According to the DSC factory rep DSC is facing the same problem with RoHS as
everyone else. So to meet the EU regulations (get the lead out) they had to
make a new board. He said since DSC was making too many boards already for
so many different products they reduced everything to one board. From the
one board they made 3 versions. The bottom is the 1616. It replaces the
Power432 & Power632 also known as the PC580 and PC1555MX respectively. The
1832 replaces the Power 832 or PC5010 as it is known as also. The1832 has
already been through its first factory recall, despite being tested in
Europe for almost a year. The 1864 replaces the Power 864 or PC5020. The new
board has 1 AMP output instead of about half that for the old boards. The
programing is similar in each case to the version it replaces and if you as
using DLS software it will convert an older panel's program to a new one so
you don't have to it manually. However you do have to update your software
for the new panels and keypads. The new boards are CP-1 compliant. That is
important in our State since by Jan1, 2007 you can't carry a non CP-1 panel
in your truck (for new installations). There are new thinner keypads too.
They start with PK models. They have more lines of programming for custom
text (on the high end) and an iPOD look and feel as well. Some customers
love them other hate them. No one seems nutral. Who could get so worked up
over a keypad? Some home owners will spead a half an hour on the phone
discussing how it looks and then only arm the thing once a year when they go
out of town. Go figure.
