Dear forum,

I tried to contact Envisalink correctly, but I didn't get any answer.

I have an older DSC Classic PC585h alarm and I would like to know if it is compatible with Envisalink 4?

From the dealer in our country I got answer that is not compatible, but maybe he doesn't want to help me/and to my good old alarm.

I found one web page, which is connecting a PC585 alarm with Envisalink 3. So maybe it is compatible?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but there was some confusion in tech-support as you used the term Classic in reference to the PC585. We had to ask DSC directly and the PC585 is not a Classic panel, it is a Power series panel and is therefore compatible with all versions of the Envisalink module.

Thank you for the fast answer.

The "Classic" is on the case of the alarm:

Here is the manual of the alarm (also references as Classic PC585):
(cable management is a it was not done by me)

If Envisalink advertises itself as a PC5400 serial printer module, I think it is compatible, because I found references to this PC5400 in the manual.

It lookslike there is an another version of the PC585 (Powerseries):

http://www.dsc.com/index.php?n=enduser& ... eypad=1280

"PowerSeries 4-32 Zone Control Panel PC585
PC585"...

Maybe DSC confused the two alarm? But as I said if the Classic is compatible with PC5400 serial printer module, I don't see any reason why it won't work with Envisalink.

Two more info: the guy from the link above confirmed that he has exactly the same device Classic PC585 (but without "h" at the end). Second, a DSC dealer wrote me that PC585 at the end was sell as Power 432.

Hmmmmm....

DSC Tech Support told us this is a Power Series panel. I have no idea why it says Classic. The Classic has a completely different bus architecture than the new Power series. Marketing mix-up maybe?

I just want to confirm the PC585 compatibility, it works nicely.

But there is a bug on EyezOn website. I have set correct time in DSC alarm. On EyezOn website I choosed my Timezone (Europe/Budapest) + enabled Auto-Time Updates.

On device itself (EVL 4) I see the correct time in the left corner: 2017-04-22 15:00 - System Time

But on EyezOn website I see incorrect time: Last Update: April 22, 2017, 9:17 am + recent events are showing this time.

Can you help me with this?

It is the in FAQ

Ahhh, yes. It's working now. Thank you very much.

Hmm, current status:

On the portal I see the correct time (last update + recent events), but on Envisalink itself the time is off by 3 hour

Envisalink:
2017-05-05 21:49 - System Time

Interesting.
