10.1 Keypad Status List
The Status List is the current status of the system or records of recent system events that display on the alphanumeric keypads.
If an event occurs on the system, such as an AC failure, the keypad displays the AC POWER -TRBL message. This is
a system event that is placed into the Status List to alert the user to a problem.
Some Status List items remain in the display until manually cleared and some are cleared automatically when the
condition returns to normal. Below is a complete list of status and event displays the keypad can show in the Status List:
Description Must be cleared manually?
Fire and Supervisory zone alarms Yes - by Sensor Reset
Fire and Supervisory zone troubles No - clears when zone restores
All other zone alarms No - clears when zone restores
System monitor troubles
(AC and battery trouble)
No - clears when condition restores
Zone bypasses No - clears at Sensor Reset or Reset Swinger Bypass
Remote keypad messages
(Sent to the keypad by your office or central station)
No
Each item in the list displays for four seconds. When there are multiple items in the list, you can use the COMMAND or
Back Arrow keys to scroll forward or back through the items.
If there are no items in the Status List, the keypad displays SYSTEM NORMAL.
10.2 Manual Telephone Line Seizure
This feature allows you to connect with a remote receiver either by having the panel pick up the phone line while the
receiver is ringing the line or by entering a phone number for the panel to dial. This feature is primarily used when
bringing a new account on-line as it allows your office or the central station to connect to the panel and upload a custom
program.
How it Works
While the panel is in the Status List, press the numbers 984 and then the COMMAND key. The keypad display changes
to NBR PICKUP.
NBR
Press the Select key under NBR to enter a phone number for the panel to dial. Press each number key slowly and
deliberately. The panel dials each number as it is pressed. If you make a mistake, press the Back Arrow key. The panel
stops dialing and returns to the NBR PICKUP display.
You can enter up to 15 characters for the phone number. To enter a # (pound sign) or * (asterisk) press the 0 (zero) key
and third Select key (pound) or fourth Select key (asterisk).
The panel makes ten attempts to reach the receiver. If, while attempting to contact the receiver, the panel needs to send
an alarm report, the dialing attempts stop and the panel uses the line to send its report.
PICKUP
The panel immediately seizes the phone line and sends a carrier tone to the receiver.
10.3 2-Button Panic Keys
The PFC-7500/PFC-7501 panels support the 2-button Fire (flame icon) feature on the RA-7630 and RA-7692 keypad.
Pressing the two Select keys above the flame icon sends a zone 39 Fire alarm to the central station receiver.
