Finally i managed to setup and program the DSC 1832 security system in my house… but siren is not working even after i arm the panel and if i open the door.??? Do i need to do any setup or programming for the siren???
I am using the below kit …
DSC Panel does not say anything if i open any zones…I want to set up the panel to alert(With audible voice from Panel) me if my kids open any zones.
Example : Basement door has been opened…bla bla…
How can i setup this ???
How to arm and disarm from the DSC 1832 panel.??? and whats the difference between Away and Stay on the panel???
Siren is not working when the system is armed and instant zone is opened… I tried with all 1 to 6 zones. The DSC Panel displays the zone number which is opened but no siren…
I even tested the siren connecting to battery. Siren is good.
Do i need to do any program to activate the siren or any system options need to be switched on or need to upgrade any version?.
Pls suggest.
OK good the Siren works! What do you have set as the definition for each zone? They should either be set up as something like 01,02,03,04 or 05!
Also the if the zone attributes are set for silent alarm, then you will not hear anything! You will need to go into section 101 (zone 1) and make sure the first attribute (1) is displayed on and not blank I think! To toggle these 8 attributes on and off then then you need to press the corresponding number on the keypad.
e.g: *8 [installer code] 101 1 ##
If this works (and this is what the issue was) then zone 2 is section 102, zone 3 is 103 etc etc, and you’ll want to make those changes there too!
if it’s a wireless device, install using section 804
section 202 (zones 1-8), 203 (9-16), etc, enable the active zones
define zone type in 001. in this you go sequentially from 1-16, using 01 for delay, 26 for monitored/non-alarm, etc. look up the zone type in the manual.
set zone attributes in each zone’s section. 101, 1234-6-8 (the 8 is for wireless, 6 is for chime).
so for a new wireless sensor in zone 1 partition 1 the steps would be something like:
*8
5555 (installer code)
804
01 (zone number)
123456 (device id printed on device)
exit
202
1------- (toggle to enable active zones)
001
01 (sets zone 1/first in sequence as delay zone type)
00 (null for zone 2)
00
00
and so on through zone 16…
101
1234-6-8 (set 6 on for chime, 8 on for wireless).
now, do a wireless test.
*8
5555
904 (wireless test section)
press > til 01 is visible
trigger sensor, you should hear a chirp.
These steps work on my 1832 with RFK5500 keypad. I have 9 wireless zones and 1 wired set up.
What @Intrepid mentioned I think is the initial configuration for the door chime of each zone, it sets which zones will chime when you enable the feature from the keypad using *4, and essentially allows you to customize which zones chime when you have it active (using *4) on a day to day basis without going into programming mode.
Therefore to enable chime for each zone you’ll want to do something like *8 [installer code] 101 6 ## etc
Anyway one down… now on to your other questions since 1 and 2 are now possibly solved (1 is confirmed solved at least).
So for 3 (or the first one since you listed it twice instead of 3 and 4), have you figured this out yet?
So the initial configuration is *4 for the zones to chime when we enable…
Therefore to enable chime for each zone you’ll want to do something like *8 [installer code] 101 6 ## etc
But in the manual it says 6 Swinger Shutdown for the 101 -164 zone attributes…??? is that right code???
I didn’t got any update on How to call cell phone when the zone opens… Once i am done with rest of the programming then i will work on calling cell phone when the zone opens…
Can you please verify my programming…
Thanks you very much Strangely
I have a feeling you will not get much help on this in this forum. As others have stated in pervious posts, questions regarding the alarm panel are best suited for the diysecurityforum.
Looks like you just need to add a reference, and the a number corresponding to the zone is most logical. If you only have 8 zones (assuming they are 1 through 8 ), then you only need to go into section 320 to do this, however if any of your zones are on 9-16 then you need to use section 321 also and 322, 323 for any zones numbered higher than 17.
