WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however,
involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm sys-
tem of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of these reasons may be:
■ Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation
should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks
and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
■ Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is
possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these fea-
tures. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effec-
tive and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
■ Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by
moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent
the proper operation of the system.
■ Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate
power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail.
Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a
device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while
it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations
which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred,
immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal
conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient con-
ditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the
batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance
will keep the system in good operating condition.
■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or
near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
■ System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is
important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know
how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
■ Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of rea-
sons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke
may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the resi-
dence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warn-
ing to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
■ Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-
ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness
can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional
or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters,
radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
■ Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if
there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may
be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appli-
ances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired
person.
■ Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time.
Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may
be difficult to detect.
■ Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be pro-
tected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system
is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
■ Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to func-
tion as intended due to the failure of a component.
■ Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular test-
ing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
■ Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm sys-
tem also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Section 2: Installation and Wiring
The following sections provide a complete description of how to wire and configure devices and zones.
2.1 Installation Steps
The following steps are provided to assist with the instal-
lation of the panel. It is suggested that you read over this
section briefly to get an overall understanding of the
order of installation. Once this is done carefully work
through each step. Working from this plan will help
reduce problems and reduce the overall installation time
required.
Step 1 Create a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the building and include all alarm
detection devices, zone expanders, keypads and all other
modules that are required.
Step 2 Mounting the Panel
Locate the panel in a dry area, preferably located near an
unswitched AC power source and the incoming tele-
phone line. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall be
sure to press the five circuit board mounting studs into
the cabinet from the back.
NOTE: Complete all wiring before applying AC or con-
necting the battery.
Step 3 Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.4)
Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the
guidelines provided.
Step 4 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders
(Section 2.6)
If zone expander modules are being used the modules
must be configured so the panel knows which zones are
assigned to each expander. Follow the guideline provided
to assign zones to expanders.
Step 5 Zone Wiring (Section 2.10)
Power down the control panel and complete all zone wir-
ing. Follow the guidelines provided in section 2.10 to con-
nect zones using normally closed loops, single EOL
resistor, double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch
Arming zones.
Step 6 Completing Wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, tele-
phone line connections, ground connections or any other
wiring necessary. Follow the guidelines provided in sec-
tion 2.2 ‘Terminal Descriptions’.
Step 7 Power up the Control Panel
Once all zone wiring and Keybus wiring is complete,
power up the control panel.
NOTE: The panel will not power up if only the battery
is connected.
Step 8 Keypad Assignment (Section 2.7)
Keypads must be assigned to different slots to be prop-
erly supervised. Follow the guideline provided in section
2.7 to assign keypads.
Step 9 Confirming Module Supervision
(Section 2.8)
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation.
Supervision is enabled at all times so that the panel can
indicate a Trouble if a module is removed from the sys-
tem.
To confirm that each module is properly supervised, fol-
low the guidelines provided in section 2.8.
Step 10 Programming the System (Sections 4 & 5)
Section 4.0 provides a complete description of how to pro-
gram the panel. Section 5.0 contains complete descriptions
of the various programmable features, what options are
available and how the options function. The Programming
Worksheets should be filled out completely before attempting
to program the system.
Step 11 Testing the System
Test the panel completely to ensure that all features and
functions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
NOTE: AC Terminals - AC
The panel requires a 16.5 volt, 40 VA transformer. Con-
nect the transformer to an unswitched AC source and
connect the transformer to these terminals.
NOTE: Do not connect the transformer until all other
wiring is complete.
Battery Connection
The battery is used to provide backup power in the event
of an AC power failure and to provide additional current
when the panel demands exceed the power output of the
transformer, such as when the panel is in alarm.
NOTE: Do not connect the battery until all other wir-
ing is complete.
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive of the bat-
tery, the BLACK battery lead to the negative.
Auxiliary Power Terminals - AUX+ and GND
These terminals provide up to 550mA of current at 12
VDC (rated 11.6-12.6 VDC for UL residential applica-
tions) for devices requiring power. Connect the positive
side of any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal,
the negative side to GND. The AUX output is protected; if
too much current is drawn from these terminals (wiring
short) the panel will temporarily shut off the output, until
the problem is corrected. NOTE: The maximum AUX
capacity for 24-hr standby is 420mA.
Bell Output Terminals - BELL+ and BELL-
These terminals provide up to 3 Amps of current at 12 VDC
(with standby battery; 700 mA continuous) for powering
bells, sirens, strobes or other warning type equipment.
Connect the positive side of any alarm warning device to
BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. The BELL output is
protected; if too much current is drawn from these termi-
nals (wiring short) the BELL PTC will open.
The bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning device
is being used connect a 1KΩ resistor across BELL+ and
BELL– to prevent the panel from displaying a Trouble con-
dition (see section ’[*][2] Trouble Display’).
Keybus Terminals - RED, BLK, YEL, GRN
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with
modules and by modules to communicate with the panel.
Each module has four Keybus terminals that must be con-
nected to the four Keybus terminals on the panel. For
more information, see section ’Keybus Operation and
Wiring’.
6
Programmable Outputs - PGM1, PGM2, PGM3,
PGM4
Each PGM output is designed so
that when activated by the panel,
the terminal will switch to ground
PGM1, PGM3, and PGM4 can
each sink up to 50 mA of current.
These PGMs can be used to acti-
vate LEDs or a small buzzer. Con-
nect the positive side of the LED
or buzzer to AUX+, the negative
side to the PGM.
PGM2 is a high current output
(300mA) and operates similarly to
PGM1. If more than 300 mA of cur-
rent is required, a relay must be used. Refer to the diagram.
Zone Input Terminals - Z1 to Z8
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. It is suggested that each zone have one
detection device however it is possible to wire multiple
detection devices to the same zone.
For zone wiring specifics, see section ’Zone Wiring’.
Telephone Connection Terminals - TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is required for central station commu-
nication or downloading, connect an RJ-31X jack in the
following manner:
Connect the PC5020 and modules that use the telephone
line(s) in the following order:
For example, if you are installing a PC5020 with a
LINKS1000/GSM1000 and a PC5936 intercom module,
connect the incoming line to the LINKS1000, then from
the LINKS1000 to the PC5020, then from the PC5020 to
the PC5936 audio module and then from the PC5936
module to the house telephones.
NOTE: Ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimen-
sion, tolerance and metallic plating requirements of 47
C.F.R. Part 68, SubPart F. For proper operation there
must be no other telephone equipment connected
between the control panel and the telephone com-
pany facilities.
NOTE: Do not connect the alarm panel communicator
to telephone lines intended for use with a FAX
machine. These lines may incorporate a voice filter
which disconnects the line if anything other than FAX
signals are detected, resulting in incomplete transmis-
sions.
2.3 Wire Routing for Power & Non-Power Limited
All wiring entry points are designated by the arrows. All
circuits are classified UL installation power limited except
for the battery leads which are not power limited.
A minimum ¼” (6.4mm) separation must be maintained
at all points between power limited and non-power lim-
ited wiring and connections.
NOTE: Wire entry for power limited wiring must be
separated by a different entry access from non-power
limited wiring.
2.4 Keybus Operation and Wiring
The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with all
modules connected and by the modules to talk to the
panel. The RED and BLK terminals are used to provide
power while YEL and GRN are clock and data.
NOTE: The 4 Keybus terminals of the panel must be
connected to the 4 Keybus terminals or wires of all
modules.
The following conditions apply:
• Keybus should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad
(0.5mm), two pair twisted preferred
• the modules can be home-run to the panel, connected in
series or can be T-tapped
• any module can be connected anywhere along the Key-
bus; you do not need a separate Keybus wire run for
keypads, zone expanders etc.
• no module can be more than 1,000'/305m (in wire
length) from the panel
• shielded wire is not necessary unless wires are run in an
area that may present excessive RF noise or interference
Example of Keybus Wiring
Module (A) is wired cor-
rectly as it is within 1,000'/
305m of the panel, in wire
distance. Module (B) is
wired correctly as it is
within 1,000'/305m of the
panel, in wire distance.
Module (C) is NOT wired
correctly as it is further than 1,000'/305m from the panel,
in wire distance.
2.5 Current Ratings - Modules & Accessories
In order for the PC5020 system to operate properly, the
power output capabilities of the main control and expan-
sion devices must not be exceeded. Use the data pre-
sented below to ensure that no part of the system is

Other Devices
Read the manufacturer’s literature carefully to determine
the maximum current requirement (during activation or
alarm) and use this value for loading calculations. Do not
allow connected devices to exceed the system capabilities
during any possible operational mode.
2.6 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders
The main panel contains zones 1 to 8. Additional zone
expanders may be added to increase the number of zones
on the system. Each zone expander consists of one group
of 8 zones. Each module must be set to assign the specific
zones to the expander. To do this, set the jumpers located
on the expander to the proper settings (see chart below).
NOTE: PC5108 v1.0 and lower modules can only sup-
port the first 32 zones on the PC5020 system. PC5108
v1.0 and lower, PC5108L, PC5700, and PC5720 each
enroll as two expander modules.
NOTE: Before a zone expander will work properly, you
must set the jumpers so the panel can determine the
correct zone assignment.
NOTE: It is not recommended to use PC5108 v1.x and
v2.x simultaneously on the same PC5020.
The following are the jumper settings for different zone
assignments for PC5108 v2.0 modules. If you need to
enroll PC5108 v1.0, PC5108L or PC5700 modules, refer to
the appropriate module Installation Sheet for the correct
jumper settings.
The following is a diagram of the PC5108 zone expander
modules and where the jumper switches are located. Refer
to the Installation Instructions for the module for more infor-
mation.
NOTE: Only jumpers J1, J2, and J3 determine the zone
assignment for the module.
2.7 Keypad Assignment
There are 8 available slots for keypads. LED and
LCD5501Z keypads by default are assigned to slot 1. The
LCD5500Z is assigned by default to slot 8. Keypads can
each be assigned to a different slot (1 to 8) which offers
two advantages. The panel can supervise the keypad con-
nection to indicate a Trouble condition if it is removed.
Also keypads can be assigned to operate a specific parti-
tion, or to operate as a global keypad.
How to Assign Keypads
NOTE: All keypad assignment must be done at each
keypad on the system. When using LCD5500(Z) key-
pads, one keypad must remain in slot 8. Do not assign
more than one keypad to the same slot.

indicate a trouble if a module is removed from the system.
To check which modules are currently connected and
supervised:
1. Press [*] [8] [Installer Code] to enter Installer Program-
ming.
2. Press [903] to display all modules.
3. The LCD keypad will allow you to scroll through the
modules.
NOTE: Module supervision will not display correctly at
an LCD5500Z v2.x and lower keypad.
In LED keypads, zone lights will be turned on according
to what modules the panel has found on the system.

If a module is connected but does not show as being
present, it may be due to any of the following reasons:
• it is not connected to the Keybus
• there is a Keybus wiring problem
• the module is more than 1,000'/305m from the panel
• the module does not have enough power
• the PC5132 does not have any devices added
2.9 Removing Modules
If a module is no longer required on the system, the panel
must be told to stop supervising the module. To do this:
1. Remove the module from the Keybus.
2. Press [*] [8] [Installer Code] to enter Installer Program-
ming.
3. Press [902] to enable supervision. The panel will auto-
matically search for all modules on the system, will see
that the module has been removed, and will stop super-
vising it.
4. Once the search is complete (it will take about 1 minute)
enter section [903] to confirm that the correct modules
are supervised on the system.
2.10 Zone Wiring
For a complete description of the operation of all zone
types, see section ’Basic Programming PWS Sect 3’.
There are several different ways in which zones may be
wired, depending on which programming options have
been selected. The panel can be programmed to supervise
normally closed, end of line, or double end of line loops.
Refer to the following sections to study each type of indi-
vidually supervised zone wiring.
NOTE: Any zone programmed for Fire or 24-hr Super-
visory must be wired with a single end of line (EOL)
resistor regardless of the type of zone wiring supervi-
sion selected for the panel (section [013], options [1]
and [2]). See Zone Definitions [001] [004]. If you
change the zone supervision options from DEOL to
EOL or from NC to DEOL (section [013], options [1] or
[2]), power the system down completely, and then
power it back up for correct operation.
Normally Closed (NC) Loops
To enable normally closed loops, programming section
[013], option [1] must be ON.
NOTE: This option should only be selected if Normally
Closed (NC) devices/contacts are being used.
Normally Closed Loops. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [013], Option [1]
Single End Of Line (EOL) Resistors
To enable panel detection of single end of line resistors,
programming section [013], options [1] and [2] must be
OFF.
NOTE: This option should be selected if either Nor-
mally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) detection
devices or contacts are being used.

To enable panel detection of double end of line resistors,
programming section [013], option [1] must be OFF and
option [2] must be ON.
NOTE: If the double EOL supervision option is
enabled, all hardwired zones must be wired for double
EOL resistors, except for Fire and 24-hr Supervisory
zones.
Do not wire DEOL resistors on keypad zones.
Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones or 24-hr
Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones to keypad
zone terminals if the DEOL supervision option is
selected.
This option can only be selected if Normally Closed
(NC) detection devices or contacts are being used. Only
one NC contact can be connected to each zone.

Fire Zone Wiring - 4-wire Smoke Detectors
All zones defined as Fire (see section ’Basic Programming
PWS Sect 3’) must be wired according to the following
diagram:
For a complete description of how fire zones operate, see
section ’Basic Programming PWS Sect 3’.
Fire Zone Wiring - 2-wire Smoke Detectors
If PGM 2 has been programmed for 2-wire smoke detec-
tor connection (see section ’Basic Programming PWS Sect
3’) , the detectors must be wired according to the follow-
ing diagram:
For a complete description of how fire zones operate, see
section ’Basic Programming PWS Sect 3’.
Keyswitch Zone Wiring
Zones may be programmed to be used as keyswitch arm-
ing zones and must be wired according to the following
diagram:
For a complete description of how keyswitch zones oper-
ate, see section ’Basic Programming PWS Sect 3’.
LINKS1000 Supervisory (24-hr Supervisory)
When using the LINKS1000 cellular communicator, any
main board zone may be configured for LINKS1000 Super-
vision. Program this zone as zone type (09), 24-hr Supervi-
sory in section [001].
With a 24-hr Supervisory zone, if the LINKS1000 experi-
ences a trouble, the zone will be violated, causing the
panel to report the event to the central station. This type
of zone always requires a single EOL resistor
(5600Ω).Refer to LINKS 1000 Installation Manual wiring
diagram for installation.
LINKS1000 Answer
If the LINKS1000 cellular commu-
nicator is being used a zone may
be configured for LINKS1000
Answer to allow downloading to
be performed in the event of tele-
phone line failure.
When the LINKS1000 receives a
telephone call it will activate the
RING terminal on the LINKS1000 circuit board. This ter-
minal can be used to violate a zone programmed as (24)
LINKS1000 Answer (see section ’Basic Programming
PWS Sect 3’), causing the panel to seize the telephone line
and begin communication with the downloading com-
puter.
The zone programmed as LINKS1000 Answer ALWAYS
requires a single EOL resistor (5600Ω) and must be wired
according to the diagram above.
NOTE: The LINKS1000 Answer zone is only required
for downloading to the panel via the LINKS1000, or
for remotely connecting to the Escort5580(TC) module
via the LINKS1000.
NOTE: When using the LINKS1000, Busy Tone Detec-
tion must not be used.
NOTE: Keypad zones cannot be used for 24-hr Supervi-
sory or LINKS1000 Answer.

2.11 Keypad Zones
Keypads with zone inputs can be connected to devices
such as door contacts. This saves you from running wires
back to the control panel for every device.
To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic by remov-
ing the screw at the bottom of the unit. Locate the five ter-
minals on the keypad circuit board. Connect the four
Keybus wires from the control panel: the red wire to R,
the black to B, the yellow to Y and the green to G.
To connect the zone, run one wire to the Z terminal and
the other to B. For powered devices, use red and black to
supply power to the device. Run the red wire to the R
(positive) terminal and the black wire to the B (negative)
terminal.
When using end of line supervision, connect the zone
according to one of the configurations outlined in section
2.10 ‘Zone Wiring‘.
NOTE: End of line resistors must be placed on the
device end of the loop, not at the keypad.
NOTE: Keypad zones do not support DEOL resistors.
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be
assigned a zone number in Installer Programming.
First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads
into the desired slots (see section ’Keypad Assignment’).
Next, enter programming section [020] to assign the
zones. There are eight programming locations in this sec-
tion, one for each keypad slot. Enter a 2-digit zone num-
ber for each of the keypad zones. This number must be
entered in the location corresponding to the keypad to
which each zone is connected.
NOTE: If a keypad zone input is assigned on a zone
numbered from 1 to 8, the corresponding zone cannot
be used on the main control panel.
Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also
program zone definitions and zone attributes (see sec-
tion 5.3 Basic Programming and Section 5.4 Advanced
System Programming)
11
Section 3: How to Program
The following section of the manual describes how to
enter Installer Programming and how to program the var-
ious sections.
NOTE: It is extremely important that you read the fol-
lowing section of the manual to completely under-
stand how to program the panel.
3.1 How to Enter Installer Programming
Installer Programming is used to program all communi-
cator and panel options. The Installer Code is [5555] at
default, but should be changed to prevent unauthorized
access to programming.
NOTE: Once Installer Programming is exited, the sys-
tem will reset. This will take 15 seconds. Do not
attempt to perform any system function during this
reset period. In addition, all outputs will return to
their normal, deactivated state (or activated if
inverted).
LED Keypad
Step 1: From any keypad enter [*][8][Installer Code].
• The ‘Program’ light will flash to indicate you are in
programming
• The ‘Armed’ light will turn on to indicate the panel is
waiting for the 3-digit Section number to program
Step 2: Enter the 3-digit Section number you want to pro-
gram.
• The Armed light will turn off
• The Ready light will turn on to indicate the panel is
ready for the information for the selected Section
NOTE: If the 3-digit section number entered is not
valid or the module that pertains to the Section is not
present, the keypad will sound a 2-second beep or
error tone.
LCD Keypad
Step 1: From any keypad enter [*][8][Installer Code].
The keypad will display ‘Enter Section’ followed by three
dashes.
Step 2: Enter the 3-digit Section number you want to pro-
gram.
The keypad will now display information for the section
entered.
Installer Code . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [006]
3.2 Programming Decimal Data
When the Ready light is ON the panel is waiting for the
information to be programmed for the selected Section.
Enter the information written in the boxes for the Section
found in the Programming Worksheets.
If a digit is entered for each program box in a Section the
panel will automatically exit from the Section. It will turn
OFF the Ready light and turn the Armed light back ON.
You can also press the [#] key to exit a Section before
entering data for every box. This is handy if you only
need to change the first few program boxes. All other
locations in the Section will remain unchanged. If the [#]
key is pressed the panel will turn OFF the Ready light,
turn ON the Armed light and exit you from the Section.
3.3 Programming Hexadecimal Data
On occasion, hexadecimal (Hex) digits may be required.
To program a Hex digit press the [*] key. The panel will
enter Hex programming and Ready light will begin to
flash.
The following table indicates which number should be
pressed to enter the corresponding Hex digit:
1 = A 2 = B 3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6 = F
After the correct Hex digit is entered the Ready light will
continue to flash. If another Hex digit is required press
the corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required
press the [*] key again. The Ready light will turn on solid
and the panel will return to regular decimal program-
ming.
NOTE: It is important to watch the Ready light. If the
light is flashing any number you enter will be pro-
grammed as the Hex equivalent.
Example: To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, you would
enter [*] [3] [*], [1]
[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[3] to enter C
[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[1] to enter digit 1
If you enter information into a section and make a mis-
take, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that sec-
tion again and re-enter the information correctly.
If you are using a pulse communications format, a deci-
mal zero [0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0]
tells the panel not to send any pulses for that digit. Deci-
mal zero [0] is a filler digit. To make a zero [0] transmit, it
must be programmed as a Hexadecimal ‘A’.
Example: for the 3-digit account number ‘403’, you would
enter [4], [*] [1] [*] [3], [0].
[4] to enter the digit 4
[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[1] to enter A
[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[3] to enter the digit 3
[0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.
3.4 Programming Toggle Options
Some Sections contain several toggle options. The panel
will use zone lights 1 through 8 to indicate if the different
options are enabled or disabled. Refer to the Programming
Worksheets to determine what each option represents and
whether the light should be ON or OFF for your applica-
tion.
Press the number corresponding to the option to toggle
the light ON or OFF.
Once all the toggle options have been selected correctly
press the [#] key to exit the Section and save the changes.
The panel will turn off the Ready light and turn on the
Armed light.
12
3.5 Viewing Programming
LED and LCD5501Z Keypads
Any programming section can be viewed from an LED or
LCD5501Z keypad. When a programming section is
entered, the keypad will immediately display the first
digit of information programmed in that section.
The keypad displays the information using a binary for-
mat, according to the following chart:
See Hex data
entry instructions
Press any of the Emergency keys (Fire, Auxiliary or Panic)
to advance to the next digit.
When all the digits in a section have been viewed, the
panel will exit the section: the Ready light will turn OFF,
and the Armed light will turn ON, waiting for the next
three-digit programming section number to be entered.
Press the [#] key to exit the section
LCD Keypad
When a programming section is entered, the keypad will
immediately display all the information programmed in
that section. Use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through the
data being displayed. To exit the section, scroll past the
end of the data displayed, or press the [#] key.
13
Section 4: Keypad Commands
Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the PC5020 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 liquid
crystal display and uses function indicator lights to communicate alarm status to the user.
The PC5020 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 2-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 pressing the Away key. The system will not log the
user who re-started the Exit Delay, unless the Quick Arm-
ing Disabled/Function Keys Require Code option is
turned on (Section [015], option [4]).
Other methods of arming are available (see Section “[*]
[0] Quick Arm”, ’[*][9] Arming without Entry Delay’, and
section 4.4 ’Function Keys’).
NOTE: The PC5020 has a built-in feature called Audi-
ble Exit Fault (see Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS
Sect 3 [001]-[004] for more information).
Stay and Away Arming
When a user arms the system, 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
(i.e., 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 protection 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 the Stay/Away zones back into the system
at any time by entering [*] [1] (see section ’[*][1] Zone
Bypassing’), or by using the Away function button.
If a delay zone is violated during the Exit Delay (i.e.,
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 ’Function Keys’).
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 disarming. 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 Stay or
Away buttons are pressed while the system is armed.
Disarming
To disarm the panel, enter the premises through the des-
ignated entry/exit door. The keypad will emit a steady
beep to warn that you must disarm the system. During
the last 10 seconds of entry delay the panel will pulse the
keypad beeper on and off rapidly to warn that the entry
delay is about to expire.
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 keypad will turn off the Armed light and stop
the keypad buzzer.
If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed the Mem-
ory light and the zones which caused the alarm will be
flashing. Press the [#] key to return the keypad to the
Ready state.
Event Buffer
The panel will store the last 256 events that have occurred
on the system. Each event will contain the time, date, par-
tition 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 the event buffer will not store events after the
swinger shutdown level has been reached. This will pre-
vent the panel from overwriting the entire buffer if a
problem exists (see Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS
Sect 3 [377]. The event buffer can be viewed three differ-
ent 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 Code]
• Step 2 - Select ‘View Event Buffer’
14
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 a
PKP-LCD v2.x and lower keypad, they will show as
being logged in the ’System Area’.
4.2 [*] Commands
[*][1] Zone Bypassing
Users can bypass individual zones using the [*][1] keypad
command. 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. Instructions on
zone bypassing can be found in the PC5020 User’s Guide
(’Zone Bypassing’).
When the partition is disarmed, all zones 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’).
These features are also available on the [*][1] zone bypass-
ing 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 different 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.
NOTE: If a 24-hr zone is bypassed, ensure that the zone
is restored or disabled before removing the bypass.

[*][2] Trouble Display
The panel constantly monitors itself for several different
trouble conditions. If a trouble condition is present, the
Trouble light will be ON and the keypad will beep twice
every 10 seconds. The trouble beep can be silenced by
pressing any key on any keypad. If Bell Squawk on Trou-
ble is enabled (section [014], option[5]), the bell will
squawk every 10 seconds when a Trouble condition is
present.
NOTE: If there is an AC Trouble, the keypad will not
beep for a General System Trouble.
To view Trouble conditions from an LED or LCD5501Z
keypad:
1. Press [*] [2].
2. The keypad will flash the Trouble light. The zone indica-
tor lights corresponding to the present Trouble condi-
tions will be ON.
When using an LCD keypad, the Trouble conditions will
be listed on the display. Users can scroll through the list of
present Trouble conditions using the arrow (< >) keys.
NOTE: Troubles can be viewed while armed using the
LCD keypad, provided the keypad is version 2.0 or
later. Older keypads will incorrectly display ’Fire Trou-
ble’. If using older LCD keypads, program section [013],
option [3] as OFF to ensure that Troubles are displayed
correctly.
The various Troubles are described below:

the keypad(s) on the system will start to beep. Press [5] while in Trouble mode to view the affected zones.
NOTE: A Fire zone trouble will be generated and displayed in the armed state.
Keypad Commands: 4.2 [*] Commands
15
[*] [3] Alarm Memory
The memory light will be on if any alarm occurred during
the last armed period or if an alarm occurred while the
panel was disarmed (24-hr zones). Instructions on view-
ing alarms in memory are located in the PC5020 User’s
Guide (’Disarming the System’).
[*] [4] Door Chime On/Off
If enabled the keypad will beep 6 times rapidly when a
zone is tripped and restored. The panel will only do this
for zones with the Door Chime attribute enabled and if
the door chime feature is enabled (see Section 5.4 Advanced
Programming [101]-[164]).
[*] [5] Programming Access Codes
All access codes can arm and disarm any partition they
are enabled for, and can activate the PGM outputs using
the [*][7] commands (see section ’[*] [7] Command Out-
put Functions’).
For instructions on programming access codes, see the
PC5020 User’s Guide (‘Programming Access Codes’).
The available access codes are as follows:
General Access Codes - Access Codes [01] to [32]
Each access code can be used to arm and disarm the
assigned partitions. Additional access code attributes are
also programmable to determine what abilities the code
will have.
You can program partition assignments and access code
attributes by following the instructions in this section.
Duress Codes - Access Codes [33] and [34]
When a Duress Code is used to perform any function the
panel will send a Duress reporting code to the central sta-
tion (see Section 5.3 Basic Programming [001]-[004] and Sec-
tion 5.6 Communicator Programming ).
Supervisor Codes - Access Codes [41] and [42]
Supervisor Codes can program additional access codes.
By default, Supervisor codes have the same partition and
attribute programming as the Master code. You can
change the partition and attribute programming for these
codes by following the instructions in this section.
System Master Code - Access Code [40]
By default the System Master Code is enabled to operate
on all partitions, and can perform any keypad function.
This code can be used to program all access codes, includ-
ing the Supervisor Codes and Duress Codes.
If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled the
System Master Code can only be changed using Installer
Programming.
Maintenance Code
The maintenance code can only be used to arm and dis-
arm the system. It cannot be used to bypass zones, to
access the Escort5580(TC), or to cancel or postpone auto-
matic arming. The code can only be programmed in
Installer Programming.
Programming Partition Assignments and Access
Code Attributes
You can enable or disable each access code to work on
each partition. Additional access code attributes are also
programmable. Attributes determine what abilities the
code will have.
By default, each code has the attributes of the code used
to program it. For example, if you use the Master Code to
program other access codes, the new codes will have the
same attributes as the Master Code. You can change the
partition and attribute programming by following the
instructions described below.
You cannot change Master Code partition or attribute
programming. The Master Code has all partitions and all
attributes turned on, except for the Bell Squawk on Arm-
ing/Disarming attribute.
To program which partition(s) each code will work on:
1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][8] to enter partition programming.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to
edit.
3. Enter the partition number (1-8) to toggle it on or off.
NOTE: Partition programming is NOT supported at the
following keypads: PC5508(Z), PC5516(Z), PC5532(Z)
versions v2.00 and lower; LCD5500(Z) version 2.x and
lower; LCD5501Z version 1.x and lower.
To program each attribute:
1. Enter [*][5][Master Code][9] to enter the attribute pro-
gramming mode.
2. Enter the 2-digit number of the access code you want to
edit.
3. Enter the attribute number to toggle it on or off.
The programmable attributes are as follows:
•Attributes 1-2: For Future Use.
•Attribute 3: Zone Bypass enabled.
This attribute allows the user to bypass zones.
•Attribute 4: Escort5580(TC) Remote Access
This attribute allows the user to access the security sys-
tem via the Escort, if installed.
•Attribute 5: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone
Number 1. For use with the Escort5580(TC) and the
PC5108L/DLM-4L (see the PC5108L Installation Manual
for details).
•Attribute 6: Downlook Remote Trigger to Telephone
Number 2. For use with the Escort5580(TC) and the
PC5108L/DLM-4L (see the PC5108L Installation Manual
for details).
•Attribute 7: Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming. When
this attribute is turned on, the bell will squawk when the
access code is entered to arm or disarm the system. For
example, you can use the arm/disarm bell squawk
attribute to have wireless key access codes squawk the
bell, while other codes are silent. To do this, enable
attribute [7] on all access codes associated with wireless
keys.
6Zone Tamper: A zone configured for double end of line resistor supervision has a tamper condition, or the tamper switch is open on a wireless
device. When a tamper condition occurs, the keypad(s) will start to beep (if the system is armed, an alarm will occur). Press [6] while in Trouble
mode to view the affected zones. If a zone is tampered or faulted, it must be fully restored to clear the trouble.
7Device Low Battery: A wireless device has a low battery condition. Press [7] one, two, or three times to view which devices are experiencing bat-
tery failure. An LED keypad will indicate battery failure using zone lights. The following will occur:

NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Dis-
arming option (section [014], option [1]), the bell will
sound arm/disarm bell squawks for all access codes,
regardless of the programming for attribute [7] (See
Section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS Sect 3 [001]-[004]
and Section 5.4 ‘Advanced Programming’).
Installer Programming - Codes and Options
There are three codes which can be programmed by the
installer in Installer Programming: the Master Code, the
Installer Code, and a Maintenance Code. All other access
codes can be programmed through the [*][5] command, as
described previously in this section.
The master code can also be programmed by the user as
access code (40). However, if the Master Code Not Change-
able option is enabled, the Master Code can only be
changed in Installer programming.
The Maintenance Code can only be used to arm and dis-
arm the system. The Maintenance Code cannot bypass
zones, use [*][9] to arm the system, cancel auto-arming, or
perform [*][7] command functions. There will be no arm/
disarm bell squawks when the Maintenance Code is used.
General access codes can arm and disarm the system.
When the Code Required for Bypassing option is
enabled, users will need to enter a valid access code in
order to bypass zones. Individual access codes can have
the Zone Bypassing attribute disabled under Access Code
Attribute programming, as described previously in this
section.

[001]-[004] - Zone Definitions
These sections require 16 2-digit entries. Each 2-digit number entered determines how a zone will operate.
NOTE: In addition to selecting how each zone will operate, attributes can be programmed by zone (see section
’Advanced Programming PWS Sect 4’ [101]-[164]).
[001]-[004] ZONE DEFINITIONS
Option Zone Type Description
00 Null Zone For zones that are not used and do not require a closed loop or EOL resistor
01 Delay 1 Follows the Entry Delay 1 and Exit Delay programmed in Section [005] and is normally used for Entry/Exit doors. The
Exit Delay starts as soon as the panel is armed. The zone may be opened and closed during the delay time without
causing an alarm. After the Exit Delay time has expired, opening the zone will start the Entry Delay timer. During the
Entry Delay time, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system should be disarmed. If the
panel is disarmed before the Entry Delay expires, no alarm will be generated.
02 Delay 2 Operates the same as Type [01] zone except the Entry Delay time can be independently set in Section [005]. The Exit
Delay time is common to both zone types.
03 Instant Normally used for door and window contacts and has the standard Exit Delay, but is instant when opened after the
Exit Delay expires
04 Interior Used with interior motion detectors. Interior zones feature an Exit Delay and an Entry Delay provided that any Delay
type zone has been tripped first. If the protected area is entered without coming through the a delayed entrance and
an Interior zone is tripped, an immediate alarm will be generated
05 Interior Stay/Away. If the system is armed and a Delay zone is NOT tripped during the Exit Delay time, this zone type will be bypassed. If
the [*][1] command is used to activate all Stay/Away type zones, this zone will have the standard Exit Delay. Once
armed, this zone will act like an Interior zone [04].
06 Delay Stay/Away If the system is armed and a Delay zone is NOT tripped during the Exit Delay time, this zone type will be bypassed. If
the [*][1] command is used to activate all Stay/Away type zones, this zone will have the standard Exit Delay. Once
armed, this zone will follow the Entry Delay time for Entry Delay 1 when tripped.
07 Delayed 24-hr Fire
(Hardwired)
Operates the same as the standard Fire zone, except the alarm memory and transmission by the communicator is
delayed by 30 seconds. If the alarm is acknowledged by pressing any key within 30 seconds, the bells will silence and
the transmission will be aborted. If the alarm has been acknowledged, and the smoke detector has not been
restored to normal, the bell output will activate after 90 seconds. The user then has another 30 second delay before
the bell output latches and communications is activated. A code is then required to silence the bell output.
NOTE: The Fire Delay will be terminated if a 2nd Fire zone is tripped or if the [F] key is pressed during a delay.
NOTE: This zone type should not be used for Commercial Fire applications.
08 Standard 24-hr Fire
(Hardwired)
On alarm, the bell output will sound to indicate that the fire loop has been activated. If enabled, the communicator
will immediately transmit the alarm to the monitoring station.
NOTE: DO NOT change the Zone attributes of Fire type zones from the default settings.
09 24-hr Supervisory This zone is active at all times and will report an alarm at all times. The Supervision options (NC, EOL, DEOL, ZD) do
not affect the functionality of the zone. The restored state of this zone type is 5.6KΩ, the Alarm state is short and
the Trouble state is open. Can be used with the LINKS module as a LINKS Supervision zone.
NOTE: This zone type must not be used for wireless zones.
10 24-hr Supervisory
Buzzer
This zone is active at all times and will report an alarm at all times. Once tripped, the keypad buzzer will sound until
a valid access code is entered.
NOTE: This zone type should not be used on a Keyswitch ONLY system.
11 24-hr Burglary This zone is active at all times and will report an alarm if the panel is armed or disarmed. This zone will sound the bell
for the length of Bell Time-out if the Audible attribute is enabled.
12 24-hr Holdup Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
13 24-hr Gas Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute
14 24-hr Heat Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
15 24-hr Medical Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
16 24-hr Panic Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
17 24-hr Emergency Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
18 24-hr Sprinkler Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
19 24-hr Water Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
20 24-hr Freeze Similar to 24-hr Burglary except for System Event output type, SIA identifier and zone attribute.
21 24-hr Latching Tamper This zone type, when violated, will cause arming of the system to be inhibited until the valid Installer Code is
entered. If this zone type is violated, the Installer Code must be entered ([*][8] Installers Code) before the system can
be armed.
22 Momentary Keyswitch
Arm
A keyswitch module may be connected to the zone programmed as Momentary Keyswitch arm. Momentary activa-
tion of this zone to the alarm state will alternatively arm and disarm the system and silence alarms.
23 Maintained Keyswitch
Arm
A keyswitch module may be connected to the zone programmed as Maintained Keyswitch arm. In the restored
state, the panel is disarmed. Only the violation of this zone type to the alarm state will make the panel arm.
24 LINKS Answer Provides the LINKS1000 with a forced answer for downloading. The Restored state of this zone type is 5.6KΩ, and the
open state causes the panel to answer. See the LINKS1000 Installation Manual for wiring instructions. When the zone is
violated, the panel will seize the telephone line.
NOTE: This zone type must not be used for wireless zones.

[005] - System Times
This section has 9 sub-sections, 1 for each of the 8 parti-
tions, and 1 for the Bell time-out. A 2-digit entry is
required to access these sub-sections.
NOTE: Entry of 000 in these sections will result in a 255-
second time.
Sub-Sections 1-8 each require three 3-digit entries.
[01] - [08] Entry Delay 1, Entry Delay 2, and Exit Delay
per partition.
•Entry Delay 1: 030-255 Seconds
This value determines the Entry delay time for Delay 1
type zones. The default Entry Delay 1 time is 30 seconds.
•Entry Delay 2: 030-255 Seconds
This value determines the Entry delay time for Delay 2
type zones. The default Entry Delay 2 time is 30 seconds.
•Exit Delay: 045-255 Seconds
This value determines the Exit delay time when arming
the system. The default Exit Delay time is 60 seconds.
NOTE: The Exit Delay must not exceed 255 seconds.
The minimum possible entry is 45 seconds.
NOTE: If the Exit Delay is silent (Section 014, Option 6
or Stay Function Key Arming) the Exit Delay will be
twice the programmed value (090-510 seconds).
[09] Bell Time-out: 001-255 Minutes
The Bell Time-out for all 8 partitions will be the same.
The siren will silence after the number of minutes pro-
grammed for the Bell Time-out value has passed. The
default Bell Time-out is 4 minutes
The panel supervises the Bell output. If an open condition
is detected, the panel will immediately indicate a Trouble
condition by beeping the keypad twice every 10 seconds
to alert the owner to the problem. The panel can send a
Bell Circuit Trouble and Trouble Restoral reporting
codes to indicate the situation (see Section 5.6, ‘Commu-
nicator Programming’ PWS Sect 6).
If the Temporal Three Fire Signal option is enabled, all
Fire signals will follow the Temporal Three Pattern as
described in NFPA 72. If turned OFF all Fire signals will
sound a one second on, one second off cadence.
If Fire Bell Continuous is enabled, the alarm output will
sound until a code is entered. If disabled, the alarm will
sound until a code is entered or the bell time-out has
expired.
NOTE: Only fire zones will follow the Temporal Three
Fire Signal.

25 Interior Delay Zone The Interior Delay Zone is normally used with motion detectors and has a standard Exit Delay time. If the panel is
armed, and a Delay zone is violated during the Exit Delay (or the Away function key is used), the Interior Delay Zone
will be active at the end of the Exit Delay. This zone will cause an instant alarm when violated. This zone type will fol-
low the Entry Delay time provided that a Delay zone is violated first. If the panel is armed, and a Delay zone is NOT
violated during the Exit Delay (or the Stay function key is used, or [*][9] armed), a violation of this zone type will ini-
tiate Entry Delay 1.
26 24-hr Non-Alarm These zones are active at all times but do not cause an alarm, and do not show up in alarm memory. Zone Attributes
such as Zone Bypassing and Door Chime affect the functionality of this zone. A 24-hr Non-alarm zone may be used
for Zone Follower automation applications.
NOTE: This zone type will be active in Walk Test. Tampers and Faults. Zones programmed as 24-hr Non-
alarm type will not cause alarms.
NOTE: Alarms on this zone will not initiate Downlook.
27 Delayed 24-hr Water-
flow
These zones will follow the waterflow Delay Timer. When a delayed waterflow zone is violated, the waterflow timer
will start, (any subsequent delayed waterflow zones that become active do not reset or abort this timer). If there are
still delayed waterflow zones open when the waterflow timer expires, the panel will go into alarm and communicate
the event(s) regardless of the armed state.
28 Instant 24-hr Water-
flow
A waterflow alarm is a Fire alarm. The Fire related bells and Aux functions are activated. This Zone type functions
similar to Type 27 (Delayed 24-hr waterflow), but does not follow the Waterflow Delay Timer. When this zone is vio-
lated, it will immediately go into alarm. This zone type always uses a single EOL configuration.
29 Auto Verified Fire Zone This zone ensures that an alarm condition persists by resetting a tripped sensor in a fire zone and confirming that the
sensor has remained tripped or is waiting for the sensor to re-trip within a set period of time (e.g., cycling power to
a smoke detector to ensure the condition persists when power is restored). The alarm sequence for the zone is indi-
cated below:
Step #1 Duration 20 Seconds Sensor Reset
Step #2 Duration 10 Seconds Settle Time (Power-up)
Step #3 Duration 60 Seconds Check for Verified Alarm
NOTE: If another Fire device detects Fire during the Auto Verify or Delay sequence, the sequence is termi-
nated and alarms are immediately generated for all pending zones. This applies to all other Fire zones on
the system regardless of the partition assignments (i.e., two fire alarms anywhere on the system will can-
cel all pending fire delays and create immediate alarms).
30 Fire Supervisory Zone When this zone is violated, the system turns on the keypad buzzer, and communicates the supervisory alarm condi-
tion to the monitoring station. The buzzer will not follow the Bell Time-out. To silence the buzzer, a valid access code
must be entered.
NOTE: The fire supervisory alarm is not affected by the waterflow silence inhibit option described in
[018], Option 4, Pg 32
31 Day Zone A zone programmed as this type has different characteristics in the armed and disarmed state. In the disarmed state,
violating this zone will sound the keypad buzzer but will not log or report the event. In the armed state, violating this
zone will sound the bell and communicate the event.
87 Delayed 24-hr Fire
(Wireless)
Used only with wireless smoke detectors. Functions same as Zone Type [07].
88 Standard 24-hr Fire
(Wireless)
Used only with wireless smoke detectors. Functions same as Zone Type [08].

report as a Special Opening/Closing and will log to the
event buffer as ’Maintenance Code’.
[009]-[011] Programmable Output Options
Programmable outputs are programmed with a two digit
code indicated in the table below. Programmable outputs
are available on the following devices:
• PGM 1, PGM 2, PGM 3, and PGM 4 on the PC5020
main board
• 8 low current outputs available with the PC5208 out-
put module
• 4 high current outputs available with the PC5204
power supply/output module
• Section [009] is used to program the PGM outputs on
the PC5020.
• The first two entries of Section [010] are used to pro-
gram the last two outputs on the PC5020, and the first
two on the PC5208.
• Section [010] is used to program the PGM outputs on
the PC5208.
• Section [011] is used to program the PGM outputs on
the PC5204.
Programming any of the outputs is a three step process:
1. Select an option from the list below for the PGM output.
2. Select the output attributes for the PGM output.
3. Select the partitions on which the PGM output will operate.
The following is a list of the programmable output
options and attributes.
PGM Attribute Programming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [501]-[564]
[009] - [011] PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT OPTIONS
Option Output Description
01 Burglary and Fire Bell
Follower
This output will activate when the Bell output is active and will turn off when the alarm output is silenced. If the
alarm output is pulsing, the PGM output will pulse as well. This PGM output will follow:
• Fire Pre-alerts
• Temporal Three Fire Signal (if enabled)
• All Burglary and Fire Alarms by partition
• Bell Time-out
This output will NOT follow Bell Squawks of any kind. The Main Bell will still activate for all alarms; the PGM out-
put will only activate for alarms for the partition it is assigned to.
NOTE: The Fire Bell has precedence over Burglary. If a fire alarm occurs on partition X, and partition Y
already has a Burglary Alarm active (’Burg’ PGM active on partition two), the Fire and Burg output on
partition Y will pulse (’Fire’ PGM) with the Main Bell. Silent alarms will be audible if either partition is
in an audible alarm condition.
02 Not Used For Future Use
03 Sensor Reset This output will normally be active. This option is used to reset power for latching smoke detectors. The output
will deactivate for five seconds when the [*] [7] [2] command is entered (see section ’[*] [7] Command Output
Functions’). The keypad buzzer will not sound for the five second period.
Refer to the Control Panel Wiring Diagram in this manual for wiring instructions.
NOTE: Only ONE of options [03] Sensor Reset and [20] [*] [7] [2] Command Output Option [2] may be
programmed on the same system.
04 Two-Wire Smoke Reset
(PGM2 only)
Allows 2-wire smoke detectors to be connected; refer to the wiring diagram on page iv, [*][7][2] to reset.
05 System Armed Status The output will activate when the partition or system is armed and deactivate when disarmed. If this output is
assigned to both partitions, all partitions must be armed for the output to activate.
06 Ready To Arm The output will activate when the partition or System is ready to arm (all non-force armable zones on the system
are restored). The output will deactivate when an access code is entered to arm the system and the Exit Delay
begins.
07 Keypad Buzzer Follow This output will activate when any of the following events occurs and will remain active for as long as the keypad
buzzer is active: Door Chime, Entry Delay, Audible Exit Delay, Auto-arm Prealert and 24-hr Supervisory Buzzer Zone
08 Courtesy Pulse This option provides an output which activates for the entry and exit times, plus 2 minutes. It can be used to turn
on a courtesy light near the exit door for the duration of the entry / exit times. If more than one courtesy pulse
output is required, they all must be programmed for global operation (PGM attributes 1 and 2 enabled).
09 System Trouble The output will activate when any of the selected Trouble conditions are present. It will deactivate when all the
selected Trouble conditions are cleared. The PGM attributes for this option, programmed in Sections [141] to
[142], differ from the standard selection of attributes normally programmed in sections [501] to [514]. Program
which Trouble conditions will activate the output by selecting some or all of the following attributes:
Bit [1] Service Required* Bit [5] Fire Trouble / Zone Fault
Bit [2] AC Failure Bit [6] Zone Tamper
Bit [3] Telephone Line Trouble Bit [7] Zone Low Battery
Bit [4] Failure to Communicate Bit [8] Loss of Clock

10 Latched System Event
(Strobe)
This output will activate when any of the selected system events (alarms) occur on the system. In the armed state,
the output will deactivate only once the system is disarmed. This output will activate when the programmed
events occur on any partition.
If an alarm activates this output in the disarmed state, the output will deactivate if a user enters a valid access code
while the Bell Time-out is counting down. The output will also deactivate if someone arms the system after the
Bell Time-out has expired. This output can be used to indicate that an alarm has occurred before entering the pre-
mises.
The PGM attributes for this option, programmed in Sections [501] to [514], differ from the standard selection of
attributes normally programmed. Program the events that will activate the output by selecting some or all of the
following attributes:
Bit [1] Burglary (Delay, Instant, Interior, Stay/Away and 24-hr Burglary Zones)
Bit [2] Fire (Fire Keys, Fire Zones)
Bit [3] Panic (Panic Keys and Panic Zones)
Bit [4] Medical (Auxiliary Keys, Medical and Emergency Zones)
Bit [5] Supervisory (Supervisory, Freezer and Water Zones)
Bit [6] Priority (Gas, Heat, Sprinkler and 24-hr Latching Zones)
Bit [7] Holdup (Holdup Zones)
Bit [8] Output follows pulse timer (Section [170])
This output will activate for silent and audible alarms or medical conditions only. It will not activate during pre-alert
or delays.
11 System Tamper This output will activate when any Tamper condition is present and will deactivate when all Tamper conditions are
cleared. These tampers include zone tampers (DEOL), 24-hr latching tamper zone type, module and keypad
tampers.
12 TLM and Alarm This output will activate when a telephone line fault condition is present AND an alarm occurs. The output will
remain active until an access code is entered to disarm any partition. The output will activate for all audible and
silent alarms (except duress) if a TLM Trouble is present. If an alarm activates this output in the disarmed state, it
will deactivate when the system is armed or the telephone line is restored.
13 Kissoff The PGM output will activate for two seconds after the panel receives the kissoff from the central station.
14 Ground Start The output will activate for two seconds before the panel attempts dialing to obtain a dial tone on ground start
telephone equipment. Two 2-second pauses must be inserted at the beginning of the telephone number when
using this option.
15 Remote Operation This output can be activated and deactivated remotely on command from DLS software.
16 LINKS 1000 Support
(PGM1 only)
This option configures the PGM1 terminal for operation with the LINKS1000 cellular alarm communicator.
17 Away Armed Status This output will activate when the system is armed with the Stay/Away zones activated.
18 Stay Armed Status The output will activate when the system is armed with the Stay/Away zones bypassed.
19 Command Output #1. This output is activated by entering the [*][7][1] command. The configuration of the corresponding attributes
determines how this PGM type will activate.
Command Outputs 1-4 are user-initiated by entering [*] [7] [1-4] at any keypad. When any output is activated,
three acknowledgment beeps are sounded.
Refer to Section [501] and [551] for more information on Attributes.
NOTE: If there are multiple outputs programmed with the same output type, the output options must
be the same.
20 Command Output #2. This output is activated by entering the [*][7][2] command. The configuration of the corresponding attributes
determines how this PGM type will activate.
NOTE: Only ONE of options [03] Sensor Reset and [20] [*] [7] [2] Command Output Option #2 may be
programmed on the same system.
21 Command Output #3. This output is activated by entering the [*][7][3] command. The configuration of the corresponding attributes
determines how this PGM type will activate.
22 Command Output #4. This output is activated by entering the [*][7][4] command. The configuration of the corresponding attributes
determines how this PGM type will activate.
23 Silent 24-hr Input (PGM2
Only).
With this input the keypad will not indicate an alarm, the bell will remain silent but the signal will be sent to the
central station. This input does not follow Swinger Shutdown. A 2.2KΩ EOL resistor is required for this input (to
Aux+). If a short or open occurs, an alarm is generated.
24 Audible 24-hr (PGM 2
only).
LCD keypads will show that the system is in alarm, and the bell will sound for the duration of BTO. The signal will
also be sent to the central station. This input does not follow Swinger Shutdown. A 2.2KΩ EOL resistor is required
for this input (to Aux+). If a short or open occurs, an alarm is generated.
25 Delay Fire and Burglar
Output.
This programmable output type operates the same as the Fire and Burglary Output (Type 01), except that it follows
the Transmission Delay Timer found in Section [370]. If a zone is violated that has the TX Delay attribute enabled
(bit 7), the bell and regular Fire and Burg PGMs will activate. At the end of the Transmission Delay, this new PGM
type will activate.
This feature is used for door sirens; if a false alarm occurs on a panel, the end user could silence it before any
external sirens are activated.
NOTE: If a zone is violated that causes an alarm that does not have Tx Delay enabled, these outputs
will activate immediately.
This output is partitionable, and will follow transmission delay by partition.
This output will activate for Audible Exit Fault
[009] - [011] PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT OPTIONS
Option Output Description
24
[012] - Keypad Lockout Options
The panel can be programmed to ‘lockout’ keypads if a
series of incorrect access code entries is made. After the
Number of Invalid Codes Before Lockout has been
reached the panel will lock out the keypad for the Lock-
out 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. To program ‘Number of
Invalid Codes Before Lockout’:
Enter a number from 000 to 255 to determine the number
of invalid master, duress, user or installer access code
entries to reach keypad lockout. When keypad lockout
occurs, the system is rendered inoperative via keypad for
the programmed duration. When any keys are pressed,
an error tone will sound.
To program ‘Lockout Duration’, enter a time from 000 to
255 minutes to determine the length of time before lock-
out resets and the keypad can once again be used.
NOTE: If lockout is not reached within the hour roll-
over, the number of invalid attempts is reset to 0.
NOTE: FAP keys are still active during Keypad Lockout.
NOTE: Keypad Lockout is a Global Feature.
To disable Keypad Lockout enter the Number of Invalid
Codes Before Lockout as (000).
NOTE: If Keypad Lockout is active, the panel cannot be
armed or disarmed with a keyswitch.
[013] First System Option Codes
Option Definition On/Off Description
1 Zone Loop Type ON Normally Closed Loops. All zones are wired as normally closed circuits with returns connected to a
COM terminal. The end of line resistor is not required. An alarm will be generated when the circuit is
opened.
OFF End of Line Resistors. All zones must be wired with an end of line (EOL) resistor configuration,
determined by Option 2 in this system.
NOTE: The valid EOL value is 5600 Ohms (5.6KΩΩ).
2 End of Line Option ON Double End-of-Line Resistors. All zones will use Double-End-of-Line resistors, except Standard Fire,
Delayed Fire, Supervisory, and LINKS Answer zone types. These zones must be connected using the
EOL resistor. Double EOL resistors enable detection of zone faults and tampers. See wiring diagram.
OFF Single End-of-Line Resistors. All zones must have a 5.6KΩ resistor across them. If the zone is
shorted or open, it will be in the violated state.
3 Trouble Display ON Panel Shows all Troubles While Armed. The panel will illuminate the Trouble LED when any trou-
bles are present on the system in both the armed and disarmed state.
OFF Panel Shows Only Fire Troubles While Armed. The panel will illuminate the Trouble LED for all
troubles while disarmed, but will only illuminate the LED for Fire Troubles while armed.
NOTE: This option must be OFF if PKP-LCD keypads older than version 2.00 are used.
4 Tampers/Faults Dis-
play
ON Tampers and Faults Do Not Show as Open. The panel will not illuminate the respective zone LED
if the zone is in the Tamper or Fault states, only the Trouble LED will be on.
OFF Tampers and Faults Show as Open. The panel will illuminate the respective Zone LED if the zone is
in the Tamper or Fault states. The Trouble LED will also light.
5 Auto-arm Schedule
Programming
ON Auto-arm Schedule in [*][6]. The Auto-arm schedules (Sect [181] - [188]) are accessible via [*][6] as
well as Installer Programming.
NOTE: Refer to ’Setting Date and Time’ in the User’s Guide
OFF Auto-arm Schedule in Installer’s. Programming Only. The Auto-arm Schedules (Sect [181] -
[188]) are only accessible via Installer’s Programming.
NOTE: This toggle controls access for all eight partitions
6 Audible Exit Fault ON Audible Exit Fault is Enabled. To prevent false alarms, use the built-in feature Audible Exit Fault.
If a delay zone is violated within 4 seconds after the Exit Delay has expired, the panel will sound the
Entry Delay warning through the keypad and siren alerting the customer that an improper exit was
made. If the panel is disarmed within the Entry Delay no signal is sent. If not, the panel will continue
to sound the alarm and send a signal to the central station.
OFF Audible Exit Fault is Disabled.
NOTE: For [*][9] arming, if Audible Exit Fault is enabled a violated zone will begin entry
delay as per Audible Exit Fault functionality. If this option is disabled, a violated delay zone
at the end of the Exit Delay will cause an instant alarm.
7 Event Buffer Fol-
lows Swinger Shut-

[018] - SIXTH SYSTEM OPTION CODES
Option Definition On/Off Description
1 Periodic Test Trans-
mission Exception
ON Periodic Test Transmission Exception Enabled. With this feature enabled, the panel will not send
a test transmission if there has been a transmission sent to the receiver within the programmed time.
Test Transmission Exception allows any communicable event to reset the test transmission cycle,
reducing the number of communications events sent to the central station, For example:
02/10 - Opening
02/11 - Closing1 Days
02/14 - Test Transmission3 Days < 7 Days
02/16 - Opening2 Days between
02/18 - Closing2 Days Test
02/21 - Test Transmission3 Days < Transmissions
If an event is communicated, the Test Tx counter is reset, ensuring that a Test Tx event will not occur
for an entire cycle from that point, instead of from the last test transmission sent. An example is
given below with test transmission set for every 3 days. This ensures that a transmission is sent every
3 days to test communications; however, if an event has already been sent in the last 3 days, a test
transmission is not required. If the event was sent via land line, the land line Test Tx cycle is reset. If
the event is sent via LINKS1000, the LINKS Test Tx cycle is reset.
NOTE: In order for an event to reset the Test Tx cycle, a kissoff must be received from the
receiver.
NOTE: The test transmission cycle will not be reset when events are transmitted using the
Pager (05) or Residential Dial (06) formats.
OFF Periodic Test Transmission Exception Disabled. The panel will always send a test transmission at
the programmed interval and time. This option is OFF at default.

Option Definition On/Off Description
2 Verbal Door Chime ON Verbal Door Chime Is Enabled. The system will verbally annunciate the zone (or programmed
label) when it is violated if Door Chime is programmed.
This feature is available when Escort5580(TC) v3.00, and the PC5936 v1.00 are used. This feature
enables the Door Chime to verbally annunciate the zone that has been violated instead of a series of
beeps, If the Verbal Chime feature is enabled, whenever a zone with the Chime attribute enabled is
violated, a series of beeps will sound and the system will verbally prompt ’Zone X’. When the zone is
restored, the system will sound a series of beeps. For example, if a label is programmed for the above
Zone, the system will verbally annunciate (after the beeps) ’South Bedroom Window’. See associ-
ated Installation Manuals
NOTE: Only beeps are annunciated on a zone restoral.
OFF Verbal Door Chime is Disabled. The system will only annunciate a series of beeps whenever a zone
programmed for Chime is either violated or restored. This option is defaulted OFF.
3 Verbal Alarm ON Verbal Alarm Is Enabled. The system will verbally annunciate audible zone alarms via their zone
number (or programmed label) in conjunction with the bell outputs.
This feature is available when the Escort5580(TC) v3.00 and PC5936 v1.00) are used. This feature
enables verbal annunciation of alarm conditions on the system. When an audible non-fire zone goes
into alarm with this feature enabled, the PC5020 will sound the alarm condition via the bell outputs,
but every 15 seconds (as programmed in the Alarm Tone Period – Section [178]) it will silence the bell
outputs and the PC5936 speakers will verbally annunciate the alarm condition ’Alarm Zone 4’ or, if
the label is programmed, ’Alarm South Bedroom Window’.
When the zone is in alarm, the software automatically inserts the word ’Alarm’ in front of the appro-
priate zone label.
When an audible fire zone goes into alarm, the system automatically inserts the words ’Fire’ and
’Alarm’ in front of the appropriate zone label (’Fire Alarm Zone 4’ or ’Fire Alarm South Bedroom
Smoke’).
If there are multiple alarms, the system will annunciate the first and last zones that have gone into
alarm.
NOTE: Fire annunciation always overrides any Burglary Zone alarm annunciation. Verbal
Alarm will cease with the siren at Bell Time-out.
OFF Verbal Alarm is Disabled. The system will only annunciate via the bell outputs during an audible
alarm condition. This option is defaulted OFF.

tem or not. This Option is OFF at default.
5 Keypad Buzzer
Alarm
ON Keypad Buzzer Follows Bell Enabled. The keypad buzzers will follow the selected partition’s bell
activity.
OFF Keypad Buzzer Follows Bell Disabled. The keypad buzzer will not follow all bell activity. Only
alarms designated to activate the keypad buzzer will do so. This option is OFF at default.
6 Cross Zoning /
Police Zone Select
ON Cross Zoning is Enabled. The panel will use the Cross Zone attribute for Burglary verification.
This feature requires two or more trips on a zone(s) designated as ’cross zones’ within a specified
time before starting an alarm sequence. See Section [101],Option 9, Pg 33.
When a zone with the Cross Zone attribute enabled is violated, nothing occurs on the local premises
(except Entry Delay or System Event PGM output activation, if applicable) and the Cross Zone Timer
commences. If another zone with the Cross Zone attribute enabled is violated before the timer
expires, the panel will transmit the first alarm signal, a Cross Zone event, followed by the second
zone alarm, and begins the appropriate local alarm sequence. If no other zones are violated before
the timer expires, no alarm sequence occurs and an Alarm Not Verified event is logged. If the Double
Hit feature is enabled (Section [017], Option 4), the panel will react on two violations of the same
zone during the Cross Zone Timer (Section [176]) for starting an alarm sequence.
This option is dependent on the programming of the Burglary Verification Options (Section [018],
Option 6). It is not enabled if Police Code is enabled.
This option will not function on zones that do not log alarm events (e.g., while disarmed, Day Zone,
Instant zone, etc.).
NOTE: The Cross Zone/Police Code Timer is in seconds for Cross Zoning and in minutes for
Police Code. No fire zones types should use the Cross Zone Attribute.
OFF Police Code is Enabled. The panel will use the Police Code feature for Burglary Verification. This
option is OFF at default.
NOTE: Each zone has the ability to individually protect the intended area.
7 Exit Delay Restart ON One Time Exit Delay Restart on Delay zone re-entry Enabled. If a Delay zone is violated and
restored during the Exit Delay, it is considered an exit. If a delay zone is violated again it is considered
a re-entry. With this option enabled the panel will restart the Exit Delay. Further violations and
restores of delay zones will not restart the Exit Delay. NOTE: Option is ON by default.
OFF One Time Exit Delay Restart on Delay Zone Re-entry Disabled. Delay zone violations and
restores will not restart the Exit Delay.
NOTE: The Exit Delay can only be restarted once. This includes restarts from Away function
keys.
8 AC Trouble Beeps ON AC Trouble Beeps Enabled. When an AC Trouble occurs on the panel, all keypads will sound an
audible Trouble indication (2 beeps every 10 seconds)
OFF AC Trouble Beeps Disabled. AC Troubles will remain silent. This option is OFF at default.

When a zone trip occurs, the Cross Zone Timer starts.
This timer affects the panel in two different ways
depending on the programming of the Burglary Verifica-
tion Options (Section [018], Option 6):
• If the Police Code feature is being used, the first zone
alarm will immediately transmit. If a second zone
alarm occurs in the time period (minutes) pro-
grammed in this section, the panel will log and trans-
mit the Police Code event. If the second zone alarm
occurs after this timer expires, the Police Code will not
be logged or transmitted, and the timer will restart.
• If the new Cross Zone attribute is used, the first zone
alarm will not log or transmit. If a second zone is vio-
lated within the Cross Zone Timer’s duration (sec-
onds), the panel will go into the appropriate alarm
sequence and will communicate both zone alarms. No
Police Code is sent.
NOTE: If 000 is programmed in this section, either: the
Police Code will transmit for any two different zone
alarms during an armed-to-armed period or the new
Cross Zoning feature will not work. This is not a valid
entry for Cross Zoning.
NOTE: Option[9], Section [101]-[164] must be enabled
for the Cross Zoning feature to function. Each zone
has the ability to individually protect the intended
area. Cross Zoning is NOT recommended for line secu-
rity installations or on exit/entry zones.

Sections [181] through [188] allow the installer to program
seven independent times of the day when the selected par-
tition will arm when Auto-arm is enabled. The 7 entries
represent the days of the week as indicated below:
NOTE: Valid entries are 0000-2359 hrs; 9999 to dis-
able.
X = partition to which the section belongs (i.e. Section
[182] = partition two schedule). In addition to these
schedules, partitions can be enabled or disabled in [*][6]
programming. This is controlled by Option 2 in Section
[017].
[190] - No Activity Arming Pre-Alert Duration
This is the duration for which the No Activity Arming
Pre-alert will sound when the No Activity Timer for the
partition expires (see Section [191]-[198]). If programmed
as 000, the partition will arm as soon as its No Activity
Timer expires. This feature enables the system (or parti-
tion) to arm if there is no zone activity for a programmed
time period. If the No Activity Arm option for a partition
is programmed with a number other than 000, the parti-
tion will Auto-arm if no activity is detected for the pro-
grammed number of minutes.
[191]-[198] - No-Activity Timer (Partition 1-8)
The timer will begin when a delay type zone assigned to
the partition is restored. The timer is stopped if any zone
assigned to the partition is tripped or restored. The timer
will restart when a delay type zone is again restored.
When the timer expires, the panel will sound the buzzers
of all keypads assigned to the partition for the time pro-
grammed in Section [190]. If any key is pressed or zone is
violated/restored on that partition, the Auto-arm Pre-
alert will be aborted. For zone types 04, 05, 06, and 25,
restorals will not affect No Activity Arming. A partition
begins it’s Auto-arm sequence when its No-Activity
Timer expires. If 000 is programmed in a section, No-
Activity Arming for that partition is disabled. Valid
entries are 000 - 255 minutes, with a default of 001.
The system will not arm if it is in OFF normal state.
[199] - Auto-arming Pre-Alert Time
This section allows programming of the standard Auto-
arm Pre-alert duration. If Auto-arm is postponed this
timer will re-start after the Auto-arm Postpone Timer
expires. Valid entries are from 001 - 255 minutes, the
default is 005.
NOTE: There is no differentiation between the No
Activity Pre-alert and the Standard Auto-arm Pre-alert
at a keypad. No Activity Arming and Auto-arm will log
and transmit as a Special Closing.
5.5 Partition & Zone Programming
[201] Partition Selection Mask
This section allows the programming of which partitions
will be active on the system.
[202]-[265] - Partition Zone Assignments
Partitions and Zone Assignment
A partition is a limited area of the premises which will
operate independently of another area of the premises.
You can create up to eight partitions on the PC5020 sys-
tem.
To set up the system for more than one partition, you
must turn on each partition in section [201].
You can assign any zone to any of the partitions. Global
Zones are zones assigned to more than one partition. A
global zone will only be armed when all assigned parti-
tions are armed. The zone will be disarmed when any
assigned partition is disarmed.
By default, zones 1 through 8 are assigned to partition 1.
If additional zones are being used, or if the application
requires more than one partition, you must program
which zones are assigned to which partitions. You can do
this in programming sections [202] - [265].
NOTE: You can assign any Access Code to work on any
of the partitions (see section ’[*] [5] Programming
Access Codes’).
You can assign keypads to work on either a single parti-
tion, or on all partitions (Global operation). See Section 2
‘Keypad Assignment’.
Each partition can be programmed to report using a differ-
ent account number.
Some of the Programmable Output options are also select-
able by partition see Section 5 ‘Programmable Outputs’.

These 8-bit toggle sections determine which partitions
each individual zone is assigned to. If a zone is enabled
on any partition, it will be supervised via the panel’s EOL
supervision, and will operate according to the zone type
programmed. If a zone is not assigned to any partition, it
will not be supervised and all activity on the zone will be
ignored by the panel.
5.6 Communicator Programming PWS Sect6
[301]-[304] Communicator - Telephone Numbers
The panel can call 3 different telephone numbers for com-
munication to a central station. The 1stTelephone Num-
ber is the primary number, the 2nd Telephone Number is
the secondary number and the 3rd Telephone Number
will back up the 1st telephone number if enabled.
NOTE: The 3rd Telephone Number will NOT back up
the 2nd Telephone Number.
If Alternate Dial is enabled the panel will alternate
between the 1st and 3rd telephone numbers when
attempting to call the central station. If disabled the panel
will only attempt to call the 3rd telephone number after
failing to communicate on the 1st telephone number.
NOTE: For Alternate Dial to work properly the 3rd
telephone Number must be both enabled and pro-
grammed.
Telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will
allow you to add special digits if required. To program
the telephone number enter numbers 0 through 9 as
required.
To communicate events over a LAN or WAN network
using the T-Link module, program the desired phone
number with DCAA. This allows the panel to send events
to the T-Link module in the SIA format via the PC-Link
connection.
NOTE: This feature has not been investigated by UL.
Pressing [#] in these sections from an LED keypad will
exit and delete the rest of the phone number. Pressing [#]
in these sections from an LCD keypad will exit and save
the entire phone number up to the first Hex F.
The following is a list of Hex digits which can also be pro-
grammed and the functions they perform:
Hex (A) -not used
Hex (B) -simulates the [*] key on a tone telephone
Hex (C) -simulates the [#] key on a tone telephone
Hex (D) -forces the panel to search for dial tone
Hex (E) -forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
Hex (F) -end of telephone number marker

[303] - Third Telephone Number
NOTE: There is a static delay of 2 seconds before any
additional dial tone search in a phone number.
NOTE: The panel will not attempt to communicate, if
no phone number is programmed. This applies to
phone numbers 1, 2 and 3.
[304] - Call Waiting Cancel Dialing String
This is a 6-digit Hex entry that is used to disable Call
Waiting on a Call Waiting-equipped phone line. This is
typically *70 in most areas. Dialing this string before a
phone number will disable Call Waiting for the duration
of the call. If this section is programmed (not FF), and Sec-
tion 382, Option 4 is ON, the panel will dial this string in
place of the first digit of the phone number (Sections
[301]-[303]). This only applies to the first attempt that is
made to each phone number.
NOTE: If not all 6 digits are required they should be
filled with Hex F.
All 6 digits of this section need to be programmed in
order for any changes to be accepted.
Communicator - Account Codes
The System Account Code will be used by the panel
when communicating System events (e.g. Low Battery,
Test Transmission). This account code can be up to six
digits in length for the SIA Communications format. Only
the SIA reporting format supports six-digit account
codes. All other formats will use the first four digits of the
account code.
NOTE: If the communicator is programmed for the SIA
reporting format, the system will use this account code
for all partitions.
There are eight Partition Identifier Codes (or account
codes) programmable, one for each partition. The account
code is used by central station to determine which panel
is calling.
If you have programmed the system for more than one
partition, you must program an account code for each
active partition. The panel will report to the central sta-
tion by partition. For example, if an alarm occurs on a
zone assigned to partition 1 the panel will report using
partition 1 account code.
[310] - System Account Code
This is the account code used by the panel when commu-
nicating System events (e.g., Low Battery, Test Transmis-
sion, etc.).
This account code can be up to six digits in length for the
SIA Communications format.
Only SIA supports 6-digit account codes. If the last two
digits of the account code are FF, the panel will only use
the first four digits. All other formats will use the first
four digits of the account code.
The call directions that use this account code are System
Maintenance (Troubles, Zone Faults, etc.) and System Test
Transmissions.
NOTE: SIA will use this account code for all partitions
and system events. System events will be identified by
Nri0, with partitions 1-8 using Nri1-8.
[311]-[317] - Partition 1-8 Account Codes
These account codes are used by the panel when commu-
nicating events for partitions 1-8 when using formats
other than SIA.
NOTE: All partition account codes are 4 digits in
length. Valid entries are 0000-FFFE.
32
[320] - [349] Reporting Codes
Communicator - Reporting Codes
Unless you are using Automatic Contact ID or Automatic
SIA formats, reporting codes must be programmed in
order for the panel to report events to the central station.
Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal
digits A through F. To disable a reporting code, program
it as FF (default setting) or 00. For a complete description
of reporting codes which can be programmed and lists of
Automatic Contact ID and SIA format codes, see section
Appendix A: ‘Reporting Codes‘.
[320]-[323] - Alarm Reporting Codes, Zones 1-64
The panel will transmit the Zone Alarm reporting code
for a zone when the zone goes into alarm. 24-hr type
zones will go into alarm whether the panel is armed or
disarmed and report to the central station. All other zone
types will only go into alarm if the panel is armed.
Reporting codes can be one or two digits and can use Hex
digits (A through F). The following is a description of the
different reporting codes that can be programmed and
when the events will be reported to the central station.
[324]-[327] - Alarm Restoral Reporting Codes,
Zones 1-64
If the Restoral on Bell Time-out option is selected the
panel will send the Zone Restoral Reporting Code for the
zone when the alarm output times out AND the zone is
secure. If the zone is not secured when the alarm output
times out the panel will send the restoral immediately
after the zone is secured.
If the Restoral on Bell Time-out option is not selected the
panel will immediately send the Zone Restoral reporting
code when the zone is secured or when the panel is dis-
armed, regardless if the alarm output is active or not.
NOTE: 24-hr type zones will report the restoral immedi-
ately after the zone is secured.

[350] - Communicator Format Options
Communicator - Reporting Formats
Each central station telephone number of the panel can be
programmed to report using any one of the 5 formats
available. The following formats are supported: Pulse (10
and 20 bps), Contact ID, SIA, Residential Dial and a Pager
format. The following is a description of each.
SIA (Level 2)
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate infor-
mation quickly using frequency shift keying (FSK) rather
than pulses. The SIA format will automatically generate
the type of signal being transmitted, such as Burglary,
Fire, Panic etc. The two digit reporting code is used to
identify the zone or access code number.
NOTE: SIA format must be used if Downlook is
required.
NOTE: SIA format must be used for phone numbers
programmed to communicate via the T-Link.
If the SIA format is selected the panel can be programmed
to automatically generate all zone and access code num-
bers eliminating the need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is
enabled the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00]
the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as any-
thing from [01] to [FF] the panel will AUTOMATICALLY
generate the zone or access code number.
3. Bypassed zones will always be identified when partial
closing of the system occurs.
The Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to
disable reporting of events such as Openings/Closings.
Also, if all the Opening/Closing reporting codes were
programmed as [00] the panel would not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is
disabled the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] or
[FF] the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as any-
thing from [01] to [FE] the panel will send the programmed
reporting code.
3. Bypassed zones will not be identified when partial closing
the system.
NOTE: If using Downlook, do not program the second
telephone number for the SIA reporting code format
(Section [360]) if the Automatic Reporting Code option
is enabled (Section [381]).
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and
Zone Fault events will not be identified when Pro-
grammed SIA is used.

Residential Dial
If Residential Dial is programmed and an event pro-
grammed to communicate occurs, the panel will seize the
line and dial the appropriate telephone number(s). Once
the dialing is complete, the panel will emit an ID tone and
wait for a handshake (press a 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 0, ✱ or # key
from any telephone). It will wait for this handshake for
the duration of Post Dial Wait for Handshake timer.
Once the panel receives the handshake, it will emit an
alarm tone over the telephone line for 20 seconds. If sev-
eral alarms occur at the same time, only one call will be
made to each telephone number the panel is programmed
to call.
Programming Sections: 5.6 Communicator Programming PWS Sect6

NOTE: The Residential Dial format will not work over
the LINKS1000.
Communicator Call Direction Options . . . . . Section [361] to [368]
Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either telephone
number can be programmed for Pager format. If an event
occurs and the Communicator Call Direction options
direct the call to a telephone number with the Pager for-
mat selected the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make
it work properly.The following is a list of Hex digits and
the function they perform:
Hex [A] - not used
Hex [B] - simulates the [] key on a tone telephone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a tone telephone
Hex [F] - end of telephone number marker
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After
dialing the digits in the telephone number the panel will
send the account number and reporting code followed by
the [#] key (Hex [C]).
There is no ringback when using Pager format. The panel
has no way of confirming if the pager was called success-
fully; a Failure to Communicate Trouble will only be gen-
erated once the maximum number of attempts has been
reached.
NOTE: The Pager format cannot be used with the
LINKS1000 cellular communicator.
NOTE: Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when
using Pager format. In most cases, the digit C will be
interpreted as a [#], which will terminate the page
before it has finished.
NOTE: If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt
to page again. It will make the maximum number of
attempts programmed in section [165]. Force dialing
should be disabled when using Pager format.
NOTE: When using Pager format, you must program
two hex digit Es at the end of the telephone number.
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will
communicate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 10 or 20 bits per second
• non-extended
The digit ‘0’ will send no pulses and is used as a filler.
When programming account numbers enter four digits.
When programming a 3-digit account number the fourth
digit must be programmed as a plain ‘0’ which will act as
a filler digit.
If an account number has a ‘0’ in it, substitute a Hex digit
‘A’ for the ‘0’. Examples:
• 3-digit account number [123]- program [1230]
• 3-digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4-digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
When programming reporting codes two digits must be
entered. If one digit reporting codes are to be used the sec-
ond digit must be programmed as a ‘0’. If a ‘0’ is to be
transmitted substitute a Hex digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’. Examples:
• 1-digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
• 2-digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the
reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
NOTE: This communication format cannot be selected
if Downlook is required.
Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate
information quickly using tones rather than pulses. In
addition to sending information more quickly the format
also allows more information to be sent. For example,
rather than reporting an alarm zone 1 the Contact ID for-
mat can also report the type of alarm, such as Entry/Exit
alarm zone 1.
If Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes is
selected, the panel will automatically generate a reporting
code for each event. These identifiers are listed in Appen-
dix A. If the Automatic Contact ID option is not selected,
reporting codes must be programmed. The 2-digit entry
determines the type of alarm. The panel will automati-
cally generate all other information, including the zone
number.
NOTE: If the Automatic Contact ID option is selected,
the panel will automatically generate all zone and
access code numbers, eliminating the need to program
these items.
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and
Zone Fault events will not be identified when Pro-
grammed Contact ID is used.
If the Contact ID Uses Automatic Reporting Codes
option is enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
• If an event’s reporting code is programmed as [00], the
panel will not attempt to call the central station.
• If the reporting code for an event is programmed as
anything from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically
generate the zone or access code number. See Appen-
dix A for a list of the codes which will be transmitted.
If the Contact ID Uses Programmed Reporting Codes
option is enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
• If an event’s reporting code is programmed as [00] or
[FF], the panel will not attempt to call central station.
• If the reporting code for an event is programmed as
anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the pro-
grammed reporting code.
• Account numbers must be four digits.
• If the digit 0 is in the account number substitute the
Hex digit A for the 0.
• All reporting codes must be two digits.
• If the digit 0 is in the reporting code substitute the Hex
digit A for the 0.
• To prevent the panel from reporting an event program
the reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
NOTE: This communication format cannot be selected
if Downlook is required.

Reporting Codes
• SIA - 0 is valid in account or reporting code (not 00 in a
reporting code though)
• ADEMCO Contact ID - 0 is not valid in account or
reporting code (A must be used, 10 in checksum)
• BPS Formats - 0 is not valid in account or reporting
code (A must be used)
• SIA - This format uses 300 Baud FSK as the communi-
cation medium. The account code can be 4 or 6 hexa-
decimal digits in length, all reporting codes must be 2-
digits in length. The SIA format will transmit a 4- (or 6-
digit account code, a 2-digit identifier code and a 2
digit reporting code. The 2-digit identifier is pre-pro-
grammed by the panel.
Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When the TLM Enable option is selected, the panel will
supervise the telephone line and will indicate a Trouble
condition if the telephone line is disconnected.
If the TLM Enable option is ON, the panel will check the
telephone line every 10 seconds. If the telephone line volt-
age is below 3V for the number of checks programmed in
the TLM Trouble Delay section, the panel will report a
TLM Trouble. The default number of checks is 3. Enter a
number from (000) to (255) in the TLM Trouble Delay sec-
tion to change the number of checks before the TLM Trou-
ble is reported. Programming a delay means that a
momentary interruption of the telephone line will not
cause a Trouble condition.
If the TLM Trouble Beeps When Armed option is
enabled, the panel will indicate a TLM Trouble at the key-
pad while the system is armed. To activate the bell output
in the case of a TLM Trouble while the system is armed,
the TLM Audible (Bell) When Armed option must be
selected.
When the Trouble condition is restored, the panel can
send a TLM Restoral reporting code. Any events which
occur while the telephone line is down will also be com-
municated.
If the LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator, or LINKS2X50
is being used, the panel can be programmed to report a
TLM Trouble reporting code.
[351]-[376] - Communicator Call Directions
For events from each Call Direction group the control
panel can call 2 different phone numbers and use the
LINKS as backup or as a redundant communicator for
one or both numbers. The third phone number can only
be used as a backup or alternate to the first.
Each report falls under one of the following 5 Groups:
1. Partition X Alarms & Restorals
2. Partition X Openings & Closings
3. Partition X Tampers & Restores
4. System Maintenance Alarms & Restorals
5. System Test Transmissions
Each group can be assigned to the following Call Direc-
tions
1. Option 1 - 1st Telephone Number (and 3rd Telephone
Number if enabled for alternate or backup)
2. Option 2 - 2nd Telephone Number
3. Option 3 - 1st Telephone Number via LINKS (and 3rd
Telephone Number if enabled for alternate or backup)
4. Option 4 - 2nd Telephone Number via LINKS
5. Option 5 - Alternate Communicator. This allows the
panel to have control of what types of events the
LINKS2X50 products will communicate. This Call Direc-
tion is enabled at default.
[377] - COMMUNICATION VARIABLES
Swinger Shutdown (Alarms & Restores)
This value defines the number of attempts (alarm and restoral pairs) per zone that the communicator will make before it shuts down for that zone (’swinger
shutdown’). Program 001 or 002 in this entry. When programmed as 000, the communicator will shut down after 2 Alarm/Restoral pairs.
Different limits can be programmed for Zone Alarms, Zone Tampers and Maintenance signals. After the panel has communicated the programmed number
of transmissions for an event it will no longer report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset. For example, the swinger shutdown limit for Zone Alarms is
set to [001]. The panel will not send more than 1 alarm signal for each zone with a swinger attribute until the swinger shutdown is reset.
The Bell output will not be activated for alarms on zones that have exceeded the limit of alarms set in the Swinger Shutdown counter. Swinger shutdown on
global zones will log once to the System Area.
NOTE: Swinger Shutdown will reset on all partitions when any partition on the system is armed, or every day at midnight. Once reset, the panel
will again communicate normally
NOTE: The Bell and event buffer can follow Swinger Shutdown if enabled.
Swinger Shutdown (Tampers & Restorals)
This value defines the number of times the same system Tamper type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Valid entries are 000 to 014.
Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restorals)
This value defines the number of times the same system Maintenance (Trouble) type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Fire Troubles will follow the
Maintenance Swinger Shutdown Variable. Swinger Shutdown is enabled on Zone Types [01]-[06] and [25] on all panels by default, and on all definitions. Valid
entries are 000 to 014.
Communication Delay (Seconds)
This value defines the delay before transmission. The delay is for zones which have the Transmission Delay attribute enabled. Program a time from 015 to 045
seconds. This communications transmission delay will be by partition. Each partition will share the same active timer, so if the delay is already active due to an
alarm on a different partition, then any new activity on yet another partition will not restart the communications delay timer.
NOTE: If global zones are used with communications delay, then to stop all alarms from being sent when the communications delay expires,
access codes must be entered on all partitions that went in alarm from that global zone.
NOTE: If transmission delay starts on one partition, other partitions cannot cancel it. If transmission delay is active on more than one partition,
and a code is entered on one of them, that partition’s transmission delay will be cancelled.
NOTE: For UL installations the entry delay plus communication delay cannot exceed 60 seconds.
Refer to Zone Attributes Section [101]-[164], Option [7]
AC Failure Communication Delay (Minutes/Hours)
This value determines the delay before an AC Failure or AC Restoral is reported. The AC failure or restoral is still displayed immediately. Valid entries are from
000 to 255 minutes/hours.
NOTE: Selection of minutes or hours for the delay is set in section [382], Option 6.
NOTE: If AC Failure Communications Delay is programmed as 000, the AC Failure Trouble reporting code will be sent immediately*.
TLM Trouble Delay
The number of valid checks (10 second interval) required before a Telephone Line Trouble is generated is programmed here. Valid entries are 000-255 for Trou-
ble annunciation and transmission (LINKS) delays of 10 to 2550 Seconds (42.5 Minutes).
*NOTE: Do not use this section for central & remote fire applications
Programming Sections: 5.6 Communicator Programming PWS Sect6

[378] - Test Transmission Time of Day
Program the time of the test transmission in this section.
Enter a 4-digit time using the 24-hr clock format
(HH:MM). Valid entries are from 00 to 23 for the hours
(HH) and 00 to 59 for the minutes (MM).
To disable the test transmission, enter [9999] in this sec-
tion.
NOTE: Do NOT enter [9999] for Central & Remote Fire
applications.
Test Transmission Cycle (Land Line)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the Land Line. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. Whether this interval is in
minutes or days is determined on Section [702], Option 3.
NOTE: Enter [001] for PC5020CF Commercial Fire panel. For Commercial Fire applications enter 001.
Test Transmission Cycle (LINKS1000)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the LINKS1000. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. The period is in days or hours. This applies to
Land-line and LINKS Test Transmissions, and for minutes and hours for the Land-line (LINKS only uses Hours).
NOTE: When a new value is programmed (locally or remotely), the panel will transmit a Test transmission when the next Test Transmission Time
is reached. The panel will then load in the new value, and continue the cycle based on this new value. This informs the Installer/Central to expect
the next Test Transmission when the cycle has been changed.
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay (Days)
When a zone reports a low battery condition, the Trouble condition will be indicated immediately on the keypad, but the transmission to the monitoring station
will be delayed by the number of days programmed in this section. If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the low bat-
tery condition will be transmitted. The Low Battery Restoral transmission is not delayed.
NOTE: The panel will not send additional low battery events until the first low battery Trouble is restored.
Delinquency Transmission Delay
The value in this section determines the period of time that the Delinquency Event will be postponed until it is logged to the event buffer and transmitted.
Whether this value is in hours or days is determined if Delinquency is for Activity (hours) or Closing (days) as specified in Section [380] Option 8.
The timer starts under the following conditions:
• When the system is armed in the Stay mode
• When the system is disarmed
• When a zone is violated and restored while the system is disarmed/Stay armed (Interior, Interior Delay, Interior Stay/Away, or Delay
Stay/Away zones only).
The activity delinquency timer will be ignored when the system is armed in the Away mode. Zones that are bypassed in the [*][1] Bypass
menu will not reset the timer.
If the system is programmed to monitor Closing Delinquency, the timer will be programmed in days. The timer will restart every time the
system is disarmed.
Activity/Closing Delinquency section [380], option [8].
Communications Cancel Window
After TX Delay expires and a zone alarm has been transmitted, the Cancel window will begin. If an access code is entered during this window, a Communica-
tions Cancel reporting code will be communicated. If the window expires without an access code entered or a code is entered after the window, no Opening
After Alarm log or communication will occur. The system keypads will provide an audible confirmation that the opening after alarm log was successfully com-
municated (5 quick beeps).
[377] - COMMUNICATION VARIABLES

1 Communications ON Communicator Enabled. The system’s communicator will be enabled and all events with
reporting codes will be reported to the monitoring station. Refer to the Telephone Number,
reporting code and Call Direction Programming Sections.
OFF Communicator Disabled. The system’s communicator will be shut off and events will not be
transmitted to the monitoring station. Downloading may still be performed if enabled.
2 Restore Transmission ON Restore Transmissions on Bell Time-out. Zone restoral reporting codes will not be transmit-
ted until the zone has been restored and the Bell time-out has expired. If the zone is not
restored when the bell time-out expires, the restoral will be transmitted when the zone physi-
cally restores or when the system is disarmed.
NOTE: 24-hr zones will not restore until the zone is physically restored.
OFF Restore Transmissions Follow Zones. Zone restoral reporting codes will be transmitted when
the zone is physically restored. If the zones are still active when the system is disarmed, the
restore codes will be transmitted when the system is disarmed.
NOTE: 24-hr zones will not restore until the zone is physically restored.
3 Dialing Method ON Pulse Dialing enabled. The control panel will dial telephone numbers using pulse (rotary) dialing.
OFF DTMF Dialing enabled. The control panel will dial telephone numbers using DTMF (dual tone
multi-frequency) dialing.
4 Switch to Pulse Dialing ON Switch to Pulse Dialing after 4 DTMF attempts. If DTMF dialing is enabled, the control panel
will dial telephone numbers using DTMF dialing for the first 4 attempts. If unsuccessful, the con-
trol panel will switch to pulse (rotary) dialing for the remaining attempts.
OFF DTMF Dial for all Attempts. If DTMF dialing is enabled, the control panel will dial telephone
numbers using DTMF dialing for all dialing attempts.
5 3rd Phone Number Enable ON 3rd Phone Number Enabled. The 3rd Phone number will be used for Alternate Dialing with
the 1st phone number or as a backup of the 1st phone number (see light 6).
OFF 3rd Phone Number Disabled. The 3rd Phone number will not be used.
6 3rd Phone Number ON Alternate Dialing Enabled (1st & 3rd). After each dialing attempt, the communicator
switches between the 1st phone number and 3rd phone number.
OFF Call 1st Number, Backup to 3rd Number. If the programmed number of attempts to commu-
nicate to the First Telephone Number fail, the same number of attempts will be made to com-
municate to the Third Telephone Number. If all attempts to communicate to the Third Telephone
Number fail, a Failure to Communicate Trouble will be generated.
38
7 LINKS Dialing ON Call LINKS as well as Land Line(s). The control panel will dial the programmed number of
attempts through the LINKS, followed by the number of programmed attempts over the land-
line regardless of whether the communication over the LINKS was successful.
OFF LINKS is backup of Land Line(s). The control panel will dial through the LINKS if the panel is
having difficulty communicating over the phone line. For each failed attempt to the land line,
one attempt will be made to the LINKS1000.
8 Delinquency ON Delinquency Follows Zone Activity (Activity Delinquency). This feature assists in the mon-
itoring of the elderly and the handicapped. If there is no zone activity on a partition, the Delin-
quency Transmission Delay timer in Section [370] will begin counting in hours. When the
counter reaches the programmed time, the panel will communicate the Delinquency Code to
the central station, if programmed. If there is zone activity present on the system at any time,
the counter will be reset. If this option is used, the Closing Delinquency option is not available.
NOTE: This code will not be transmitted for partitions that are Away armed. Activity
on bypassed zones does not affect this timer. The timer is reset on arming.
OFF Delinquency Follows Arming (Closing Delinquency). This reporting code is sent whenever
the programmed number of days for Delinquency has expired without the partition being
armed. The timer for this feature is programmed in Section [370]. The value programmed in this
section determines the number of days of no-arming the partition counts before sending the
Delinquency reporting code to the central station. Once this code is sent, the timer will not be
started again until the partition has been armed. Each day programmed in the counter repre-
sents one day PLUS the time it takes for the partition to reach midnight. This feature may be dis-
abled by programming 000 in Section [370].

[390]-[393] LINKS Preambles
Downloading can be performed through the LINKS1000
cellular communicator if the telephone line is discon-
nected. If using the LINKS1000 with Call Back, you need
to program the LINKS1000 Preamble with the download-
ing telephone number in order for the panel to call the
computer correctly.
LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator
The LINKS1000 cellular communicator can be used three
different 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 (the
panel will call both the land line and via the LINKS1000).
A LINKS1000 Preamble is programmable for each tele-
phone number in the event that the land line number is
local but the LINKS1000 is required to dial an exchange.
When programming a LINKS1000 Preamble, all unused
digits must be programmed with a Hex decimal ’F’.
Sole Communicator
The panel can be programmed to report only using the
LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event occurs.
To program this select only the LINKS1000 for the Com-
municator Call Direction Options for the event. In addi-
tion the Call LINKS1000 as well as Land Line option
must also be enabled. When the selected event occurs the
panel will only attempt to call the central station using
the LINKS1000.
NOTE: If a LINKS1000-only event fails to communicate,
the LINKS1000 must successfully communicate a
LINKS1000-only event in order for the FTC Trouble to
clear.
Backup Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the
LINKS1000 cellular communicator if the panel is having
difficulty communicating an event using the land line. To
program this select the telephone number and
LINKS1000 options for the Communicator Call Direction
Options for the event. The LINKS1000 is backup of Land
Lines option must also 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 unsuc-
cessful the panel will try to call using the LINKS1000
• if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the land
lines
• if unsuccessful the panel will try to call using the
LINKS1000
This process will continue until the panel has successfully
communicated with the central station or the Maximum
Dialing Attempts has been reached.
Redundant Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the land line
and the LINKS1000 cellular communicator when an event
occurs. To program this select both the telephone number
and the LINKS1000 options for the Communicator Call
Direction Options for the event. In addition the Call
LINKS1000 as well as Land Line option must be
selected. The panel will call the LINKS1000 and then call
the land line when reporting the selected event.
LINKS1000 Special Preamble*
In some areas of North America, dialing #DAT or *DATA
reduces the cellular billing increment. The LINKS1000 Spe-
cial Preamble (section [393]), allows the use of [*] and [#]
characters for the programming of #DAT and *DATA. The
LINKS1000 Special Preamble is sent BEFORE the Preamble
programmed in Sections [390] to [392]. Example: [Special
Preamble][Regular Preamble][Telephone Number].
NOTE: If this Special Preamble is programmed, it will be
inserted before the Regular Preamble of ALL telephone
numbers. Hex digits D and E are not supported for Pre-
amble programming. If Busy Tone Detection is enabled,
the LINKS1000 must be tested to ensure full operation.
Refer to the LINKS1000 Installation Manual for more infor-
mation and connection diagrams.

5.7 Downloading Options PWS Sect 7
Downloading
Downloading allows programming of the entire control
panel via a computer, modem and telephone line. All
functions and features, changes and status, such as Trou-
ble conditions and open zones can be viewed or pro-
grammed by downloading.
NOTE: When power is applied to the panel, a 6-hour
downloading window can be enabled. This will allow
you to perform downloading without having to do
any keypad programming.
NOTE: When an event occurs that the system is pro-
grammed to communicate to the central station, the
panel will disconnect from the downloading computer
and report the event. This will happen for all events
except test transmissions.
If the Answering Machine/Double Call option is enabled
(or during the first 6 hours after power up) the panel will
answer incoming calls for downloading provided the fol-
lowing conditions occur:
1. The panel hears one or two rings, then misses a ring.
2. At this point the panel will start a timer.
3. If the panel hears another ring before the Answering
Machine Double Call Timer expires it will answer on
the first ring of the second call.

PGM output attributes and output type must be pro-
grammed for each PGM output. PGM output options [09]
System Trouble and [10] Latched System Event have a
unique set of attributes listed below the description of
each output type.
PGM attributes return to their default settings when PGM
output options are changed. See the Programming Work-
sheets for a list of the default settings for each PGM output
type.
CAUTION: Select the normal and active states of each PGM
output to ensure that undesirable output states do not occur
after a loss and restoral of AC power.
If you program more than one PGM output as the same
output type (e.g., If PGM 1 and PGM 2 are both pro-
grammed as [19] Command Output 1), the settings for out-
put attributes [1], [2] and [5] must be the same. This does
not apply to outputs programmed as types [09] and [10].
NOTE: Attribute [3] must be ON for PGM output
option [16].

[700] - Automatic Clock Adjust
The value entered here adds or subtracts seconds at the
end of each day to compensate for crystal/ceramic reso-
nator inaccuracies. Valid entries are 00-99 with 60 seconds
being the default minute. To determine the value to be
programmed in this section perform the following:
• Monitor the time lost by the panel over a period of time.
• Calculate the average amount of time per day that the
panel gains or loses.
• Add or subtract this value (seconds) from 60 and enter
the value.
Example: panel loses an average of 9 seconds per day.

Section 7: Fire Monitoring Zone Types
This section explains all Fire monitoring zones that can be programmed on the PC5020CF and PC5700 fire module. Fire moni-
toring zone programming is the same as burglary zone programming. Instructions on zone programming are located in the P-
8+ Installation Manual, see Partitions and Zones.
NOTE: 2-wire smoke detectors can only be connected to the dedicated 2-wire smoke zone on the PC5020CF, PGM2 and Aux+
terminals.
7.1 Partitions and Fire System Configuration
A fire system within a single building must not be parti-
tioned in such a way that audible or visual alarm notifica-
tion appliances would operate in one partition and not
another.
Even though the system can be partitioned for security
control purposes, any fire zone on any partition in the
building must activate all fire monitoring zones in all sys-
tem partitions.
The P-8+ CF provides two methods for achieving these
results.
Fire Configuration 1
• Assign all fire monitoring zones to one partition.
• Assign at least one keypad to the same partition as the
fire monitoring zones.
• Other types of zones can also be assigned to this parti-
tion without affecting the fire operation as described
below.
Operation
The waterflow and any fire monitoring zones on the
PC5700 module will show, in the auto-scroll mode, on all
partition and global keypads. If a zone on the PC5700 is in
alarm, then fire silence and reset can be done from any
partition keypad.
If the alarm is from a partition zone then fire alarm silence
and reset can only be done directly on the fire partition
keypad(s). To silence from other partition keypads or a
global keypad requires that the keypad be loaned to the
fire partition.
Fire Configuration 2 (Recommended)
• Assign ALL fire zones to ALL active partitions in the
system. Do not program fire zones as ‘silent’.
• One or more keypads can be located on any partition.
Operation
On alarm, the auto-scroll display will show on all parti-
tion keypads.
Fire alarm silence and fire system reset may be done
directly on any partition keypad. To silence from a global
keypad requires that the global keypad be loaned to one
of the partitions.
NOTE: Assign command output 2 (sensor reset) to all
partitions.
7.2 Fire Zones
All zones can be programmed as Fire Monitoring zones.
This zone is always an end of line resistor type with nor-
mally open alarm contacts from the alarm initiating
device(s). Multiple devices can be connected in parallel
on a single zone.
The zone wiring is supervised by the control panel for:
• Short Circuit: Fire Alarm
• Open Circuit: loss of the end of line resistor; this will be
indicated as a Zone Trouble
• Ground Fault: resistance < 40kΩ to earth ground indi-
cated as a Ground Fault Trouble on PC5700 zone 7
Typical Fire Devices used on this zone type are:
• Heat Detectors – fixed temperature and/or rate-of-rise
• Fire alarm panel outputs such as Alarms and Troubles
• Manual pull stations
• 4-wire smoke detectors
Standard Fire Operation
When a Fire Monitoring zone goes into alarm, the panel
will activate the alarm notification output(s) and will
immediately transmit a reporting code to the central sta-
tion, if programmed. The alarm notification output(s) can
be programmed to pulse—one second on, one second
off—or to follow another programmed alarm notification
pattern (see Section 5.3, ‘Basic Programming’, [005] Sys-
tem Times). If an open condition is present, the panel will
immediately display and communicate a Trouble condi-
tion. All keypads will annunciate the Trouble by activating
the Trouble light and beeping twice every ten seconds. The
keypads can be silenced by pressing any key.
7.3 Auto Verify Fire
All zones can be programmed as Auto Verify Fire zones.
For zones on the main panel or zone expanders, this zone is
always an end of line resistor type with Normally Open
alarm contacts from the alarm initiating device(s). Multiple
devices can be connected on a single zone.
The zone wiring is supervised by the control panel for:
• Short Circuit: Fire Alarm
• Open Circuit: loss of the end of line resistor; this will
be indicated as a Zone Trouble
• Ground Fault: resistance < 40kΩ to earth ground indi-
cated as a Common Ground Fault Trouble.
NOTE: This zone type is only for smoke detectors that
can be reset by the control panel. Do not mix contact
type alarm-initiating devices on zones programmed for
Auto Verify Fire. The following device can be used:
•4-wire smoke detectors powered from the AUX+
output on the P-8+CF main board
7.4 Waterflow Zone
This type is a Contact Input Fire Zone and is always an
end of line resistor type with normally open alarm con-
tacts from the initiating device(s) when used on the
PC5020CF (zones 1-8) or zone expander on-board zones.
A maximum of five waterflow contacts can be connected
in parallel on a single waterflow zone.
The zone wiring is supervised by the control panel for:
• Short Circuit: Fire Alarm
• Open Circuit: loss of the end of line resistor and will be
indicated as a Zone Trouble
• Ground Fault: resistance < 40kΩ to earth ground indi-
cated as a Common Ground Fault Trouble.
Typical alarm initiating devices used on this zone type are
waterflow switches for fire suppression sprinklers
NOTE: For this type of zone, only waterflow alarm-ini-
tiating devices can be connected. A maximum of five
(5) waterflow alarm-initiating devices is allowed per
zone (Ref: NFPA 72 / 5-6 and 3.8.5).
48
7.5 PC5700 Zones
PC5700 Waterflow
The waterflow zones on the PC5700 are hardcoded for
waterflow operation and cannot be reprogrammed.
If waterflow zones are used on the PC5020CF, the PC5700
waterflow zone must be used. This zone is a normally
closed loop between A+ and A- and B+ and B- (class A)
with normally open alarm contacts from the waterflow
alarm-initiating devices. As per NFPA, only five water-
flow initiating devices may be connected to a single zone.
The zone wiring is supervised by the control panel for:
• Short Circuit: Fire Alarm
• Open Circuit: If either the A or B loop is open, this will
be indicated as a Zone Trouble (zone fault)
• Ground Fault: resistance < 40kΩ to earth ground indi-
cated as a Common Ground Fault Trouble.
7.6 Four-Wire Smoke Detector Zones
All zones (except for waterflow zones) can be pro-
grammed for 4-wire smoke detectors. It is always an end
of line resistor type with normally open alarm contacts
from the fire alarm-initiating devices. Multiple contacts
can be connected in parallel on a single zone.
For commercial applications, zones used for 4-wire
smoke detectors can be programmed as Standard Fire.
For residential applications, the zone can be programmed
as Standard Fire.
Power for the 4-wire smoke detectors can be derived from
the auxiliary (AUX+) output on the P-8+ CF main panel.
This detector may be connected to any PGM 1-4. The
PGM must be programmed as Sensor Reset (see Program-
ming Worksheets). PGM2 can either be programmed for a
2-wire smoke detector or a 4-wire smoke detector, but
both detectors cannot be programmed concurrently on
PGM2. For a wiring diagram, see Appendix B-6 ‘Sensor
Reset for 4-Wire Smoke Detectors’.
7.7 Two-Wire Smoke Detector Zones
PGM2 can be programmed for 2-wire smoke detectors.
More than one smoke detector can be connected in paral-
lel, refer to the Compatability Chart in this manual for
details (see section 6.3). For installations of these devices,
refer to wiring diagram B.1, see Appendix B. PGM2 must
be programmed for 2-wire smoke support (PGM2 only)
Option[4]. Refer to the PC5020 CF Programming Work-
sheets, ‘Programmable Output Options’.
7.8 Fire Supervisory Zone
This zone is always an end of line resistor type with nor-
mally open alarm contacts from the Fire Supervisory initi-
ating devices. A maximum of 20 Fire Supervisory devices
can be connected in parallel on a single zone. The zone
wiring is supervised by the control panel for:
• Short Circuit - Supervisory off-normal
• Open Circuit - loss of the end of line resistor; this will
be indicated as a Zone Trouble
A Fire Supervisory zone monitors fire critical systems to
indicate when those systems are in a condition that could
prevent normal operation. These most commonly moni-
tored devices are sprinkler gate valves to ensure they are
not closed, which would prevent water from flowing to
the sprinklers.
49
Section 8: Fire System Operation
8.1 Manual Signal Silence
Once the panel is in alarm and the alarm notification
appliances are active, entering a valid user code will
silence the alarm signals.
Silencing will not deactivate any output programmed as
Fire Strobe.
Manual Silencing initiates a Trouble condition by turning on
the keypad Trouble LED and sounding the keypad buzzer.
The buzzer may be silenced by entering an access code.
If a waterflow alarm is present on the system silencing
will not be possible. Instead, the system will announce,
‘Silence Inhibit, Waterflow Alarm’. All waterflow zones
must be secured before the system can be silenced.
8.2 Automatic Signal Silence (Bell Time-out)
Ref: Section[014] Option [8] Fire Bell Follows Time-out
Ref: Section[005] Bell Time-out (default 004 minutes)
The fire alarm notification appliances may be set to
silence automatically after a programmed time. The sys-
tem is default programmed to silence the notification
appliances four minutes after the last initiated fire alarm.
If the Fire Time-out option is disabled, the notification
appliance can only be silenced manually.
The Bell Time-out timer begins upon the first fire alarm.
Each subsequent alarm will restart the timer.
8.3 Manual Sensor Reset ([*][7][2])
The Sensor Reset function is designed so that the user can
manually reset latching smoke detectors by entering
[*][7][2]. In order for this feature to function, the detectors
to be reset must be connected to a programmable output
(PGM1-4, AUX+).
Program the output as ‘Sensor Reset 2’ (PGM output
option #03). The output pulse time is by default set at five
seconds. For instructions on output programming, see
your PC5020CF Installation Manual, Section 5.3 ‘Basic Pro-
gramming’, [009]-[011] Programmable Output Options.
RECOMMENDED: As a security measure, ensure that
a code is required to activate [*][7][2]. This will
require that a user enter a valid access code after
entering [*][7][2] in order to reset smoke detectors.
8.4 Subsequent Alarm Operation
If the alarm notification appliances have been silenced –
manually or automatically – and a subsequent fire alarm
is initiated, the following will occur:
• Audible and visual notification appliances will acti-
vate as programmed.
• The Bell Time-out, if used, will restart for a full timing
period before automatic silencing.
• The new alarm and all previous alarms/troubles will
be displayed.
If a subsequent Fire alarm is initiated before the alarm
notification appliances have been silenced, either manu-
ally or automatically, then the following will occur:
• The Bell Time-out, if used, will restart for a full timing
period before automatic silencing.
• The new alarm will be shown.
8.5 Auto-Scroll LCD Keypad Display
When an alarm is initiated, the Alarm and selected Trou-
ble conditions will be displayed on the system LCD key-
pad(s). If there is more than one Alarm or Trouble present
simultaneously, the keypad will continuously scroll
through each event. Items on the scroll list are displayed
at two-second intervals. The keypad will beep as each
message is displayed.
Although critical Troubles are displayed, Auto-scroll is only
initiated upon a Fire Alarm. If a Fire Trouble is detected and
a Fire Alarm is not present, the Trouble will be indicated as
any other system trouble; the keypad Trouble light will turn
on and the keypad buzzer will beep.
The following events are included in the Auto-scroll.
•’Fire Alarm [Zone Label]’: This message will appear for
all Fire Alarms. Messages are displayed sequentially by
zone number.
•’Fire Trouble [Zone Label]’: This message will appear
for Fire off-normal conditions only and the keypad
buzzer will beep once as it is displayed. Messages are
displayed sequentially by zone number.
•’Bell CCT Trouble’: This message will appear if an
open fault is detected on the PC5020CF bell zone.
•’Failure to Communicate’: This message will appear
when the panel cannot report to the central station.
Auto-scroll will stop when a valid user code is entered to
silence the alarm notification appliances.
8.6 Fire Trouble Conditions
In all cases, when the panel detects a Trouble condition, the
keypad Trouble light turns on and the keypad buzzer will
sound two short beeps every 10 seconds. Pressing any key
will silence the audible Trouble signal. The Trouble buzzer
will resound if another Trouble is generated.
Fire Zone Trouble
A fire zone Trouble will be generated when an open cir-
cuit is detected on any fire zone.
AC Trouble
An AC Fail Trouble is generated if the AC fails on the P-
8+CF. AC Troubles are grouped for common indication
on a remote annunciator as an ‘AC Trouble’.
See also Section 5.6 ‘Communicator Programming’, [377]’
Communication Variables.
Battery Trouble
A battery Trouble is generated if the PC5020CF/PS5350
panel batteries are open or shorted. This Trouble condi-
tion only turns on the keypad Trouble light and sounds
the keypad buzzer.
Ground Fault
Ground fault detection must be enabled for Commercial
Fire Monitoring installations by connecting the EGND
terminal on the PC5020CF to a solid earth ground. Upon
detection of a resistance of <40kΩ between any extended
conductor and earth ground, a Ground Fault Trouble will
be generated via zone 7 of the PC5700 (see Installation
Instructions for PC5700 fire module v2.0).
50
TLM Troubles
If the PC5700 module detects a TLM Trouble on telephone
line 1 or 2, Zone 8 on the PC5700 will be violated auto-
matically. The panel can only monitor both telephone
lines if a PC5700 is connected.
NOTE: TLM Trouble monitoring should not be disabled.
Fail To Communicate (FTC)
If the control panel is unable to report to the central sta-
tion, an FTC Trouble will be generated and the message
’Failure to Communicate’ will be added to the Troubles
list to advise the user that the central station may not
have received the communication about the current alarm
status.
8.7 AC Delays
AC Fail TX Delay
AC Fail TX Delay -UL Requirement
If the AC Fail TX Delay is programmed, the panel will
delay reporting the AC Trouble to the central station for
the programmed time.
NOTE: For 24-hr battery backup (14Ah battery) pro-
gram AC Fail Transmission Delay for 6 hours. For 60
hour battery backup (60ah battery) program AC Fail
Transmission Delay for 15 hours.
See section 5.6 ’Communicator Programming’, [377]
Communication Variables.
8.8 Fire Reporting Codes
The following reporting codes should be programmed on
every PC5020CF system:
Fire Events
2-wire Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when a 2-
wire smoke zone alarm occurs. The 2-wire smoke zone
acts as a standard fire zone. The 2-wire Alarm Restoral
reporting code will be sent when the alarm condition is
restored.
Waterflow Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when
a waterflow zone alarm occurs. The Waterflow Restoral
reporting code will be sent when the alarm condition is
restored.
2-wire Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when
the 2-wire smoke detector zone has a trouble (open) con-
dition. The 2-wire Trouble Restoral reporting code will be
sent when the condition has restored.
Waterflow Trouble – This reporting code will be sent
when the waterflow detector zone has a Trouble condi-
tion. The waterflow Trouble Restoral reporting code will
be sent when the condition has restored.
[F] Key
The panel will transmit a Keypad Fire Alarm reporting
code and the Keypad Fire Restoral reporting code when
the Fire Keys on any keypad are pressed for two seconds.
NOTE: For commercial applications, do not program
the [F] key for keypads that are readily accessible by
the public. For more information regarding this key,
see the PC5020CF Installation Manual Section 5.3,
‘Basic Programming’, [015] Third System Option
Codes, Option [1].
System Maintenance
Panel Battery Trouble – This code will be sent when the
control panel battery is low, disconnected or if the battery
fuse fails. The Battery Trouble Restoral reporting code
will be sent when the condition is cleared.
Panel AC Trouble – This code will be sent when the AC
power to the control panel is disconnected or interrupted.
To prevent communicating the trouble in the event of
short power failures, the code will not be sent until the
AC Failure Communication Delay has expired. When the
Trouble is restored, the AC Line Trouble Restoral report-
ing code will be sent.
Panel Bell Trouble – This code will be sent when a bell
Trouble occurs. This is when an open circuit is detected
across the bell terminals. When the Trouble condition is
restored, the Main Bell Trouble Restoral reporting code
will be transmitted.
Panel AUX Trouble – This code will be sent when an aux-
iliary voltage supply Trouble occurs. When the voltage
supply is restored, the Main Auxiliary Trouble Restoral
code will be sent.
GND Fault Trouble – This reporting code will be sent
when the earth ground connection detects a ground fault.
The Ground Fault Restoral reporting code will be sent
when the earth ground fault connection is restored.
NOTE: The PC5020CF EGND terminal must not be con-
nected to the key ground. Connecting earth ground to
the key ground will interfere with system performance
and generate a Ground Fault Trouble.
Periodic Test – This is the reporting code that is sent to the
monitoring station to test communications (see PC5020CF
Installation Manual, section 5.6, ‘Communicator Program-
ming’, [377] Communication Variables).
Periodic Test TBL – This test transmission code is sent
instead of a Periodic Test Transmission if any of the fol-
lowing conditions occur:
• Common Fire Trouble
• Fire Zone Alarm (all zones)
• Fire Alarm (5700)
• Fire Zone Trouble (all zones)
• Fire Zone(s) Bypassed
• AUX Trouble (main panel)
• Key Low Power
• Module Supervisory Fault
• [F] Key Alarm

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the side of
this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC
registration number of this equipment.
Notification to Telephone Company The customer shall notify the tele-
phone company of the particular line to which the connection will be
made, and provide the FCC registration number and the ringer equiva-
lence of the protective circuit.
FCC Registration Number: F53CAN-34330-AL-E
Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1B
USOC Jack: RJ31X
Telephone Connection Requirements Except for the telephone company
provided ringers, all connections to the telephone network shall be made
through standard plugs and telephone company provided jacks, or equiva-
lent, in such a manner as to allow for easy, immediate disconnection of the ter-
minal equipment. Standard jacks shall be so arranged that, if the plug
connected thereto is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equip-
ment at the customer’s premises which remains connected to the telephone
network shall occur by reason of such withdrawal.
Incidence of Harm Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practica-
ble, notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be
required; however, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone com-
pany may temporarily discontinue service if such action is deemed reason-
able in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company shall promptly notify the customer and will be given the
opportunity to correct the situation.
Additional Telephone Company Information The security control panel
must be properly connected to the telephone line with a USOC RJ-31X tele-
phone jack.
The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to
party lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Intercon-
nect rules may vary from state to state.
Changes in Telephone Company Equipment or Facilities The telephone
company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required and
proper in its business. Should any such changes render the customer’s termi-
nal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities the cus-
tomer shall be given adequate notice to the effect modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) The REN is useful to determine the
quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have
all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may
connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company.
Equipment Maintenance Facility If you experience trouble with this tele-
phone equipment, contact the facility indicated below for information on
obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you dis-
connect this equipment from the network until the problem has been cor-
rected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de
protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunica-
tions. Industrie Canada n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera
à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le
raccorder aux installations de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le
matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la con-
formité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la dégrada-
tion du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un cen-
tre d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie
de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un
appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utili-
sateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de
mise à la terre de la source d’énergie électrique, les lignes téléphoniques
et les canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble.
Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccorde-
ments lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service d’inspection des installa-
tions électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
L’indice de charge (IC) assigné a chaque dispositif terminal indique, pour
éviter toute surcharge, le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être rac-
cordée à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La termi-
naison du circuit bouclé peut être constituée de n’importe quelle
combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge
de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.
L’Indice de charge de ce produit est 0.1B.
