DSC PowerSeries Neo HS2LCD Keypad

The HS2LCD is the full-message LCD keypad for DSC's PowerSeries Neo panels. It belongs to the HS2 family, which covers every Neo hardwired keypad. All of them wire to the panel's four-wire Corbus and are programmed the same way. They differ in the display, and in whether they add a wireless receiver or a proximity tag reader.

Which HS2 keypad is which

Suffixes add features:

• P adds a proximity tag reader (HS2LCDP, HS2ICNP).
• RF adds a built-in PowerG transceiver, so the keypad is also the wireless receiver for up to 128 PowerG wireless zones. The last digit is the band: 9 = 912–919 MHz (North America), 8 = 868 MHz, 4 = 433 MHz. For example, HS2LCDRF9 or HS2LCDRFP9.

Specifications (all HS2 keypads)

From DSC's HS2LED/HS2ICN/HS2LCD installation instructions.

New keypad only beeps or shows nothing useful

It isn't enrolled yet. Enroll it from a working keypad with [902][000]. If it's the only keypad, press any key when it says Press any key to enroll.

Keypad works but shows the wrong partition

Check its partition in its own [861]–[876] section, [000]. This is set at each keypad individually.

Display too dim, or the buzzer too loud

Press *6 [master code], then use the arrow keys to find Bright Control, Contrast Control or Buzzer Control. Each has 15 levels.

Reset one keypad's settings

Section [991]: choose the keypad and re-enter the installer code to return that keypad to its factory defaults. Panel programming is not affected.

Trouble light

The yellow Trouble light means a system trouble. Press *2 to see it; see DSC trouble light.

• Panels: PowerSeries Neo HS2016, HS2032, HS2064, HS2128.
• Related keypads: HS2LCDP (prox), HS2LCDRF9 (PowerG transceiver), HS2ICN (icon).
• PowerG devices (RF versions): PowerG door/window contacts, motion detectors, smoke and CO detectors, key fobs and sirens. PG9 models in North America.

Wiring and mounting

• Disconnect AC and the battery before wiring. Connect red, black, yellow and green Corbus wires to the matching terminals.
• Fit the supplied tamper switch and tamper plate if you use the keypad tamper. It is mandatory for UL/ULC commercial burglary.
• P/Z terminal as a zone: wire a nearby door contact to P/Z and B instead of running wires back to the panel. Don't use it for fire or 24-hour zones.
• P/Z terminal as an output: drive a small relay (RM-1, RM-2) or buzzer, 50 mA maximum.

Enrolling keypads

With no keypad enrolled, the first keypad shows Press any key to enroll. Enroll the others from it:

• *8 [installer code], then section [902][000]: auto-enroll new keypads. Each one shows its model, serial number and slot.
• [902][001]: manual enroll by typing the serial number from the back of the keypad.
• [902][002] / [902][003]: change a keypad's slot number.
• [902][101]: unenroll a keypad. [903][101]: confirm a keypad; its lights flash so you can find it.

Partition assignment

At each keypad: *8 [installer code], enter the keypad's section [861]–[876] (keypads 1–16), then [000]. Enter 01–08 for the partition, 01 if partitioning isn't used, or 00 for a global keypad. LED and icon keypads can't be global.

Function keys

Defaults: key 1 Stay arm, key 2 Away arm, key 3 Chime on/off, key 4 Command output 2, key 5 Quick exit. Change them in sections [001]–[005] inside the keypad's [861]–[876] section. For example, 09 Night arm, 39 Trouble display, 40 Alarm memory.

Zone labels (HS2LCD only)

*8 [installer code] [000][001], choose the zone, and type the name. Each number key cycles through letters (2 = D, E, F, 2), or pick words from the built-in library. Labels typed on one LCD keypad copy to the others automatically.

Language

Section [000][000], then a two-digit language code (01 = English, 02 = Spanish, 04 = French).
