1.1

About the Power864 System

The Power864 is a high end security system. It supports up to 64
zones, 8 separate partitions, and 32 users.
The user interface is simple and easy to use. The LCD5500Z key-
pad guides users through their available options with easy-to-
understand prompts.
The status of the Power864 system can be monitored over tele-
phone lines, or using an "Alternative" communicating device
(see section 5.26 "LINKS1000/GSM1000 Cellular Communica-
tor" on page 33).
The PC5020 main board comes with 4 programmable outputs,
and you can add up to 10 more using PC5204 and PC5208 mod-
ules. You can program the outputs to control things such as
doorstrikes and lights, using 21 different output options (see sec-
tion 5.12 "Programmable Outputs" on page 28).
You can program the Power864 using any system keypad, or
using DLS-3 downloading software and a computer (see section
Section 3: "How to Program" on page 11).
Before you begin installing the Power864 security system, you
should review the complete Power864 manual set.
