About Your Security System

Y our DSC Power832 Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible

flexibility and convenience. R ead this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your

system's operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. A ll users of this

system should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out the System Information page with all of you

zone information and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Fire DetectionThis equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and provid

a warning if a fire condition is detected. G ood fire detection depends on having adequate number

detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed i n accordance with

NFPA 72 (N .F.P .A ., Batterymarch Park, Q uincey M A 02269). C arefully review the Family Escape

Planning guidelines in this manual.

NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomfunctional.

Testing

To insure that your system continues to function as i ntended, you must test your system weekly.P lease refer to T esting Y our System on page 13 of this manual. I f your system does not function

properly, call your installing company for service.

MonitoringThis system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone

lines to a central station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the central station to

prevent an unnecessary response.

NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional

General System Operation

Y our security system is made up of a D SC Power832 control panel, one or more P ower832 keypads

and various sensors and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility clos

or in a basement. T he metal cab inet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery.

There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service professional to have access to th

control panel.

A ll the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a grou

of zone and system status lights. T he LC D keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LC D

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 connecte

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 LC D keypad.

IMPORTANT NOTICEA security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and if includeyour central station of an emergency situation Security systems are generally very reliable

Access Codes

A ccess codes are used to arm and disarm the system. T here are 37 access codes available: 1 ma

code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 partition master codes. Ask your installer fo

more information on using the duress and partition master codes.

O nly the M aster C ode can be used to program add itional security codes and to change other system

features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. T he M aster C ode will be supplied to you b

your installer. A ll keypad entries are made by pressing one k ey at a time.

A ll access codes can be programmed by following the procedure outlined in Programming Securi

C odes on page 7.

NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer hasprogrammed your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.

Arming the System

Arming from an LED Keypad:If the Ready light is O N , the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is O FF, check to see that

doors and windows are closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. Tsystem cannot be armed unless the Ready light is O N indicating that all zones are closed and the

system is in the R eady state.

Enter your access code. A s each dig it is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. I f the access cod

was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for two seconds. If this occurs, pres

the [#] key and re-enter your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sound

will beep quickly and the Armed light will come O N . Exit the premises through the door indicated b

your installer as the Exit/Entry door.

The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises

without causing an alarm. A t the end of the exit delay period, the Ready light will turn O FF and the

system will be armed. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.

Arming from an LCD Keypad:When this message appears, one or more zones are not secured. To secure the

system, close all doors and windows and cease all motion in areas covered by

motion detectors.

When this message appears, use the arrow (< > ) keys to verify that the system is

clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed unintentionally (see V iewing

Trouble C onditions on page 12 and Z one Bypassing on page 11) .

If this display is showing, the system is in the Ready state and may be fully armeTo arm the system, enter your access code.

O nce the correct access code has been entered, the display will be as shown. T

panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you

exit the premises without causing an alarm. Exit through the door indicated by yo

installer as the Exit/Entry door.

Alternate Arming Methods

Away ArmingA rming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. I f moti

is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence wi

begin. T o arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exi t the premises through a designa

Exi t/Entry door. T he system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. O nce the exit del

expires, the system will be fully armed.If your installer has programmed the A way function key, you can use it at any time to A way arm y

system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to initiate away arming. If your system is stay armed,

pressing the A way key will turn on the interior zones and the system will be away armed.

Audible Exit FaultIn an attempt to reduce false alarms, the A udible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper

exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exi t the premises during

the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will noti

you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the be

siren will sound. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm th

system, and then follow the arming procedure again, mak ing sure to exit the premises in the prope

fashion. Y our installer will tell you if the Aud ible Exi t Fault has been enabled on your system.

Stay ArmingThis feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the

interior zones inactive so that you can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When yo

enter your security code to arm the system and do not exit the premises through a designated Exit/

Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode, automatically bypassing the interior zones.

If your installer has programmed the Stay function key, you can use it at any time to stay arm your

system. P ress and hold the key for 2 seconds to turn on stay arming. I f your system is away armed,

pressing the Stay key will turn off the interior zones and the system will be stay armed.

You can turn the interior zones on again by pressing the Away key or [][1]. If you turn on the interior

zones, do not go into areas covered by motion detectors. T o access areas protected by motion detecto

you must enter your security code and disarm the system, or press the Stay key to turn off interior zones

Arming Without Entry DelayIf you wish to arm your system without the entry delay, enter [ ][ 9] then your access code. T he Arm

light will flash as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. A n entry through any

zone programmed as a delay zone will create an instant alarm.

The entry delay can be activated or deactivated at any time while the system is armed by pressing [ ][

Quick ArmWhen the Q uick Arm feature is enabled, the system may be armed by simply pressing [][0] instead of yo

access code. Please note that pressing [][0] will only allow you to arm the system; to disarm, you must e

Disarming the System

Disarming from an LED Keypad:Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an

immediate alarm. A s soon as the Exi t/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to ind icate that th

system should be disarmed. G o to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is madeentering the code, enter your code again.As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed ligh

will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access

code is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry delay time may be

changed by your installer.

If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, upon disarming the system, the M emory light an

the zone light corresponding to the zone which caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. A fter th

second period , the M emory light and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Re

Fire Escape PlanningThere is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is th

very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.

1. Every family member should participa te in developing the escape plan.

2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur a

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.

C onsider the following when maki ng your escape p lans:

M ake sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily opened. E nsure 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, p lans for

rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the res

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 w

as training in its use.

Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. B e sure to remove snow from exterior patio doin winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.

Each person should k now of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accoun

for i.e. : across the street or at a neighbour's house. O nce everyone is out of the build ing, ca ll
