FEATURES
Keypad Programming
The PC2550 comes with a default program so it is
operational with a minimum of programming. It is
completely programmable from the keypad. The panel
uses EEPROM memory so that all information is retained
even if the panel loses both AC and battery power.
Multiple Level Static/Lightning
Protection
The PC2550 has been carefully designed and tested to
provide reliable service. It is built to take static and
lightning induced surges and keep on working. Multiple
level surge filters are on all zone inputs, the power
supply, the keypad connections, the bell output, the
auxiliary power supply and the telephone interface. A
special “ZAP-TRAC” circuit board configuration catches
high voltage impulses right at the wiring terminals.
Protective ground planes surround sensitive areas
preventing the spread of damaging voltage surges.
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV’s) are placed in all the
critical areas to further reduce impulses to safe levels.
”WATCHDOG MONITOR” Circuit
Even when all precautions are taken so that voltage
surges do not cause damage to the control panel, it is
possible to cause temporary disruption to the operation
of the microprocessor causing it to lose track of the
program sequence. The PC2550 is equipped with an
external “Watchdog Monitor” circuit which continually
checks the microprocessor program execution.
System Supervision Features
The PC2550 continuously monitors a number of possible
trouble conditions including:
• An active battery supervision circuit that periodically
tests the battery under load.
• A loss of the AC power supply.
• A supervised circuit trouble condition.
• A telephone line monitoring circuit.
• A bell circuit failure indicates open circuit or fuse
failure.
• A test code feature which transmits a communicator
test code to the monitoring station at a selected time
everyday. The test code can be sent at intervals from 1
to 99 days.
• A bell/siren/communicator test feature which can be
activated from the keypad.
• TLM (Telephone Line Monitoring) restoral transmission.
Advanced Features
The PC2550 has many advanced features. Features
which provide the security system design flexibility and
selling advantage necessary to win those demanding jobs
and make them profitable.
Some of these features include
• EEPROM memory retains all data even on complete AC
and battery failure. Panel powers up in last armed or
disarmed state before power loss.
• All programmable zones may be selected as one of 10
different types including; delay, auxiliary delay, instant,
interior, interior with home-away, delay with home-away,
and 4 types of 24 hour emergency and supervisory
circuits.
• Keypad programming of up to sixteen security codes.
• Zone bypassing from the keypad.
• Individual zone and system function indicators on
keypad.
• A keypad activated utility output function for operating
lights, door openers, cameras or other devices.
Although the PC2550 has many features, it is not difficult
to use. All keypad commands are similar and are assisted
by audible and visual cues.
