DSC PowerSeries Neo Quick Programming Guide

[tyler (Tyler G)]

Installer programming allows the installer to program all system functions.

To enter Installer Programming:

1. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
2. Enter the installer code.

Enrolling Wireless Zones

To enter Wireless Device Enrollment:

1. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Press [804] for the section.
4. Press [000] to enroll devices.

Insert the sensor’s batteries and press and hold the learn button (located under the plastic casing of any given zone) until both LEDs light solid. The panel should automatically recognize the wireless sensor and ask to confirm the sensor’s ID, usually found:

• on the box
• on the sensor’s housing near the learn button
• on the PCB

If the panel does not recognize the sensor, manually enter its ID on that same screen and move through the rest of programming (assigning the zone a label, partition, and definition).

PowerSeries NEO Sensor Group Information

DSC PowerSeries Neo - Sensor Groups

Sensor groups The following table lists the DSC PowerSeries Neo sensor groups. Note: To report temperature to Alarm.com, sensor groups 56 or 57 must be used. Sensor Group Zone Definition Description 0 Null Zone Assign to all unused zones. 1 Delay 1 Commonly assigned to primary points of entry. Follows entry delay 1 and exit delay timers (section [005]). Arming the alarm system starts the exit delay timer. After the exit delay has expired, opening the door starts the entry delay timer…

Enrolling zones in multiple partitions

The DSC PowerSeries Neo allows zones to be enrolled in multiple partitions. Additionally, the sensor will not go into alarm unless all partitions that it is in armed. This is a hardcoded panel setting, not an Alarm.com setting.

Note: Sensors in multiple partitions report in the lowest partition number to which they are assigned (e.g., a sensor in partitions 2, 5, 6 and 8 will display as only a partition 2 sensor), but will still operate as expected.

To delete wireless zones:

1. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Press [804] for the section.
4. Press [901] to Delete Zones.
5. Scroll to the zone to be deleted, then press [*].
6. Press [#] to exit programming.

Common Programming Instructions

To delete keypads:

1. Physically remove the keypad.
2. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
3. Enter the installer code.

To associate a keyfob to a user code:

1. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Press [804] for the section.
4. Press the keypad number to configure. For keyfob 1 go to [601], for keyfob 2 go to [602], and so on.
5. Press [020] to access user configuration. The user number displays on the keypad.

To disable sensor supervision:

If a keyfob or a panic is enrolled as a sensor, supervision can be disabled, so it is not constantly causing troubles.

1. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Press [804] for the section.
4. Enter the zone number.
5. Scroll to Supervision, then press [*].
6. Press [#] to exit programming.

To enter the interactive services menu:

The Interactive Services menu can be used to access information about the HSPA module, install or remove Z-Wave devices and configure or troubleshoot other interactive features.

1. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Press [851] for the section.

Enroll/delete Z-Wave devices

How To enroll/delete Z-Wave devices using the DSC PowerSeries Neo panel

To Add a Z-Wave Device Press [*][8] . Enter the installer code to enter installer programming. Enter [ 851] for Interactive Services . Press the arrow keys to scroll to Z-Wave Setup , then press [*] to select. Press the arrow keys to scroll to Add Z-Wave Device , then press [*] to select. Trigger a device to add it to the network. When a device is added successfully, the panel beeps. It is required to re-enter Add Mode before triggering the next device. Devices should show up on the A…

Troubleshooting

If the zone is not communicating:

1. For a Not Networked zone trouble, tamper the sensor a few times and re-secure the plastic housing. If the batteries are left in a sensor too long before it is enrolled in a panel, it leaves auto-add mode — tampering causes the sensor to start reaching out for a panel again.
2. Verify the ID in the panel matches up with the ID on the sensor. To verify the sensor ID:
3. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
4. Enter the installer code.
5. Press [804] for the section.
6. Press [990] to Show All Devices.
7. Press [001] to view the Zones.
8. Scroll to the zone to view its ID number.
9. Press [#] to exit programming.
10. Verify supervision for the zone is set to Y. This indicates the setting is enabled. To verify zone supervision:
11. Press [*][8] to enter programming.
12. Enter the installer code.
13. Press [804] for the section.
14. Navigate to the zone to verify either using the arrows to scroll or enter the 3-digit zone number (i.e., for sensor ID 3, enter [003]).
15. Press [*] to configure the zone.
16. For Supervision, press [4] to toggle it to Y.
17. Press [#] to exit programming.
