Brand new to Envisalink.. questions about DSC system install

[hifiaudio2]

I have a current wired DSC Power 832 / pc5010 that has been giving a trouble beep periodically due to not having a phone line connected, so we powered off the system. We moved in months ago and it didnt give the beep for months, then started doing it and we hit the * button to make it stop, but it comes back, usually in the middle of the night.

If I add the Envisalink 4 to this DSC, will I be able to program and turn off that "feature", or does that require something else? Will I be able to do any necessary programming with the Envisalink or do I need a new or different keypad? I assume I can do the wiring myself to just add this simple panel, but I am not sure about any needed programming. Thanks for the help!

I don't own a DSC system but until someone chimes in who does; see if the link below helps you to disable TLM..

Thanks. I get as far into the system as it telling me to "enter programming", and I get from the manual how to enter the sections, but then I have no idea how to "turn off" option 7, etc.



"entering programming, turning off option 7 in section 015, and option 1 in section 380."

From installers enter 015. Then it will show you the bitfield. If 7 is illumimated, press 7 to toggle it off. Then hit * to accept and leave the section.

Well now that I try this, when I enter *, 8, 5555 to enter programming, I get a long beep and all number across the top except the number 2 are lit. I guess it must be locked out with an installer code.

[GrandWizard]

The older 832 panels used "5010" as the installer code, try that. Otherwise you will need to factory reset (blank) the panel.

[hifiaudio2]

I misspoke. NO numbers are lit on the panel EXCEPT the number 2. So I reconnect the battery and connect the wall wart. I get a beep. The number 2 is lit and so is ready and trouble. Then I hit *, 8, 5010, and then I get a long beep and only the number 2 is lit. Does that just mean wrong code and that I am locked out?

[GrandWizard]

Yep. Long beep means invalid code.

You will need to get the code from whomever installed your system or do a factory reset which will erase all programming in the panel. Even that may be locked-out too.

We moved in last summer, so I guess whichever alarm company the previous owners had LAST should know the code?

Our DSC system (same components, I think) started doing that--exactly. I ran through the troubleshooting on it and the result was "I've fallen down and can't get up." (Translated: Some internal issue for which there was no specific diagnostic explanation.) I powered it down, then eventually replaced the whole thing with a Honeywell/Vista panel and keypad.
