is pressed.
NOTE: The Invalid Code Counter will be reset every hour.

5.22 Keypad Blanking
If the Blank Keypad When Not in Use option is enabled, the
panel will turn off all lights and LCDs on the keypads when no
keys are pressed for 30 seconds. The keys, however, will
remain backlit.
The panel will turn the lights and LCDs back on if entry delay
begins or an audible alarm occurs. The lights and LCDs will
also come on if a key is pressed or, if a valid access code is
entered when the Code Required to Restore Blanking
option is enabled.
NOTE:If using a PC5132 v3.0 or greater, and wireless keys, do
not enable the Code Required to Restore Blanking option, as
the keys will not function correctly.
If the Power Save Mode option is enabled the panel will blank
all keypad lights including backlighting when AC power fails,
in order to conserve the backup battery.

5.24 Loop Response
The normal loop response time for all zones is under 400 milli-
seconds.
Zones 1-4 on the control board, however, can be programmed
for a fast loop response (under 40ms).
Zones 1-4 are Fast Loop Response. . . .Section [030]: [1-46]
5.25 Keypad Tampers
If the Keypad Tampers Enable option is selected, the panel
will display and transmit a General System Tamper reporting
code if any keypad is removed from the wall. When the key-
pad tamper is restored, the panel will transmit the General
System Tamper Restoral reporting code. All keypads should
be properly installed and secured before enabling this option.
If the All System Tampers Require Installer Reset option is
enabled, any system tampers must be reset by entering
[*][8][Installer’s Code] before the system can be armed. Auto-
arming and Keyswitch arming will also be prevented in the
presence of any system tamper.
The Auto Arm Cancellation code is not transmitted when a
reset is required because a user has not cancelled the auto
arming sequence.

5.26 GSM1000 Cellular Communicator
The GSM1000 Cellular Communicator can be used three differ-
ent ways: as the sole communicator for the panel, as a backup
for either or both telephone numbers or as a redundant backup
to the land line communicator, where the panel will call both the
land line and via the GSM1000. A GSM1000 Preamble is pro-
grammable for each telephone number in the event that the
land line number is local but the GSM1000 is required to dial an
exchange. When programming a GSM1000 Preamble, all
unused digits must be programmed with a hexadecimal “F”.
You may need to program a longer delay between dialing
attempts to ensure proper operation of the GSM1000.
Using GSM1000 as the Sole Communicator
The panel can be programmed to report an event only using
the GSM1000 cellular communicator. To program this option,
select only the GSM1000 in the Communicator Call Direction
options. The Call GSM1000 as well as Land Line option must
also be enabled.
When the selected event occurs the panel will only attempt to
call central station using the GSM1000.
Using the GSM1000 as a Backup Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the GSM1000 Cel-
lular Communicator if the panel is having difficulty communicat-
ing an event using the land line. To program this option, select
both the telephone number and GSM1000 options in the Com-
municator Call Direction options. The GSM1000 is Backup
of Land Lines option must be selected.
When used as a backup communicator, the panel will attempt
to call the central station in the following manner:
• the panel will try to call using land lines – if unsuccessful,
the panel will try to call using the GSM1000
• if unsuccessful, the panel will try to call using the land lines
on the next dialing attempt
This process will continue until the panel has successfully com-
municated with the central station or until the panel’s pro-
grammed number of dialing attempts have been exhausted.
Using the GSM1000 as a Redundant Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using first the GSM1000
and then the land line when an event occurs. To program this
option, select both the telephone number and the GSM1000
options for the Communicator Call Direction options for the
event. The Call GSM1000 as well as Land Line option must
be selected.
GSM1000 Special Preamble
In some calling areas dialing specific digits reduces the cellular
billing increment. The GSM1000 Special Preamble (section
[393]), allows the use of [*] and [#] characters for the program-
ming of these specific digits.
The GSM1000 Special Preamble is sent BEFORE the Preamble
programmed in Sections [390] to [392].

Number]
