About Your Security System

Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on system operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out the System Information page and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Testing

To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, it is important that you test your system weekly. See the testing procedure elsewhere in this manual. If your system does not function properly, call your installing company for service.

General System Operation

Your security system is made up of a DSC PC1150 Control Panel and various sensors and detectors. The control panel is designed to be mounted flush with a wall in a conveniently accessible location. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service personnel to have access to the control panel. The PC1150 keypad has an audible indicator (buzzer), a group of zone and system status lights and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The security station will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/ exit door(s).

The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will have one or more sensors connected to it (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). When a sensor is in alarm, the affected zone will be indicated on the PC1150 (Zone Lights 1 through 4).

Important Notice

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a monitoring station, of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system operations.
