DSC PowerSeries PC1864 Product Description:


The DSC PowerSeries PC1864 v4.6 is a feature-rich, up to 64 total zones, hardwired control panel that easily integrates with an array of compatible components to deliver a scalable business or home security solution. The PC1864 control panel comes out of the box with 8 hardwired on-board zones and it may be expanded to a total of 64 hardwired zones by using a PC5108 hardwired 8-zones expansion module. In addition, the PC1864 can accomodate up to 64 total wireless zones by adding an DSC wireless receiver (such as; RF5132-433 wireless receiver or RFK5501 combo keypad w/32-zone wireless receiver). With an DSC wireless receiver installed the PC1864 is compatible with the full line of DSC wireless security products. The PC1864 panel is built for both business or home security applications and features up to 94 user codes, up to 8 keypads, and 8 partitions.

The new PowerSeries PC1864 control panel from DSC makes installation easy, simple and fast with label programming using the pre-loaded library. The PC1864 panel features template programming for new users and a programming interface that experts will be familiar with. With a library of over 250 commonly used names in English, French and Spanish, label programming is now a snap with the PowerSeries PC1864 v4.6 panel. DIYer's can now assign a unique 3-digit code to display a full descriptive label (e.g., code 190 displays "Window"), avoiding time and mistakes with more conventional keypad entry. For additional customization, other pertinent details can also be added, such as the zone or floor to make it easy for the owner to identify faults (e.g., "Bedroom Window"). The PowerSeries PC1616 also features an independent end-of-line (EOL) configuration that makes installation faster than ever before. Each hardwired zone can be independently matched to the devices EOL configuration, reducing the time required to get a common EOL configuration across all security devices. Likewise, wireless device enrollment can be enrolled quick and easily. With the wireless device enrollment process, DIYer's are not required to manually program serial numbers or wireless attributes. Instead, enrollment is completed by confirming the confirm Electronic Serial Numbers (ESN), zone numbers and zone type through a series of user friendly screens.

The PowerSeries PC1864 also gives the user more control, thereby enhancing the functional experience. The user can "Arm Away", "Arm Stay" or "Disarm" all partitions with just one operation. With global arming and disarming, and scheduling auto arming and disarming, the DSC PC1864 panel is a preferred choice of installer's and DIYer's. The PC1864 panel is equipped to send alarm signals over the TELCO traditional telephone line. However, you may also choose to add an alternative internet (DSC Connect24 TL260R-NA), dual-path ethernet/cellular (Alarm.com ADC-SEM210-PS-AT, Alarm.com ADC-SEM210-PS-VZ) or tri-path ethernet/wifi/cellular alarm communicator (Alula BAT-CONNECT-A, Alula BAT-CONNECT-V) alarm communicator to your PC1864 panel to eliminate your need of a phone line and achieve Alula, Connect24 or Alarm.com interactive alarm monitoring services.
