PROGRAMMING
THE PC4010
The PC4010 incorporates a new method of programming which uses a menu system to find a specific program location
when it is to be entered.
Book 3 contains the programming flow charts for the PC4010. The charts are arranged in such a way as to allow you to
quickly find any option and the path required to arrive at the program location. In addition you will be able to see other
options also available to you in the program area.
Plain boxes are program areas and shaded boxes are menu selections.
Two methods may be used to select the different menu items to arrive at a program location. With the first, you may use
the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through the menu items. When the desired item is displayed press the [Q] key. The [Q] key
is used as an ‘ENTER’ or ‘SELECT’ key. The panel will then move you to the next set of options.
The other method incorporates a ‘HOTKEY’ system. Every menu and program item contains a one or two digit ‘HOTKEY’
entry. Simply press the number(s) in the menu or program box and the panel will automatically select the item for you.
DO NOT PRESS THE [Q] AFTER ENTERING THE ‘HOTKEY’ NUMBER. This second method is much quicker once you
become familiar with it.
EXAMPLE: We wish to program the Exit Delay for Partition 4. The following is the flow chart located in Book 3.

SYSTEM AREA Scroll to desired option using

(0) the [<][>] keys and press [Q].

Ô
PARTITION AREA ADD / EDIT PAR WHICH PARTITION CUSTOMER ID CODE
þ þ þ
(1) (0) (1) Ô (4) (0)

PAR TOGGLES
þ
(1)

PARTITION TIMES ENTRY DELAY

þ þ
(2) (0)

EXIT DELAY
þ
(1)

Using the first method the arrow keys would have to be pressed many times to scroll to the various items followed by the
[Q] key to select the item. Twelve keystrokes would be required after entering Installer Programming providing no
mistakes are made. The keystrokes required are as follows:
[>], [Q] to select PARTITION AREA [>], [>], [Q] to select PARTITION TIMES
[Q] to select ADD/EDIT PAR [>], [Q] to select EXIT DELAY
[>], [>], [>], [Q]to select to PARTITION 4
Using the second ‘HOTKEY’ method we require only 5 keystrokes:
[1] to select PARTITION AREA [2] to select PARTITION TIMES
[0] to select ADD/EDIT PAR [1] to select EXIT DELAY
[4] to select PARTITION 4
With less keystrokes required, programming is quicker as there is less chance of an error occurring.
At any time you may press the [#] key to exit a section. ANY DATA ENTERED WILL BE CHANGED. THE [#] KEY IS NOT
AN ABORT KEY! The [#] key can also be pressed to move you back to the previous menu. Pressing the [#] key several
times will exit you from Installer Programming.
To make programming easier the INDEX at the back of the Programming Manual includes the chart number beside every
option as well as the page number for a description of the option.
Programming Toggle Options
Some program areas contain several toggle options which pertain to the menu item selected. Use the arrow keys (<>) to
scroll through the various items. Press the [Q] key to toggle between [Y]es and [N]o for each feature. Once all the toggle
options have been programmed press the [#] key to save your changes and return to the previous menu.
Programming HEX Digits
Often HEX digits are required for a program item. When a HEX digit is required press the [Q] key to enter the HEX menu.
You may use the arrow keys to scroll through the HEX digits (A through F) and when the desired letter is displayed press
the [Q] key.
Another much quicker method for entering HEX digits is to, first, press the [Q] key followed by the number corresponding
to the HEX letter i.e. A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, up to F = 6. The [Q] key must be pressed before entering each HEX digit as the
software returns you to decimal programming automatically after each entry.
EXAMPLE: To enter data ‘ABCD’ on a PC4010 you would enter:
[Q], [1], [Q], [2], [Q], [3], [Q], [4]
Note: The [Q] key is required before every HEX digit entered.

PROGRAMMING
MANUAL
The PC4010 Installer’s Programming is broken down into 5 major sections:
System Area For programming options which affect the operation of the entire system. For example communications,
downloading, printer options etc. are options which affect the overall system and are programmed in the system area.
Partition Area For programming options which pertain to individual partitions. For example the zone assignment, entry
delay time and exit delay time are all options which can be programmed for each of the partitions.
Module Hardware For enrolling and deleting modules.
Event Buffer For the installer to reprint the entire event buffer.
Diagnostics For viewing trouble conditions reported by the modules.

 SYSTEM AREA INSTALLER OPTS
INSTALLER
OPTIONS
This section contains the Installer’s Code, Grand Master Code, 2nd Grand Master Code, Walk
INSTALLER OPTS
(00) Test Code and Installer’s Lockout options.

Program Installer’s Code. A new Installer’s Code can be programmed. The default setting is
PGM INST CODE
(0)
‘4010’ for 4 digit option, or ‘401000’ for 6 digit option. Enter a new 4 digit code using numbers
from 0 to 9 only. The installer’s code is used to enter [Q][8] Installer’s Programming Commands.
This code should be changed from the default setting before programming is complete to ensure
the security of the system.
Note: If the installer’s code is lost, and installer’s lockout is enabled, there is no way to
enter installer’s programming. The panel will have to return to DSC. Panels returned to DSC
with the installer’s lockout feature enabled and no other apparent problems will be subject
to an additional service charge.

Program Grand Master Code. Master code 001 is the System Grand Master Code. This is the only
PGM GRAND MASTER
(1)
code which can program other system master codes. The default setting of this code is ‘1234’ for
4 digit option, or ‘123456’ for 6 digit option. This code should be changed from the default setting
once programming is complete to ensure the security of the system.

The Installer may program a second System Grand Master Code which has the same access as
PGM 2ND MAS CODE
(2)
the System Grand Master Code 001. The Second Master Code is not one of the programmable
128 access codes in [Q][5] programming and therefore cannot be changed by the user. This
code may be used as a Master Key for service and trades people. The default setting of this
code is ‘AAAA’ for 4 digit option, or ‘AAAA00’ for 6 digit option.

PGM Walk Test Code allows access to the Walk Test Mode [Q] [6] [Walk Test Code]. The walk
PGM WALK TEST CD
(3)
test mode allows testing of zones that walk test is enabled on.
Each partition to be involved in the walk test must have [Q] [6] [Walk Test Code] entered on one
of its keypads.

Installer’s Lockout prevents the installer’s code and downloading access code from being
INS LOCKOUT OPTS
(4)
returned to their default values when a hardware or software default occurs.
Note: Panels returned to DSC with the installer’s lockout feature enabled and no other
apparent problems will be subject to an additional service charge.

Selecting this section will enable Installer’s Lockout and display the message “Ins Lockout
ENABLE LOCKOUT
(0)
Enabled”.

Selecting this section will disable Installer’s Lockout and display the message “Ins Lockout
DISABLE LOCKOUT
Disabled”.

 SYSTEM AREA EVENT MESSAGES
EVENT
MESSAGES
Event messages are two custom messages programmed by the installer. These messages will be
EVENT MESSAGES
(01) displayed on the keypad when the user fails to arm or an alarm occurs while the system was
armed.

A cursor will appear under the first character of the label. The cursor can be moved to left or right
using the [<][>] keys. The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among the 1-9 number
keys on the keypad.
[1] = A, B, C, 1 [2] = D, E, F, 2 [3] = G, H, I, 3 [4] = J, K, L, 4 [5] = M, N, O, 5
[6] = P, Q, R, 6 [7] = S, T, U, 7 [8] = V, W, X, 8 [9] = Y, Z, 9, 0 [0] = Space

For example, if you press the [4] key, the letter ‘J’ will appear above the cursor on the display.
Press the [4] key again, the letter ‘K’ will appear above the cursor. Press the [4] key a third time
and the letter ‘L’ will appear above the cursor. Press it again and the number ‘4’ will appear on
the display. If a different key is pressed, for example the [6] key, the cursor will automatically
move to the right one space, and the letter ‘P’ will be displayed. To erase a character, move the
cursor under the character using the [<][>] keys, and press the [0] key.

While programming the zone label, press the [Q] key to call up an options menu. To select an
option, either press the corresponding number key, or toggle through the options using the [<][>]
keys and press the [Q] key to select.
[0] Clear Display [1] Clear to End [2] Change Case [3] ASCII Entry (See appendix A)
[4] Save

[0] Clear Display will clear the entire zone label.

[1] Clear to End will clear the display from the character where the cursor was located to the end of
the display.
[2] Change Case will toggle the letter entry between upper case letters (ABC...) and lower case
letters (abc...).
[3] ASCII Entry is for entering uncommon characters. There are 255 characters, but 000 to 031
are not used. Use the [<] [>] keys to toggle through the characters or enter a 3 digit number from
032 to 255. Press the [Q] key to enter the character into the zone label (see Appendix A for the
ASCII characters chart).
[4] Save the label programmed and return to the previous menu.
See [Q][6][Master Code][6] User Functions in the System Manual for enabling these messages
on each partition.

The “System Has Failed To Arm” message will appear on every keypad on a partition when a
FAIL TO ARM
valid code is entered but the system is unable to arm because a zone is not secure.
(0)
The message will clear after 5 seconds.
This message can be used to remind the user to check all zones and make sure they are secure
before attempting to arm the system.

The “Alarm Occurred While Armed” message appears when a partition is disarmed after an alarm
ALARM WHEN ARMED
has occurred. The message will be displayed on all keypads on the partition being disarmed. The
(1)
message will clear after 5 seconds and display the zone(s) that went into alarm.
This message can be used to remind the users of what to do in their situation.

The third message is “Fire Alarm !!! 2 Wire Smoke”, this message will only be displayed if the 2
SMOKE DETECTOR
wire smoke detector on the PC4700 fire module goes into alarm.
(2)

The fourth message is “Fire Alarm !!! Waterflow Sensor”, this message will be displayed if the
WATERFLOW ZONE
waterflow detector on the PC4700 fire module goes into alarm.
(3)
Note: If there is more than one of these fire messages to be displayed at once the messages
will scroll one every three seconds to the next message. Once any fire alarm has been
silenced a message “Fire Bell Has Been Silenced” will be displayed on the partition and
global keypads until the partition is armed.

5
 SYSTEM AREA EVENT MESSAGES

This message will be displayed for the sensor reset option in the [Q] menu. This message will
SENSOR RESET
(4) also be displayed when a sensor reset is performed.

This message will be displayed for the utility output option in the [Q] menu. This message will also
UTILITY OUTPUT
(5)
be displayed when a utility output is performed.

Notes: Since editing this label will affect how the Utility Output and Sensor Reset labels appear on all partitions if
the outputs perform different functions on different partitions the labels should be left at default.
The logs to the viewable and printed event buffer will not use the programmable label. They will continue to log as
“Utility Output” and “Sensor Reset”.

The “Zone Tamper” message will appear on every partition keypad when a zone using double EOL
ZONE TAMPER
(6)
is put into the tamper condition (zone open). The message is displayed while viewing open zones.

The “Zone Fault” message will appear on every partition keypad when a zone using double EOL is
ZONE FAULT
(7)
put into the fault condition (zone shorted). The message is displayed while viewing open zones.

Note: Zone Tamper and Zone Fault sections will only appear when double EOL is being used.

keypad display will show the message “Fail To Arm... DC Trouble”. When an access code
is entered the panel will perform a battery check on the main control panel and on each of
the PC4204’s enrolled on the system. This will ensure that the battery condition is good
before the panel is armed. If the control panel has a battery trouble or any one of the
PC4204’s report back with a battery trouble the arming will be aborted.
No = No forced battery check will be performed and a Battery trouble will not inhibit arming.
Note: The Control panel and each of the PC4204 modules may only have 3 battery trouble
alarms in a 24 hour period. After the third battery trouble for a given module the trouble
condition will “Shutdown” until midnight of that day. The trouble will still be enunciated
with the keypad Trouble LED but the event will not be logged to the event buffer or be
communicated.

alarms when those zones are armed.
When the zone is disarmed the output will follow the zone status. When the zone is
violated the output will activate. When the zone is restored the output will deactivate.
When the zone is armed the output indicates alarm status. The output is not activated
until the zone is violated and then remains active. When the zone is disarmed the
output remains active to indicate which zone caused the alarm. To get the output to
follow the zone status the partition must be armed and disarmed.
NO = Disables the ability to latch alarm status. The output follows zone activity whether armed
or disarmed.

Keypad Lockout Options

Keypad Lockout Options
KYPD LOCKOUT OPT This section contains programming for the keypad lockout feature. After a programmed number
(2) of incorrect attempts to enter an access or installer’s code the keypad will lockout, preventing the
user from performing any function. A message “Keypad Lockout is Active” will be displayed for
the lockout duration. See “KYPD LOCKOUT” under “PAR TOGGLES” to enable the keypad
lockout feature on a partition.
Enter the number of incorrect code entries (from 000 to 255) required to activate keypad lockout
TOTAL BAD CODES if the option is enabled. See “PAR TOGGLES”, “KYPD LOCKOUT” to enable the keypad lockout
(0) feature on a partition. The default setting is 005.
This section determines the number of minutes the keypad lockout will remain active for. Enter the
LOCKOUT DURATION duration of the keypad lockout. Valid entries are from 000 to 255. The default setting is 015.

System Times
They are system times relevant to the whole system.
SYSTEM TIMES
(3)

The zone loop response time is the length of time (005 - 255 x 100 ms) a zone must be violated
ZONE RESPONSE before it is detected. (100 ms = one tenth of a second.) Minimum zone loop response time is 500
(0) ms. The factory default setting is 005 (500 ms).
Program the amount of time (from 000 to 255 minutes) the bell output will activate when an alarm occurs.
BELL CUTOFF
The factory default setting is 004 (4 minutes). Bell Cutoff is for any output (Bell, SW Aux or PGM) that is
(1)
programmed for Fire and Burg, Inv Fire and Burg, Burg Only, Inv Burg Only, Fire Only, and Inv Fire Only.
Program the amount of time (000 - 255 Minutes) before a Police Code Alarm reporting code will
POLICE CODE TIME be sent to the monitoring station. A Police Code Alarm is sent when 2 zone alarms occur within
(2)
the programmed time. Default is 060 minutes.
Whenever a keypad is loaned to another partition, the keypad will return to it’s home partition
KEYPAD TIMEOUT
after the programmed amount of time. (000 - 255 seconds) default = 20 seconds.
(3)

Zone Supervision
ZONE SUPERVISION
(4)

The zone is a normally closed loop to ground. The zone will be violated when it is open.
NO EOL

All zones must have a 5600 ohm resistor across them. If the zone is shorted or open, it will be in a
SINGLE EOL violated condition. If the zone is open and programmed as a fire zone, it will be in a trouble
condition. See “[Q][2] Trouble Display”.
Notes: If zones are programmed for Fire or Links Supervisory, EOL resistors must be used.

This configuration will allow the panel to detect zone Faults (zone shorted), zone tampers (open
DOUBLE EOL circuit), open zones (Alarm condition of the 11200 Ohms) and restored zones. If the zone is
disarmed and placed in the Tamper (open) or Fault (Short) state the keypad buzzer will sound
from all partition keypads (that the zone belongs to) for the length of bell time out or until an
access code is entered. A zone tamper (or Fault) alarm reporting code will be sent to the
monitoring station if programmed. When the partition is armed and a zone is Tampered or Faulted
all burglary outputs for the partition will activate for the length of bell time out or a valid access
code is entered. There will be no buzzer sounded while the zone is armed. A zone tamper (or
Fault) alarm reporting code and zone alarm reporting code will be sent to the monitoring station if
programmed. See Reporting Codes for details. Refer to the System Manual for detail on the
hookup procedure. All zones on the PC4010 can use double EOL resistors, except wireless
zones (Zone that belong to the PC4164), Fire Zones all types (Standard Fire, Delay Fire, Auto
Verify Fire, Sprinkler PC4700 2 Wire Smoke and Waterflow), Links Supervisory, Links Answer and
Forced Answer zones. These zone types must only be used with single EOL. double EOL
resistors allow the zone to be capable of detecting zone tampers and zone faults. The Tamper
resistor (5600 Ohms) is placed across the alarm contact, and the single EOL resistor (5600
Ohms) is placed between the alarm contact and the tamper contact.

Communications Compatibility
All these communication formats are compatible with the Silent Knight SK9000 and Ademco
model 685 receivers with the exception of formats (15), (16), (17) and (18). Formats (15) and (16)
are compatible with the Linear/ Sescoa model 3000C receiver.

10, 20 and 40 BPS Formats

10 Bits Per Second is the standard slow format used on Silent Knight and Ademco receivers.
Data = 1900 Hz Kissoff = 1400 Hz Speed = 10 Baud
20 Bits Per Second is the standard fast format used on DCI, Franklin, Sescoa and Vertex
receivers.
Data = 1800 Hz Kissoff = 1400/2300 Hz Speed = 20 Baud
40 Bits Per Second is the standard format used on Radionics receivers.
Data = 1800 Hz Kissoff = 1400/2300 Hz Speed = 40 Baud

These formats will send an account code to identify which customer is sending the alarm, and a
reporting code to identify the type of alarm. Depending on the receiver, the account code must be
either 3 or 4 digits, and the reporting code must be either 1 or 2 digits. If the account code needs
to be only 3 digits, program the ‘System ID Code’ and each partition’s ‘Customer ID Code’ with 3
digits, followed by a ‘0’. If you wish to send a zero in the account code, program it with a HEX A.
For example, if you wish to send 103 as your account code, program the System or Customer ID
code with ‘1A30’. If the reporting code needs to only be 1 digit, program the reporting codes with
one digit followed by a ‘0’. For example, to send a ‘3’, program ‘30’ into the reporting codes. To
send a zero, program HEX A into the reporting code. For example, to send 30, enter 3A.

16
 SYSTEM AREA COMMUNICATOR MAIN ITEMS

Radionics Format
For conventional 3/1 Radionics format the communications mode should be set to either (10) or
(11), the 40 Bps extended format. The following guidelines have been provided to help in
configuring the PC4010 for Radionics format.
1. The system ID code and customer ID codes must be only 3 digits with a zero making up
the 4th digit (i.e. program 1230 for ID code 123.)
2. The zone alarm reporting codes must all be single digit numerical codes with no extended
2nd round being sent. The zero in the 2nd digit of the reporting code tells the PC4010 not to
send an extended code.
3. All other non-alarm reporting codes must be set up to send an extended 2nd round. The
1st digit of the reporting code is used to identify the event while the 2nd or extended digit is
used to associate the event with a particular item. (i.e. A reporting code of E3 means
restore zone 3 - E for restore and 3 for zone 3.)
4. The following is a list of 1st digit identifiers that should be used with the Radionics format.
Restorals “E” Example “E3” = Restore zone 3
Openings “B” Example “B2” = Opening by User 2
Closings “C” Example “C4” = Closing by User 4
Troubles “F” Example “F5” = Trouble from Source 5
Misc “D” Example “D1” = Partial Closing
Alarm “A” Example “A7” = Alarm Zone 7

SIA 1986 Format

The system ID codes and the customer ID codes must be four decimal digits in length. The
reporting codes must be 2 digits.
Note: Do not program the keypad lockout reporting code or the printer buffer nearly full
reporting code.
The SIA format will transmit a 4 digit account code, a 2 digit identifier code and a 2 digit reporting
code. The 2 digit identifier is preprogrammed by the PC4010. The 2 digit reporting code is
programmed by the installer with any hex number from 01 to FE.

of 0001 to 3374.
The reporting codes must be 2 digits in length and programmed as follows. All zero’s must be
replaced with ‘A’s. For example, to send 20, the PC4010 must be programmed with a 2A. (To
disable a reporting code, leave as FF.)
Notes: Do not program the Downloading Lead In reporting code, the Downloading Lead Out
reporting code, the Installer’s Lead In reporting code, the Installer’s Lead Out Reporting Code,
the RS-232 Trouble Alarm Rep Code or the RS-232 Trouble Restoral Rep Code.
The keyswitch zones will be identified as the zone number plus 128. For example, if the
closing user zone and the closing keyswitch zone numbers are both 002, the closing
keyswitch zone will then be identified as 130 (zone number 2 + 128 = 130).

Surgard 4/3 DTMF Format

This is a 7 digit format sent by DTMF tones and uses a 2300 Hz handshake. Each round pair
represents a single event as follows:
SSSSXCC
where, SSSS=4 digit account code
X = Event descriptor, preprogrammed in the PC4010.
CC = 2 digit reporting code programmed by the installer.
The reporting codes can be programmed with any hex number from 01 to FE (00 or FF will disable
the reporting code).
Note that both “0” and “A” will both represent and be received as “0”.

 SYSTEM AREA COMMUNICATOR MAIN ITEMS

Normally the Zone Alarm reporting codes will transmit a “3” as the event descriptor for most zone
types, to indicate a burglary alarm. However, if the zone type is a Standard Fire Zone, Delayed
Fire Zone or Auto Verify Fire Zone, the PC4010 will transmit a “1” as the event descriptor for these
zone types to indicate a fire alarm is being transmitted.
For zones programmed as momentary keyswitch arming or maintained keyswitch arming, the
PC4010 will transmit a “4” and the reporting code programmed in the “Zone Alarm” section to
indicate a closing (arming) of a partition.
In the Zone Restore reporting codes section, a zone will normally transmit a “9” as the event
descriptor for burglary or fire zones to indicate the zone has been restored. However, if the zone
has been programmed as a momentary or maintained keyswitch arming zone, when the zone is
used to disarm a partition it will transmit a “5” and the reporting code programmed in the zone
restoral section to indicate an opening (disarming) of a partition.

Pager Format 1
Pager Format 1 (Semadigit) transmits 7 DTMF digits for each event. Each round is transmitted as
follows: AAAA XX C Where AAAA is the 4 digit Account Code.
XX is the 2 digit reporting code.
C is the DTMF Character #
Only one event is communicated per call. This format requires and initial handshake of 440 Hz,
and a kissoff handshake of 1400 Hz.
Note: Pager Formats should only be used as a backup, If using other communication
formats do not program Dialer Directions for the pager format.

Pager Format 2
Pager Format 2 (Semaphone) transmits no data. The system will call the number programmed
once for every event that occurs. This format is intended to be used with a pager but can be used
to call a private residence. This format will “beep” the line every 2 seconds after dialing the
phone number. Although this event is not identified, the recipient is made aware of the alarm.
Only one event is communicated per call. No handshake of kissoff signals are required for this
format.
Note: Pager Formats should only be used as a backup, If using other communication
formats do not program Dialer Directions for the pager format.
Do not use this format with 1300 Hz I.D.

Pager Format 3
Pager Format 3 transmits 7 DTMF digits for each event. Each round is transmitted as follows:
AAAA XX C Where AAAA is the 4 digit Account Code.
XX is the 2 digit reporting code.

Y
The PC4010 can switch to pulse dialing after a programmed number of attempts at
DTMF dialing have failed. See “DTMF Attempts”.
NO = The dialer will use pulse dialing.

Restore on Bell Time Out?

RESTORE ON BTO
Y
YES = The panel will send the restoral reporting code when both the zone is restored and the
bell has timed out (see “BELL CUTOFF” for the time the bell will time out). Note that if the
zone is not restored, the restoral will be sent when the partition is disarmed. DO NOT
enable this feature if “REST ON DISARM” is enabled.
NO = The panel will send the restoral reporting code when the zone is restored, or if “REST
ON DISARM” is enabled, the restoral is sent when the partition is disarmed. (See “REST
ON DISARM”.)

Restore on Disarming?
REST ON DISARM
YES = The panel will send a restoral when the partition has been disarmed. The panel will not
N
send another alarm transmission for the zone until the partition is disarmed. DO NOT
enable “RESTORE ON BTO” if this feature is enabled. (See “RESTORE ON BTO”.)
NO = The panel will send the restoral immediately when the zone is restored, or if “RESTORE
ON BTO” is enabled, the restoral is sent when the bell times out. (See “RESTORE ON
BTO”.)
Note: If Bell Shutdown is to be used, do NOT use “Rest On Disarm” for Shutdown to occur.

Swinger Shutdown reset every 24 hours?

SHUT DOWN 24HRS
YES = The swinger shutdown counters will be reset everyday at midnight. The swinger
N
shutdown counters keep track of how many alarms have occurred on each zone before
entering shutdown, in which the zones will no longer cause an alarm. See “SWINGER
LIMIT” and “SWGR SHUT DOWN” to enable swinger shutdown.
NO = The swinger shutdown counters will be reset when the partition is armed.

Partial Closings Identified?

PC ID
YES = The panel will identify all manually bypassed zones when the partition is armed. The
N
bypassed zones are identified by sending the zone alarm reporting codes for the
bypassed zones between the partial closing reporting code and the closing code. The
partial closing reporting code must be programmed for this feature to work.
See “MISC CLOSING” to program the partial closing reporting code.
See “PC ID RESTORES” to use zone restoral reporting codes instead of zone alarm
reporting codes to identify the bypassed zones.
NO = The panel will only send a partial closing reporting code to tell the monitoring station that
zones were bypassed when the partition was armed.

Partial Closings on Auto Arming?

PC ON AUTO ARM YES = The panel will send the partial closing reporting code to the monitoring station when a
Y
zone is force armed (temporarily bypassed) by an auto arm. If the option “PC ID” is
enabled, the force armed zone will be identified by sending its zone alarm reporting code
after the partial closing reporting code. See “FORCE ARM” for an explanation of force
arming.
NO = No partial closing reporting code will be sent when zones are force armed during auto arming.

PH 1-2 BACKUP
YES = The PC4010 will send the reporting code to the 2nd phone number if the 1st phone
N
number fails to communicate with the monitoring station after 10 attempts. Dialer
directions for the 2nd phone number should be disabled (set to “N”) if the 2nd number
is used for backup only, otherwise the reporting codes will be sent to the 2nd phone
number whether the 1st number failed or not.
NO = Disabled. The 2nd phone number does NOT back up the 1st phone number.

Phone #3 back up Phone #1?

PH 1-3 BACKUP
YES = The PC4010 will send the reporting code to the 3rd phone number if the 1st phone
N
number fails to communicate with the monitoring station after 10 attempts. Dialer
directions for the 3rd phone number should be disabled (set to “N”) if the 3rd number is
used for backup only, otherwise the reporting codes will be sent to the 3rd phone
number whether the 1st number failed or not.
If “PH 1-2 BACKUP” is enabled when 1st phone number fails, the reporting code will be
sent to both the 2nd and 3rd phone number.
NO = Disabled. The 3rd phone number does NOT back up the 1st phone number.

Phone #3 back up Phone #2?

PH 2-3 BACKUP
YES= The PC4010 will send the reporting code to the 3rd phone number if the 2nd phone
N
number fails to communicate with the monitoring station after 10 attempts. Dialer
directions for the 3rd phone number should be disabled (set to “N”) if the 3rd number
is used for backup only, otherwise the reporting codes will be sent to the 3rd phone
number whether the 2nd number failed or not.
If “PH 1-2 BACKUP” is enabled when 1st phone number fails, the reporting code will
be sent to the 2nd phone number. If the 2nd phone number fails, the reporting code
will then be sent to the 3rd phone number.
NO = Disabled. The 3rd phone number does NOT back up the 2nd phone number.

Busy Tone Detection?

BUSY TONE DET Yes = If a busy tone is detected for 4 seconds the panel will hang-up and redial 60 seconds after
N
hearing the busy tone. By default this option is set to No.
No = The panel will not search for Busy Tone when dialing the phone number.

1300 Hz Identification Tone?

1300 HZ I.D. Yes = This Communications Toggle when enabled will allow the panel to emit a 1300Hz
N
Identification tone from the time the end of the phone number is dialed to the time that it
receives a handshake. By default this option is set to No.
No = No Identification tone will be transmitted when the panel dial out.
Note: This option must not be used with Pager 2, Pager 3 or Contact ID communications
formats.

Alternate Dialing?
ALTERNATE DIAL Yes = This communications toggle option allows the panel to switch telephone number after a
N failed communication attempt. If the panel is able to dial (force dialing not included) on
Phone Number One, but no handshake is received then the next communication attempt
will be to Phone Number 2 regardless of the dialer direction settings. This will cause the
panel to switch between phone number 1 and 2 until a handshake is received. If a
handshake is received but no kissoff is received from the receiver the panel will continue
to dial that phone number until the event FTC's or a phone number backup occurs. By
Default is option is set to No.
Note: When alternate dialing is enabled the control panel will ignore all dialer
directions and backup settings for phone number 2. Phone number 1 may be backed
up to phone number 3, however phone number 2 will not backup to phone number 3
with Alternate Dialing enabled.
No = The panel will not switch phone numbers if no handshake is received until the
programmed backup or dialer direction occurs.

SYSTEM MAINT
System Maintenance Reporting Codes. There are 19 reporting codes dealing with the operation
(19) and maintenance of the system. The reporting codes are:
• Battery Trouble and Battery Restoral - If the battery voltage on the PC4010 main panel is
weak, disconnected or if the battery fuse fails, a battery trouble occurs, and the battery trouble
reporting code is sent. When the battery voltage and fuse are restored, the battery restoral
code is sent. See Battery Trouble under Trouble Display [Q][2] in the System Manual.
• AC Line Trouble and AC Line Restoral - If the incoming AC voltage to the AC terminals fails,
an AC trouble occurs and the AC trouble reporting code is sent to the monitoring station after
the AC Fail Tx Delay has elapsed (see “AC FAIL TX DELAY”). When the incoming AC is
restored, the AC restoral reporting code is sent to the monitoring station. See AC Trouble under
Trouble Display [Q][2] in the System Manual.
• Main Bell Trouble and Main Bell Restoral - If a bell trouble occurs, either from the bell fuse
failure or the open bell terminals, the Main Bell Trouble reporting code will be sent to the
monitoring station. When the trouble condition is restored, the Main Bell Restoral reporting code
will be transmitted.
• Main Aux Trouble and Main Aux Restoral - If an auxiliary voltage supply trouble occurs, the
Main Aux Trouble reporting code is transmitted, and when the auxiliary voltage supply is
restored, the Main Aux Restoral code is transmitted.
• COMBUS Trouble and COMBUS Restoral - When the main panel losses communication with a
module, the COMBUS Trouble reporting code will be transmitted, and when communications
resume the COMBUS Restoral reporting code will be sent.
• TLM Failure - If the Links unit is being used, a TLM reporting code will be sent through the
Links when a TLM trouble occurs. DO NOT PROGRAM THIS REPORTING CODE IF THE
LINKS MODULE IS NOT BEING USED.
• TLM Restoral - If there is a telephone line monitoring trouble, the PC4010 will not be able to
communicate with the monitoring station until the telephone line is restored, then the TLM
Restoral reporting code will be sent.
• TLM Fail Line 2 - If the LINKS unit is being used, a TLM reporting code will be sent through the
LINKS when a TLM trouble occurs. DO NOT PROGRAM THIS REPORTING CODE IF THE
LINKS MODULE IS NOT BEING USED.
• TLM Restoral Line 2 - If there is a Telephone Line Monitoring Trouble, when the trouble
restores the panel will transmit the programmed reporting code reporting code.
• FTC Restoral - If a failure to communicate trouble occurs, where the PC4010 could not get
through to the monitoring station, the next time the panel attempts to communicate and is
successful, it will also transmit the FTC restoral reporting code.

 SYSTEM AREA COMMUNICATOR REPORTING CODES LINKS MODULE

• User System Test - When the user does a [Q][6] bell/comm test, the User System Test
reporting code is sent to the monitoring station to test communications. See “BELL/COMM
TEST” in the System Manual.
• Links Test - If this code is programmed and Links Test Transmission is enabled (see Links
Toggles), this reporting code will be sent via the Links unit. This code will never be sent
through the regular telephone line.
• Per. Test UL - Periodic Test Transmission U.L. This test transmission code is sent in place of a
Periodic Test Transmission if a Fire Trouble is present on the system at the time that the
periodic test transmission is supposed to be sent. The default reporting code is 99.
• DLS Lead In and DLS Lead Out - If the DLS Lead In reporting code is to be used, the DLS
callback feature must be enabled. (See DLS callback under DLS Toggles). When a computer
calls the PC4010 panel, after connection is made, both the panel and the computer will hang
up the telephone line. The panel will then transmit the DLS Lead In reporting code to the
monitoring station. The panel will then call the computer and begin downloading. When the
computer is finished downloading to the panel, they will both hang up the phone line, and the
PC4010 will transmit the DLS Lead Out reporting code to the monitoring station.
Note: DLS Lead In/Out reporting code is only sent for User Call Up and DLS Call Back.
• Ins Lead In and Ins Lead Out - The Installer's Lead In reporting code is sent to the monitoring
station when an installer enters the [Q][8] installer’s programming mode. The Lead Out code is
sent when the installer leaves [Q][8] installer’s programming.
• Automation Fault - This trouble condition will occur well the Escort 4580 losses
communication with the Automation Output control module. An audible trouble (VIA keypad
buzzer) will be generated as well as the trouble LED activating for the keypads. An Automation
Fault trouble reporting code will be sent to the monitoring station if programmed. If there is an
AC trouble present at the time the panel will not transmit the Automation Fault reporting code.
• Automation Restoral - This reporting code is sent when the Automation Fault trouble condition clears.
The PC4204 module maintenance reporting code section has reporting codes for sixteen

(25)
goes into alarm and the zone transmits a zone alarm (or tamper alarm) reporting code a timer
(Police Code Time - see System Times) will being. If during this time (60 minutes by default) a
second zone goes into alarm, this zone will transmit its alarm reporting code followed by the
partition(s) Police Code Alarm Reporting code (there is a Police Code Alarm reporting code for
each partition). A second police code will only be sent once the police code restore has been
transmitted for that partition (see Police Code Restoral). Police Code Alarm will only function for
burglary zones and only while the partition is armed. This includes 24 hour Burg zones (24 Bell,
Bell/Buzz, and Buzzer, latching 24 Hour). The only zone that will activate the police code are the
following; Standard Delay; Auxiliary Delay; Instant; Interior; Interior Home Away; Delay Home

 SYSTEM AREA EVENT SCHEDULING
EVENT
SCHEDULING
Event scheduling allows for a variety of timed events to occur on specific dates and times.
EVENT SCHEDULING
(10) Openings and Closings can be suppressed during high traffic times, outputs may be programmed
to follow Date Schedules and partitions may be Auto Armed and Auto Disarmed by specific times
programmed in the Date Schedule.

This group of schedules can be programmed to suppress openings or closing (each schedule is
OPEN/CLOSE SUPPR
(0) capable of suppressing either opening or closings only) for any partition on the system. There are
99 different Open/Close Suppression schedules that the panel is capable of following. Each
schedule is programmed to follow one of 99 Date Schedules. Date Schedules is where the time(s)
for the Open/Close Suppression schedule are programmed. If desired the schedule can be
programmed to follow a Holiday Schedule this will allow the Schedule to have exceptions. Each
Schedule may be programmed to function for one or more partitions at the same time.
Programming sections of Open/Close suppression are:
• Openings Y/N - Selects to suppress openings or closings - Default N
• Date Schedule # 01 - 99 - Selects the date schedule to follow - Default 01
• Partition Mask - Selects the Partition(s) to be active on - Default All off
An example of an Open/Close Suppression Schedule:
Open/Close Suppression Schedule 05 is programmed with;
Openings - Y
Sch. # (Date Schedule Number) - 03
Partition 1 - Y Partition 5 - N
Partition 2 - Y Partition 6 - N
Partition 3 - N Partition 7 - N
Partition 4 - N Partition 8 - N
Date Schedule - 03 is programmed with;
Interval 1 Interval 2
Start Time 0730 Start Time 1630
End Time 0930 End Time 1830
Sunday N Sunday N
Monday Y Monday Y
Tuesday Y Tuesday Y
Wednesday Y Wednesday Y
Thursday Y Thursday Y
Friday Y Friday Y
Saturday N Saturday N
Holiday 1 N Holiday 1 N
Holiday 2 N Holiday 2 N
Holiday 3 N Holiday 3 N
Holiday 4 N Holiday 4 N
Autoarm N Autoarm N
Autodisarm N Autodisarm N
Intervals 3 - 4 are left unprogrammed.
In this example Open/Close Suppression schedule 05 will suppress openings for partitions
1 and 2, following Date Schedule 03 Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM to
6:30 PM In this example Holiday Schedules and Autoarm/Disarm Schedules are not used.
Notes: In an opening suppression window if a partition is disarmed with alarms in
memory the opening (or Autodisarming) and opening after alarm will be transmitted.
In a opening/closing suppression window the openings and closings will be logged to
the event buffer, but no transmission will be made for the event.

Date Schedules are used by the panel to control the times that an event will occur. There are 99
DATE SCHEDULES Date schedule each containing 4 intervals. Date schedules are used by Open/Close Suppression
(1)
Schedules, Holiday Schedules, Autoarm/Autodisarm Schedule and the Date Schedule Output
(See PGM OUTPUT OPTIONS).
Interval - An Interval is used by the control panel to determine the time(s) and day(s) that a
schedule is to be active and if the schedule should follow a Holiday Schedule or Autoarm/
Autodisarm schedule.

45
Each Interval contains the following programming Items:
• Start Time - Indicates the time of day that the schedule Interval will start. Valid entries are from
00:00 to 24:00. And 9999- Default is 0000.
Note: If two Intervals in a schedule are programmed for the same start time the schedule
will follow the longest End Time.
• End Time - Indicates the time of day the schedule Interval will end. Valid entries are from 00:00
to 24:00. And 9999 - Default is 0000.
Note: The End Time must be equal to or greater than the Start Time.
• Day Toggles - Each day of the week may be selected to be active for the interval. - Default
each Day is off (N).
• Holiday Group Toggles - These toggles allow the Interval to follow a Holiday Schedule(s). Each
Interval may follow any of the 4 Holiday Schedules. - Default each Holiday Group is off (N).
• Autoarm - This will enable the Interval to Autoarm any partition(s) selected by the “Arm/Disarm
Sched” - Default Autoarm is set to N.
• Autodisarm This will enable the Interval to Autodisarm any partition(s) selected by the “Arm/
Disarm Sched” - Default Autodisarm is set to N.
Note: Do not program an Interval with both Autoarm and Autodisarm enabled. For the
Autoarm Autodisarm feature to work they must be put into separate Intervals.
Each Date Schedule may be used to control more than one schedule type at a time. One schedule
could be programmed to follow an Autoarm/disarm schedule, opening/closing suppression
schedule, or Date Schedule output. These items can all be programmed to follow the same
schedule.
Each Interval is independent of each other, but any of the scheduled items that are programmed
to follow the Schedule will follow all intervals.
To Program The On Times Under 1 Minute
When using the Date Schedule output and the on time duration is to be less than one minute the
outputs “Pulse Timer” must be programmed to be between 01 and 59. If the pulse timer is
programmed to be [00] the output will remain active until the End Time of the schedule occurs.
Activating Outputs For Specific Dates
In order for a Date Schedule to become active for a specific day of the year a Holiday Schedule
Group can be programmed for the desired day and then assigned to an interval on the Date
schedule. Do not program a day of the week, this will allow the Date Schedule to activate at the
Start Time of the day and remain active until the End Time of the that day.
Turning A Schedule On or Off
Programming 9999 into the start time will allow the schedule to deactivate at the end time. This is
useful when an X-10 Item is to be turned off at a specific time. The output will deactivate
regardless of its state (on or off). Programming 9999 into the End Time will allow the schedule to
activate and not have an End Time. This will allow the schedule to be active for more than one day
if desired. The schedule can then be deactivated by another interval at a desired time.
Example:
An Example of Date Scheduling to control a programmable output is:

Holiday Group #3 - Is programmed with the following day 1225 (December 25)
In this example the Main PGM output will activate 3 times during the day, Monday to Friday at 8:30
AM, 12:00 PM, 12:30 PM for ten seconds each time (this was done by programming the PGM
output pulse timer to 10 instead of leaving it at 00). This output will also activate for December 25
(1225) at 5:00 PM for 10 seconds regardless of what day of the week it is. PC4204 relay number 2
will activate on the same days (as well as December 25) and at the same time but will remain on
until the programmed End Time occurs. This was accomplished by programming 00 into the PGM
output Pulse Timer section for that output.

Holiday Schedules are used by the panel to provide exceptions to the scheduled events. Open/
HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
(2)
Close Suppression, Date Schedules, and Arm/Disarm Scheduling are capable of following Holiday
Schedules. There a re 4 Holiday groups that can have as holidays programmed as there are days
in the year. Select the Holiday group to be edited (1-4) and the display will prompt with “Enter
Date”. This is a 4 digit entry for the month and day (MM/DD). Once the date has been entered the
year will be auto programmed for the selected date. If the date programmed has not occurred yet
for the present year then the present year will be auto inserted into the date. If the date has
already occur for the year then the next year will be auto inserted. Once a Holiday Schedule has
occurred the holiday will be erased from memory allowing for a new schedule to be placed into
the programming section.
Sections to be programmed for Holiday Schedules are
Holiday Group 1-4 - default is 1

Interval 4 is programmed to activate the schedule on 1225. When December 25 occurs the
partition will Autoarm at 10:00 PM regardless of the day of the week.. Because interval 1 and 2
follow holiday schedule number 2 as well the programmed events will not occur on that day.
PC4204 #10 output #3 will activate whenever following the same pattern as the autoarming and
auto disarming schedule does.
Note: Be sure the system Time and Date are set before programming Holiday schedules.
Arm/Disarm Scheduling is used by the panel to control when a partition will Auto Arm or Auto

Partition Times
The following programming sections are for programming various times separately for each
PARTITION TIMES
partition.
(2)

The keypads will give a tone to signal an entry delay when a Standard Delay zone or a Delay
ENTRY DELAY
Home Away zone is activated. This gives the user time to disarm the system when they enter
(0)
through a door. The entry delay time is programmable from 000 to 255 seconds (see Standard
Delay zones and Delay Home Away Zone Types). The default setting is 030.
When a system is armed, the zones will not become active until the exit delay has expired, this
EXIT DELAY
gives the user time to exit the building without tripping alarms. The exit delay time is
(1)
programmable from 000 to 255 seconds. This time can be displayed on the keypad (see “Disp
Exit Time”). The default setting is 120.
This entry time is for auxiliary delay zones, for doorways that may need a longer entry delay than
AUX ENTRY DELAY
(2)
standard delay zones. This time is programmable from 000 to 255 seconds (See Auxiliary Delay
Zone Types). The default setting is 045.
This exit time is for auxiliary delay zones, for doorways that may need a longer exit delay than
AUX EXIT DELAY
(3)
standard delay zones. This time is programmable from 000 to 255 seconds (See Auxiliary Delay
Zone Types.). The default setting is 120.
Note: The auxiliary entry/exit delays should not be shorter than the standard entry/exit
delay times.
This is the amount of time the panel will wait before CTT arming. Valid entries are from 000 to 255.
CTT TIME
The timer value is the programmed value multiplied by 5 minutes. Programming a value of 000 will
(4)
disable this feature.
- The CTT timer will begin when the partition is disarmed.
- 15 minutes before the CTT arming takes place, the CTT arming prealert will begin. The keypads
will beep once every 4 seconds and the keypads will display the message
CTT ARMING
IN PROGRESS...

- At 5 minutes before the CTT arming takes place the keypads will beep twice every four
seconds (urgency)
- At 1 minute before the CTT arming the panel will begin the normal autoarm procedure.
If a valid access code with the disarmed bit enabled is entered during the CTT arming prealert, a user
log will be logged to the event buffer and the CTT timer will be set to 1 hour. If the access code is
entered during the autoarm prealert, the panel will log and transmit an autoarm abort reporting code.
Notes: For the CTT arming feature to function properly, the autoarm abort requires access
code option must be enabled.
During the CTT arming prealert, the Escort4580 will prompt the user with autoarm active.

 PARTITION AREA ADD / EDIT PAR ZONE ASSIGNMENT ZONE TYPE

Zone Assignment
This section is for assigning type and options for each individual zone.
ZONE ASSIGNMENT
(3)
By default, the first 8 zones on the main panel are assigned to partition 1. If zone expanders have
ADD NEW ZONE been enrolled, the zones must be added to a partition for the PC4010 to be able to monitor them.
(0) Upon entering this section, the zones which have not been assigned to the selected partition will
be displayed. Use [<][>] keys to scroll through the zones, and the [Q] key to select which zone to
add to the selected partition.
Global Zones: If zone(s) are added to more than one partition (global zones), the zone(s) will
follow the following rules:
• A global zone is not armed until all partitions which the zone belongs to are armed.
• A global delay zone will follow the longest delay of all partitions which it is assigned to. For
example, if Partition 1 has an entry delay of 30 seconds and Partition 2 has an entry delay of 45
seconds, the global delay zone will not be in alarm until Partition 2 finishes with its entry delay.
• If one or more partitions that a global interior home-away zone(s) belongs to is [Q] [9] armed
(At-home Armed), and the other partitions which the zone(s) belongs to are not, the zone will
not be active until the interior zones are activated ([Q] [1]).
• If a global zone is manually bypassed and any partition that the zone belongs to is disarmed,
the bypass will be removed from the zone.
This section is for editing zones which have already been assigned to a partition. Upon entering
EDIT ZONE
this section, the zones which have been assigned to the selected partition will be displayed. Use

 PARTITION AREA ADD / EDIT PAR ZONE ASSIGNMENT ADD / EDIT ZONES

Standard delay zones have an entry and exit delay. The exit delay starts as soon as the panel is
STANDARD DELAY
armed. The loop may be opened and closed during the delay time without causing an alarm. After
(00)
the exit delay time has expired, opening the loop will start the entry delay timer. During the entry
delay time, the keypad will sound steadily to advise the user that the system should be disarmed.
If the panel is disarmed before the entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.
The auxiliary delay zone operates the same way as the standard delay zone. However different
AUXILIARY DELAY
entry / exit times may be programmed. This is useful when a system has two delay zones, each
(01)
requiring a different entry / exit time.
The zone opened will activate instantly after the partition is armed and the exit delay has expired.
INSTANT
(02)

The zone will follow the entry time of a delay zone. If no delay zone has been tripped the zone will
INTERIOR
activate instantly.
(03)

The zone will operate the same as the interior option with one exception: the zone will
INT HOME AWAY
automatically bypass if no delay zone on the partition is tripped during exit delay.
(04)

The zone will operate the same as the Interior Home / Away option with one exception: the zone
DELAY HOME AWAY
has entry delay.
(05)

A 24 Hour Bell zone is active at all times, and will create an alarm whether the partition is armed
24 HR BELL
or disarmed. This zone will not go into alarm if the zone is bypassed.
(06)

This zone operates like the 24 hour bell option except the bell output terminals are activated when
24 HR BELL/BUZZ
the partition is armed, and the keypad buzzer will be activated when the partition is disarmed.
(07)

Operates the same as the 24 hour bell, except this zone will only activate the keypad buzzer.
24 HR BUZZER
(08)

A fire zone is a 24 Hour zone that is specially used for fire detection circuits. On alarm, the bell
STANDARD FIRE
output will pulse the bells to indicate that the fire loop has been activated. The communicator will
(09)
immediately transmit the alarm to the monitoring station if a reporting code is programmed.
If the fire zone is open circuit, the keypads will beep every 10 seconds and a fire zone trouble will
be displayed on the LCD. If programmed the communicator will transmit the trouble to the
monitoring station. The keypad beeping may be silenced by pressing any key.
Note: Do NOT program fire zones as silent and do NOT use the double EOL resistors with
this zone type.
This fire zone works the same way as a 24 Hour fire zone, except the alarm memory and transmission
DELAYED FIRE
by the communicator is delayed by 30 seconds. If the alarm is acknowledged by pressing any key
(10)
before the 30 second delay expires, the bells will silence and the transmission will be aborted.
If after the alarm has been acknowledged, and the smoke detector has not been restored to normal,
after 90 seconds the bell output will be activated again, in which the user then has another 30 second
delay before the bell output latches and communicator are activated. A code would then be required
to silence the bell output.
Note: Do NOT program fire zones as silent and do NOT use the double EOL resistors with
this zone type.
Automatically Verifying Fire Zone.
AUTO VER FIRE
This zone works the same way as the Standard Fire Zone with the exception that it will reset the
(11)
smoke detectors and wait for it to go into alarm again before sounding the bells and transmitting
the alarm to the monitoring station. If the smoke detectors do not go into alarm again, it assumes
there is a false alarm and no fire alarm will be initiated.
For activating an automatically verifying fire zone, the smoke detectors must be powered by the
SW AUX power supply on the main panel, or controlled by a relay on a PC4204 module.
Otherwise the PC4010 has no control over the power to the sensors.
When an automatically verifying fire zone is shorted, the PC4010 performs a “SENSOR RESET”,
which removes the power from the smoke detectors for 20 seconds. All SW AUX, BELL or PGM
outputs programmed for “SENSOR RESET” will be activated. The outputs will be deactivated for
20 seconds, regardless of the time programmed in the “PGM PULSE TIMES” section. After the 20
second reset pulse time, power will be restored to the sensors and all fire zone troubles will be
bypassed for 10 seconds to allow the detectors to settle.

53
 PARTITION AREA ADD / EDIT PAR ZONE ASSIGNMENT ADD / EDIT ZONES

If the smoke detectors initiate another alarm within 60 seconds after the power is restored, a fire
alarm will immediately sound and the monitoring station will be notified.
If the smoke detector is not reset during the sensor reset, the zone will not be restored. Because
the zone is not restored, a fire alarm will be initiated immediately.
See PGM OUTPUTS for programming an output as “SENSOR RESET”, “Smoke Detector Power
Supply” on the PC4204 Wiring Diagram for using the PC4204 to power up the smoke detectors,
and PC4010 Wiring Diagram in the System Manual for using the SW AUX on the main panel to
power up the smoke detectors.
Note: Do NOT program fire zones as silent and do NOT use the double EOL resistors with
this zone type.

A momentary closure of this zone will alternately arm and disarm the partition. This zone can be
MOMENTARY ARM
(12)
used as a key switch to arm and disarm the system. The zone is monitored for EOL resistors if the
“ZONES EOL” option is enabled in the system options.
Notes: This zone type must not be used as a global zone.

When the zone is closed the partition will disarm. When the zone is opened the partition will be
MAINTAINED ARM
(13)
armed. The zone is monitored for EOL resistors if the “ZONES EOL” option is enabled in the
system options.

The zone will operate the same as the 24 hour bell option with one exception: the installer’s mode
LATCHING 24 HR
(14)
([Q][8]) must be entered before the system can be armed. This will ensure the problem has been
examined by the installer.

When this zone is tripped, the panel will instantly pick up the phone lines looking for a

“Links Supervisory” is used with the Links cellular communications unit to monitor for Links
LINKS SUP
troubles. When the Links PGM output activates, a Links trouble will be logged on the event buffer
(16)
and the zone trouble transmitted. This zone type may be programmed through the Links Toggle
Option section.
Note: If Partial Closings identify alarms are used the Alarm Reporting Code must be
programmed for the feature to function properly. Do NOT use the double EOL resistors with
this zone type.

It provides the Links with a forced answer for downloading purposes. This zone type may be
LINKS ANSWER
programmed through the Links Toggle Option section.
(17)
Note: Do NOT use the double EOL resistors with this zone type.

A Sprinkler zone is a 24 hour zone that is specifically used for sprinkler alarm circuits. On alarm,
SPRINKLER
the keypad buzzer will activate and the message “Sprinkler Zone In Alarm” will be displayed until
(18)
the zone has been restored. If enabled the communicator will immediately transmit the alarm to
the monitoring station if a reporting code is programmed. If the Sprinkler zone is open circuit the
keypads will beep every 10 seconds and a sprinkler supervisory trouble will be sent to the
monitoring station. The message “Fire Trouble !! <> To View” will be displayed until the zone has
been restored. Note: Do not use double EOL with the sprinkler zone.

This zone type is a 24 hour silent zone. This output does not activate Burg. outputs or the

Good - This result will be displayed on the keypad as ***good*** and the keypad will beep once
indicating that the placement was good. A placement result of good means that the zone is
placed in a location that has a strong RF transmission strength.
Fair - This result will be displayed on the keypad as ***fair*** and the keypad will beep twice
indicating that the placement was fair. A placement result of fair means that the zone is placed in
a location that has passed the module placement test.
Poor - This result will be displayed on the keypad as ***poor*** and the keypad will beep three
times, indicating that the placement was poor. A placement result of poor means that the zone is
placed in a location that has weak RF transmission strength and should be relocated. In most
cases it should only be necessary to move the zone a short distance from its original intended
location. After relocating the zone repeat the module placement test. When the test results are
satisfactory, continue with the next zone to be tested.
Note: To perform a module placement test on an RF PIR motion detector, the zone must be

RF Zones - Summary
Placing Components
Before permanently mounting components, each component should be tested in its intended mounting location to
ensure it can communicate properly with the PC4164. It is recommended that the Module Placement Test is performed
more than once for each zone. For the best system performance, it is suggested that the PC4164 be mounted;
• in as central location as possible
• in as elevated a location as possible
In most installations, selecting a central location for the PC4164 will ensure reliable system operation. When mounting the
PC4164 in a basement, it is recommended that the PC4164 be mounted as high - and as close to the underside of the
first floor as possible.
Wireless PIR Motion Detectors
To prolong battery life of a PIR Motion Detector the detector features a High Traffic Shutdown Mode. If a motion
detector is activated more than once within a 6 minute period, the detector will temporarily delay reporting activity to
the PC4164. The Motion detector will then require a 12 minute period of no activity before it will resume transmissions
to the PC4164. Because the High Traffic Shutdown Mode prevents Motion Detectors from being tested during a
regular walk test, the Motion Detector features its own built in Walk Test Mode. To active this mode remove the back
plate from the detector to be tested, and then reattach it. The motion detector will be in Walk Test Mode for 90
seconds. The LED will come on for 3 seconds each time the detector is tripped. At the end of the 90 second period
the Motion detector will return to normal operation.
Zone Supervisories
A zone supervisory is a transmission sent from the wireless zone to the PC4164 as a test transmission to ensure that
communications between the zone and the PC4164 are still present. When the PC4164 receives the supervisory from the
zone it will then transmit this information to the control panel. If the control panel does not get a supervisory within the
“supervision time”, the zone will be considered lost and go into the open state.. (if double EOL is being used the zone
will go into the Tamper Alarm state). The next supervisory that the PC4164 receives for a missing zone will restore
communication with that zone and restore the Zone Supervisory Fault.
Battery Troubles
If a zone has a low battery trouble, then that zone does not report in with a zone supervisory within the “supervision
time”, the zone will not go into alarm. This has been included to reduce the possibility of a false alarm from batteries that
do not get changed in the zone, and then the zone going into sensor fault.
Restoring Battery Troubles
A wireless zone battery trouble will only be restored after that zone has been Tampered and Restored. This will allow the
batteries to be changed without multiple Battery trouble/Battery restoral transmissions taking place. In order for the
batteries to be changed the cover must be removed from the back plate. When the tamper is restored and the zone
sends a battery trouble restoral signal to the PC4164, the battery trouble will clear.

Note: If the printer is left on line hooked up to the PC4400 (RS-232) module, it will always print out events as they
occur.

with the modules.
If there is no problem the keypad will display ‘PC4010 System No Faults Found’.
If there is a problem, the keypad will display ‘Error ... Module’ along with ‘E- T- LV-’ and a number
following one of them. The number represents a module (See Appendix C). The ‘E’ stands for a
communications error, if the number follows the ‘E’, the main panel has lost communications with
the module represented by the number. The ‘T’ stands for tamper, which means the tamper zone
on the module has been activated. The ‘LV’ stands for low voltage, for when the module is not
receiving enough voltage from the COMBUS. For example, if the display shows ‘E- T-25 LV- ‘, this
means the tamper on the PC4400 module has been activated. The [<][>] keys are used to scroll
through the display if there is more than one module with a trouble.

Note: The following items are available during the first minute after power up.

battery terminals should now output 13.85 volts. If it is not 13.85, turn the ‘pot’ above the heat sink
until the voltage is the correct value. (If the voltage is 0 volts, check the battery fuse).
