DSC Power Series PC1616 PC1832 PC1864 System Manual
System Overview
General
Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement.
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group of zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/exit door(s).
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
- Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
- For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions.
Arm & Disarm the System
Arming (Turning On/Setting)
Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready (checkmark) indicator should be on.
To arm, press and hold the Away key for two seconds and/or enter your Access Code, or press [*][0] to Quick Arm. During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed (lock) and Ready (checkmark) indicators will turn on, and the keypad will sound one beep per second. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access code.
Away Arming (Turned On/Set)
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad as follows: the Ready (checkmark) indicator will turn off, the Armed indicator will remain on and the keypad will stop sounding.
Quick Exit
If the system is armed and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and rearming the system. Press and hold the [EXIT] key for two seconds or press [*][0]. You now have two minutes to leave the premises through your exit door. When the door is closed again, the remaining exit time is canceled.
Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs:
- Re-enter the premises.
- Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer expires.
- Follow the Away Arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready to arm (i.e., sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all sensors are secure, press [*] and try again.
Disarming (Turning Off /Unsetting)
Enter your access code to disarm anytime the system is armed (i.e., the Armed (lock) indicator is on). The keypad will beep if you walk through the entry door. Enter your code within the allotted time to avoid an alarm condition (please check with your installer to have this time programmed).
Disarming Error
If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this happens, press [#] and try again.
Stay Arming (Partially Turning On / Part Setting)
Stay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e., motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the system (i.e., doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready (checkmark) indicator should be on. Ask your alarm company if this function is available on your system.
Press and hold the Stay key for 2 seconds and/or enter your Access Code and do not leave the premises (if your installer has programmed this button). During the setting state (exit delay active), the Armed (lock) and Ready (checkmark) indicators will turn on, and the keypad will sound one beep every three seconds.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad as follows: the Ready (checkmark) indicator will turn off, the Armed (lock) indicator will remain on and the keypad will stop sounding. The Armed (lock) indicator and Bypass or System indicator will turn on. The system will automatically bypass certain interior sensors (i.e., motion sensors).
Note: For SIA FAR listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away Arming Exit Delay.
Night Arming
To fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press [*][1] at any keypad. All interior zones will now be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones.
Night zones are only armed in Away mode. This permits limited movement within the premises when the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying zones programmed as night zones.
When the interior zones have been activated (i.e., [*][1] you must enter your access code to disarm the system to gain access to interior areas that have not been programmed as night zones.
Silent Exit Delay
If the system is armed using the Stay button (Programmable Function Key) or using the "No Entry" Arming method ( [access code]), the audible progress annunciation (keypad buzzer) will be silenced and the exit time will be doubled for that exit period only.
Remote Arming and Disarming
The system can be armed and/or disarmed using the remote control device (wireless key) model DSC WS4939. When arming the system by using the Arm button on the wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell squawk. When disarming using the Disarm button on the wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell squawks that can be heard from the exterior of the premises.
Bypassing Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you 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. Ensure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system.
Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically canceled 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).

The minimum number of variations of access codes (key) is 27027 when 37, 6-digit user codes are used. For SIA Installations, duplicate or duress codes derived from user codes +/- 1 digit are not allowed.
The access codes have programmable attributes which allow zone bypassing, remote access using the ESCORT5580TC or one-time use activation.
Access Codes
[*][5][Master Code] (when disarmed)
The [*][5] User’s Programming command is used to program additional access codes.
- User Codes (Access Codes 1-32)
- Master Code (Access Code 40) - The Master Code can only be changed by the Installer, if programmed.
- Supervisor Codes (Access Codes 41 & 42) - These codes are always valid when entering the User Code Programming section. However, these codes can only program additional codes which have equal or lesser attributes. Once programmed, the Supervisor Codes receive the Master Code’s attributes. These attributes are changeable.
- Duress Codes (Access Codes 33 & 34) - Duress codes 33 and 34 are standard User Codes that will transmit the Duress Reporting Code whenever the code is entered to perform any function on the system.
Note: Duress codes are not valid when entering [*][5], [*][6] or [*][8] sections. No codes can be programmed as a duplicate of another code. Duress codes cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a “Code + 1”.
User Code Attributes
The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter [*][5] whether it is a new code or an existing code being programmed. System Master (Code 40) has Partition Access for all partitions, as well as Attributes 3-4 ON by default.
Note: These attributes are not changeable.
Inherent Attributes (all codes except installer and maintenance)
Arm/Disarm - Any Access Code with Partition Access enabled will be valid for arming and disarming that partition.
Command Outputs([*][7][1], [*][7][2], [*][7][3], and [*][7][4]) - If these outputs require Access Code entry, any Access Code with Partition Access will be valid for performing the [*][7][1-4][Access Code] functions on that partition.
Programmable Attributes ([*][5][Master/Supervisor Code][9][Code]).
- For Future Use
- For Future Use
- Zone Bypassing Enabled
- ESCORT Access
- Downlook Remote Trigger to Phone Number 1
- Downlook Remote Trigger to Phone Number 2
- Bell Squawk upon Arming/Disarming
- One Time Use Code
Note: Attributes 5 and 6 cannot be enabled on the same access code.
Bell Squawk Attribute
This attribute is used to determine whether an access code should generate an arming/disarming Bell Squawk upon entry of the code for Away arming. The Wireless Keys with access codes associated with them may generate Arming/Disarming Bell squawks. If desired, this option may be used with codes that are manually entered. Please contact your installer to have this programmed.
Note: The Master Code cannot use the Bell Squawk attribute, but is required to enable it for other codes. This feature cannot prevent the Arm/Disarming squawks from being generated if an access code assigned to a WLS Key is manually entered at a keypad.
Partition Assignment Mask
In order to accommodate Access Code Partition Assignment for the multiple partitions found on this product the user must enter [*][5][Master Code][8][Code number to be change] (ex. [*][5][1234][8][Code 03]. Under this section, each bit represents the corresponding partition’s access (i.e. Bit 4 represents Partition 4 access).
The Master Code has access to all partitions, and cannot be modified.

- [*][5][MASTER CODE][9] Enters the Attribute Mode [01 to 32, 33, 34, 41, 42] to edit access code Attributes
- The Master Code’s attributes cannot be changed.
- When a new code is programmed in [*][5] it will be checked against all other codes in the system. If a duplicate code is found, an error tone is given and the code is returned to what it was before it was changed. This applies to both 4 and 6-digit codes.
Erasing an Access Code
To erase a code, select the code and enter [*] as the first digit. If [*] is entered, the system will delete the code immediately and the user will be returned to select another code.
User Function Commands
First disarm the system then enter [*][6][Master Code]. The[*][6] command is used to gain access to the following list of Master functions of the system.
- Time and Date - Enter four digits for 24 Hour System Time (HH-MM). Valid entries are 00-23 for the hour and 00-59 for minutes. Enter six digits for the Month, Day and Year (MM-DD-YY).
- Auto-Arm Control - Pressing [2] while in the User Function menu will enable (three beeps) or disable (one long beep) the Auto-arm feature, by partition. With this feature enabled, the panel will automatically arm in the Away mode (Stay Away zones active) at the same time each day. The auto-arm time is programmed with the [*][6][Master Code][3] command.
- Auto-Arm Time - The system can be programmed to arm at a programmed time each day, per partition.
Upon entry of this section, enter 4 digits for the 24-hour Auto-arm time for each day of the week.
At the selected auto-arm time, the keypad buzzers will sound for a programmed amount of time (programmable by the installer only) to warn that an auto-arm is in progress. The bell can also be programmed to squawk once every 10 seconds during this warning period. When the warning period is complete, the system will arm with no exit delay and in the Away Mode.
Auto-arming can be canceled or postponed by entering a valid access code only, during the programmed warning period. Auto-arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. When the auto-arming process is canceled or postponed, the Auto-arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be transmitted (if programmed).
If arming is inhibited by one of the following, the Auto-arm Cancellation transmission will be communicated.- AC / DC Inhibit Arm
- Latching System Tampers
- Zone Expander Supervisory Fault
- System Test - The system’s Bell Output (2s), Keypad Lights and Communicator are tested.
- Enable DLS/Allow System Service - If enabled, the installer will be able to access Installer Programming by DLS. In case of DLS access this provides a window where rings will be detected by the panel. The DLS window will remain open for six hours, during which time the installer will be able to enter DLS an unlimited number of times. After the six-hour window has expired, Installer’s Programming will be unavailable again until the window is re-opened.
- User Call-Up - If enabled by the Installer, the panel will make 1 attempt to call the downloading computer. The downloading computer must be waiting for the panel to call before downloading can be performed.
- Music Input On/Off - If enabled on the PC5936 Audio Interface Module, the user can turn Background Music on or off.
- User Walk Test (For Europe only) - This test allows the user to verify operation of system detectors and notifies the ADT Monitoring Centers that a Walk Test is in progress.
Note: Fire zones, the [F] key, and 2-wire Smoke detectors are excluded from this test. Violation of these zones will cause the system to exit the walk test then generate and transmit alarm condition to the ADT Monitoring Centers.
- Press [*][6][8] to enable Walk Test. The system will notify the ADT Monitoring Centers that a walk test has begun.
- Violate all each detector (zone) in sequence. A squawk will occur at the keypad and the violation will be recorded in the Event Buffer.
- Restore zones. Press [*][6][8] to end the Walk Test. The system will notify the ADT Monitoring Centers that the walk test has been terminated.
Note: If a zone is not violated within 15 minutes of activating the Walk Test, the system will automatically exit the Walk Test and resume normal operation.
