Dsc Pc2500

Looking for installation manual for PC2500. Does it install (program) like the PC2550 ?

Thanks, Seems to work ok. Why can't I find any info on this panel? Was it a short lived one?

many thanks.

I just ran across one today - couldn't do anything with it. It was completely locked-out. Oh well, they are cheap to replace.

I think most companies used the 1500 or 1550 versions of the DSC panels. I run across a 2550 every now and then, but not too often.

Question Can I get the Pc2500 to call my cellphone?

Brandon,

Everything works fine. I even set it up to call my cell, but I get dead air and it keeps calling. Is there any way I can get it to call once with a tone or something?

Many thanks,

Ken

This isn't one that looks to have pager-type output. You would likely have to use a voice dial unit.

It was an uncommon unit. Generally, the 5010 (Power 832) was a better choice for an 8 zone panel, and the price difference was pretty minimal. I've run into exactly one in the wild.

Hi MrRon

I got the system from my son, who upgraded his new house. I'm an old retired telephone man that likes to dable and thought I'd try it in my place if i could get it to work. Brandon steered me in the right direction and I have it working. I have it set to call my cell phone, but it keeps on calling. Is there a way to limit the number of out going calls?

I kinda think it's an oddball system as I can't seem to get much info on it and DSC doesn't answer my emails.

Ken

Security panel builders don't provide anything other than user manuals for non-dealers (for obvious reasons).

As far as the dialout, there is no option to limit the number of attempts (it's probably hard-coded for 8-10 trys). If it doesn't get a "kissoff" from a reciever that it recognizes, then it will keep trying until it reaches it's comm failure limit.

Like I said, I think it didn't sell well because it's far less capable than the Power Series that first became popular about the same time (late 1980s).
