1.1 Keybus Wiring
The 4-wire KEYBUS (red, black, yellow and green) is the communication connection between the control panel and all modules. The 4 KEY-
BUS terminals of all modules must be connected to the 4 KEYBUS terminals of the main control panel.
The following rules must be followed when wiring the Keybus:
• Minimum 22 AWG wire, max. 18 AWG (2-wire twisted preferred)
• Do not use shielded wire
• Modules can be home run, connected in series or T-tapped, provided that
the maximum wire distance from the control panel to any module does not
exceed 1,000 feet (305m)
• No more than 3,000 feet (915m) of wire can be used in total
1.2 Zone Wiring
Zones can be wired for Normally Open or Normally Closed contacts, with
Single-End-of-Line (SEOL) or Double End-of-Line (DEOL) resistors.
Observe the following guidelines:
• For UL Listed Installations use SEOL or DEOL only.
• Minimum 22 AWG wire, maximum 18 AWG
•Do not use shielded wire
•
Wire run resistance shall not exceed 100Refer to the chart below:
• [001]-[004] Selects Zone Definition
• [013] Opt [1] Selects Normally Closed or EOL resistors
• [013] Opt [2] Selects SEOL or DEOL resistors
• [101]-[108] Opt [14], [15], [16] Selects Normally Closed SEOL or DEOL
for on-board zones (PC1832/1864, Zone 1-8; PC1616, Zones 1-6)
Zone Status - Loop Resistance/Loop Status
• Fault - 0 (shorted wire/loop)
• Secure - 5600 (contact closed)
• Tamper - infinite (broken wire, open)
• Violated - 11,200 (contact open)
1.3 Zone Expanders
Zone expanders add zones in groups
of eight to the Alarm system. Module
jumpers J1, J2, J3 are required to
assign zones to these modules.
Jumper settings for PC5108 v2 are
shown here.
• PC5108 v1.0 supports first 32
zones only.
• PC5700 enrolls as two modules
• Do NOT use PC5108 v1 and
PC5108 v2 on the same panel.

Refer to the associated installation sheet for Jumper locations

1.4 Bell Wiring
These terminals supply 700mA of current at 12VDC for commercial installations and 11.1-12.6VDC for
residential installations (e.g. DSC SD-15 WULF). To comply with NFPA 72 Temporal Three Pattern
requirements: Program [013] Opt [8] ON. Note that Steady, Pulsed alarms are also supported.
The Bell output is supervised and power limited by 2A PTC. If unused, connect a 1000 resistor across
Bell+ and Bell- to prevent the panel from displaying a trouble. See [][2].
