Section 1: Introduction
1.1 About the Power864 System
The Power864 security system supports up to 64 zones, 8 sepa-
rate partitions, and 32 users.
The PC5020 main board comes with 4 programmable outputs,
and you can add up to 12 more using PC5204 and PC5208
modules. You can program the outputs to control things such as
doorstrikes and lights, using 25 different output options. See
Programmable Outputs in Section 5.
You can program the Power864 using any system keypad, or
using DLS-3 downloading software and a computer. See How to
Program on Page 10.
1.2 About the Power864 Manual Set
Installer Manuals
