DSC 1832 Questions

Greetings All,

I'm replacing an old DSC PC3000 panel with a DSC 1832 v4.6 panel. Obviousl y, I noticed some programming differences and am hoping to get some clarifi cation from the group. I originally installed the PC3000 and programmed it myself back in 1996 so I'm a little rusty here and looking for some help. Here's my questions:

  1. Do I have to use DSC's line of Smoke Detectors? I currently have (2) Sy stem Sensor 4 wire latching smokes model 2412's with a RM-1 end-of-line sup ervision relay. If I can still use the System Sensor smokes, any gotcha's with the programming for the smokes?

  1. I will be using (2) PK5500ENG Keypads. Do I have to assign each one to a specific Keypad Partition/Slot or can both be in slot8?

  2. How many zone label characters can I use to describe the zones on the PK
5500? I thought I read somewhere I could only have 14 characters. However , the marketing brochures tell me 32 characters.

  1. Finally, has anyone used the EnvisaLink module to allow remote Internet access to Arm/Disarm/Check Status etc? Is this hard to program or install as an add-on product?

Thanks in advance for your replies and assistance for this 2nd time DIY'er.

Regards
