Q: Can I reset the installer code if I have access to the DSC board? At each keypad I enrolled each one (one by one) I have four keypads plus the IT-100 so my keypad bus is busy. My alarm is monitored via the Internet and not via the telephone system(s) built into the DSC.I programmed my system in a single partition (partition 1).Set the partitioning for expanded zones.Cancel the telephone system (as it is monitored via the Internet).Switch to normally-closed loops (non-resistive circuits).Here is how I programmed it and the order I went through: This is the first DSC alarm I have programmed so I am always open for commentary on the process. Okay, now it is reset and ready for programming.
This works 100% just like the manual describes: Thus, you have to ground Z1 to PGM and power the system up for 10 seconds and then power it off, remove the jumper and then power it back on. To do this you have to short the zone 1 pin (not the z1 common pin) with the PGM1 pin.
Installation Manual for the DSC PC1616 / PC 1832 / PC1864 Let’s get going Get at least one of them to help with the programming. I have another system with PK5500 keypads and they are great.
NOTE: if you are buying a new DSC I would suggest getting the PK5500 keypads instead of the PK5501 keypads. The process is incredibly straight forward with only a few caveats.įor clarity I have a PC1832 with four keypads and I have two additional PC5108 expanders to give me up to 24 zones. I decided to reprogram it myself and here are my notes for anyone attempting to program or even reprogram their own DSC alarm. I quickly realized I could use the IT-100 board and some time to systematically determine the installer code but the time spent on that would be spent only because I had some concerns regarding reprogramming it. Sorry man, there’s no notes in your file for the installer code. The company who originally installed the alarm did not record the installer’s code when they installed it so I was up a creek as far as knowing the installer code. I purchased the IT-100 board and then decided I wanted to expand it a bit further to include more zones. I have a DSC alarm at my house (a PC1832) and I want to use Home Assistant to work with it.
