You're fortunate that you selected a Napco P3200 for your system.  The fix is
easy.  In the Napco Quickloader software open the "Panel Selection" window and
click the "Time Zone - DST" tab.  There you can set the DST Start and DST End
day, week and month as well as the time of day (usually 2:00 am) when the change
should take place.

If you don't have the software, go to my website and download it for free.
You'll need a Napco PCI-Mini to connect your laptop to the alarm.  If you need
one, I sell them online.  If you need help, whether you need hardware or not,
feel free to contact me.  I've installed hundreds of P3200 systems and
programmed countless more.
