Dsc PowerSeries Neo Alarm System Programming Tutorial - Tips to make it easy for you

[@KobusBreed]

23 January 2023, Thank you for the video, it helped me a lot with the zone programming on the HS2016-4 Neo (With HS2LED keypad) I used to install Honeywell, FBII Alarm panels and the DSC programming is not the same. Pretoria, South Africa

[@Skippy145]

Thankj you for your video- i have a dsc1616 with the led pane pk5508l and i was able to find the trouble light area no. 7 and it turned out my key fob battery was low- the key fob takes 2 cr2025 but the 2032 will fit- it worked perfectly- i armed the alarm, let it fully arm, then disarmed ( both with key fob) and the trouble light immediatelyt disappeared. Thanks alot… 12 years later

[@fredk5157]

This is great timing, I just bought a Neo to upgrade my 2500 DSC system, just bought the house. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I would be interested in a video about partitions and how they work. thanks again Fred K.

[@AlarmSystemStore]

Good deal Fred! You'll find the NEO a very robust system. Glad we could provide the video for you. This should make programming a little easier to understand. We're going to be putting out a good deal more. We have a video planned for partitioning by the way. Hopefully we can get it out soon for you. Have a great day!

[@AlarmSystemStore]

Oh, by the way, you can find our DSC NEO quick start programming guide here - www.alarmsystemstore.com/pages/dsc-powersseries-neo-hs2016-hs2032-hs2064-hs2128-quickstart This is a guide we wrote that takes the programming you'll find in the manual and condenses it down to about 5-6 pages

[@roystervi]

any video on how to add zones to partitions?

[@uniteddrones7626]

What are the partitions used for, and this is the important question, pgm2 you said it resets automatically after disarm, can’t I have my smoke detectors be 24 hour even if the sys is disabled and I use the *72 or 70 something to system reset the pgm? I’m using a high output board with fire alarm horns and this is in a building so I need the pgm 2 to always to active even Disarmed

[@tonylyles4032]

How do you turn up the volume

[@krazykristone]

How do you mute a bell/siren on a DLS5 system ? Need to test al the zones...

[@AlarmSystemStore]

You don't, you just disconnect it or resistor it off to shunt it and the trouble for it.

[@KIRKRAMSEY]

Can you all show how to wire a M2M mini to the neo so they can use the Rconnect app. i have been told 5 different ways and none seem to work with the Rconnect app.. so they can use their phones to work the system thanks if this can be done

[@AlarmSystemStore]

We don't sell M2M products or services. The dealer you purchased your M2M service from should support you though.

How does one program the PG9901 Wireless Indoor Siren to work with this Neo Alarm System?

[@AlarmSystemStore]

You can add the PG9901 in the same way that you do wireless sensors to the panel as long as your system can support wireless devices. You can check out our other video for instructions on programming wireless devices: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpm8YaWPZqh_fNE You should not need to do any other programming besides enrolling the device in your system.

[@peterc2452]

I have an HS2032 but it has installed lockout enabled. It clicks rapidly when I plug it in. Shorting pgm1 and zone 1 didn’t work. My old 5010 had a reset procedure by shorting 4th pin on chip to pgm1 and this removed the installer lockout. The hs2032 does not have a chip eeprom like my old 5010. Any ideas how to remove the installer lockout from this neo hs2032 ??

[@mikepersad760]

How many wireless devices can you have on one zone?

[@AlarmSystemStore]

Each wireless device takes one zone. You can't put multiple wireless on a zone like you can with hardwired.

[@nobodyoxfordian9500]

Hi, on NEO is it possible to turn off the communication error for internet loss, in our community interest work done late at night and sick of panel beeping during the down time. also, is there a way to make the LCD keep pad not beep when taking the screen but beep when zones open?

[@eIektrinis]

I have a PC1616 with LED keyboard and can't figure out how to program zones. Looks like numbers of digits don't match...

[@danladikanyio390]

thanks this has given me a headway for wireless configuration

[@rickbyrd101]

I can set Away, without and entry alarmed element. Out entry is similar to a mall storefront Gate. How can I program the away option to work without an entry trigger, it defaults to stay without it, so the motion sensor won't work.

[@AlarmSystemStore]

There is always an exit delay regardless of arming mode. If you're arming in away but it's setting in stay once armed, it's because you didn't trigger an exit door during the exit delay so the system thinks you stayed and as such armed in stay mode.

[@AlarmSystemStore]

We have a newer video that is very detailed about arming methods here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4KzgImuq6t0r8k

You can't. You always have to reset this when you reboot.

[@frankbear6354]

I'm trying to connect a 2 wire door contact (2 of them) to the same zone. But it seems like only one of them works at a time. Each on their own works ok, the minute I add 2 of them, the whole zone stops working and opening any windows doesn't trigger any status difference on the alarm. But each one triggers the right status on the alarm when they are pluged in by themselves. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

[@AlarmSystemStore]

Sounds like you are wiring them in parallel rather than series. Google series vs parallel circuit for illustration.

@Brandon@cyber I was actually able to program the Zone Attributes after doing some research. I had to reprogram the Zone Attributes since I had changed the Zone Definitions.

First of all tnx for a very informative video, the only thing i did not see is how to see the ID number of the e.g detector compared to the zone its attached/programed to, any easy way to see that ? tnx...

I deactivated my monitoring service which was set up through wifi instead of land line. Since then I have been getting a trouble 4 failure to communicate. I have tried a few things from the web with no luck. Do you have any suggestions on how I can stop the unit from sending out a signal?

[@andybowman9697]

You need to put FFFF in the account code locations. Sorry, I don't recall what that location is off hand though. Seems like 310 and 311 maybe, but not 100%

@@straighttothepoint364 I don't know what you mean by the guy taking the display. If you have don't have a display connected you shouldnt even see a trouble. You cant program without a keypad though.

Make sure you know if you’re using open loop or closed loop contacts. If they are open loop you have to wire them in parallel with the resistor.

How to restore zone tamper

[@AlarmSystemStore]

fix the tamper and the trouble will automatically go away. Likely a cover off a wireless sensor.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

Hi alarm system store. Can you have multiple fire zones? can zones 1, 2, 3, and so on be fire zones?

[@alexandersalarms5380]

@Tyguy80s Thank you for the information. I ended up getting a fire-lite commercial panel for my install.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

@Tyguy80s Thanks!

[@dripdatdrift]

What’s settle delay mean?

[@haydenabel2287]

Settle delay is a short bypass of all sensors that happens after arming. It can be set to keep sensors "off" for up to 10 seconds after fully arming to reduce the chance of a false alarm. It is particularly handy for exterior motions on your porch for example. Keep an eye out in the near future for the reproductions we're putting out for DSC NEO startup programming, where we go into more detail on subjects just like this one!

[@danladikanyio390]

does the Neo uses the PowerG sensors?

[@billdurham9930]

At minute 1:56....you should have shown how to default Panel, to Factory Default, to start OVER programming, as if it has been programmed previously......... YOU will NOT know the "installer Code" as it may have CHANGER to another installer CODE, other than "5555".......it will NOT accept 5555, if programmed previously .... You will NOT be able to get into programming.... Thanks

No focus, meandering from one setting to another, (while puffing on a cigarette. Uh... ya know?) To improve this video would require a script, so to keep moving forward and minimalize the long "Uh... ya know?" pauses. I couldn't finish it, kept loosing interest and wanted to read the manual instead, maybe that was the insidious reason behind this video? Hmmmm.
