SYSTEM COMPONENTS
2.4 Central Station Communication
You can program the panel for reporting to DMP SCS-VR or SCS-1R Receivers using digital dialer, cellular, network, or
Contact ID communication. The panels connect at the premises to a standard RJ31X or RJ38X telephone jack. Use
the DMP 893A Dual Phone Line Module when connecting the panel to two separate phone lines in re or burglary
applications.
2.5 Encrypted Communications (XR550 with Network & Encryption Only)
An XR550 panel can communicate using AES encryption. If you currently have an XR550 panel with network
capability, you may contact DMP Customer Service with the panel serial number. The serial number(s) should be sent
in writing via e-mail or fax. A separate feature key is sent for each panel to activate encrypted communications
using the Feature Upgrade process. Encrypted communication cannot be enabled on a XR550 panel without network
communication capabilities. For more information on the Feature Upgrade process see the XR150/XR550 Series
Programming Guide (LT-1232).
Note: 256-bit encrypted messages to SCS-1R receiver only communicate when using SCS-104 Receiver Line Cards
with Version 102 or higher software.
2.6 Caution Notes
Throughout this guide you will see caution notes containing information you need to know when installing the panel.
These cautions are indicated with a yield sign. Whenever you see a caution note, make sure you completely read
and understand its information. Failing to follow the caution note can cause damage to the equipment or improper
operation of one or more components in the system. See the example shown below.
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices: The panel must be properly grounded
before connecting any devices or applying power to the panel. Proper grounding protects against
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components.
2.7 Compliance Instructions
For applications that must conform to a local authorities installation standard or a National Recognized Testing
Laboratory certicated system, please see the Compliance Listing Guide LT-1330 for additional instructions.
