PC5208 v1.0 Installation Instructions
8 Low Current Output Module
This installation sheet shall be used in conjunction with the Installation Manual (P/N: 29008247) of the
DSC equipment to which the PC5208 is connected (e.g. alarm controller, power supply, etc.).
The PC5208 module can be used to add up to 8 low-current programmable outputs to the compatible
DSC Alarm Controllers, models PC5015, PC1864, PC1832 and PC1616.

Terminal Descriptions
TAM - This can be used to tamper the cabinet in which the PC5208 is mounted. Connect a normally
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.
NOTE: There is a built-in tamper switch on the expander module located in the top left corner of
the circuit board. If the cabinet used to mount the PC5208 Output Module has the hardware
required to depress this tamper switch then DO NOT connect anything to the TAM terminal.
+AUX+ - There are two terminals for AUX power to provide easier wiring. These terminals are used to
provide power for devices. Maximum current draw is not to exceed 250 mA. Connect the positive lead of
powered devices to either AUX+ and the negative to the proper output terminal (O1 to O8).
KEYBUS - The 4 wire KEYBUS connection is used by the panel to communicate with the module. Con-
nect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to the KEYBUS terminals on the main control.
O1 to O8 - Wire the positive lead of the device to either AUX terminal and the negative lead to the
required output terminal (O1 to O8). The following are examples of how to wire various devices to the
outputs:
Enclosures
The PC5208 may be installed within the same metallic cabinet as the alarm controller/power supply
(model Power UC1, PC5003C) or in a separate enclosure (model PC4003C). Internal and/or external
wiring for this module shall be routed, supported, clamped or secured in a manner that reduces the like-
lihood of: excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections; loosening of terminal connections; and
damage of conductor insulation.
The PC5208 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 posi-
tion. Doors can be secured using screws or keylock.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by DSC 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 manufac-
turer'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 reason-
able 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 reception, which can be determined by turn-
ing 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.
