PowerSeries - PC1616/PC1832/PC1864

1.1 Keybus Wiring

The 4-wire KEYBUS (red, black, yellow and green) is the communication connection between the control panel and all modules.
The 4 KEYBUS terminals of all modules must be connected to the 4 KEYBUS terminals of the main control panel.
The following rules must be followed when wiring the Keybus:
• Minimum 22 AWG wire, maximum 18 AWG (2-wire twisted preferred
• Do NOT use shielded wire
• Modules can be home run, connected in series or can be T-tapped pro-
vided that the maximum wire distance from the control panel to any
module does not exceed 1,000 feet (305m)
• No more than 3,000 feet (915m) of wire can be used in total

1.2 Zone Wiring

Zones can be wired for Normally Open, Normally Closed Contacts with
Single-end-of-line (SEOL) resistors or Double End-of-Line (DEOL) resis-
tors. Observe the following guidelines
For UL Listed Installations use SEOL or DEOL only.
•
• Minimum 22 AWG wire, maximum 18 AWG
• Do NOT use shielded wire
• Wire run resistance shall not exceed 100Ω. Refer to the chart below

• Section [001]-[004] Selects Zone Definition
• Section [013] Opt [1] Selects Normally Closed or EOL resistors
• Section [013] Opt [2] Selects Single EOL or Double EOL resistors.
• Section [101]-[108] Opt [14], [15], [16] Selects Normally Closed Single
EOL or Double EOL for on-board zones (PC1864, PC1832,Zone 1-8;
PC1616, Zone 1-6),
Zone Status - Loop Resistance/Loop Status
• Fault - 0Ω (shorted wire/loop)
• Secure - 5600Ω (contact closed)

1.3 Zone Expanders

Zone expanders add zones in groups
of eight to the Alarm system. Module
jumpers J1,J2,J3 are required to
assign zones to these modules.
Jumper settings for PC5108v2 are
shown here.
•
PC5108v1.0 supports first 32 zones only.
•
PC5700 enrolls as two modules
•
Do NOT use PC5108v1 &v2 on the same
panel.0

1.4 Bell Wiring

These terminals supply 700mA of current at 12VDC for commercial installations and 11.1-12.6 VDC for
residential installations (e.g.DSC SD-15 WULF). To comply with NFPA 72 Temporal Three Pattern
requirements: Program Section [013] Opt [8] ON.
NOTE: Steady, Pulsed alarms are also supported.
The Bell output is supervised and power limited by 2A PTC. If unused, connect a 1000Ω resistor across Bell+
and Bell- to prevent the panel from displaying a trouble. See [ ][2].
