Introduction; System Features - DSC WP8033 Installer's Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

WP8033 is a PowerG-enabled professional all-in-one wireless security, fire and safety system supporting advanced
applications and DSC's PowerG™ Two-Way, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) wireless technology. This offers unmatched wireless robustness, superior range and long battery life; a
perfect and user friendly solution for both monitoring service providers and professional installers.
The system consists of the WP8033 control panel that does not include a built-in keypad and that operates in
conjunction with a wireless keypad display device. The control panel accommodates all control circuitry and operation
software for a programmable 64-zone alarm system, while the keypad display unit enables the installer and the user to
enter their commands and provides visual and audible feedback.
The system is supplied with 3 instruction manuals:
 WP8033 Installer's Guide (this manual) – for use of system installer during system installation.
 The Keypad Installer's Guide -– for use of system installer during keypad installation and WP8033 configuration.
 The Keypad User's Guide -– also for use of system installer during system installation and configuration, but also for
the master user of the system, once installation is completed. Hand over this manual to the master user of the system.

Description
The WP8033 when used with PGx9934 PIR-
camera detector and GPRS communication
is able to provide the Monitoring Station with
clips captured in alarm situations. The
system sends the clips to the Monitoring
Station automatically for burglary alarms and,
depending on setup, also for fire and
personal emergency alarms.
The WP8033 can provide images from the
PGx9934 by demand from a remote
PowerManage server. Pictures are taken
based on a command from the monitoring
station. To protect customers' privacy, the
system can be customized to enable the "On
Demand View" only during specific system
modes (i.e. Disarm, Home & Away) and also
to a specific time window following an alarm
event.
PowerG devices are enrolled from the control
panel. "Pre-enrollment" can also be
performed by entering the PowerG device ID
number and then activating the device in the
vicinity of the panel.
Device parameters and related system
behavior can be configured from the keypad
or from a remote location.
Each PowerG device has its own settings
which can be configured through the keypad
by entering the "DEVICE SETTINGS" menu.
