INTRODUCTION
2.4 Central Station Communication
You can program the XR500/XR500N panel for local annunciation only, or for reporting to one or two DMP SCS-1/SCS-
1R Receivers using digital dialer or network communication. The panel can also communicate to non-DMP receivers
using the Contact ID communication format. The XR500/XR500N connects at the premises to a standard RJ31X or
RJ38X telephone jack. Use the DMP 893A Dual Phone Line Module when connecting the XR500/XR500N panel to two
separate phone lines in
Þ
re or burglary applications.
2.5 Before you Begin
Before installing the XR500/XR500N, we recommend you read through the entire contents of this guide. Familiarize
yourself with the features of the panel and the key points to remember during the installation. Be sure to read and
understand all of the caution statements printed in bold italics.
2.6 About this Guide
The information in this guide is organized into
Þ
ve sections: Table of Contents, Introduction, Installation,
Compliance, and System Diagrams.
• The Table of Contents at the front lists the headings and subheadings used throughout each section of the
guide. To the right of each heading is the section number where the information can be found.
• The Introduction section provides an overview of the various components that go into an XR500/XR500N
system and provides diagrams of typical system con
Þ
gurations. This section describes the panel, keypads,
zone expansion modules, and accessory modules and provides details on how they operate together in the
system.
• The Installation section begins with mounting instructions for the enclosure and continues with detailed
XR500/XR500N panel operational characteristics.
• The Compliance section describes the various regulations the XR500/XR500N complies with, such as UL.
• The System Diagrams illustrate different ways to wire the XR500/XR500N to a variety of modules.
Caution Notes
Throughout this guide you will see caution notes containing information you need to know when installing the panel.
These cautions are indicated with a yield sign. Whenever you see a caution note, make sure you completely read
and understand its information. Failing to follow the caution note can cause damage to the equipment or improper
operation of one or more components in the system. See the example shown below.
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices:
The XR500/XR500N must be properly
grounded before connecting any devices or applying power to the panel. Proper grounding protects against
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components.
2.7 How to Use this Guide
To locate information about the XR500/XR500N installation,
Þ
rst go to the Table of Contents at the front of this
guide. Find the subject heading that best describes the information you need and turn to the section number shown
to the right of the heading.
The text that follows the heading is written to provide as much information about the subject as possible. If you
cannot

nd the information you need under that heading, try scanning through a few of the headings before and
after and reading the text under those that sound similar.
System Components
3.1 Description
The DMP XR500/XR500N system is made up of an alarm panel with a built-in communicator, an enclosure, battery,
one 16.5 VAC transformer, and keypads. You can use up to sixteen supervised 32-character LCD Security Command®
keypads; network communications and expansion interface cards; zone and output expansion modules; and initiating
and indicating circuit modules. You can also connect auxiliary devices to the panel’s output relays to expand the
basic system’s control capability. Combined current requirements of additional modules may require an auxiliary
power supply. Refer to section 6.8 in this guide when calculating power requirements.
