1832

DSC Powerseries 1616 1832 and 1864 are all basically the same system, with different number of zones, codes and limits. With this in mind some of the programming changes slightly between models. If you've worked with DSC before you'll have no trouble picking this up.

3) XXXX new 4-digit code.

4) #, # to quit.

Reset installer code

If you have lost the installer code, the system must be factory defaulted and reprogrammed.

Factory default system

1) Power the panel down.

2) Remove any wires from the zone 1 and PGM 1 terminal.

3) Wire a loop of cable between them, shorting the 2 terminals out.

4) Power the panel up and after 10 seconds everything should be defaulted and you can remove the wire loop. If not, the panel may be locked.

5) The way to test if the panel has been successfully defaulted is to try *8 5555.

Listen when the panel powers up, if it clicks back and forth 10 times the panel is locked, you are going to have to replace the board.

1) Once in programming mode pressing #, #, # will exit out of programming.

Programming Rules

Once in programming mode, enter a 3-digit location number.

E.g 006 to change the installer code.

When you have successfully entered a location (three beeps) you will either be able to enter numerical data, like a phone number or toggle options (1-8) on and off.

* is typically save/progress.
# will take you back out of the location.

When programming numerical data, 0-9 will programme numbers and * will toggle hexadecimal on/off:

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