Overview

What it is and who it is for

The DSC PC1832PCBSPA is a PC1832 control panel board from the DSC PowerSeries line. The PC1832 has 8 zones on board and expands to 32 hardwired zones with three PC5108 expanders or up to 32 wireless zones, with 4 partitions, up to 8 keypads, 32 user codes and a 500 event buffer.

The board runs from a 16.5 VAC, 40 VA transformer and a 4, 7 or 14 Ah sealed lead acid battery, charged at 400 mA by default or about 700 mA when selected. It provides 700 mA of auxiliary current at 11.1 to 12.6 VDC, a supervised 700 mA bell output with 2 A PTC protection, and two PGM outputs rated 50 mA and 300 mA. Modules connect on the 4-wire Keybus up to 1,000 ft from the panel and 3,000 ft total. The panel operates indoors from 0 to 49 C at up to 93 percent relative humidity.

DSC lists PowerSeries keypads such as the PK5500, PK5501, LCD5511 and LED5511Z, and modules including the PC5108 zone expander, PC5100 addressable module, PC5132-433 and RF5108-433 wireless receivers, PC5200 and PC5204 power supplies and the PC5208 output module.

  • Best for: replacing or building PowerSeries PC1832 intrusion panels.
