This sophisticated wireless ready alarm kit practically eliminates guesswork when selecting accessories and you have the option of expanding with additional hardwire accessories giving you the best of both worlds. Best of all, this wireless alarm kit costs less than half of what it would cost to buy the system component-by-component.

The DSC Power 1832 wireless security system is the second of three new Power Series systems recently released by DSC. It features 8 hardwire zone inputs out of the box and a total of 32 hardwired or wireless zones. Supports up to 8 keypads, 32 user codes in addition to a master and supervisor code and has four partitions. The DSC 1832 control panel offers the same easy programming as the old version and is backward compatible with all of the previous generation modules and keypads. They feature a new board design with new firmware and over 100 new program features.

Achieving a balance between reliable security and refined functionality, next-generation POWERSERIES products are sure to electrify the industry by providing unprecedented levels of convenience, comfort and control. Among the new products comprising the updated POWERSERIES product platform are three new control panels. Each control panel shares a universal hardware/software design that ensures an equal and rich feature set and easy future expandability. With near limitless capabilities, the control panels seamlessly integrate with our award-winning Internet and network alarm communicators (T-Link), industry-leading visual alarm verification module (VVM110), SKYROUTE wireless alarm communicator and other specialty modules, wireless devices and structured cabling solutions. If you’re already familiar with POWERSERIES, the new platform will be an easy transition for you. Despite the addition of a number of value-added features, traditional programming remains unchanged, as does the installation process.

Features Now Standard Throughout the POWERSERIES Platform

  • SIA CP-01 compliant
  • Partitionable auto-arm timer
  • Zone follower output
  • No activity arming
  • Automatic Contact ID
  • Day zone
  • PGM output timer

Features New to the POWERSERIES Platform

  • 500-event buffer
  • Single architectural design for universal feature set
  • Full module compatibility across POWERSERIES platform
  • Retains backward compatibility with all POWERSERIES modules
  • Hardware/Software architecture easily accommodates
  • future expandability
  • Programmable daylight savings time

CP-01 Compliant
All POWERSERIES control panels are compliant with the Security Industry Association (SIA) CP-01 standard. As more and more cities begin to incorporate this standard into their alarm ordinances for new installations, the occurrence of invalid alarm activations will be significantly reduced or eliminated.

Compatibility
POWERSERIES control panels are fully compatible, and backward compatible, with all available keypads and modules across the platform.

The installation instructions are really cryptic and I have a 4 year engineering degree. They fail to define terms like PGM, Partition, Section, and they use the term zone to mean many different things. Try getting additional information out of www.dsc.com and you will find all of there technical information "locked" so single users can't get access. They also denied my request for access. At least the home security store has a knowledge paper on how to wire the BV300 sensor. I'd return the product and choose another vendor but that's not fair to HSStore. Good luck..

We cannot rate the overall system yet, but the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Also, why does a wireless system come with a motion detector that requires wiring? That seems misleading.

Security Advisor Comment
We apologize for the misunderstanding. This wireless "Ready" alarm kit practically eliminates guesswork when selecting accessories and you have the option of expanding with "additional hardwire" or wireless accessories giving you the best of both worlds.

I have installed DSC systems in the past in our other homes. The current product is feature rich beyond my expectations and has great wireless integration. It was so impressive that I bought a second system for a marine application and I am now considering offering that same system to others in the marine market. I cant say enough about the Home Security Store technical support team they seem to be able to understand your level of technical capability and answer the question that you had in your mind in addition to the question you asked. By vocation I have been involved in hardware/software development for 40+ years. Programming the system is actually a fancy term for establishing the operational parameters after installation. The documentation and parameterization metaphor harks back to the days of 4 bit processors and limited input capability. Arcane would be a charitable term to describe the programming. That said I am sure that as the system feature list has expanded the developers kept building on their existing base so as to not alienate their professional installation base worldwide. The result is acceptable but certainly not user friendly. The documentation is written for the professional installer who has a grasp of the terms and operational metaphors in the security field. The novice will have to dig around to understand what the terms actually mean. It would have been nice to have had about a two page overview of the system and how it connects together. If your expectations are Windows type GUI (graphical user interface) with check boxes and radio buttons get some other system. If you can slog through the parameterization and picture how the pieces fit together it will come together quite well.

Good system, great Key pad. The RFK5500 is really easy to program. I had the alarm installed by a Pro, but I have done all the programming. I purchased the computer interface cable, but never had to use it. My installer kept saying how good the pad was too. I just kept reading the manuals, and with just a little trial and error had it up and running.

I've had this system installed for several months now, and never had a false alarm. It's the first wireless system I've been around, so I was a little skeptical, but it gives me trouble free service. It was complicated for a first timer, but I know if I ever install another one or upgrade, it'll be a piece of cake. I called Home Security's help line several times and always got good advice and direction. I'm very satisfied.

Well, this is a very comprehensive system. I was very impressed with the wide range of capabilities. Clearly you should be computer capable and technically inclined to effectively use all the bells and whistles, but the install is reasonable. You must read the manual carefully. Also use the forum here to clarify. I like this system.

Only problem is the clock. It is always showing the wrong time. Other than that, it is an excellent kit

I'm having trouble installing this and programming it via the keypad. I do consider myself pretty tech-savvy, but this is a stretch.

I had never installed an alarm system before, but after a recent burglary, I decided I'd rather design my own system rather than pay somebody else for a lesser system. I went with a combination wired and wireless configuration on multiple floors of the house. I confess when I first opened the box and looked at the instructions, I wondered if I was over my head. After a couple of weeks of stydying and a couple of calls to tech support, the system is up and running perfectly. I installed a power supply and three 30 watt horns in the attic, so I'm sure my sytem is the loudest in my rural neighborhood. You can hear it for a half-mile. Rather than paying monthly monitoring fees, I chose to install a dialer that calls all my neighbors and family phones, as well as the authorities. I compare the installation experience to a fun hobby, and it's nice to understand the system and be able to add on as needed. The HSS tech people will walk you through the difficult programming part.

I was replacing an already existing alarm in my house and was able to re-use some of the sensors - it was fairly easy to replace the main panel and the two keypads and just reconnect the sensors. Very little information on all the settings available though - the worksheet is not enough to describe all the different options.

I bought this system to replace a circa-1980s DSC system in my home since I wanted some additional features and to use it with uControl (www.ucontrol.com), a service that uses broadband / cellular for monitoring the system. I found the installation instructions included somewhat cryptic but nonetheless was able to replace the existing control panel, keypads, and motion detector on my old system in about 3 hours. I have since found the more complete Reference Manual online and it is much more helpful. I am happy with the features of this new system and the smooth look of the new key pads. Great product!
