Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders

The main panel contains zones 1 to 8. Additional zone expanders may be added to increase the number of zones on
the system. Each zone expander consists of two groups of 4 zones and each group must be configured to assign the
specific zones to the expander. This is done by setting the jumpers located on the expander to the proper settings.
Before a zone expander will work properly the jumpers must be set so the panel can determine the
correct zone assignment .
The following are the jumper settings for different zone assignments:
The following are diagrams of the PC5108 and PC5700 zone expander modules and shows where the jumper
switches are located. Refer to the Installation Instructions of each module for more information.
There are two sets of jumpers, one set for the first 4 zones of the expander and one set for the other 4 zones .
In these two diagrams the jumpers settings shown indicate the first group of four zones of the expander will be
zones 9 to 12 and the second group of 4 zones will be 13 to 16. A group of zones can be disabled if they are not
required for the installation.

Keypad Assignment

There are 8 available slots for keypads. LED keypads and the LCD5501Z by default are assigned to slot 1 while
the LCD5500(Z) is assigned by default to slot 8. Keypads can each be assigned to a different slot (1 to 8) which
offers two advantages: (1), The panel can supervise the keypad connection to indicate a trouble condition if it is
removed; and (2), keypads can be assigned to operate a specific partition or operate as a global keypad.
2.6.1

How to Assign Keypads

All keypad assignment must be done at each keypad on the system. When using LCD5500(Z) keypads, one
keypad must remain in slot 8. Do not assign more than one keypad to the same slot.
To assign a keypad to a slot and select the partition it will operate, enter the following:
Step 1 — Enter Installer Programming
Step 2 — Press [000] for Keypad Programming
Step 3 — Press [0] for Partition and Slot Assignment
Enter a two digit number to specify the partition and slot assignment.
1st digit Enter 0 for Global Keypad;
Enter 1 for Partition 1 Keypad;
Enter 2 for Partition 2 Keypad
2nd digit Enter 1 to 8 for Slot Assignment
Press the [#] key twice to exit programming. Continue this procedure at each keypad until all have been assigned to
the correct slot.
