8 Zone Expander Module
This Installation sheet shall be used in conjunction with the Installation Manual of the
DSC equipment to which PC5108FLR is connected or powered from (e.g. alarm controller,
power supply, etc.). The PC5108FLR module can be used to extend up to 8 hardwired fast
loop response zones on the compatible DSC Alarm Controllers, models PC5020, PC1864,
PC1832 and PC1616. The fast loop response will be approximately 25ms.
General
PC5108FLR may be installed in the same metallic cabinet as the alarm controller/power
supply (model Power UC1, PC5003C) or in a separate enclosure (PC4003C). Internal and/
or external wiring for the PC5108FLR shall be routed, supported, clamped or secured in a
manner that reduces the likelihood of (a) excessive strain on wire and terminal connections
(b) loosening of terminal connections and (c) damage of conductor insulation.

Terminal Descriptions
TAM -
Used to tamper the cabinet in which the PC5108FLR is mounted. Connect a nor-
mally closed (NC) switch across TAM and BLK. If the tamper is not being used connect a
piece of wire across TAM and BLK to remove the trouble condition.
There is a built-in tamper switch on the expander module located in the top left corner of
the circuit board. If the cabinet in which the PC5108FLR is mounted has the hardware
required to depress this tamper switch, do not connect anything to the TAM terminal.
VAUX
- Used to provide power for devices. Maximum current draw is not to exceed 100
mA. Connect the positive lead of powered devices to VAUX and the negative to BLK or any
COM terminal.
KEYBUS
- The 4 wire KEYBUS connection is used by the panel to communicate with the
module. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to the KEYBUS terminals on the
PC1616, PC1832, PC1864 & PC5020 main control.
Z1 to Z8
- Wire the zones according to the description found in the control panel Instal-
lation Manual.
Enclosures
The PC5108FLR can be installed in the metal enclosures listed below. Tamper protection
switches can be installed on all enclosures, including door opening protection and/or
removal from the mounting position. Doors can be secured using screws or keylock.

Jumper Settings
The PC5108FLR module can be used
to add up to 8 additional hardwired
fast loop response zones to the
PC1616, PC1832, PC1864 or
PC5020 control panel (see Installa-
tion Manual for complete installation
instructions).
Jumpers
The PC5108FLR will operate in a sin-
gle group of eight zones. Refer to the
following jumper settings:
To Add Hardwired Zones to a Control Panel
1. Connect module to the Keybus (with the panel powered down).
2. Set the jumpers on the module.
3. Power up the system.
4. Enter section [902] and wait 1 minute.
5. Enter section [903] to verify that the module is supervised.
6. Define the zones in sections [002]-[004] for PC1616, PC1832, PC1864 or PC5020.
7. Add the zones to the appropriate partition in sections [202]-[265].

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security
Controls could void your authority to use this equipment.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference
to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits
for Class B device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart “B” of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in any
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to television or radio recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna
• Relocate the alarm control with respect to the receiver
• Move the alarm control away from the receiver
• Connect the alarm control into a different outlet so that alarm control and receiver are on
different circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC
useful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio/Television Interference Problems”. This book-
let is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402, Stock #
