WTB: DSC PC1575 Keypads

Why not use 55xx keypads? They should work with that panel

Jim, I believe Mark is right. The standard 1555 keypads will work with the old 1575 board. I found that out when I had trouble with a keypad on one of the three 1575 installations I had in service...."had", because I ripped them out and replaced them with the 1555 boards. I'll look and see what I have in my huge and growing stockpile of old boards and keypads....I just can't bring myself to throw out old equipment...you know...."just in case"....:)))

They do list different keypads for the 1575 however the family is the same as the 1555 so I would think it'd work

Mark, I believe the older keypad specifically designed for the 1575 (the one that looks like the standard 1550 keypad) will NOT work with the 1555. However, the newer 1555 keypads ARE backward compatible and will work with the 1575.

The 1575 seems to have been a transition panel halfway between the

1550 and the 1555 and (I believe) was only on sale for a very short period of time. It had the six user code limitation of the 1550 but the faster communication formats of the 1555.

Yea I liked that panel and wish they'd have pushed it more to get rid of the

1550 earlier, that one came out about the same time they also put out the PC2525 2 almost stillborn panels
