DSC Security System

The DSC security system must be configured to work with the Crestron Home system.

NOTE: For serial communication with PC1864, PC1832, and PC1616 control panels, the DSC IT-100 Data Interface Module is required.

Models

The following models are supported:

  • HS2128 - PowerSeries Neo Control Panel
  • HS2064 - PowerSeries Neo Control Panel
  • HS2032 - PowerSeries Neo Control Panel
  • HS2016-4 - PowerSeries Neo Control Panel
  • HS2016 - PowerSeries Neo Control Panel
  • PC1864 - PowerSeries Control Panel
  • PC1832 - PowerSeries Control Panel
  • PC1616 - PowerSeries Control Panel

NOTE: The systems listed above support keypad emulation. They do not support an area list for systems that support areas, area control to arm or disarm the system (including storing the password on the UI device), programming area arm or disarm events, and triggering area commands from button or trigger events via scenes.

Wiring

The DSC IT-100 Data Interface Module should be connected to the Crestron Home system as shown below:

NOTE: The serial port is configured to communicate at 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. There is no hardware or software flow control.
