1. INTRODUCTION
WP8033 is a PowerG-enabled professional all-in-one wireless security, fire and safety system supporting advanced
applications and DSC's PowerG™ Two-Way, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) wireless technology. This offers unmatched wireless robustness, superior range and long battery life; a
perfect and user friendly solution for both monitoring service providers and professional installers.
The system consists of the WP8033 control panel that does not include a built-in keypad and that operates in
conjunction with a wireless keypad display device. The control panel accommodates all control circuitry and operation
software for a programmable 64-zone alarm system, while the keypad display unit enables the installer and the user to
enter their commands and provides visual and audible feedback.
The system is supplied with 3 instruction manuals:
WP8033 Installer's Guide (this manual) – for use of system installer during system installation.
The Keypad Installer’s Guide -– for use of system installer during keypad installation and WP8033 configuration.
The Keypad User’s Guide -– also for use of system installer during system installation and configuration, but also for
the master user of the system, once installation is completed. Hand over this manual to the master user of the system.
1.1 System Features
The following table lists the WP8033 features with a description of each feature and how to use it.
2 D-306048 WP8033 Installer's Guide

Diagnostics of the
control panel and
peripherals
You can test the function of all wireless
sensors deployed throughout the protected
area, to collect information about the
received signal strength from each
transmitter and to review accumulated data
after the test.
To perform diagnostics and to obtain
signal strength indication: see the keypad
Installer’s Guide
Conducting periodic
tests
The system should be tested at least once a
week and after an alarm. The periodic test
can be conducted locally or from a remote
location (with the assistance from a nontechnical person in the house).
To conduct a walk test locally: see the
keypad Installer’s Guide or the keypad
User’s Guide
To conduct a walk test from remote
location: refer to the Remote Programmer
PC software User's Guide.
The partitioning feature, when enabled,
divides your alarm system into distinct areas
each of which operates as an individual
alarm system. Partitioning can be used in
installations where shared security systems
are more practical, such as a home office or
warehouse building.
1. Enable partitioning: see the keypad
Installer’s Guide
2. Setup partition association for each
device: see the keypad Installer’s Guide
To understand more about partitioning:
see the keypad Installer’s Guide.
Device configuration
templates
The default parameters with which a new
device is enrolled into the system can be set
before you enroll devices. This default
template saves time on device configuration.
1. Define enrollment defaults for devices:
see the keypad Installer’s Guide
2. Enroll or pre-enroll devices: see the
keypad Installer’s Guide
SirenNet - distributed
siren using Smoke
detectors
All PowerG smoke detectors are able to
function as sirens, alerting on any of 4 types of
alarm in the system: burglary, gas, fire or
flood.
Enable and configure SirenNet for each
smoke detector: refer to the PGx9926 /
PGx9916 Installation Instructions
The control panel can operate a wired siren
and strobe devices
Install and connect wired siren: see
section 3.8 Optional Expander Module
Wired zones and
programmable
outputs (PGM)
The control panel can support wired detectors
and control automation devices with
programmable wired outputs.
1. Connect a wired zone or PGM device: see
section 3.4 Adding a Wired Zone and Siren.
2. Program the wired zone: see the keypad
Installer’s Guide
3. Program PGM outputs behavior: see the
keypad Installer’s Guide.
Reporting to Private
Users and/or
Monitoring Station by
telephone, SMS and
IP communication
The WP8033 system can be programmed to
send notifications of alarm and other events
to 4 private telephone subscribers by voice*
and also to 4 SMS cellular phone numbers
and to report these events to the Monitoring
Station by SMS, PSTN or IP communication.
To configure notifications to Private
phones: see the keypad User’s Guide
To configure reporting to the Montioring
Station: see the keypad Installer’s Guide
Quick installation with
link quality indication
With PowerG devices, there is no need to
consult the keypad when mounting a
wireless device, because PowerG devices
include a built-in link quality indicator.
Choosing the mounting location is a quick
and easy process.
To choose the ideal location to mount a
wireless device, see Chapter 2 Choosing the
Installation Location.
Supported in specific WP8033 variants (for further details, please contact your DSC representative).

2. CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
To ensure the best possible mounting location of the WP8033 control panel, the following points should be observed:
The selected location should be approximately in the center of the installation site between all the transmitters,
preferably in a hidden location.
In close proximity to an AC source
In close proximity to a telephone line connection (if PSTN is used)
Where there is good cellular coverage, if GSM-350 is used
Far from sources of wireless interference, such as:
o Computers or other electronic devices, power conductors, cordless phones, light dimmers, etc.
o Large metal objects (such as metal doors or refrigerators)
Note: A distance of at least 1 meter (3 ft) is recommended.
When mounting wireless devices:
Make sure that the signal reception level for each device is either "Strong" or "Good", but not "Poor".
Wireless magnetic contacts should be installed in a vertical position and as high up the door or window as possible.
Wireless PIR detectors should be installed upright at the height specified in their Installation Instructions
Repeaters should be located high on the wall in mid-distance between the transmitters and the control panel.
WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the control panel should be located at
a distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Customer Premises Equipment and Wiring
Note: 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.
Connection to telephone company provided coin service is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present on the
phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X manufactured by
Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows alarm reporting without
breaking the internet connection.
