Getting Started
S E C T I O N 2
The following sections provide a thorough description of how to
wire and configure devices and zones.
2.1 Installation Steps
Read this section completely efore you egin. Once you have
an overall understanding of the installation process, carefully
work through each step.
Step 1: Create a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the uilding to get an idea of where all
alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are to e
located.
Step 2: Mounting the Panel
Locate the panel in a dry area close to an unswitched AC power
source and the incoming telephone line. Before attaching the
ca inet to the wall, e sure to press the four circuit oard
mounting studs into the ca inet from the ack. After you have
attached the ca inet to the wall, stick the provided DSC logo
sticker on the front of the ca inet.
You must complete all wiring before connecting
the battery, or applying AC to the panel
.....
Step 3: Wiring the Keybus
(Section 2.3)
Wire the Key us to each of the modules following the guidelines
provided in Section 2.3 of this manual.
Step 4: Zone Wiring (Section 2.8)
You must power down the control panel to complete all zone
wiring. Please refer to Section 2.8 when connecting zones using
normally closed loops, single EOL resistors, dou le EOL resistors,
Fire zones and Keyswitch Arming zones.
Step 5: Complete Wiring
(Section 2.2)
Complete all other wiring including ells or sirens, telephone
line connections, and ground connections following the
guidelines provided in Section 2.2 (“Terminal Descriptions”).
Step 6: Power up the Control
Once all zone and Key us wiring is complete, power up the
control panel. First, connect the red attery lead to the positive
terminal and the lack lead to negative. Then, connect the AC.
Connect the battery before connecting the AC.
The panel will not power up on the battery
connection alone.
Step 7: Keypad Assignment (Section 2.5)
In order for keypads to e properly supervised, each must e
assigned to a different slot. Please follow the guidelines provided
in Section 2.5 when assigning keypads.
Step 8: Supervision ( Section 2.6 )
The supervision of every module y the panel is automatically
ena led upon power up. Please verify that all modules appear
on the system according to the instructions in Section 2.6.
Step 9: Programming the System (Sections 4 and 5)
Section 4 explains how to program the panel. Section 5 contains
a complete description of the various programma le features,
which options are availa le and how they function. The
Programming Worksheets should e filled out completely efore
attempting to program the system.
Step 10: Testing the System
The panel must e thoroughly tested to ensure that all features
and functions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
Battery Connection
A 12V 4Ah recharga le attery is used as a ackup source of
power in the event of an AC power failure. The attery also
provides additional current when the panel’s demands exceed
the power output of the transformer, such as when the panel is
in alarm.
The High Current Charge/Standard Battery Charge option
(section [701], option [7]) allows you to choose etween a high
current attery charge and the standard attery charge rate.
Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is
complete. Connect the battery before connecting
the AC.
Connect the RED attery lead to the positive attery terminal;
connect the BLACK lead to negative.
AC Terminals – AC
The panel requires a 16.5 volt, 40VA transformer. Connect the
transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect the
transformer to these terminals.
The panel can e programmed to accept a power line frequency
of either 50Hz AC or 60Hz AC in programming section [701],
option [1].
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
a wiring short), the panel will temporarily shut off the output until
the pro lem is corrected.
Bell Output Terminals – BELL+ and BELL-
These terminals provide up to 700 mA of continuous current at
12 VDC for powering ells, sirens, stro es or other warning-type
equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm warning
device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. Please note that
the Bell output is protected: if too much current is drawn from
these terminals (such as a wiring short), the Bell PTC will open.
Three amps can e drawn for short periods only.
The Bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning devices are
in use, connect a 1000Ω resistor across BELL+ and BELL– to
prevent the panel from displaying a trou le condition. For more
information, please refer to Section 3.4 (“[✱] [2] Trou le Display”).
Keybus Terminals – AUX+, AUX-, YEL, G N
The Key us is used y the panel to communicate with modules
and vice versa. Each module has four Key us terminals that
must e connected to the four Key us terminals on the panel.
For more information, see Section 2.3 (“Key us Operation and
Wiring”).

G E T T I N G S T A R T E D
4
Programmable Output Terminals – PGM1 and
PGM2
Each PGM output is designed so that when activated y the
panel, the terminal will switch to ground.
PGM1 can sink up to 50mA of current.
Connect the positive side of the LED or
uzzer to AUX+, the negative side to PGM1.
If more than 50 mA of current are required,
a relay must e used. Please study PGM
wiring in the accompanying diagram.
PGM2 operates similarly to PGM1. For a
list of the programma le output options,
please see Section 5.11 “PGM Output
Options.”
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z6
Each detection device must e connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device e
connected to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices to a
single zone, however, is possi le. For zone wiring specifics,
please see Section 2.8 (“Zone Wiring”).
Telephone Connection Terminals –
TIP, ING, T-1, -1
If a telephone line is required for central station communication
or downloading, connect an RJ-31X telephone jack in the
following manner:
Connect the PC5008 and modules which use the telephone
line(s) in the following order:
For example, if you are installing a PC5008 with a LINKS1000
and a PC5928 Intercom module, connect the incoming line to
the LINKS1000, then from the LINKS1000 to the PC5008, then
from the PC5008 to the PC5928 Intercom and then from the
PC5928 to the house telephones.
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 .
2.3 Keybus Operation and Wiring
The Key us is used y the panel to communicate with all
connected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and lack
(AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the yellow
(YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data respectively.
The four Keybus terminals of the panel must be
connected to the four Keybus terminals or wires
of all modules.
The following restrictions apply to Key us wiring:
• Key us should e run in minimum 22 gauge quad (0.5mm);
two pair twist is preferred.
• The modules should e home-run to the panel ut can e
connected in series or T-tapped.
• Any module can e connected anywhere along the Key us. You
do not need to run a separate Key us wire for keypads, etc.
• No module can e more than 1,000'/330m (in wire length)
from the panel.
• Shielded wire should not e used.
Example of Keybus Wiring
NOTE:
Module (A) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/330m of
wire from the panel.
Module (B) is correctly
wired within 1,000'/330m of
wire from the panel.
Module (C) is NOT wired correctly as it is further than 1,000'/
330m from the panel, in wire distance.
2.4 Current atings – Modules and
Accessories

2.5 Keypad Assignment
There are eight availa le slots for keypads. LED keypads y
default are always assigned to slot 1. LCD5500Z keypads are
always assigned to slot 8. You will need to assign each keypad
to its own slot (1 to 8). Keypad assignment is required, as it tells
the panel which slots are occupied. The panel can then generate
a fault when a keypad supervisory is not present.
One LCD keypad must be assigned to slot 8 in
order to upload keypad programming using
DLS-1 software.
How to Assign Keypads
Do the following at each keypad installed on the system:
1. Enter [✱][8][installer’s code] to go to installer programming
2. Enter [000] for Keypad Programming
3. Enter [0] for Slot Assignment
4. Enter a two digit num er (11-18) to specify which supervisory
slot the keypad will occupy.
5. Press [#] twice to exit installer programming.
After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset y
entering section [902] in installer’s programming. The panel will
now supervise all assigned keypads and enrolled modules on
the system.
How to Program Function Keys
By default, the 5 function keys on each keypad are programmed
as Stay Arm (03), Away Arm (04), Chime (06), Quick Exit (14)
and Sensor Reset (16). You can change the function of each key
on every keypad:
1. Go to the keypad where you want to change the function key
programming and enter Installer Programming.
2. Press [000] for Keypad Programming.
3. Enter [1] to [5] to select a function key to program.
4. Enter the 2 digit num er, [00] to [17] to select the feature you
want the function key to have. For a complete list of Function
Key options
See Section 3.5 “Function Keys” .
5. Continue from step 3 until all function keys are programmed.
6. To exit Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
2.6 Supervision
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation.
Supervision is ena led at all times so that the panel can indicate
a trou le if a module is removed from the system.
To check on which modules are currently connected and
supervised, enter programming section [903] from installer’s
programming. The LCD keypad will allow you to scroll through
the display of connected modules. A connected module which
does not show as eing present will appear as a trou le
condition and the Trou le light on the keypad will turn ON. This
condition may e due to one or more of the following reasons:
• the module is not connected to the Key us
• there is a Key us wiring pro lem
• the module is more than 1,000'/330m from the panel
• the module does not have enough power
For more information regarding module supervision trou les,
please refer to Section 3.4 (“[✱] [2] Trou le Conditions”).
2.7 emoving Modules
The panel must e instructed to no longer supervise a module
eing removed from the system. To remove the module, disconnect
it from the Key us and reset the supervision field y entering [902]
in the installer’s programming . The panel will e reset to recognize
and supervise all existing modules on the system.
2.8 Zone Wiring
For a complete description of the operation of all zone types,
please refer to Section 5.2 (“Zone Programming”).
There are several different ways in which zones may e wired,
depending on which programming options have een selected.
The panel can e programmed to supervise normally closed, End
of Line, or Dou le End of Line loops. Please refer to the following
diagrams to study each type of individually supervised zone wiring.
Any zone programmed for Fire or 24 Hour Supervi-
sory must be wired with a single End of Line (EOL)
resistor regardless of the type of zone wiring
supervision selected for the panel (section [013]:
[1] -[2]). See Section 5.2 “Zone Programming.”
If you change the zone supervision options from
DEOL to EOL or from NC to DEOL (section [013],
options [1] or [2]), you should power down the
system completely, and then power it back up. If
you do not, the zones may not work correctly.
Normally Closed (NC) Loops
To ena le normally closed loops, programming section [013],
option [1] must e ON.
This option should only be selected if Normally
Closed (NC) detection devices or contacts are
being used
.....
Single End Of Line (EOL) esistors (5600Ω)
To ena le panel detection of single end of line resistors,
programming section [013], options [1] and [2] must e OFF.

G E T T I N G S T A R T E D
6
This option should be selected if either Normally
Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) detection
devices or contacts are being used .
Double End of Line (DEOL) esistors
Dou le End of Line resistors allow the panel to determine if the
zone is in alarm, tampered or faulted.
To ena le panel detection of dou le end of line resistors,
programming section [013], option [1] must e OFF and option
[2] must e ON.
If the Double EOL supervision option is enabled,
all hardwire zones on the main panel must be
wired for Double EOL resistors, except for Fire
and 24 Hour Supervisory zones.
Do not wire DEOL resistors on keypad zones.
Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones or 24
Hour Supervisory zones. Do not wire Fire zones
to keypad zone terminals if the DEOL supervision
option is selected.
This option can only be selected if Normally
Closed (NC) detection devices or contacts are
being used.
Only one NC contact can be connected to each
zone.Wiring multiple detection devices or
contacts on a single loop is not allowed .
The following chart shows zone status under certain conditions:
Loop Resistance Loop Status
0Ω (shorted wire, loop shorted) Fault
5600Ω (contact closed) Secure
Infinite ( roken wire, loop open) Tamper
11200Ω (contact open) Violated

2.9 Fire Zone Wiring
4-Wire Smoke Detectors
All fire zones must e wired according to the following diagram:
2.10 24-Hr Auxiliary Input Wiring (PGM2)
If PGM2 has een programmed
for 24-hour operation, the zone
must e wired according to the
following diagram:
2.11 LINKS Zone Wiring
LINKS Support
When using the LINKS 1000
cellular communicator, connect
the LINKS to the main panel
according to the following
diagram:
LINKS Supervision (24 Hour Supervisory)
When using the LINKS 1000 cellular
communicator, any main oard
zone may e configured for LINKS
Supervision. Program this zone as
zone type [09], 24 Hour Supervisory
in section [001].
With a LINKS Supervisory zone, if
the LINKS 1000 experiences a
trou le, the zone will e violated,
causing the panel to report the
event to the central station. This
type of zone
always requires a
single EOL resistor (5600Ω).
Wire this zone according to the a ove diagram.
LINKS Answer
When using the LINKS 1000
cellular communicator, any main
oard zone may e configured
for LINKS Answer.
A zone configured for LINKS
Answer allows downloading to
e performed in the event of
telephone line failure. When the
LINKS receives a telephone call,
it will activate the RING terminal
on the LINKS circuit oard. The
zone programmed as LINKS
Answer
always requires a single
EOL resistor (5600Ω).
Wire the LINKS Answer zone according to the a ove diagram.
The LINKS Answer zone is only required for
downloading to the panel via the LINKS.
When using the LINKS, BusyTone Detection must
not be used.
Keypad zones cannot be used for 24 Hour
Supervisory or LINKS Answer.

2.12 Keypad Zones
Each “z” keypad on the system has a zone input to which a
device - such as a door contact - can e connected. This saves
you from running wires ack to the control panel for every
device.
To install the keypad, open the keypad plastic y removing the
screw at the ottom of the unit. Locate the five terminals on the
keypad circuit oard. Connect the four Key us wires from the
control panel: the red wire to R, the lack to B, the yellow to Y
and the green to G.
To connect the zone, run one wire to the Z terminal and the other
to B. For powered devices, use red and lack to supply power
to the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and
the lack wire to the B (negative) terminal.
When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according
to one of the configurations outlined in Section 2.8 “Zone
Wiring.” End of line resistors must be placed on the device
end of the loop, not at the keypad.
Keypad zones do not support DEOL resistors.
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must e
assigned a zone num er in Installer’s Programming.
First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into the
desired slots. (See Section 2.5 “Keypad Enrollment.”)
Next, enter programming section [020] to assign the zones.
There are eight programming locations in this section, one for
each keypad slot. Enter a 2-digit zone num er for each of the
keypad zones. This num er must e entered in the location
corresponding to the keypad to which each zone is connected.
Keypad zones 1-6 will replace zone terminals Z1-
Z6 on the control panel.
Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must
also program zone definitions and zone attributes.
(See also Section 5.4 “Assigning Keypad Zones”).

Use any system keypad to enter commands and/or program the
PC5008 security system. The LED keypad uses function and
zone indicator lights to represent alarm functions and status. If
you have a PC1555RKZ keypad, the System light acts as a
Trou le, Memory, Program and Bypass indicator. Unlike other
LED keypads, these conditions will only e represented y the
System light. The LCD keypad provides a written description on
the liquid crystal display and uses function indicator lights to
communicate alarm status to the user.
The PC5008 Instruction Manual provides asic directions for
arming and disarming the system, ypassing zones and
performing user functions from the keypads. The following
sections provide additional details on these functions.
3.1 Arming and Disarming
For a description of asic arming and disarming, please see the
PC5008 Instruction Manual. For other methods of arming, please
refer to Section 3.4 (“[✱] [0] Quick Arm” and “[✱] [9] Arming
Without Entry Delay”) and Section 3.5 (“Function Keys”).
The Event Buffer will log“Armed in Stay Mode”or
“Armed in Away Mode” whenever the system is
armed.
In an attempt to prevent false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will
notify the user of an improper exit when they arm their system.
If a non force-arming Delay 1 or Delay 2 type zone is left open
at the end of the exit delay, the entry delay will egin immediately
and the ell or siren will sound a steady alarm for the entry delay
period. At the end of the entry delay period, if the system has not
een disarmed it will go into alarm. This feature can e turned
OFF in programming section [013], option [6]. (See section 5.17
“Arming / Disarming Options” for more information.)
3.2 Auto Bypass – Stay Arming
Stay arming allows the user to arm the system without leaving the
premises. All zones programmed as stay/away will e ypassed
when the user stay arms the system, so that the user does not
have to ypass interior zones manually. (See section 5.2 “Zone
Programming”.)
When the system is armed using a valid access code, if any
zones on the system have een programmed as stay/away
zones, the Bypass light will turn ON. The panel will then monitor
all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2 zones, such as
designated entry/exit doors. If a delay zone is not violated y the
end of the exit delay, the panel will ypass all stay/away zones.
The Bypass light will remain ON to inform the user that the interior
zones have een automatically ypassed y the panel. If a
delay zone is violated during the exit delay, the system will arm
in Away mode and all stay/away zones will e active after the exit
delay expires.
The user can arm the stay/away zones at any time y entering
the [✱]
[1] keypad command (see Section 3.4 “[✱] [1] Zone
Bypass”).
Stay arming can also e initiated y pressing and holding the
Stay function key for two seconds on the PC5508Z and LCD5500Z
keypads, if programmed y the installer. For more information
regarding Stay arming, please see Section 3.5 (“Function Keys”).
3.3 Automatic Arming
The system can e programmed to Auto-Arm at a specific time
every day if it is in the disarmed condition. In order for the Auto-
Arm function to work properly, you must program the correct
Time of Day. For programming the clock and auto-arm times,
see Section 3.4 (“[✱] [6] User Functions”).
When the system’s internal clock matches the Auto-Arm Time,
the panel will check the system status. If the system is armed,
the panel will do nothing until the next day at the Auto-Arm
Time, when it will check the system again. If the system is
disarmed at the auto-arm time, the panel will sound the uzzer
of all keypads for one minute. If the Bell Squawk During Auto
Arm option is ena led (section [014], option [2]), the ell will
squawk once every 10 seconds while the system is auto-arming.
If a valid Access code is entered, Auto-Arming will e a orted.
If Auto-arm is cancelled, the number of the user
who cancelled the auto-arm will be logged in the
Event Buffer.
If no code is entered, the panel will auto-arm. If a zone is
violated, the panel will transmit a Partial Closing Reporting
Code – if programmed – to indicate to the central station that the
system is not secure. If the zone is restored, the panel will add
the zone ack into the system.
Auto arming can only be cancelled by entering a
valid access code at any keypad.
3.4 [✱] Commands
The [✱] key commands provide an easy way for the user to
access asic system programming – such as programming
access codes or ypassing zones. The user can also use the
[✱]
key commands to check on the system’s status, including
viewing trou le conditions and displaying the event uffer on
the LCD keypad.
The [✱]
key commands can e performed from oth LCD and
LED keypads. The LED keypad uses the zone indicator lights to
display command information. The LCD display provides written
information, guiding the user through each command. The
commands in this section are explained as viewed from an LED
keypad. When using an LCD keypad, use the arrow keys (< >)
to scroll through information provided. Otherwise, the functions
remain the same for oth keypad types.
[✱]
[1] Bypassing and Activating Stay/Away Zones
Use the [✱] [1] keypad command to ypass individual zones. A
ypassed zone will not cause an alarm.
Zones can only be bypassed when the system is
not armed.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is ena led (section
[015], option [5]), only access codes with the ypass attri ute
ena led will e a le to ypass zones (see Section 5.1
“Programming Security Codes”).
If the BypassStatus Displayed WhileArmed option is chosen,
the Bypass (or System) light will e ON while the system is
armed to indicate any ypassed zones (see Section 5.17
“Arming / Disarming Options”).
When you disarm the system, all manually-
bypassed zones will be unbypassed.
Activate Stay/Away Zones
If the system is armed in stay mode
, the [✱] [1] command can e
used to activate the stay/away zones.
