							FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Con-
trols could void your authority to use this equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-
vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interfer-ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the 
receiver is connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC useful: How to Identify and
Resolve Radio/Television Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402, Stock # 004-000-00345-4.
The keypads represented in this manual can be used with the following Control Units:
PC1616, PC1832, PC1864.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and, if the product was approved 
July 23, 2001 or later, the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the side of this equip-
ment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier. If requested, 
this number must be provided to the Telephone Company.
PC1616 Product Identifier US: F53AL01BPC1614
PC1832 Product Identifier US: F53AL01BPC1832
PC1864 Product Identifier US: F53AL01BPC1864
USOC Jack:  RJ-31X
Telephone Connection Requirements 
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone net-
work must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the 
ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is 
designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See instal-
lation instructions for details.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone 
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response 
to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five 
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined 
by the total RENs, contact the local Telephone Company. For products approved after July 
23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: 
AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point 
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
Incidence of Harm
If this equipment ( PC1616, PC1832, PC1864) causes harm to the telephone network, the tel-
ephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the Telephone Company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
Changes in Telephone Company Equipment or Facilities
The Telephone Company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or pro-
cedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the Telephone Com-
pany will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.Equipment Maintenance Facility
If trouble is experienced with this equipment ( PC1616, PC1832, PC1864) for repair or war-
ranty information, contact the facility indicated below. If the equipment is causing harm to
the telephone network, the Telephone Company may request that you disconnect the equip-
ment until the problem is solved. This equipment is of a type that is not intended to be re-
paired by the end user.

Additional Information
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility com-
mission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emer-
gency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephone, answering sys-
tem, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing
equipment must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack that is electrically in series
with and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation
is depicted in the figure below. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you
should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer about installing the RJ-31X
jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.

Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning
if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection de pends on having adequate number of detectors placed in
appropriate locations. This equipment  should be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch
Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Fam ily Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes functional.
Testing
To insure that your system continues  to function as intended, you must test your system weekly. Please refer to
the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your  system does not function properly, call your installing
company for service.
Monitoring
This system is capable of  transmitting alarms, troubles & emergency in formation over telephone lines to a central
station. If you initiate an  alarm by mistake, immediately  call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.

SIA NOTE: There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds in  this control panel. It can be removed, or it can be in-
creased up to 45 seconds, at the option of th e end-user by consulting with the installer.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimu m maintenance. Note the following points:
 Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth.  Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should 
remove normal accumulations of dust.
 Use the system test described in “Testing Your Syst em” to check the battery condition. We recommend, how-
ever, that the standby batteries be replaced every 3-5 years.
 For other system devices such as sm oke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors or 
glassbreak detectors, consult the  manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions.
General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel,  one or more keypads and various sensors and detectors.
The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a ut ility closet or in a basement. The metal cabinet contains
the system electronics, fuses and standby battery. 
NOTE: Only the installer or service profession al should have access to the control panel. 
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command  entry keys. The LED keypads have a group of zone and
system status lights. The LCD keypad  has an alphanumeric liquid crystal disp lay (LCD). The keypad is used to send
commands to the system and to display the current syst em status. The keypad(s) 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 be connected to one or
more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door  contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm will be indicated by
the corresponding zone lights flashing on a LED keypad or by written messages on the LCD keypad.
