INTRODUCTION

The PC4020CF is a highly flexible and versatile control which will enable the installer to meet the most demanding security requirements. The heart of the system is the main control panel, designated the PC4020, which is connected to other system elements using common 4 conductor unshielded station wire. The main panel processes signal information and communicating with the monitoring station. The main panel is capable of supervising 16 zones, any of which may be defined for fire or burglary applications and also manages up to eight separate and fully independent partitions, assigning zones and their controlling keypads in accordance with installer programming.

The basic 16 zone capability of the PC4020 can be expanded using either PC4108, PC4116 or PC4164 modules which provide 8, 16 or 64 zones of additional inputs respectively up to a system maximum of 128 zones.

The PC4108 and PC4116 are designed for use within any of the cabinets and are shipped as PC boards only. The

PC4164 is designed to be placed inside the supplied cabinet.

Programming and system operation are carried out using the LCD4500 liquid crystal display keypad. The LCD4500 connects at any point in the system to the four wire communication bus or “COMBUS”, its specific identification being determined automatically in the process of installing it. A maximum of 16 LCD4500 keypads may be used on any one system regardless of size.

The PC4204 relay output module is available for installations requiring additional power beyond the 500 mA supplied by the PC4020 main panel. This module comprises a 12 volt DC power supply of 1.5 Amp capacity and four 12 volt relays with form C contacts which will provide switched outputs under any of the 35 options available in the list of programmable outputs. The PC4204 connects to the COMBUS via four wires as with other system elements. It requires a 16 -18 volt, 40 VA transformer and a 12 volt battery. Up to 16 PC4204 modules may be installed on any one system. The

PC4204 is shipped as a PC board only.

The use of any power source other than a PC4204 to repower the COMBUS will result in a system malfunction.

The PC4216 low current module provides 16 separate outputs. Each output may be programmed to operate under the control of 1 of 35 options as listed in the programmable options section of the installation manual.

Up to 8 other PC4216’s may be used to provide outputs for graphic annunciator or similar devices for the maximum of 128 zones. The PC4216 connects to the

COMBUS with four wires. A maximum of 9 PC4216’s may be connected to a system. The PC4216 may be installed in the main cabinet or in other cabinet options and is shipped as a board only.

The PC4020 includes the capability of driving a serial printer using a PC4400 RS232 output module. The

PC4400 connects to the COMBUS with four wires. The printer may be located up to 200 feet (60 meters) away from the module. The PC4400 is shipped as a board only.

INSTALLATION

AND WIRING

When designing a security system with the PC4020 that will be larger than 16 zones or have two or more Partitions it is best to first lay out the system on paper. This will help determine the total number of zones, additional expansion and power supply modules and other system elements that may be needed.

When the location of all points of protection is known the location of the zone expanders can be made. You will find that working from a plan, a layout will reveal the most economical use of system modules; two eight zone expansion modules instead of one sixteen zone, for example, can save long wire runs because of the location of zones.

The plan will also enable you to make the most efficient layout for the communications bus (COMBUS). This is the four conductor cable which can be standard station wire

(four 22 AWG wires colour coded red, black , yellow and green) to which all system modules are connected in parallel. It is not necessary to run the COMBUS in shield unless it is being run through an area of high electrical noise.

The COMBUS may be up to 2,500 ft (750 m) from the main board to the farthest module, with any number of modules in between. More than one COMBUS of 2,500 ft (750 m) can run from the PC4020.

Note: Do not use shielded cable for COMBUS wire runs.

Suggested Wiring Procedure

The first step in designing a PC4020 installation is developing a system layout on paper. Doing this will allow you to work from a plan and help to avoid making mistakes and make programming easier.

Creating a System Layout

Draw a rough sketch of the building(s) layout in the installation including the interior walls. Indicate on the diagram the location of the PC4020 main panel. The panel should be in a dry, secure location close to a non switched AC source, a ground connection and a telephone line connection.

Indicate on the diagram the location of all zones as well as the device required such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, door contacts etc.

If using the PC4700 Fire Module, indicate on the diagram the location of the smoke detectors which will be 2 wire and the locations of the waterflow detector.

NOTE: The fire module is located in the Main

Cabinet with the control panel. Be sure to indicate the location of the Bell output.

Zones may be grouped together into partitions.

Knowing the zone number of each zone will allow the partition setup done without mistakes. Locate any zone expansion modules (PC4108 or PC4116) required close to groups of zones for easier wiring.

Decide on the order to enroll the expansion modules.

The first 16 zones (1 through 16) are on the main panel. As each module is enrolled it will be assigned in sequence the next available group of zones. If an 8 zone module (PC4108) was enrolled first, it would be assigned zones 17 through 24. If then a 16 zone expansion module (PC4116) is enrolled it would be assigned zones 25 through 40.

Once the order to enroll the expansion modules has been determined, number each zone accordingly.

The PC4700 Fire Module zones (2 wire smoke detector loop and a 4 wire waterflow loop) are system zones

(zone which Belong to all partitions) a detector should be place in each partition to allow for the most effective use of the module.

Indicate each partition by boxing the area of the partition on the diagram. From this diagram it can be quickly determined which zones belong to that partition.

Determine the number of keypads (LCD4500) required for each partition and their location on the system. The maximum number of keypads on a system is 16. Each keypad on the system assigned to a partition can only be used to operate that partition. (EXCEPTION - A

System Master or a multi-partition access code can access any partition that the code is assigned to from any keypad). Indicate on the diagram the location and the partition each keypad will be assigned to.

After the number of zones, keypads, and their locations, expansion modules and separately controlled systems (partitions) have been determined, decide other modules required to complete the installation.

Siren outputs can be programmed to activate if one or more partition goes into alarm. The main panel provides one output (The Main Bell Output).

Additional outputs can be obtained from the PC4204 power supply/relay output module(s). Each PC4204 module has 4 form “C” relays, the last 3 of which can be used as any one of the 28 output options (See PGM

Output List). Indicate on the diagram the location of each of the sirens, and the location of the PC4204 module(s).

The PC4216 module provides up to 16 programmable outputs. Each output can be programmed for 28 different options (See PGM Output List). It is also used to display zones/status on a graphic annunciator. Each of the 9 PC4216 modules is capable of being programmed in any of the 25 available ways indicating the location of the PC4216 and the module number and also be programmed as custom groups with the

28 options available.

See “PC4216 OPTIONS” for a list of the programming options.

Indicate the location of RS-232 printer module

(PC4400) on the diagram. The PC4400 provides serial output to an on-site printer that will record the identity of the system, description of the occurrence (alarm, trouble etc.) by user, with date and time stamp.

Mount the cabinet, panel (See “Mounting The Panel”) and prepare the wires for connection to the panel.

If a power supply other than a PC4204 was used, the module would never power down, never reset, and the module will stay off line requiring the attention of service personnel.

CAUTION: When used to power a module, the “RLY 1

COM” terminal of the PC4204 must be connected to the “RED COMBUS” terminal of the module only. The positive (RED) conductor of the COMBUS must be left unconnected to the module that is powered by the

PC4204. The “BLK COMBUS” of the module should be run common to the negative (“BLK”) of the COMBUS.

Use of a power source other than the PC4204 power supply module to supply additional power to the

PC4020 system is not recommended.

The COMBUS is a four conductor cable to which all modules and keypads are connected in parallel.

Connections to the COMBUS do not have to be home-run.

For example if a storage building had an 8 zone expander

(PC4108) and a keypad (LCD4500 ) located in it, the zone expander and keypad could be spliced together and run back on a single 4 wire cable to the nearest point on the

COMBUS.

COMBUS Power and Operation

The PC4020 main board can provide up to 500 mA to power modules, keypads and devices. A PC4204 power module is required when additional current is needed either for powering detection devices or operating bells and sirens. The PC4204 requires its own transformer and battery and can provide up to 1.5A at 12 V

. Four relays on the module provide form C switched outputs with contact ratings of 3 amps @ 12 V

(10 amps @ 120 VAC) for a variety of programmable options. When used to repower the COMBUS the PC4204 must be wired in accordance with the instructions supplied with the unit.

Use of a power source other than the PC4204 power supply module to supply additional power to the PC4020 system is not recommended for the following reasons:

If the main panel loses communications with a module, within a maximum of 30 seconds the panel will perform a system reset in which power to the COMBUS is removed.

Five seconds later power is reapplied and the panel will attempt to communicate with the module. If the panel is unsuccessful communicating with the module it will display and report a COMBUS communications fault.

When the main panel performs a reset, relay 1 when programmed for “COMBUS POWER” will open. This will disconnect the power supplied to the modules, resetting them so that communications to the main panel are reinitialized.

For example, if the microprocessor on the module has been scrambled due to a transient, the PC4020 will power down the COMBUS, the PC4204 will mimic the PC4020 and cut off its power supply to the module. The module will be powered down. When the PC4020 returns power to the COMBUS, the PC4204 will reconnect its power supply, and the power to the module will return. Because the module was powered down and powered up, the module is now reset, and can communicate with the PC4020.

Testing The Combus

To test the Combus for a low voltage condition, connect all devices to the system (include any motion dectectors, glass break detectors, etc.) and enroll each of the modules. Exit installers mode and allow the system to run normally for 5 -10 minutes. This will allow time for any modules that may have battery troubles time to report. If after this time there are any battery troubles be sure that the batteries are "good" by disconnecting the suspect battery and placing a voltage meter accross the battery leads (of the module); the output voltage should be

13.85V. If the voltage is good then check the battery

(under load), even if the battery is under a load the voltage should still be above 12.0V. Once all (if any) battery troubles have been taken care of, be sure that there are no Combus Low Voltage troubles. If there are locate the modules with the low voltage troubles by entering Installers Mode and selecting Diagnostics. Refer to Appendix B for the List of Diagnostics. Once the module(s) have been isolated a PC4204 will be required to increase the power to be module with the low voltage trouble. Now that all trouble have been taken care of the next step is to remove AC power from all modules and allow the panel to run for 10 - 15 minutes on battery power alone. If there are any Combus Low Voltage troubles a

PC4204 Combus repower module may be required at the

Low voltage location to insure proper system operation.

Repeat this test as required.

Connecting the Toroid

Place the free end of the COMBUS through the centre of the supplied toroid, wrap the end through the toroid 4 times. Make sure that toroid is no more than 4" (102mm) from the control panel. If there is more than one COMBUS lead to be connected to the control panel loop the line through the same toroid in the manner described above.

(See diagram on page 10.)

Mounting the Panel

Select a dry location close to an unswitched AC source, a ground connection and a telephone connection for mounting the Main Control Cabinet.

Remove the PC4020 printed circuit board, mounting hardware, and keypad from the cardboard retainer inside the large cabinet. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall, press the five white nylon printed circuit board mounting studs into the cabinet from the back.

Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board to the back of the cabinet. Press the circuit board down onto the mounting studs.

There is room in the Main Control Cabinet (PC4001C) for any two modules (PC4108, PC4116, PC4216 or PC4400).

Modules requiring power (AC and battery PC4204) must be installed in the large Expander Cabinet (PC4002C).

This enclosure will accommodate one module (PC4108,

PC4116, PC4216 or PC4400) and a powered output

(PC4204) or any three modules. A small Expander

Cabinet (PC4003C) is available for a single module that does not require external power.

Once the wiring is completed power the system up by first connecting the battery followed by the AC transformer. All

LCD4500 keypads should display the message ‘LCD4500

DSC Ltd.’. Press a key on any keypad that is to be assigned to Partition 1. The keypad will beep and display the message ‘4500 Mod. #1' and the keypad is automatically assigned to Partition 1.

Enroll every module to the system. Make sure you put down the number of each module enrolled. Refer to the

Programming Manual for the required procedure.

When enrolling any PC4108 or PC4116 zone expander module make sure to note the zones which you assigned to the module.

This information is very important if it becomes necessary to Add or Delete zones to or from a Partition. Zones 1 through 16 are assigned to Partition 1 by default. This can be changed later in Installer Programming.

In Book 4 (Programming Work Sheets) you will find a

System Overview section. Fill in the information as each module is enrolled. These sheets are designed to be left in the panel so if future service is required, the location and assigned number of each module will be readily available.

Once all modules are enrolled perform a diagnostics check on the panel to determine if any problems are present (see “Diagnostics”).

Programming the System

The PC4020 has the capability to operate as 8 separate alarm systems called Partitions. Dividing the panel into

Partitions will allow you to control access to specific areas.

When the PC4020 is first powered up all zones on the main board and User Codes are assigned to Partition 1. If no other Partitions are required the entire system will be considered Partition 1. This is important to keep in mind as often in programming the panel will require you to enter the Partition to program.

For example, when programming entry and exit times, you must select the menu option ‘ADD/EDIT PAR’. The keypad will then prompt you for the Partition to add or edit. You must select Partition 1 for a system that has no additional

Partitions.

The factory default setting for all options is provided in the

Programming Work Sheets as well as programming

‘HOTKEYS’ for the option to allow quick programming.

Complete the Programming Work Sheets located in Book

4. Having this information prepared before programming the panel will speed up the process considerably.

All information for the panel may be entered in the

Programming Work Sheets.

Any zone expanders on the system will include a similar sheet and the information should be completed for these as well.

There is no set order in which the panel must be programmed, however, if you use the following guideline it may simplify the programming of the panel for the first time.

Step 1 - Define all Partitions

When the panel is first powered up the 16 zones on the main panel are assigned to Partition 1. Additional zone expanders enrolled to the system are NOT assigned to any Partition.

Any zones from 1 through 16 that are required on a different Partition must be DELETED from Partition 1 before they are ADDED to another Partition. Any zones above Zone 16 must be ADDED to the proper Partition.

See “Zone Assignment” in the Programming Manual (Book

3) for the procedure to add and delete zones.

When you ADD each zone to the proper Partition it will save time if you also program the Zone Label, Zone Type and Zone Options. All of this information may be entered in the Programming Work Sheets located in Book 4 and in the programming work sheet included with each Zone

Expansion module.

Note: Do not program any of the system outputs until all partitions have been added to the system. All output types that are selectable by partition will only allow the choice of enabled parts.

Step 2 - Program the System

Now that the Partitions have been defined and zones programmed, you are ready to program the rest of the system. It is best to follow the Programming Work Sheets starting at the beginning and carefully programming each section. Having the required information entered ahead of time will speed up this process considerably.

Once the Installer Programming is complete you can program user functions ([✱][6][Master Code]). Next, features on each partition can be enabled. Go to a keypad assigned to the desired partition and enable the features through [✱][6][Master Code] commands.

Step 3 - Program user Codes

From default the PC4020 comes with one user code assigned as a Grand Master Code (‘1234’ for 4 digit option, or ‘123456’ for 6 digit option). The other 127 user codes, 4 digit or 6 digit, may be programmed by entering

User Programming Commands ([✱][5][Access Code]).

See ‘Programming Additional Access Codes Using a

System Master Code or a Supervisory Code’ section in this manual.

Step 4 - Testing the System

See “Bell/Comm Test” under [✱][6] User Functions or do the following. Contact the monitoring station to request a transmission test. Plug the telephone cord into the RJ31-X jack. If a DTS-1 is being used to monitor communicator transmissions, connect it to the telephone line and place the DTS-1 in the line mode by pressing the red “LINE/

LOCAL” button. Arm the panel, wait for the exit delay to expire and trip a detector on an instant circuit. Wait for the communication to complete. Disarm the panel and check with the monitoring station to confirm acceptance of the transmission. Perform additional transmissions required by the monitoring station.

Check the “TROUBLE” light on the keypad. If it is on, press [✱] then [2] to determine the trouble. The “Trouble

Display” section in “Keypad Functions” gives a description of the different trouble conditions.

Step 5 - Instructing the End User

Describe system operation to authorized users.

Provide user with the instruction manual and instruct them to read it to become familiar with the system operation.

Instruct the user to test the system on a regular basis as described in the Instruction Manual. The Master Code should be changed from the default setting and recorded.

There is a wide range of possible uses for the [✱][4] and

[✱][7] commands which are not described in the instruction manual. Be sure to explain the functions of the

[✱][4] Sensor Reset and the [✱][7] Utility Output to the user if they are incorporated into the system.

Hardware Reset of Memory to Factory

Defaults

If the Installer’s Code is lost through inadvertent programming, the only means of reprogramming the system is by a hardware reset. If the Installer’s Lockout is enabled, there is no way to reprogram the system without entering the correct Ianstaller’s Code.

The PC4020 can also be reset through software in the installer’s programming. See “Factory Default” in the

Programming Guide.

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.

To reset the panel to factory default conditions:

1.Power the system down by removing both AC and battery power to the main panel.

2.Short the zone 1 terminal and the PGM terminal on the main panel.

3.Restore power to the main panel.

4.Wait for 20 seconds then remove the short between the PGM and zone 1.

5.The system will have reloaded the memory with factory defaults. All modules will have to be enrolled again. The event buffer is the only part of memory that is retained during a factory default.

TERMINAL

CONNECTIONS

This “Terminal Connections” section only refers to the main board of the PC4020CF system. Other connections are shown in the module wiring diagrams.

“AC” Power Terminals

Use the transformer provided with the unit to supply AC power to the PC4020. The transformer should not be connected to an outlet that is controlled by a switch. If AC failure occurs, it will be displayed as a trouble on the keypad (see “Keypad Commands, [✱][2] Trouble

Conditions”). It can also be transmitted to the monitoring station as a trouble condition (see “Programming

Manual”).

Auxiliary Power Terminals “AUX” and

“GND”

The auxiliary power supply can be used to power motion detectors and other 12 V

devices. The “AUX” (positive) and “GND” (negative) terminals provide 120 mA when the

PC4020 is used with one keypad. For each additional keypad the auxiliary supply rating must be reduced by 25 mA (maximum current draw is 55 mA). The auxiliary supply is fused at 1 amp and a Main Aux Trouble

Reporting Code can be transmitted if the fuse fails. (See

“Programming Manual”.)

Switched Auxiliary Power Terminals

“SW AUX” and “GND”

The “SW AUX” terminal is positive while the “GND” terminal is negative. The 500 mA auxiliary supply rating must be reduced by any current taken from the switched auxiliary supply which shares the same fuse as the auxiliary supply. This output is fully programmable, but is most commonly used with the “Sensor Reset” option, allowing the user to control the switch from the keypad.

(See “Sensor Reset”.)

Bell/Siren Terminals

“BELL +” and “BELL -”

These terminals are for powering bells or other devices requiring a steady output voltage on alarm. The bell output is fused for 5 amps. When connecting sirens

(speakers with siren driver already built-in), be sure to observe the correct polarity. Connect the positive lead to the “BELL +” terminal and the negative lead to the “BELL

-” terminal.

If no siren or bell is used, connect a 1000 ohm resistor

(brown, black, red and gold) between “BELL +” and

“BELL -”.

Programmable Output Terminal “PGM ”

The operation of the Programmable Output depends upon which option is selected in the programming table. See the Programming Manual for a list of options for the “PGM” output. The “PGM” is a 3A (maximum) switch to ground. A small relay, a buzzer or other DC operated device may be connected between the “AUX” (positive) terminal and the

“PGM” (switched negative) terminal to interface with controlled devices.

COMBUS Terminals

“R ED ”, “B L K”, “Y E L” a n d “ G R N”

Connect the red wire of the COMBUS to the “RED” terminal, the black wire to the “BLK” terminal, the yellow wire to the “YEL” terminal and the green wire to the “GRN” terminal. The COMBUS is wired in the same manner on all modules. The COMBUS is used by the main panel to communicate with and supply power to the modules.

The COMBUS power supply terminals are fused electronically. COMBUS cabling must be connected to the control with a toroid as shown in the COMBUS Connection diagram.

Note: When connecting modules to the COMBUS the system must not be powered.

Zone Input Terminals “Z1” to “Z16”

Zone inputs “Z1” to “Z16” can be supervised End of Line

(E.O.L.) resistor circuits, Double EOL circuits or normally closed loops. If E.O.L. are used, each input must be terminated with a 5600 ohm E.O.L. resistor (green, blue, red and gold). An alarm condition will be created if a normally open contact is used to short across the E.O.L.

resistor. A trouble is created if normally closed contacts, wired in series with the E.O.L. resistor, are opened. See

“Zones E.O.L.” in the Programming Manual. See the wiring diagram for normally open and normally closed contact connections.

If Double EOL circuits are being used, all zones will use

Double EOL resistors, except Standard Fire zones, Auto

Verify Fire zones, Delay Fire Zones, Links Supervisory

Zones, Links Answer, and Forced Answer zones. These zones must only be connected using the EOL resistor.

Double EOL resistors allows the zone to be capable of detecting zone tampers. The tamper resistor (5600 Ohm) is placed across the alarm activating device, and the single EOL resistor (5600 Ohm) is placed between the alarm contact and the tamper contacts. This configuration will allow the panel to detect Zone faults (zone shorted) , zone tampers (open zone), open zones (alarm condition of 11200 Ohms), and restored zones (5600 Ohms).

If the zone is disarmed and the tamper (open) or fault

(short) condition is tripped a buzzer will sound from all partition keypads for the length of Bell Time Out or until an access code is entered. A zone tamper will be sent to the monitoring station if programmed. See Reporting Codes for details.

If the zone is armed and the tamper is activated, it will transmit and log both the tamper alarm and the zone alarm. There will be no buzzer sounded if the zone is armed (unless the zone is programmed as a 24 hour buzzer zone). See the “Control Panel Wiring Diagram” for detail on the hookup procedure.

The type of circuit or zone definition (delay, instant, 24 hour, silent, audible, etc.) is programmed from the keypad using the installers programming commands.

Telephone Terminals

“T I P ”, “R N G ”, “ T-1” a n d “R-1”

The wires from the RJ31-X telephone jack are connected to these terminals in the following way.

Note: For proper operation, there must be no other telephone equipment connected between the control panel and the telephone company’s facilities.

Ensure that plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance and metallic plating requirements of 47

C.F.R. Part 68 Subpart F.

Battery Connections

Do not connect the battery or the transformer until the wiring is complete. Connect the red battery lead to the positive battery terminal and the black lead to the negative battery terminal. If the connection is reversed the battery fuse will blow.

SYSTEM

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

Many of the functions in the PC4020 have limited access so that only certain users may have control of special functions. The installer can program the 2nd Master Code to enable it and have access to the entire panel’s operations the same as the Grand Master.

• System Master Code users can have access to all enduser options.

• Supervisory Code users can have access to options related to their partition.

• All other types of users have options available to them for their partitions.

All of the above mentioned keypad functions are listed in the following pages.

Introduction

The LCD4500 remote keypad provides complete information and control of the PC4020 control panel.

• The panel can be fully programmed from any keypad.

• The LCD display provides alarm and status indication for the alarm circuits as well as guiding the user in operating the system.

• The built-in buzzer lets the user hear correct key entries and other alert signals.

• The 12 digit keypad is used for code entry and other programming functions. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.

The keypad is normally in the arm-disarm mode. In this condition, the LCD message indicates the status of the system. The “Enter Code to Arm System” message comes on when all zones are closed. The system can be directed to perform other functions such as zone bypassing, displaying trouble conditions, displaying alarm memory and programming by entering one of the various [✱] commands described below. Pressing the [#] key or not making any key entry for 2 minutes always returns the keypad to the arm-disarm mode.

Access Codes

An access code is a 4 or 6 digit (optional) number which will permit access to the system, i.e. Arm/Disarm control,

Installer’s Programming etc. User access codes are programmed in the User Programming section [✱][5]. The default access code is ‘1234’ for 4 digit option, and

‘123456’ for 6 digit option. See ‘User Programming

Commands’ for details on programming access codes.

Global Keypads

What is a Global Keypad?

A global keypad is a keypad which belongs to all partitions and may be accessed by all users on the system with valid access codes. The keypad will prompt the user to select the partition to edit, the keypad is then “loaned” to the partition selected by the user. The user can only access partitions which his/her code is assigned to.

Why should a Global Keypad be used?

Global keypads allow the entire system to be controlled by one keypad. This is beneficial if the keypad is to be located in a central area, for example, the lobby of an office building where the zones are common to all partitions and each office contains individual zones.

How to create a Global Keypad?

The global keypad may be any keypad on the system. The first keypad on the system is enrolled as a Partition 1 keypad.

It may be made into a global keypad by selecting the option,

“KYPD #1 Global” found in the system toggle options of

Installers Mode. If multiple partitions are enabled on the system this will assign the keypad to all active partitions.

When the next keypad is enrolled onto the system the keypad will prompt with the message “Select (01) < >”, options 01 - 08 are the usual partition assignments, the last option (09) is “Global Keypad”.

Partitions

The PC4020 can have up to 128 zones. These zones can be divided by the installer into 8 separate partitions, that can be armed and disarmed separately. Zones can be assigned to more than one partition. Keypads can be individually assigned as a global keypad or to a specific partition. More than one keypad can be global, or can be assigned to each partition. User codes can be enabled to work on one or multiple partitions in the access code partition mask. System Master codes can arm and disarm any partition from any keypad. The default setting for the

PC4020 has only partition 1 enabled with zones 1 to 16 assigned to it. To enable more partitions, enter the

Partition Area menu of the Installer’s Programming section, and select to add/edit the partition to be enabled.

How to use a Global Keypad?

The default message displayed on the keypad is “Enter

Your Access Code”, or the clock display if the option is enabled. From this state any user entering a valid access code may access the system.

The global keypad will display message

ENTER YOUR

ACCESS CODE

or will be the clock display if the option is enabled. From this state any user with a valid access code may access the system. The system can be directed to perform functions such as arming/disarming and all [✱] mode functions. No function can be performed without first entering a valid access code.

Installer’s Programming Code

A default installer’s programming code “4020” is programmed into the PC4020. This code is used with the

[✱][8] command by the installer to gain access to the system in order to enter panel or communicator program information. The installer’s program code may be changed by the installer.

Arming

Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by motion detectors.

The “Enter Code To Arm System” message should be on the LCD display. The system cannot be armed unless the

“Enter Code to Arm System” or “Secure System or Enter

Code” message is displayed.

If Double EOL resistors are being used, 3 different messages can be displayed when viewing open zones,

Zone Open, Zone Tamper and Zone Fault. Zone Open will be displayed if the zone is in the alarm state (total resistance between the zone terminal and common is

11200 ohms), Zone Fault will be displayed if the zone is shorted, and Zone Tamper will be displayed if the zone is open.

The “Secure System or Enter Code” message is used to indicate to the user that a force armable zone is open, and the partition can still be armed. After the partition is armed, if the force armable zone is secured it will become an active zone, and will cause an alarm if the zone opens again.

To program a zone as force armable, see “Zone Options” in the Programming Manual.

Enter a 4 digit or 6 digit access code. As each digit is entered the keypad will beep.

• If the access code was entered incorrectly, the keypad will beep steadily for 2 seconds.

• If the code was entered correctly but the message

“Secure System Before Arming” is on the display, the keypad will beep quickly followed by a steady tone.

• When the correct code is entered, the “Exit delay in

Progress” message will come on and the keypad will beep quickly.

If enabled, a timer will appear in the right side of the display indicating the remaining time in the exit delay. Exit the premises through the designated exit-entry door. At the end of the allowed exit time the message on the keypad will change to “Enter Code to Disarm System”.

See the “Installer’s Programming [✱][8] Command” section on how to change the exit time. Also see “Quickarm” and “At-home Arm”.

If a multi partition access code is entered the keypad will display the message

(0) TO ARM

(Partition Label)

< >

The lower right hand corner of the display will show the partition status using the letter “R” for Ready, “A” for

Armed and “N” for Not ready.

Use the [<] [>] keys to scroll though the assigned partitions. Only partitions to which the access code is assigned will be displayed. The message

Auto-bypass/Home-Away Arming

If a correct access code is entered and you do not exit the premises, the system will, at the end of the Exit delay time, arm with interior zones automatically bypassed if those interior zones have been programmed as “Home-

Away” zones. These zones will remain bypassed until

[✱][1] is entered to reactivate bypassed home-away zones.

This is a convenience feature for the user who wishes to remain on the premises with the system armed. The user does not have to manually bypass the Home-Away zones.

To reactivate the Home-away zones that have been automatically bypassed, press [✱][1]. This command is a quick method of fully arming the system in residential applications before going to bed.

Note: The auto-bypassed zones will only send a tamper alarm when the tamper condition is activated, using Double EOL resistors.

Zone Bypassing

[

✱

]+[1]

A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If a zone is bypassed the panel may be armed even if the zone is open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a zone may be temporarily bypassed until repairs can be made so that the panel can be armed.

To bypass zones, enter [✱] [1]. An access code may be required if the installer has enabled that option. A menu will appear.

[0] Bypass Open Zones

allows the user to bypass only the open zones that are on that partition. Use the [<][>] keys to scroll through the open zones. Next to the zone label will the a [!] this character is used to indicate that the zone is open. To select the open zone to be bypassed press the [*] key. A [*] will appear next to the zone label to indicate that the zone has been bypassed.

[1] Bypass Zones

takes you immediately to bypassing zones. Use the [<] [>] to select the zones to be bypassed and press the [✱] key to select the zone. A “✱” will appear beside the zone label to indicate the zone will be bypassed when the partition is armed.

A zone search routine allows the user to find the desired zone to bypass by entering in the first letter of the zone to search for, and pressing one of the [<][>] keys. The [<] key will search for the first zone on the partition that begins with the letter selected. The [>] key will search for the next zone on the partition that begins with the letter selected.

The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among the 1 to 9 number keys on the keypad.

Clear

For example, to search for the first zone that begins with the letter “R”, press the [6] key three times until the letter

“R” is displayed on the keypad between the “< >”. Press the [>] key, the first zone that begins with the letter “R” will then be displayed.

[2] Clear Bypasses

removes all bypasses from all the zones in your partition and then takes you to bypassing zones. None of the zones will have a “✱” beside them.

[3] Recall Bypasses

will bypass all the same zones that were selected the last time zones were bypassed. This is for users that are always bypassing the same zones.

[4] Previous Menu

takes you back to the “Enter Code to

Arm System”.

When the PC4020 is programmed, the ability to bypass certain zones may be eliminated. In this case, the “✱” indicator for those zones will not come on in response to the bypass command. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel is disarmed.

The installer can choose by partition if a code must be entered with [✱]+[1] to bypass zones. Only the zones assigned to the same partition of the system as the keypad can be bypassed. Only certain types of access codes can be used to bypass (See [✱][5]).

Note: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.

Trouble Display

[

✱

]+[2]

The PC4020 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the keypad “TROUBLE” indicator will light and the audible indication will sound (two short beeps every 10 seconds).

When the [#] key is pressed the audible indication will stop, but the trouble indicator light will remain ON until the trouble is cleared. Trouble conditions can also be transmitted to the monitoring station. Press the [✱] then

.

Once the message has cleared, press [✱][2] to view the trouble on that partition.

Press [#] to return to “READY”.

Battery Trouble

A battery trouble will be displayed and can be reported if the battery is 11.3 volts or less, disconnected or the battery fuse fails. Battery voltage is checked once every 4 minutes, so the battery trouble may not restore instantly when the battery is restored. Initiating a bell/comm test will check the battery voltage. When DC

Inhibit Arm is enabled the panel will check the condition of the batteries on the system (main panel and PC4204)

when an access code is entered. If during this check the battery shows a low voltage condition the arming will be inhibited. The LCD will display the message "Fail To Arm...

Battery Trouble" when this occurs.

AC Trouble

There is no audible annunciation on AC power failure. The system “Trouble” light will come ON but the audible indication will not sound until there is a low battery condition. Transmission delay can be programmed for 000 to 255 minutes.

Aux Supply Troub

An Aux trouble is generated if the aux fuse on the main panel opens, or if the Aux or SW Aux terminals are overloaded.

TLM Trouble

A telephone line trouble is generated when the line voltage drops below 3 volts for more than 30 seconds. A keypad trouble is generated when the system is disarmed and if selected, a local alarm sounds when the panel is armed.

TLM TBL Line #1

- When using the PC4700 Fire Module a telephone line trouble is generated when the line voltage drops below 3 volts for more than 30 seconds on line one.

A keypad trouble is generated when the system is disarmed and if selected, a local alarm sounds when the panel is armed.

TLM TBL Line #2

- When using the PC4700 Fire Module a telephone line trouble is generated when the line voltage drops below 3 volts for more than 30 seconds on line two.

A keypad trouble is generated when the system is disarmed and if selected, a local alarm sounds when the panel is armed.

FTC Trouble

If the digital communicator is unsuccessful in communicating with the monitoring station after 10 attempts, a Fail to Communicate trouble is generated. If a later attempt to communicate is successful the trouble is cleared.

Bell CCT Trouble

If the bell fuse opens or the bell circuit is open, a keypad trouble and a Bell Circuit trouble transmission are generated.

Fire Trouble

If a FIRE loop is open circuit, a keypad trouble and a Fire Loop trouble transmission are generated. A trouble on the FIRE loop will unconditionally initiate an audible and visual (trouble light) indication on the keypad. This means that even if any other previous trouble has been silenced, a FIRE loop trouble will restart the keypad buzzer.

If the PC4010 loses communication with any expansion module, all Fire/Burglary outputs will “squawk” once every

10 seconds until a key press is detected on a keypad, or module communication is restored.

Fire Trouble 2WS

- If the fire zone on a PC4700 Fire

Module is opened, a visual keypad trouble (trouble LED will come on) with audible indication and a fire zone trouble transmission is generated. The LCD will show the message "FIRE TROUBLE!! 2 Wire Smoke", until the fire zone trouble is restored. If there is more than one PC4700 trouble condition present these trouble messages will scroll every 3 seconds to the next message.

Loss of Time

When the PC4010 is powered up, the internal time of day clock needs to be set to the correct time. This trouble is cleared when an attempt is made to reset the internal time of day clock. See “System Master

Codes” for resetting the time of day clock.

Module Com Fault

The panel has lost communications with a module and cannot recover it. Check to see if the module is connected properly, then do a system reset.

See “Diagnostics” in the Programming Manual to determine which module is not communicating.

COMBUS Low Pwr

Modules are not getting enough voltage from the COMBUS. Check for proper connection of COMBUS, or the COMBUS needs to be repowered. See

4204 modules and the 4204 PGM COMBUS power option for supplying voltage to the COMBUS. See “Diagnostics” in the Programming Manual to determine which module has low voltage.

Internal Fault

A problem has occurred with the

COMBUS microprocessors. If this trouble occurs, check connections to the COMBUS and do a system reset.

4204 Battery TBL

If any PC4204 relay output module’s battery drops below 11.3 volts, a battery trouble is generated.

To determine which of the PC4204’s has the low battery, check the reporting code transmitted to the monitoring station or check the event buffer printout if there is a printer attached, or through downloading. The battery voltage is checked once every 4 minutes. So the battery trouble may not restore instantly when the battery voltage is restored.

4204 AC Trouble

If any PC4204 relay output module loses incoming AC power, the keypad trouble light will indicate a 4204 AC trouble. But there will be no audible annunciation until there is also a low battery condition.

The PC4204 AC troubles will be transmitted to the monitoring station immediately.

4204 AUX Trouble

If the Aux fuse on any PC4204 relay module should open or if the Aux supply is overloaded, a

4204 Aux trouble is generated.

Ground Fault

- A Ground Fault trouble condition will occur if the Earth Ground (EGND) connection is shorted to a positive voltage source or shorted to a non-earth ground potential. This trouble will generate an audible and visual trouble as well as a Ground Fault reporting code transmission.

Waterflow TBL

- If the Waterflow zone on a PC4700 Fire

Module is opened (WFA or WFB), a visual keypad trouble

(trouble LED will come on) with audible indication and a

Waterflow trouble transmission is generated. The LCD will show the message "FIRE TROUBLE!! Waterflow TBL", until the Waterflow zone trouble is restored. If there is more than one PC4700 trouble condition present these trouble messages will scroll every 3 seconds to the next message.

Cellular Trouble

This indicates that the LINKS unit has one or more of the following trouble conditions: AC, battery, loss of cellular or a tamper fault.

Sensor Reset

[

✱

]+[4]

The Main Bell, Switched Auxiliary Supply and pgm outputs can be programmed by the installer to be a ‘Sensor

Reset’. (See ‘Sensor Reset’ in the programming guide).

This option allows the user to activate these outputs from the keypad by pressing [✱][4]. The keypad will display

‘Sensor Reset in Progress..’ and a countdown timer will show how long the sensor reset will be active. The Sensor

Reset can be from 0 to 255 seconds, which is programmed by the installer. (See PGM Pulse Times,

Utility/Sensor section in the Programming Guide).

Note: To perform a sensor reset from a global keypad a partition must first be selected.

User Programming Commands

[

✱

]+[5]+[System Master Code] or [Supervisory Code]

The [✱] [5] [System Master Code] or [✱] [5] [Supervisory

Code] command is used to program the Master Codes and regular access codes.

The first access code is the System Grand Master Code.

Normally, only the installer can change the System Grand

Master Code. The installer may also program the system to allow the user to change the System Grand Master

Code.

Note: When using the global keypad the System

Master should assign access codes to prevent duplicate access codes being used.

The System Grand Master Code

has no limitations to its use. It may be used to create or delete other System

Master Codes or to perform any user function on the system. Note that only to the first access code can be the

System Grand Master Code.

Each access code may be programmed as one or a combination of the following options:

System Master Codes

may perform any function for any partition on the system except change or delete the

System Grand Master Code, and change or delete other

System Master Codes.

Supervisory Codes

allow the user to program and edit other access codes, except System Master and Duress codes, for any partitions the access code belongs to. It is also used for arming, disarming, bypassing and all other functions that a System Master Code is capable of.

Arm Only Code

allows the user to arm only the partitions to which the code is assigned.

Disarm Only Code

allows the user to disarm only the partitions to which the code is assigned.

Bypass Only Code

allows the user to bypass zones on partitions to which the code is assigned.

Door Strike Code

allows the user to operate door strikes only within the partition to which the code is assigned.

Duress Codes

will send a duress code transmission to the monitoring station whenever it performs a function. A user would enter a Duress Code to indicate that they are forced by an intruder to perform the functions on the system. When a Duress Code is entered, the partition or partitions to which it is assigned will function normally, and a Duress Code transmission will be sent to the monitoring station. Also, any outputs programmed as

“Duress Outputs” will be activated when the Duress Code is entered. A Duress Code may be programmed for any functions except being a System Master Supervisory or

One-Time Use Code.

One -Time Use Codes

are used to allow infrequent users of the system, such as service personnel, to disarm then arm the system. When the system is armed using a One -

Time Use Code, the code will be erased once the Exit

Delay expires; after this time, the code may not be used again. If the One -Time Use Code is entered before the

Exit Delay expires, arming of the system will be cancelled; the One -Time Use Code may then be entered again later to arm the system.

Log Only Codes

are used strictly for logging to the event buffer. The system master can log the time, date and location which they were at with the Log Only codes. To enable this code type, enable just door strike or disable all options.

4580 Access

- Not used on PC4020CF

Note: Do not program One -Time Use Codes without arming or disarming enabled.

Programming Additional Access Codes

Using a System Master or a

Supervisory Code

Press [✱] then [5] to enter the User Programming

Commands; the keypad will display the message “Enter

Your Access Code”. Any System Master Code or

Supervisory Code may be entered.

• If the Grand Master Code is entered, System Master

Codes and regular access codes for any partition will be able to be programmed.

•

If a System Master Code is entered, regular access codes for any partition will be able to be programmed.

A System Master Code can also create Supervisory and Duress Codes.

• If a Supervisory Code is entered, only access codes belonging to the partition to which the Supervisory

Code is assigned may be changed. Supervisory

Codes cannot create System Master or Duress Codes.

When an access code is entered, the keypad will display the number of available access codes on the first line of the screen.

The keypad will display the message “Sel Code (xxx) < >”.

“(xxx)” represents the number of the access code that has been selected for programming. Use the [<] [>] keys to scroll through the list of access codes. When the desired access code number is displayed, press the [✱] key to program the code.

When an access code is selected for editing by pressing the [✱] key, a menu for editing access codes will be displayed. Select one of the menu items by entering a number on the keypad.

PC4216. If the module is programmed to be included in the Lamp Test then selecting this option will activate all output on the module reguardless of the programming.

“At-Home” Arming

[

✱

]+[9]+[Access Code]

Entering [✱] [9] before the arming code, arms the panel without any entry delay on the delay zones and bypasses zones that are defined as “Home-Away”. This command is used for arming the system while at home. Once the panel is Armed in this mode, using [✱] [1] will remove the bypass from those zones defined as “Home-Away” if they have NOT been manually bypassed. The [✱] [1] command, as used here, only removes the bypass from zones that were automatically bypassed with the [✱] [9] command.

The “Armed” light will flash to indicate the partition is “At-

Home” armed.

Quick Arm

[

✱

]+[0]

Entering [✱] [0] is accepted as a valid arming code when the “Quick Arm” feature is activated. This command is often used when individuals are required to arm the system but not disarm it. This could be used with home visitors in the case of a residential alarm or junior employees and maintenance staff in the case of a commercial alarm. See instructions in the “[✱] [6] User

Functions Command” section for activating the “Quick

Arm” feature.

Quick Exit

[

✱

]+[0] When Armed

Entering [✱] [0] when the system is fully armed will allow the user 2 minutes to exit the premises through any delay zone without altering the status of the system if the “Quick

Exit” feature is enabled. After [✱] [0] is entered into an armed system, one and only one delay loop may be tripped. Any additional activity on any other active loop will cause that loop to begin its alarm sequence. Quick exit activation will be logged onto the event buffer.

Keypad Zones

There are three zones which can be activated from the keypad. The alarm and restoral codes for keypad zones are programmed using the [✱] [8] command.

Pressing the [F] key for 2 seconds activates a fire alarm.

The fire alarm sounds the siren/bell in a pulsed fashion.

Pressing the [A] key for 2 seconds activates a silent auxiliary keypad zone.

Pressing the [P] key for 2 seconds activates a silent panic keypad zone.

Programming for the [F], [A], and [P] keys for the global keypad can be found under the System Toggle Options.

The global keypad will always send (if programmed) the system area account code. The [F], [A], and [P] keys will activate for all active partitions, any valid access code from any partition may silence the alarm.

Note: See ‘KEYPAD TOG OPT’ in the Programming

Guide for changing keypad zones options.

Loss of COMBUS Communication

Supervision

If COMBUS communication to a module is lost for more then 30 seconds, the LCD4520 will display the message,

SYSTEM TROUBLE

COMBUS ERROR

and the keypad buzzer will activate. The error message will be cleared when data communication is restored to the module.

PRINTER SETUP

Note: Do not connect a printer on UL Listed residential fire alarm systems.

The PC4400 module is used for sending serial communications through an RS232 port to a local printer for on site monitoring of the PC4020.

All programming of the PC4400 is done through the

PC4020.

The printer can be located up to 200 ft (61 m) away from the PC4400.

An 80 character printer is strongly recommended.

Configuring the Printer

1. Serial interface

2. Baud rate = 300, 600, 1200 or 2400 (PC4020 default setting = 1200 baud)

3. Parity = None

4. Character length = 8 bits

5. Auto line feed = Off

6. American/Canadian character set

7. DTR Protocol or XON/XOFF (by default the PC4020 sends DTR protocol)

The PC4400 comes complete with a DB-25 (male) modular jack adapter, and a 6 ft (2 m) six wire extension cord. A longer extension cord can be used if required, up to 200 ft

(61 m) maximum.

Power down the PC4020, PC4400 and the printer.

Connect one end of the extension cord into the PC4400, and the other end into the DB-25 modular jack adapter.

Connect the DB-25 modular jack into the RS232 serial port of the printer.

See the PC4400 wiring diagram.

Power up the printer, then the PC4020 and PC4400. If the

PC4400 is already enrolled and the printer is on line, the

PC4400 will begin transmitting to the printer.

Sample 1 is a printout from the serial printer.

Most actions on the PC4020 that require an access code are logged to the event buffer, and are sent to the printer

(see Sample 2).

The partition labels, access code names and zone labels can be changed in the PC4020. See “PAR NAME LABEL” in the Programming Manual for programming partition labels. See “EDIT CODE NAME” in the System Manual under [✱][5] commands to program the access code names. See “ZONE LABEL” in the Programming Manual for programming zone labels. The printout will then be as

Sample 3.

The PC4400 sends events to the printer as they occur.

If the printer is off line or disconnected, the PC4020 keeps new events in memory until they are ready to be printed.

When the printer is brought back on line, the PC4400 will send the new events to the printer. If 450 new events occur before the printer is brought back on line (450 events =

75% of the buffer), the PC4020 will send the “Buf Near Full” reporting code to the monitoring station. (See ‘Maint Rep

Codes” in the Programming Flow Charts for programming the “Buf Near Full” reporting code). If over 600 events occur before the printer is brought back on line, the oldest events will be overwritten.

The PC4020 contains an event buffer which stores the last

600 events.

To print out the entire event buffer, enter the “Prn Entire

Buff” section in installers programming [✱][8][Installer’s

Code][3][0].

The printout will begin with the oldest event in memory and end at the most recent one.
