Section 1: Introduction
1.1 About the Power8 System
The Power8 is a high end security system. It supports 8
hardwired zones and up to 32 wireless and/or AML
zones, 8 separate partitions, and 32 users.
The user interface is simple and easy to use. The
LCD5500Z keypad guides users through their available
options with easy-to-understand prompts.
The status of the Power8 system can be monitored over
telephone lines, or using an alternative communicating
device, including LINKS1000, LINKS2X50, LINKS3000,
Skyroute™ and T-Link.
The PC5005 main board comes with 4 programmable out-
puts, and you can add up to 12 more using PC5204 and
PC5208 modules. You can program the outputs to control
things such as doorstrikes and lights, using 25 different
output options. See Programmable Outputs in section 5.
You can program the Power8 using any system keypad,
or using DLS-3 downloading software and a computer
(see section 3, ‘How to Program’).
Review the complete Power8 manual set before installing
the Power8 security system.

Installer Manuals
Read the entire manual carefully before beginning your
installation.
This manual describes:
• An overview of the system (Section 1: “Introduction”)
• How to install and wire the system and its modules
(Section 2: “Installation and Wiring”)
• How to program the system (Section 3: “How to Pro-
gram”)
• An introduction to the user interface and keypad oper-
ation (Section 4: “Keypad Commands”)
• An overview of the main system programming sec-
tions (Section 5: “Programming Sections”).
Be sure to record all your system programming in the Pro-
gramming Worksheets.
If you will be adding modules to your Power8 system, read
the Installation Instructions that come with each module.
User Guide
One user guide comes with the Power8 system. The User’s
Guide provides easy to follow instructions for end users.
Installers should also review this manual, in order to prop-
erly instruct the end-users once the installation is complete.
