Section 4: Keypad Commands
Use any system keypad to enter commands, or to program the Power8 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 Power8 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 two 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 PC5005 has a built-in feature called Audi-
ble Exit Fault. (see section 5.3 Basic Programming PWS
Sect 3 [001]-[002] 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 (e.g. 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 (e.g.
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 4.3 ’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 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
‘Memory’ 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.
