Additional features of the PC1616/PC1832/PC1864 Security System are an Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown)
for Alarm, Tamper and Trouble signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period (see Section 5.6 Option [377] in
the Installation Manual). There is also a Programmable Keypad Lockout option (see Section 5.3 Option [012] in
the Installation Manual).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your central sta-
tion of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all con-
ditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security
system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of
protection that has been provided and on system operations.

1. Press and hold both keys simultaneously.
2. Using the keys, scroll through the available languages.
3. Press to select your desired language.
Arming & Disarming the System
Arming (Turning On/Setting)
Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on.
To arm, press and hold the Away key for 2 seconds and/or enter your Access Code, or press to Quick
Arm. During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will turn on, and the key-
pad will sound one beep per second. You now have ____ seconds to leave the premises (please check with your
installer to have this time programmed). 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 ( ) 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 sys-
tem. Press and hold the Exit key for 2 seconds or press . You now have 2 minutes to leave the premises
through your exit door. When the door is closed again, the remaining exit time is cancelled.
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:
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 Arm-
ing (Turned On/Set)”.)
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. sen-
sors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all sensors are secure, press
and try again.
