Keypad Does Not Beep When Delay Door Is Opened While Armed Dsc Pc1555

[Guest mlaviolette]

Hello all,

I had to replace my old DSC Power 632 module for my PC1555 system and I have most of the programming complete (the new one came with an installation manual). I have two issues:

1) if I enter the code to arm the system, exit through one of the delay doors, allow the system to arm, then re-enter the keypads do not beep to warn me to disable the system. The proper zone light is illuminated, but there is no sound. The old module did activate the solid beep on every keypad. What have I missed?

2) what options should I use to program a smoke detector wired as its own zone? I tried instant, delay, and interior but they all light up that zone. It is not wired into PGM2 (there is nothing there). For the moment I have disabled that zone.

Thank you for your time.

Have you wired the system end-of-line or double-end-of-line?

The smoke detector should be be programmed as as FIRE zone - (08 if I remember right...) as your smoke detector is normally OPEN, intrusion detectors are normally CLOSED. You can't put a smoke detector onto the keypad zone - it must be wired onto the main panel.

Not sure why you are not getting entry tones. Do you get exit tones whn setting the stystem? What have you programmed your first entry zone as (the door you open to start the entry delay?)

The door contact you need to make sure the zone is enabled in option 202, toggle whatever zone number it is on, to on. It also needs to be programmed as '01' in menu 001 in whichever zone you have it on.

The smoke needs to be programmed as a 24hr hardwired smoke not sure on the option number in menu 001, and it is normally open and goes closed loop when its in alarm. Whereas all your other devices are normally closed. Thats why its showing that the circuit is open when you programmed it as instant etc

sorry a bit rusty dont fit them anymore!

First I wish to thank both of you for your speedy replies.

I didn't do the wiring, so I don't really know if it is NC, EOL, or DEOL. Is there any easy way to tell from the keybus? Z1-Z4 all have resistors, Z5 (smoke detector) and COMs do not. Z1 is delayed entry (main doors), Z2 is instant (windows except for master bedroom), Z3 is motion detector, Z4 is instant (master bedroom windows). I suspect that the presence of resistors means EOL or DEOL.

I tried programming Z5 as 07 (delayed 24 hour fire) and 08 (standard 24 hour fire). Either way the zone 5 light stays illuminated. But I know that these should work.

It might be easier for me to reinstall the old module and note all of the programming options. It has been without power for over 12 hours. Do you think it has retained the old programming?

It would have been so much easier if the original installer had left the worksheets.

I have found one problem. I misread the instructions on programming section [001]. I thought you had to key in the zone number and the option when in fact you just have to key in the options for each zone. So all of my zone definitions were wrong.

I may still reinstall the old module and write down each and every value just to make sure.

Thanks so much for your time.

I am pretty sure you will still have a tamper on your fire zone if there is no resistor. It sounds like the installer has installed the resistors in the panel instead of the detectors. The insatllation manual has a clear picture of how to wire the smoke detector and resistor up.

does anyone agree with me on this??

01

03

03 (04 in case it is on entry route)

03

08

00 (in case it is empty)

00 (in case it is empty)

00 (in case it is empty)

and you wire Z5 as EOL (single 5k6 resistor in parallel with NO - contact regardless your other EOL programming - not sure about NC since I never used it..)

wire the smoke's negative to PGM1 and program it as "Sensor Reset" (address 009 and input 03 03 )

and remember that 1555 and 608 (PC 5008) addressing do not completely match!

Looks like it, i hate that.

Especially in Fire panels, (edits self b4 fuse blows)
