Re: eol dsc1550

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmmm....why bother having a keypad if he's not using any of the zones on
the DSC for detection but merely for powering the pirs?
What panel in existence doesn't have power to run a few pirs, that he has to
use a different panel as a power supplyWhat's powering the cellular?

...whole thing sounds goofy.

| You have to jumper out the zones on the 1550 if you're not using them.
| If you turn on light #5 in option 12, you can use regular 22AWG wire
| between the "zone" and "zone common" terminals otherwise you'll have to
| use the 1K ohm resistors.  Program all the zones as "perimeter" (03).
| It's been quite a while since I worked with a 1550 panel.  Good luck!!
