INSTALLING THE COMMUNICATIONS BRIDGE ///

The DSC Bridge allows your Alarm System to communicate with the XG1000 controller.
You must complete the installation of your XG1000 controller before proceeding with
this installation. Refer to the documentation that came with your XG1000 kit to access your
remote account and register the XG1000 controller. You will also need access to a PC and
the remote account information to complete the installation procedure.

1. Remove power from the DSC Alarm Panel. Refer to the DSC documentation if needed.

5. Log into your remote account via a PC browser. Click on the Account Settings tab on the
interface and then select the Discovery sub-tab, to access the Discovery page.

NOTE: If your XG1000 Controller is not registered to your account you
must register it prior to proceeding.

2. Connect the DSC Bridge to the DSC Alarm Panel (or a Keypad). The Bridge connects
just like an additional Keypad. Follow the wire colors used for the existing Panel,
as shown in the diagram below:

■ Red wire to Pin 7

NOTE: The existing keypad will remain connected. Mount the Bridge device near the alarm panel away
from large metal objects. If necessary, you can extend the length of the wire using four conductor cable
and wire nuts. For best results the Bridge device should be mounted as high as possible, preferably at
least 6 feet above the floor.

DEVICE DISCOVERY IN PROGRESS

of your devices on the Discovery page, and the LED on the DSC Bridge should turn GREEN.
At this point you may press the ‘STOP DISCOVERY’ button to stop the Discovery process.

3. Re-connect power to the Alarm Panel.

4. The LED on the DSC Bridge should light up and display either RED or GREEN –
If the LED does not light up, the bridge is not receiving power, please check all connections
(see Troubleshooting Section). If the LED changes from solid GREEN to solid RED within
the first 60 seconds after applying power and remains solid RED the Controller and the Bridge
may be having difficulty communicating. Please perform the Range Test described in the
Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
