Thanks for the info. I bought a new remote (same as I currently have) and need to code it to the alarm system which has already been programmed. Can't find instructions on how to do this.
Adding a wireless contact, I inadvertently made my front door (Zone 1) to show it being open, when in fact the door is closed. How do I go back and correct this to show that the door is closed or open correctly? Thank you!
My 5500 keypad displays low battery key 2. Cannot find key 1 in 804 any help finding key 1 and key 2 locations. Also moved this keypad from my old house to my new one. Used to display open zones but doesn’t now?
Using pk5501 followed the quick start and video. Have 4 zones. 1 being front door (delay), 2 interior door (instant), 3 motion (set to 5), 4 interior (instant). My motion does not work. Thought it was a bad sensor and changed. Same result. Is there something I’m missing? What should the attributes on this be?
@@AlarmSystemStore any ideas why it does not operate? I checked, and I have 12v at the board, and terminals are nc/c How would I program/re program just the motion w/o erasing the system. Thanks btw
We purchased a home with a media panel and this alarm system with motion detectors. I unplugged it because we had no information on how to set it up. It has been 9 months since we moved in and now I am ready to tackle this installation. HELP!!! I have no codes from the previous owner and I really am not sure where to begin, other than plug it back into the media outlet and I have the alarm box as shown above. I don't really even know what else to do. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.

Strobes dont normally beep so I assuem you are talking about a siren doing this. Yes, the option is called "bell squawk on arm / disarm" It is off by default though. This is in program section 014, opt 1.
How do I reprogram after canceling our monitor service to stop sending signals to avoide the error code 4 ? The person keeps saying we need a service call or get monitoring again. Can I just disconnect the communication wire?
Unplugging the phone cable will still generate the FTC / Comm error. Only way to resolve it will be to deprogram comms in the system. If you don't have the installer code though you will be unable to do so.
@@straighttothepoint364 RUclips "DSC factory reset". If it's had installer lock enabled though it will not reset the code and there is no way around it.
Too many possibilities to really explain each here but.. programming, wiring, contact itself, zone def used. You really just need to explore each. If you have multiple contacts on one zone, perhaps you've wired them in parallel rather than series.
@@AlarmSystemStore ive checked the wiring and the contact itself. Any ideas on zone definitions? What zone definition is for a magnetic contact that stays on?
When I power up the system and connects the bell I get a low yelp alarm from it. When I measure the bell output I constantly have about 12 V from the output. If I trigger an alarm the siren works att full volume so the system seems to work, but I cant get rid of the low volume alert sound! Any ideas what to do?
There is always supervisory voltage on the bell output. Generally the siren is not sensitive enough to sound from this. If it does though, you will need to add a resistor. I don't recall the value off hand but I'm thinking it's a 1k.

You missed the easy way .... FLOW Chart programming of the panel ... no manual required ..... it flows to each section like the manual reads but o the LCD keypad .... POWER series PK5500 lcd brought it out first but never advertised the feature ...
There is no dress code for programming. Wear whatever you wish when programming, LOL. The duress code is programmed in *5 menu just like a user code. Just make it a duress by enabling attribute 2 in the user code section. We have a video about user codes in our play list BTW. Not sure it specifically addresses duress codes but like I said a duress is a user code with option 2 enabled so it's pretty much done the same.
There are several steps to partitioning a system, most of the programming step in the panel. There is one however in the keypad programming and that is why resetting the system didn't resolve it. From this particular keypad you need to go into keypad programming 000. Going off memory but I believe you hit 0 again to get to partition and slot which is where you change the partition that this pad is assigned to.
Horrible place to buy a product. The support folks lie about products being a direct replacement. I bought 4 Smoke Detectors that were not NOT a direct replacement. Lost money and buyer beware!
Rick, the 4WB series is indeed the replacement for the old 2412 series. Call System Sensor yourself and ask, we're not lying. No one here is commissioned or incentivized to do that anyway... check yourself www.systemsensor.com Nonetheless, submit an RMA here and we'll refund you.

What a horrible description on what zone type to use for motions. It should be a zone type 4 Interior follower. If you program as 5 and your walk across your living room to turn off your alarm by the front door the alarm trips because you walked in front of the motion that has been programed as an instant. The interior follower knows you've open an entry exit zone and will give you time to disarm BUT if you come through a living room window and walk in front of the motion it goes of instantly because you did not open an entry exit zone, and yes they will also shut off when armed as stay.
Might wanna brush up on your DSC zone definitions. From the manual: [05] Interior Stay/Away: Similar to ‘Interior’ except that panel will auto-bypass the zone if Armed in the Stay mode 05 is in fact an interior. The only differnce is it allows you to automatically bypass in stay mode in case you want to arm at night and walk around without tripping the motions. 04 is generally only used in commercial where that is not needed.

How to programing 2 keypad difference funtions ??

any video on how to add zones to partitions?

Yes that would work assuming your panel isn't using resistors. If it is however, you would need to use a 5.6k resistor to jumper it there.
