Programmable Outputs – PGM1 and PGM2
Each PGM output is designed so
that when activated by the panel, the
terminal will switch to ground.
PGM2 can sink up to 50 mA of current
to activate LEDs or a small buzzer.
Connect the positive side of the LED
or buzzer to AUX+, the negative side
to PGM2. If more than 50 mA of
current are required, a relay must be
used. Please study PGM wiring in
the accompanying diagram.
PGM1 is a high current output which
operates similar to PGM2. PGM1 is
used for high current output (300mA).
Zone Input Terminals – Z1 to Z6
Each detection device must be connected to a zone on the
control panel. We suggest that one detection device be
connected to each zone; wiring multiple detection devices
to a single zone, however, is possible. For zone wiring
specifics, please see Section 2.8 (“Zone Wiring”).
Telephone Connection Terminals – TIP, RING, T-1, R-1
If a telephone line is
required for central
station communication or
downloading, connect an
RJ-31X telephone jack in
the following manner:
• TIP - Green Wire
incoming line from
• RING - Red Wire
telephone company
• R-1 - Grey Wire
outgoing line to
• T-1 - Brown Wire
house telephone(s)
Please ensure that all plugs and jacks meet the
correct dimension, tolerance and metallic plating
requirements.
For proper operation, no other telephone equipment
should be connected between the control panel and
the telephone company facilities
.
Do not connect the alarm panel communicator to
telephone lines intended for use with a fax machine.
These lines may incorporate a voice filter which
disconnects the line if anything other than fax
signals are detected, resulting in incomplete
transmissions
.
2.3 KEYBUS Operation and Wiring
The KEYBUS is used by the panel to communicate with all
connected modules and vice versa. The red (AUX+) and
black (AUX-) terminals are used to provide power, while the
yellow (YEL) and green (GRN) terminals are clock and data
respectively.
The four KEYBUS terminals of the panel must be
connected to the four KEYBUS terminals or wires of
all modules.
The following restrictions apply to KEYBUS wiring:
• KEYBUS should be run in minimum 22 gauge quad
(0.5mm); two pair twist is preferred.
• The modules should be home run to the panel but can
be connected in series or T-tapped .
• Any module can be connected anywhere along the
KEYBUS. You do not need to run a separate KEYBUS
wire for keypads, etc.
• No module can be more than 1,000'/330m (in wire
length) from the panel.
• Shielded wire should not be used unless wires are run
in an area that presents excessive RF noise or other
such interference.
Example of KEYBUS Wiring
NOTE:
Module (A)
is correctly
wired within 1,000'/330m
of wire from the panel.
Module (B)
is correctly
wired within 1,000'/330m
of wire from the panel.
Module (C)
is NOT wired
correctly as it is further
than 1,000'/330m from the
panel, in wire distance.
2.4 Current Ratings – Modules and
Accessories
In order for the PC1580 system to operate properly, the
power output capabilities of the main control and the
expansion devices must not be exceeded. Use the data
presented below to ensure that no part of the system is
overloaded and cannot function properly.
PC1580 (12 V
DC
)
VAUX: 550 mA.
Includes one keypad. Subtract for each
additional keypad, expansion module and acces-
sory connected to VAUX or KEYBUS.
BELL: 700 mA. Continuous Rating. 3.0 A. Short Term.
Available only with stand-by battery connected.
PC1580 Device Ratings (@ 12 V

)
• LCD5500T Keypad: 50 mA
• PC5400 Serial Module: 65 mA
• PC5506T Keypad: 45 mA
• PC1575RK Keypad: 50 mA
• DLM-4: 160 mA standing / 180 mA transmitter
• Escort: 65 mA standing / 130 mA on-line
Other Devices
Please read the manufacturer’s literature carefully to
determine the maximum current requirements for each
device—during activation or alarm—and include the proper
values for loading calculations. Connected devices must
not exceed system capabilities during any possible
operational mode.
2.5 Keypad Assignment
There are eight available slots for keypads. LED keypads by
default are always assigned to slot 1; the LCD5500T is
always assigned to slot 8. Whereas the PC1575 LED keypad
must always be assigned to slot 1, the PC5506T and
