Powering down DSC 1832

[arlow9]

Hi All.

I just purchased the EnvisaLink 3 and am excited to try it out when it arrives.
I've had a look through the installation manual. It basically says to power down my DSC 1832 before doing the install.

A few quick questions:
1. How should I power it off. Do I simply unplug the power adapter and disconnect the battery?
2. Also, after I've connected the EnvisaLink 3, I've read somewhere that I may have to reset my DSC Box. Is this true?

Thanks in advance.

Yes that is correct.

2. Also, after I've connected the EnvisaLink 3, I've read somewhere that I may have to reset my DSC Box. Is this true?

Not likely, but post back if you encounter any problems. It is really simple to install on DSC systems. I had it installed and running in minutes. The longest part was waiting the 10 minutes after activating the device MAC address.

I just had a PC1832 panel installed as well. The installer advised me to remove one of the two AC power wires and unplug the battery when I powered down the panel. He specifically advised me to attach the battery *first* when powering the panel back up, which I did. I did have a trouble code upon powering the panel up, but only had to re-enter the time or date (can't remember which) to correct the problem.
