Re: DSC Maxsys PC 4020 Reporting probs.

["petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

You need to program codes in fields 320  to 353 if you use all the zones
just don't program anything for unused zones..

the information that need to be inputted is in the appendix a and b of the
installation manual page 39,40,41

if you want to send a burglar alarm from zone 1 as a perimeter alarm you
will need to program section 320 first data as 3A(for zone 1)

I know its a pain to do so but most people that install DSC use SIA

I hope it help
