About Your Security System

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

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

system's operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. All 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 Detection

This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing

a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate number of

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

NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape

Planning guidelines in this manual.

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

functional.

Testing

To insure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.

Please refer to “Testing Your System” on page 13 of this manual. If your system does not function

properly, call your installing company for service.

Monitoring

This 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

Your security system is made up of a DSC Power832 control panel, one or more Power832 keypads

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

or in a basement. The metal cabinet 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 the

control panel.

All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group

of zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).

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 connected

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 LCD keypad.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –

your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but

they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices

or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified

security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided

and on system operations.
