DSC PowerSeries Alarm System User Guide
About Your Security System
Your DSC Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer
instruct you on your system's operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its
use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of your zone information and
access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
The PowerSeries security system includes specific false alarm reduction fea-
tures and is classified with ANSI / SIA CP-01-2000. To comply with this specification, your installation must have a minimum of two keypads. Consult
your installer for further information regarding the false alarm reduction features built into your system as all are not covered in this manual.
Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection
depends on having adequate number of detectors placed in appropriate locations.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape Planning
guidelines in this manual
Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before
it becomes functional.
Test ing
To insure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly. Please refer to the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your
system does not function properly, call your installing company for service.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles & emergency information
over telephone lines to a central station. If you initiate an alarm by mistake, immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes
functional
SIA There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. It can
be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds, at the option of the enduser by consulting with the installer.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following
points:
• Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly
moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
• Use the system test described in “Testing Your System” to check the battery condition. We recommend, however, that the standby batteries be replaced every 3-5
years.
• For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or
microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the manufacturer’s
literature for testing and maintenance instructions.
General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and
various sensors and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a
utility closet or in a basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics,
fuses and standby battery.
Only the installer or service professional should have access to the
control panel.
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group of zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). The keypad is used to send commands to the
system and to display the current system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in a
convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/exit door(s).
The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will
be connected to one or more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door
contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm will be indicated by the corresponding zone lights
flashing on a LED keypad or by written messages on the LCD keypad.
Additional features of the PC1616/PC1832/PC1864 Security System are an Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm, Tamper and Trouble signals after 3
occurrences in a given set period (see Section 5.6 Option [377] in the Installation
Manual). There is also a Programmable Keypad Lockout option (see Section 5.3
Option [012] in the Installation Manual).
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and –
if included – your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are
generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a
substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security
system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who
should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system
operations.

System Test
All smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector
installer or dealer once a year to ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user’s
responsibility to test the system weekly (excluding smoke detectors). Ensure you
follow all the steps in the ‘Testing Your System’ section above
If the system fails to function correctly, call your installation company for
service immediately.
1. Ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on before testing.
2. Press and close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.
3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the previous section.
4. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window
or walk in motion detector areas).
PK5500/LCD5500 keypads will display the following message when each zone
(detector) is activated: “Secure System Before Arming < >”, “Secure System or
Enter Code” or “Secure or Arm System”. Use the keys to view which
zones are open. The message will disappear when the zones are closed.
On an PK5501/LCD5501Z keypad, the display says “Open” when any zone
(detector) is activated. To see which zones are open, press . The keypad will
scroll the numbers of all open zones.
On a PK5508/PK5516/PC55XXZ keypad, the zone light turns ON when the zone
(detector) is activated. The zone light turns OFF when the zone is closed (e.g., door
or window closed).
Some features described above are not functional unless enabled by your
installer. Ask your installer which features are functional on your system.
.
Wal k Test Mode
The installer can initiate a Walk Test mode for the system. While in Walk Test mode,
The Ready, Armed, and Trouble LED's will flash to indicate that Walk Test is active.
When the system automatically terminates the Walk Test modes, it will annunciate
with an audible warning (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning five minutes prior to
the termination of the test.
Guidelines for locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or
lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons,
smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of
the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that
local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke
alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum
protection be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility
rooms; and any hallways not protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other
spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of
joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/
ULC-S553-M86 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.
• Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air
space in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
• Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air
movement around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
• Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
• Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38
falls below 5
• Smoke detectors should always be installed in accordance with NFPA 72, the
National Fire Alarm Code. Smoke detectors should always be located in accordance with the following:
‘Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional storey of the family living
unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new
construction, a smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleeping room’.

Household Fire Safety Audit
Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety.
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed
cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional
evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire-hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood-burning appliances properly installed, clean and in
good working order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes
deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and
rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since
many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape
routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all border doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they
are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped,
plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who
are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can
be accounted for (e.g., across the street or at a neighbor’s house). Once everyone is
out of the building, call the Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the
fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change,
such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s
construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If
you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further
information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire
prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

Appendix A: Reporting Codes
Appendix A: Reporting Codes
The following tables contain Contact ID and Automatic SIA format reporting codes. For more information on reporting code formats and notes
about individual reporting codes, (see Section 5.6 Communicator Programming PWS Sect 6).
Contact ID
The first digit (in parentheses) will automatically be sent by the control. The second two digits are programmed to indicate specific information
about the signal. For example, if zone 1 is an entry/exit point, you could program the event code as [34]. The central station would receive the
following:
*BURG - ENTRY/EXIT - 1 where the “1” ind icates w hich z one w ent into alarm.
SIA Format - Level 2 (Hardcoded)
The SIA communication format used in this product follows the level 2 specifications of the SIA Digital Communication Standard - October
1997. This format will send the Account Code along with its data transmission. The transmission will look similar to the following at the receiver:
N Ri01BA 01
N= New Event
Ri01 = Partition /Area Identifier
BA= Burglary Alarm
01= Zone 1
NOTE: A system event will use the Area Identifier Ri00.

Appendix B: UL Listed Commercial and Residential Installations
Appendix B: UL Listed Commercial and Residential Installations
The installation requirements listed below must be met for the following
grades of service.
Central Station and Police Connect (Standard or Encrypted Line Security
Service)
The installation must use T-Link module which communicates over LAN/WAN to
the Sur-Gard MLR-IP receiver or the TL200/250 which communicates over LAN/
WAN/Internet to the SG System III receiver. Polling time must be 90 seconds.
Compromise detection time must be 6 minutes.
Local
•The installation must have a bell which is UL Listed for mercantile local alarms
(AMSECO MBL10B with model AB-12 bell housing).
•The digital communicator must be enabled.
•The control panel must be in the attack-resistant enclosure (DSC Model CMC1 or PC4050CAR).
Central Station and Police Connect (No line security)
•The installation must have a bell which is UL Listed for mercantile local alarms
(AMSECO MBL10B with model AB-12 bell housing).
•The digital communicator must be enabled.
•The control panel must be in the attack resistant enclosure (DSC Model CMC1 or PC4050CAR).
All Commercial Installations
•The Entry Delay must not exceed 120 seconds
•The Exit Delay must not exceed 120 seconds.
•The minimum Bell Time-out is 15 minutes.
Residential Fire & Burglary Installations
•The Entry Delay must not exceed 45 seconds
•The Exit Delay must not exceed 60 seconds.
•The minimum Bell Time-out is 4 minutes.
Home Health Care Signaling Equipment
•There must be at least two keypads, one of either the LCD5500Z/LCD5520Z
or LCD5501Z and one of the following models, PC5508Z, PC5516Z or
PC5532Z.
•Each system shall be programmed to activate an audible Trouble signal within
90 seconds upon loss of microprocessor memory.
•The minimum Bell Time-out is 5 minutes.
Programming
The notes in the programming sections describing the system configurations
for UL Listed installations must be implemented.
Control of the Protected Premises
In order to have a UL Certificated system the protected area is to be under the
responsibility of one ownership and management (i.e., one business under one
name). This may be a group of buildings attached or unattached with different
addresses but under the responsibility of someone having mutual interest. The
person of mutual interest is not the alarm-installing company.
Bell Location
The alarm sounding device (bell) must be located where it can be heard by the
person or persons responsible for maintaining the security system during the
daily arming cycle.
Protection of the Control Unit
The local control and the local power supply must be protected in one of the
following ways:
•The control unit and audible alarm device must be in a protected area which is
armed 24 hours a day.
•Each partition must arm the area protecting the control unit and the audible
alarm device power supply. This may require duplicate protection armed by
each partition. Access to this protected area, without causing an alarm, will
require that all partitions be disarmed.
•In all cases described above, the protected area for the control unit must be
programmed as not-bypassable.
Casual Users
The installer should caution the user(s) not to give system information to casual
users (e.g. codes, bypass methods, etc. to baby-sitters or service people). Only
the One-Time Use codes should be given to casual users.
User Information
The installer should advise the users and note in the User’s Manual:
Minimum requirement system for SIA-FAR Installations:
• 1 PC1616/PC1832/PC1864 Control panel
• 2 Local annunciation devices
The local annunciation devices may be any combination of the following keypads, as long as there is at least one LCD keypad in the installation (Model
LCD5500Z, LCD5501Z, PKP-LCD, PKP-ICN or PK5500).
• LCD5500Z• LCD5501Z• PK5500• PK5508
• PKP-LCD• PKP-ICN• PK5501• PK5516
The following optional subassembly modules also bear the SIA FAR classification and may be used if desired:
The following optional accessory modules also bear the SIA FAR classification
and may be used if desired.
PC5204 Auxiliary Power Supply with PGM output ports
Escort5580/Escort5580TC, PC5400 Printer Module
Caution
• For SIA FAR installations, only use modules / devices that are listed on this
page.
• Fire Alarm Verification feature (Auto Verified Fire zone) is not supported on
2-wire smoke detectors zones. This feature may be enabled for 4-wire smoke
detectors only.
• Call Waiting Cancel (Section 382 Option 4) feature on a non-Call Waiting
line will prevent successful communication to the central station.
• All smoke detectors on the system must be tested annually by conducting
the Installer Walk Test prior to exiting the walk test mode, a sensor reset
must be conducted on the system, [4][7][2] to reset all latching 4-wire
smoke detectors. Please refer to the smoke detector installation instructions
on how to correctly test the detectors.
Notes
• Programming at installation may be subordinate to other UL requirements
for the intended application.
• Cross zones have the ability to individually protect the intended area (e.g.,
motion detectors, which overlap).
• Cross zoning is not recommended for line security Installations nor is it to be
implemented on exit / entry zones.
• There is a communication delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. It can be
removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option of the end
user by consulting with the Installer.
• Do not duplicate any reporting codes. This applies for all communication formats other than SIA sending automatic programmed reporting codes.
• The control unit must be installed with a local sounding device and an offpremise transmission for SIA communication format.
• For ULC Listed Fire Monitoring Installations & module requirements, Refer to
the ULC Installation Information sheet, part# 29002157.
• Use a CSA/cUL transformer, hardwired.
• All tamper circuits may be connected to the same zone.
• Use ULC-LA for AC Power indication.

Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your
responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however,
involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of these reasons may be:
• Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation
should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks
and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the le v el of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire
and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
• Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is
possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
• Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by
moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent
the proper operation of the system.
• Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate
power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail.
Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a
device operates only by AC po wer, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperati ve while
it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations
which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred,
immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
• Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal
conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the
batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance
will keep the system in good operating condition.
• Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or
near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
• System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is
important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know
how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
• Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke
may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there i s insufficient
warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
• Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in th eir respective installation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multip le beams of det ection and motion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors,
windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness
can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be
heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
• Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if
there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may
be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired
person.
• Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time.
Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may
be difficult to detect.
• Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system
is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
• Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to
function as intended due to the failure of a component.
• Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
• Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitut e for property or life insuranc e. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency s itua tion.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to
an incoming call.
In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact
the local Telephone Company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product identifier that has the format.
US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

Additional Information
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.
Alarm dialling equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an
emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm
dialling equipment must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack that is electrically
in series with and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper
installation is depicted in the figure below. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer about installing the RJ-31X jack and alarm dialling equipment for you.
