Getting Started

Read this section completely before you begin. Once you have an overall understanding of the installation
process, carefully work through each step.

2.1 Installation Steps

Step 1: Mounting the Unit

Mount the panel in a dry area close to an unswitched AC power source. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall,
be sure to press the four circuit board mounting studs into the cabinet from the back.

NOTE: You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery, or applying AC to the panel.

Step 2: Mounting the Skyroute Transceiver

The Skyroute Transceiver can be mounted in the upper right hand corner of the panel cabinet through
the knock out.The Skyroute Transceiver case attaches to the panel cabinet through the use of clips.

Step 3: Mounting the Antenna
NOTE: The antenna should always be attached to the Skyroute Transceiver for proper operation. The

unit will not function properly if the antenna is not installed.

The antenna attaches to the TNC connector of the Skyroute Transceiver.The antenna should be mounted
as high above ground level as possible while at the same time taking care not to place the antenna
under a Radio frequency shield of any kind. For example do not mount the antenna directly below a
metal roofing over-hang. The Skyroute Transceiver functions best when installed in an unobstructed
“line of sight” to the cellular antenna site.

Step 4: Panel Wiring

Install the 1kΩ resistor (brown, black, red) across the Bell+ and Bell- terminals. Connect all the
zone inputs using the 5.6kΩ resistors (violet, blue, red). Follow connection diagram on page 20
for different configurations.

4

Step 5: Skyroute Wiring

• Keybus Connection

The Skyroute transmitter has 4 terminals marked red, black, yellow and green. Connect these four
terminals to the 4 terminals on the main control panel marked KEYBUS (aux+, aux-, yellow and
green).

• Bell IN Terminal

This terminal is used to power the cellemetry modem.This connects to the BELL + on the control
panel. No other wire should be connected to the Bell+ of the control panel or to this terminal.

Step 6: Power up the Control

Once all zone and Keybus wiring is complete, power up the control panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive
terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the AC.

NOTE: Connect the battery before connecting the AC. You must apply AC power to the panel for at least 10
seconds, or the panel will not function. The panel will not power up on the battery connection alone.

Step 7: Programming the System
Utilize any Power keypad to program the system. Simply connect the keypad (R , B, Y, G,) terminals to the keybus

(Aux+, Aux-, Yel, Green) on the control panel.

Fill out the Programming Worksheets completely before attempting to program the system.

Step 8: Testing the System

Test the panel thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions are operating as programmed.

2.2 Terminal Descriptions

Battery Connection

A 12V 7Ah rechargeable battery is used as a backup source of power in the event of an AC power failure. The battery
also provides additional current when the panel’s demands exceed the power output of the transformer, such as when
the Skyroute module is transmitting.

NOTE: Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is complete. Connect the battery before connecting the AC.

Connect the RED battery lead to the positive battery terminal; connect the BLACK lead to negative.

AC Terminals – AC

The panel requires a 16.5VAC, 40VA transformer. Connect the transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the
transformer to these terminals.

NOTE: Do not connect the transformer until all other wiring is complete.

Auxiliary Power Terminals – AUX+ and AUX-

These terminals provide up to 550 mA of additional current at 12 VDC for devices requiring power. Connect the positive
side of any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal, the negative side to AUX- (ground). The AUX output is protected.
This means that if too much current is drawn from these terminals (such as wiring short), the panel will temporarily shut
off the output until the problem is corrected.

Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, GRN

The Keybus is used by the panel to communicate with the Skyroute transceiver, the programming keypad and other
modules. Each module has four Keybus terminals that must be connected to the four Keybus terminals on the panel.

5

Programmable Output Terminals – PGM1 and PGM2

Each PGM output is designed so that when activated by the panel, the terminal will switch to ground.
PGM1 can sink up to 50mA of current. Connect the positive side of the LED or buzzer to AUX+, the negative side to PGM1.
PGM2 operates similarly to PGM1. If more than 50 mA of current are required, a relay must be used.
For a list of the programmable output options, please see section the “PGM Output Options” Section.

Telephone Connection Terminals – TIP, RING, T-1, R-1

If a telephone line is required for central station communication or downloading, connect an RJ-31X telephone jack in
the following manner:

NOTE: Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the dimension, tolerance and metallic plating requirements
of 47 C.F.R. Part 68, SubPart F. For proper operation, no other telephone equipment should be connected
between the control panel and the telephone company facilities. Do not connect the alarm panel communicator
to telephone lines intended for use with a fax machine. These lines may incorporate a voice filter, which
disconnects the line if anything other than fax signals are detected, resulting in incomplete transmissions.

7

Secure Installation

For a secure installation, the Skyroute UT must be in a secure, locked, and protected area via
sensors. All entry points must be protected. An instant trip IR sensor would be the most
appropriate for supervision of the panel. A cabinet tamper switch connected to the TMP
terminal of the Skyroute Transceiver is also required.

Relocating the Antenna

If a suitable location is not available for proper Cellemetry coverage, obtain an Antenna Extension
Bracket kit from your DSC/Sur-Gard supplier. Each kit contains an extension cable, a mounting bracket,
instructions, and all required hardware. Three lengths of extension cable are available:

Extension Kit Length of cable

LAE-3 3 feet (0.91 m)
LAE-15 15 feet (4.57 m)
LAE-25 25 feet (7.62 m)

Only use the Extension Kits to extend the mounting range of the antenna. Do not cut or splice
the extension cable. The maximum distance between the Skyroute transceiver and the antenna
is 25 feet (7.62 m) as obtained by using the LAE-25 Extension Kit. Make sure the antenna is
in a physically secured location to avoid tampering.

Secure the TNC connector from the Extension Kit to the mounting bracket, ensuring that the
star washers make solid electrical contact with the mounting bracket.

Remove the antenna from the Skyroute module and connect the extension cable to the TNC
connector on the module. Secure the antenna to the TNC connector mounted on the Extension
Kit Mounting Bracket. Locate the mounting bracket and antenna away from possible sources
of electrical interference. Moving the antenna just a short distance will likely be adequate.
Temporarily secure the mounting bracket in the new location and proceed with testing. If the
test is successful, permanently secure the mounting bracket and antenna at the new location.

How to Program

The following section of the manual describes the Installer’s Programming function and how to program the
various sections.
NOTE: Read the following section of the manual very carefully before you begin programming. We also

recommend filling out the Programming Worksheets section before you program the panel.

3.1 Installer’s Programming

Installer’s Programming is used to program all communicator and panel options. The Installer’s Code is [0580]
by default but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to programming.

Installer’s Code ........ Section [006]

From an LED Keypad:

1. Enter [*][8][Installer’s Code].
The Program light (or System light on the PC1555RKZ) will flash to indicate that you are in programming
mode. The Armed light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the three-digit programming section
number.

8

2. Enter the three-digit section number corresponding to the section you wish to program.
The Armed light will turn off. The Ready light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the information required
to complete programming the selected section.

3. Enter the information required to complete section programming (i.e.: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).

NOTE: If the three-digit section number entered is invalid, or if the module that pertains to the section is not
present, the keypad will sound a two second error tone.

From an LCD Keypad:

1. From any keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s Code]. The Keypad will display ‘Enter Section’ followed by three dashes.

2. Enter the three-digit number corresponding to the programming section number you wish to program. The keypad
will now display the information required to complete programming the selected section.

3. Enter the information required to complete section programming (i.e.: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section
again and re-enter the information correctly.

NOTE: There must be one digit in each box in the programming section in order for the change to be valid.

3.2 Programming Decimal Data

A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each section requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes, telephone
numbers). If a digit is entered for each program box, the panel will automatically exit from the selected programming
section. The Ready light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.

On the PC1555RKZ and PC5508Z keypads, you can also press the [#] key to exit a programming section without entering
data for every box. This is handy if you only need to change digits in the first few programming boxes. All other digits
in the programming section will remain unchanged.

3.3 Programming HEX Data

On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To program a HEX digit press the [*] key. The panel will enter
HEX programming and Ready light will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers that should be pressed to enter the appropriate HEX digit:

1 = A 2 = B 3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6 = F

Once the correct HEX digit has been entered, the Ready light will continue to flash. If another HEX digit is required, press
the corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the [*] key again. The Ready light will turn on and the panel
will return to regular decimal programming.

Example:

To enter 402C for your SID number, you would enter:[4][0][2][*][3]:
[4][0][2] to enter digit 4-0-2 (ready light is solid),

[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[3] to enter C

NOTE: If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.

9

3.4 Programming Toggle Option Sections

Some programming sections contain several toggle options. The panel will use zone lights 1 through 8 to indicate if the
different options are enabled or disabled. Press the number corresponding to the option to turn it ON or OFF. Once all
the toggle options have been selected correctly, press the [#] key to exit the section and save the changes. The Ready
light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.
Refer to the Programming Worksheets in this manual to determine what each option represents and whether the light
should be ON or OFF for your application.

3.5 Viewing Programming

LED Keypads

Any programming section can be viewed from an LED keypad. When a programming section is entered, the keypad will
immediately display the first digit of information programmed in that section.
The keypad displays the information using a binary format, according to the following chart:
Press any of the Emergency Keys (Fire, Auxiliary or Panic) to advance to the next digit. When all the digits in a section
have been viewed, the panel will exit the section; the Ready Light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON, waiting
for the next three-digit programming section number to be entered. Press the [#] key to exit the section.

LCD Keypad

When a programming section is entered, the keypad will immediately display all the information programmed in that
section. Use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll through the data being displayed. Scroll past the end of the data displayed
or press the [#] key to exit the section.

Program Descriptions

The following section explains the operation of all programmable features and options and provides a summary of all
corresponding programming locations.

4.1 Zone Programming Section [001]

The zone definitions describe how each of the zones you use will operate. Program a two-digit code describing the zone
definition in sections [001]. Enter either 00 if the zone is not used or 11 if the zone is used.

Zone Definitions

[00] Null Zone

The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as Null zones.
[11] 24hr Zone: If the zone is violated, the unit will report to the Central Station, and will log the event to the buffer. This

zone will follow the programmed number of alarms for swinger shutdown.

4.2 Telephone Line Monitor (TLM)

TLM Enable/Disable Section [015]: Toggle option [7]

4.3 Swinger Shutdown

The swinger shutdown feature is designed to prevent a “runaway” communicator from tying up the central station. After
the panel has communicated the programmed number of transmissions for an event, it will no longer report that event
until the swinger shutdown is reset. Different swinger shutdown levels can be set for zone alarms, zone tampers and
maintenance signals.
By default, each Swinger Shutdown limit is set to [003]. The panel will not send more than three signals for each zone
until the swinger shutdown is reset.

4.5 PGM Output Options....[009]

Program the programmable outputs PGM1 and PGM2 on the main board by selecting one of the output options listed
below (exceptions noted).
Main Board PGM OutputsSection [009]

NOTE: PGM outputs cannot be completely disabled in installer’s programming. To disable a PGM output
completely, you must remove all wiring from the output.

[01] Alarm Output

The output will activate when the alarm output is active and will deactivate when the alarm output is silenced. If the alarm
output is pulsing, the PGM output will pulse as well. This output will follow the activation of the alarm output (pre-alert).

[09] System Trouble Output

The PGM output will activate when any of the selected trouble conditions are present. It will deactivate when all the
selected trouble conditions are cleared.
The PGM attributes for this option, programmed in Sections [141] and [142], differ from the standard selection of
attributes.
Program which trouble conditions will activate the output by selecting some or all of the following attributes:

Attribute

[1] Service Required (battery, bell, general trouble, general tamper, general supervisory)
[2] AC Failure
[3] Telephone Line Trouble
[4] Failure to Communicate

[6] Zone Tamper
[7] Zone Low Battery
[8] Loss of Clock

[11] System Tamper (All Sources)

The PGM output will activate when any tamper condition is present and will deactivate when all tampers are restored.

[21]-[24] For future use

13

PGM Output Attributes

In addition to programming the output type, you must also program the PGM output attributes for each output.
PGM output options [09] “System Trouble” and [10] “System Event” have their own unique set of attributes listed below
the description of each output type.
PGM output options [01], [03], [05]-[08], [11]-[20] have the following attributes:

Attribute ON OFF
[1] PGM Enable PGM Disable
[3] True Output Inverted Output

AttributeON: the output energizes when activated
Attribute OFF: the output de-energizes when activated

[4] Output Pulsed Output ON/OFF

Attribute ON: the output will activate once for the amount of time programmed in section [164]
when initiated by the user
Attribute OFF: the output will toggle ON or OFF when initiated by the user.
(Only applicable to options [19]-[20].)

PGM attributes return to their default settings when you change PGM output options. Please see the programming
worksheets for a list of the default settings for each PGM output type.
Be careful when selecting the normal and active states of each PGM output to ensure that an undesirable output state
does not occur after a loss and restore of AC power.

NOTE: If you program more than one PGM output as the same output type (e.g. if PGM1 and PGM2 are both
programmed as [19] Command Output 1), the settings for output attributes [1], [2] and [5] must be the same.
This does not apply to outputs programmed as types [09] and [10].

PGM Output AttributesSection [141]-[142]

4.6 Event Buffer

The panel will store the last 128 events which occurred on the system. The Event Buffer will contain the name, time
and date of each event, along with the zone number, access code number or any other information pertaining to the event.

If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown option is enabled, the event buffer will not store events after the Swinger
Shutdown level has been reached. This will prevent the panel from overwriting the entire buffer if a problem exists.
The event buffer can be viewed in three different ways: from an LCD keypad printed on-site using the PC5400 printer
module, or it can be uploaded using DLS software.
