							Arming and Disarming Your System: Arming Your System
7
Arming Your 
System There are two basic methods for arming your security system. 
Away Arming
: Use this method when everyone will be away from the pre-
mises. See below.
Stay Arming
: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the pre-
mises. See page 8.
You can also use any of these methods to arm your system (see pages 10 to 11): 
Quick Arming:
 Arm your system without having to enter an access code. 
This 
feature must be turned on by your installer before it will work.
“No Entry” Arming:
 Arm your system with no entry delay - use this method 
when no one else will be entering the premises.
Automatic Arming:
 The system will arm itself at pre-programmed times. 
This 
feature must be turned on by your installer before it will work.
No Activity Arming:
 The system will arm itself after a pre-programmed delay 
after no zone activity. 
This feature must be turned on by your installer before it 
will work.
Away ArmingWhen you arm your system using the Away arming method, both interior zones 
(e.g. motion detectors) and border zones (e.g. door and window contacts) will be 
active and will cause an alarm to sound when opened.
1.  Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON).
2.  Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps. 
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily 
for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
When you enter a valid access code:
 The keypad sounds fast beeps.
 The Armed light turns ON.
 LCD5500Z keypads display “Exit Delay in Progress”.
 The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the 
end of the exit delay. The keypad beeps quickly for the last 10 seconds of 
the exit delay.
3. Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the system that 
you are away, and the system arms all the interior zones.
At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, turn OFF. 
LCD5500Z keypads display “System Armed in Away Mode” and “Enter Code 
to Disarm System”. The system is now armed.
NOTE: If LCD5500Z keypads display: “* WARNING * Bypass Active”, or if 
the Bypass indicator is ON at PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads, there are 
one or more zones bypassed (i.e. not armed). See 
“Bypassing Zones” on page 
15. If you arm the system with a zone bypassed or a trouble present, your 
security protection is reduced. 
						

							8Away Button
You may also be able to quickly Away arm your system using the “Away” function 
button on your keypad. 
If your installer has programmed this button, press and 
hold it for two seconds to arm in Away mode. 
Bell/Siren 
Sounds After 
Away ArmingYour installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. 
In order to reduce false alarms, the system will notify you of an improper exit 
when arming the system in the Away mode. If you do not securely close the entry/
exit door during the exit delay period, the keypad will emit one continuous beep 
and the bell or siren will sound. 
If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the 
entry delay timer expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit 
door properly. (See 
“Away Arming” on page 7.)
Stay ArmingUse the Stay arming method when you want to stay on the premises, but prevent 
unauthorized entry from outside the premises. The system will arm only the border 
(e.g. door and window contacts) zones and will bypass the interior zones (e.g. 
motion detectors) so that you will be free to move around inside.
1.  Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON)
2.  Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps. 
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily 
for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
When you enter a valid access code:
 The keypad sounds fast beeps.
 The Armed light turns ON.
 LCD5500Z keypads display “Exit Delay in Progress”.
 The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the 
end of the exit delay. The keypad beeps quickly for the last 10 seconds of 
the exit delay.
3.  DO NOT exit the premises through the entry/exit door. This tells the system that 
you are staying, and the system automatically bypasses the interior zones.
At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, turn OFF. 
LCD5500Z keypads display “System Armed in Stay Mode” and “Enter Code to 
Disarm System”. At PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads, the Bypass indicator will 
be on. The system is now armed.
Re-activate bypassed zones
To fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay mode:
1.  Press   at any keypad. The interior zones are now armed.

NOTE: When you have re-activated the interior zones, you will not be able 
to enter areas protected by motion detectors, or open doors and windows. 
To access these areas, you must enter your [access code] and disarm the sys-
tem.
Stay Button
You may also be able to quickly Stay arm your system using the “Stay” function 
button on your keypad. 
If your installer has programmed this button, press and 
hold it for two seconds to arm in Stay mode. 
Quick ArmYour installer will tell you if the Quick Arm method has been enabled on your sys-
tem. Using this method, you can quickly arm your system without having to enter 
an access code.

2. Press  . 
 The keypad sounds fast beeps.
 The Armed light turns ON.
 LCD5500Z keypads display “Exit Delay in Progress”.
 The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the 
end of the exit delay. 
3.  Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. The system will be armed in Away 
mode. If you do not exit the premises, the system will be armed in Stay mode.
NOTE: Pressing   will only arm the system. To disarm, you must enter a 
valid [access code]. See 
“Disarming Your Security System” on page 11.
“No Entry” 
ArmingIf you want to arm the system, and no one else will be entering, you can remove 
the entry delay from zones that normally have one. 
An entry through any zone will create an instant alarm.
1.  Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON)
2.  Press  , then your [access code]. 
 The Armed light flashes as a reminder that the system is armed and has 
no entry delay.

Automatic 
ArmingYour installer may have set up your system to arm at a pre-programmed time. If 
automatic arming has been programmed, when the system reaches the pro-
grammed auto-arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for one minute, and 
LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Arming in Progress”. 
During this one-minute warning time, you may be able to cancel or postpone 
auto-arming by entering your [access code]. Ask your installer for more informa-
tion.
Your installer may have set up the system so that users with a [master code] can 
control the auto-arm schedule at the keypad. If so, master users will be able to 
turn the auto-arming function on or off, and program the time at which the sys-
tem will auto-arm each day.
To turn automatic arming on or off:

(1 - 7) you want to program (e.g. for Sunday, press [1], for Friday press [6]).
4. Enter the auto-arm time using the 24Hr format (0000 - 2359). For example, to 
set the time for 1:00pm, enter (1300). To prevent auto-arming on a particular 
day, enter (9999) for the auto-arm time.
5. To program the time for another day, repeat steps 3-4. To exit programming, 
press  twice.
NOTE: The correct system time and date must be programmed in order for 
the auto arm feature to function properly. Please see
“Setting the Time and 
Date” on page 22. 
						

							Arming and Disarming Your System: Quick Exit
11
Quick ExitYour installer will tell you if the Quick Exit feature has been enabled on your sys-
tem. The quick exit feature will allow you to exit the premises while the system is 
armed, without having to disarm and then re-arm the system.
To use the quick exit feature:
1. While the system is armed, press  .
2. The system will start a two-minute count down, during which you may leave 
the premises through the entry/exit door. 
NOTE: During this time, you may only open and close the entry/exit door 
once. Once the door is closed the system will end the two-minute quick exit 
period. If the door is opened again, or is not closed before the two-minutes 
are up, or if another entry/exit door is opened, the entry delay will begin.
Exit Button
If your installer has programmed the “Exit” function button, press and hold the 
button for two seconds to activate the quick exit feature.
Disarming 
Your Security 
System1. If you are outside, enter the premises through a designated entry/exit door. If 
you are inside, go to step 2.
NOTE: Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm. 
The keypad beeps to indicate that you must disarm the system. LCD5500Z key-
pads display “Entry Active Enter Your Code”.
2.  Go to the keypad and enter your [access code]. The correct access code must 
be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is not 
entered during this time, the system will sound an alarm. 
NOTE: If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder 
buzzes steadily for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light turns OFF and the key-
pad stops beeping. 
If no alarms occurred while the system was armed and there are no trouble 
conditions present, LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Disarmed No 
Alarm Memory” for a few seconds, and then “Enter Code to Arm System”.
3. If an alarm occurred while the system was armed:
 PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads will flash the Memory indicator 
 LCD5500Z keypads will display “View Memory  “Zone of Alarm”. See 
“Viewing Alarms in Memory” on page 13.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you 
were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to 
a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities 
to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed, 
so any alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed 
period. 
						

							12
Section 3: Dealing With Alarms and 
Emergencies
If you return to the premises and the bell or siren is on - DO NOT ENTER.  
Contact local authorities from a nearby safe location.
Read this section carefully so that you will know what to do if your system goes 
into alarm. 
Your installer will tell you if fire detection equipment has been installed and 
enabled on your system. 
NOTE: A fire alarm always has priority over an intrusion (burglary) alarm.
Fire AlarmsA pulsing bell or siren indicates a fire alarm. If there is a fire, or if you are not 
sure, follow your evacuation plan immediately.
 (see “Fire Escape Planning” 
on page 24
.) 
If remote monitoring is enabled, the system will send a fire message to the central 
station. Your installer may have set up the keypad Fire keys and other fire equip-
ment to send a fire alarm message to the central station as soon as they are acti-
vated. Your installer may have set up other equipment (e.g. smoke detectors)  to 
have a 30 second delay before sending the alarm message to the central station. 
Your installer will inform you how the equipment on your system operates.
Equipment that has been set up with a 30 second delay (e.g. smoke detectors) 
gives you time to correct the problem before a false alarm is sent to the central 
station. 
NOTE: If you suspect that a fire message has been transmitted, but there is 
no fire condition, call the central station to avoid an unnecessary response.
If there is no fire condition, to silence the fire alarm:
1.  Press   within 30 seconds of the beginning of the alarm. The fire alarm will 
sound again if the smoke detector is not reset within 90 seconds. 
2.  To reset the smoke detectors, press  . After the smoke detector has 
been reset, if it still detects smoke the alarm will sound again. If there is no 
smoke, the system will return to normal.
3. To silence the fire alarm after the 30 second delay has expired, enter your 
[access code].
NOTE: Your installer may have programmed the system to operate differ-
ently than described above. Ask your installer for more information 
regarding your system’s operation. 
						

							Dealing With Alarms and Emergencies: Intrusion (Burglary) Alarms
13
Intrusion 
(Burglary) 
AlarmsA steady bell or siren indicates an intrusion alarm. 
To silence the alarm:
1. Enter your [access code]. 
2. If the alarm was unintentional, call your central station or local authorities 
immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.
3. Check the alarm memory display to see which zone caused the alarm.
Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will return to the 
Ready state. 
Viewing 
Alarms in 
MemoryThe alarm memory display shows you which zone (detector) caused the alarm. The 
alarm memory is cleared each time the system is armed. Any alarms showing on 
the system have occurred only during the last armed period.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you 
were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to 
a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities 
to investigate.
LCD5500Z Keypads
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, LCD5500Z keypads will display 
“View Memory  Zone X”.
1. Use the   keys to view which zone(s) caused the alarm. 
2. To cancel the alarm memory display, press  . 
LCD5501Z Keypads
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the Memory indicator will flash, 
and the keypad will scroll through the zones that were in alarm for 30 seconds 
after the system has been disarmed. 
1.  To cancel the alarm memory display, press   during the 30-second display.
2.  After the 30-second period is over, the system will return to the Ready state, 
but the Memory indicator will be ON. To view alarms in memory, press  . 
The display will scroll the numbers of the zone(s) that were in alarm.
PC55XXZ Keypads
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the Memory light and the zone 
light corresponding to the zone that caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds 
after the system has been disarmed. 
1.  To cancel the alarm memory display, press   during the 30-second display.
2.  After the 30-second period is over, the system will return to the Ready state, 
but the Memory light will be ON. To view alarms in memory, press  . The 
zone light(s) of the zone(s) that were in alarm will flash.
NOTE: Troubles will not display while the system is displaying alarms in 
memory.

Calling for 
Help All keypads have three pairs of emergency keys. Using these keys you can send an 
immediate Fire, Auxiliary or Panic message to your central station.
Press both   keys for two seconds to send a Fire message, and to trigger a 
fire alarm on the system.
Press both   keys for two seconds to send an Auxiliary message.
Press both   keys for two seconds to send a Panic message.
IMPORTANT:The Fire, Auxiliary and Panic keys will NOT function unless 
turned ON by the installer. If your installer has turned these keys ON, and 
enabled audible feedback, holding down the keys for two seconds will 
cause the keypad sounder to beep indicating that the alarm input has been 
accepted and transmission to the central station is underway.

Section 4: Using Advanced Functions
This section describes how to perform more specialized functions: bypassing 
zones, turning the door chime on or off, viewing the trouble display and event 
buffer, and testing your system. 
Bypassing 
ZonesUse the zone bypassing feature when you will need access to a protected area 
while the system is armed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service, but you 
need to arm the system. 
Bypassed zones will not be able to sound an alarm. 
Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a zone because 
it is not working, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be 
resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Make sure that no 
zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system.
Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automat-
ically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if 
required, before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer has programmed the system to 
prevent you from bypassing certain zones (e.g. smoke detectors).
Bypassing Zones with an LCD5500Z keypad
Start with the system disarmed. 
1. Press   to enter the function menu. The keypad will display “Press [*] for < > 
Zone Bypass”.
2.  Press   OR  , then your [access code] (if required). The keypad will display 
“Zone Search < > “Zone Name””.
3. Enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed (01-64). 
You can also use the   keys to find the zone to be bypassed, and then 
press   to select the zone. 
The keypad will display “Zone Search < > “Zone Name”. “B” will appear on 
the display to show that the zone is bypassed. 
If a zone is open (e.g. door with door contact is open), the keypad will display 
“Zone Search < > “Zone Name” O”. If you bypass the open zone, a “B” will 
replace the “O”.
4. To unbypass a zone, enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed 
(01-64). 
You can also use the   keys to find the zone, and then press   to select 
the zone. 
The “B” will disappear from the display to show that the zone is no longer 
bypassed.
5. To exit bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press  . 
						

							16Bypassing Zones with a PC55XXZ or LCD5501Z keypad
Start with the system disarmed. 
1. Press  , then your [access code] (if required).
2. Enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed (01-64). On PC55XXZ 
keypads, the zone light will turn on to indicate that the zone is bypassed.
3. To unbypass a zone, enter the two-digit number of the zone (01-64). On 
PC55XXZ keypads, the zone light will turn off to indicate that the zone is not 
bypassed.
4. To exit bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press  .

Bypassed 
ZonesTo recall the last set of bypassed zones:
1. Press  , then your [access code] (if necessary).
2. Press . 
3. To exit bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press  .
Bypass 
GroupsA Bypass Group is a selection of zones programmed into the system. If you bypass 
a group of zones on a regular basis, you can program them into the Bypass Group, 
so that you do not have to bypass each zone individually every time. One Bypass 
Group can be programmed on each partition.
To program a Bypass Group:
1. Press  , then your [access code] (if necessary). 
2. Enter the two-digit number (01-64) of the zones to be included in the Bypass 
Group. On LCD5500Z keypads, you can also use the   keys to find the 
zone to be included in the bypass group, and then press   to select the zone. 
3. To save the selected zone into the group, press  . 
4. To exit bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press  .
To select a Bypass Group when arming the system:
1. Press  , then your [access code] (if necessary).
2. Press  . The next time the system is armed, the zones in this group will be 
bypassed.
3. To exit bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press  .
