Re: Honeywell 60 / DSC PC1550

Sir, you can simply add another like keypad of the same model. Nothing else
needs to be done in the way of additional programming. Most alarm companies
have a few of these keypads sitting around for use in servicing these old
panels, since there are loads of them still in service. They are worth
peanuts to buy. You might even be able to find them on ebay.....
