First Alert panel and Ademco keypads

I have a First Alert model FA148C panel with two FA260KP keypads so I don't have the ablility to program my system. I'm assuming the FA148C is the same panel as the Ademco Vista-15. Can I swap out one of my FA260's with an Ademco 6139 or 6160 keypad to get programming capablity? (A much cheaper alternative than having the original installer come out and install a First Alert FA560KP)

thanks...

Yep, they will work. The differences are cosmetic, and the first alert panel has fewer program options than the Ademco equivalent, but they are minor things that only matter for odd installs.

DSC PC1555 - Trouble 1, 3: PC5400 Printer module -- no printer module present

Col78 on Aug 06, 2004

I am setting up a DSC PC1555 control panel. I have managed to perform most of the configuration, and the panel is responding to sensors, etc. :) However, I have been unable to clear the Trouble 1 -> 3 condition. That is: - The sytem light is on - After pressing [*][2] the Zone 1 light is on - Then I press [1] -- the Zone 3 light is on The Installation manual indicates that this is "General System Trouble: The printer connected to the PC5400 Printer module has a fault and is off-line" As far as I can see, a PC5400 module is not present. --- Can I disable supervision of the PC5400? Does "General System Trouble" also refer to other conditions? --- Thanks, Col
