CHAPTER 8: KEYPAD AND READER INDICATIONS
The PCX panel is active for 24 hours a day and the two basic operation modes are DISARMED mode and
ARMED mode.
DISARMED: In this mode all inputs are disarmed, apart from Fire, Hold Up, 24 Hour, Gas, Tamper and
Fault, which are active 24 hours a day. The Tamper state of all End of Line inputs is always active
irrespective of the input type.
ARMED: In this mode all enabled inputs are armed, and if triggered will generate an alarm condition. If an
alarm is triggered, internal and external sounders will operate for a programmed period or time. Upon expiry
of this time period, the system will automatically rearm.
There are 3 types of operating devices for the PCX: The LCD keypad, the internal proximity reader and the
external proximity reader. Also note that the PCX LCD keypad also has an inbuilt prox reader.
