1.1 About the PC5020 System

The PC5020 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 keypad guides users through their available
options with easy-to-understand prompts.
The status of the PC5020 system can be monitored over
telephone lines, or using an alternative communicating
device, including LINKS1000, LINKS2X50, LINKS3000,
Skyroute™ and DVACS*.
The PC5020 main board comes with 4 programmable out-
puts, and you can add up to 12 more using PC5204 and
PC5208 modules. You can program the outputs to control
things such as doorstrikes and lights, using 25 different
output options. See 'Programmable Outputs' in Section 5.
You can program the PC5020 using any system keypad,
or using DLS-3 downloading software and a computer.
See 'How to Program' on page 10.
