       WinDSX FAQ 12/10 
  Cat5 cable cannot be used for anything in the WinDSX system except for a network 
connection to a PC or LAN module. 
  Firmware 569 is now in production. A key change is the Stacked Device Types. 
Instead of combination device types the panels try to resolve the card read with any 
device type assigned to any device in that location. 
  The DSX-1030PR5 Intelligent Processor is used to upgrade existing DSX-1032, 
1033, 1034 Intelligent Controllers. Mounts in metal enclosure that existing 1030P 
comes out of with 4 existing screws. The DSX-1030PR5 has 512K of Flash ROM 
and 512K of RAM. 
  The DSX-1020 is now a subset of the new DSX-1022. It has 2 Form C Relay 
Outputs, 1 Reader Port, and 8 Supervised Inputs. It also has 512K of Flash ROM 
and 512K of RAM. 
  The discontinued DSX-1021/1020 Intelligent Controllers do not perform the battery 
test at 10:00AM like the discontinued 1030 Series Intelligent Controllers do. The 
new DSX-1022 does perform the Battery Test. The DSX-1040 PDM has an input 
to trigger the battery test. It is connected to an open collector output on a 1040 
Series Controller and activated by a Time Zone assigned to the output. 
  The backup battery runtime for a 1048 may provide as little as 30 minutes. The 
amount of time provided is dependent on panel load. Properly adding more batteries 
can provide more time of battery power. 
  No Lock power from a DSX-1042 could be caused by the fire override having an 
open condition on the Fire Override input of the 1040-PDM. Place a short across 
the input and lock power should restore for locks 1-8. A closed circuit from the Fire 
Alarm System can also be connected to the Fire Override input. This circuit should 
go “open” on a fire alarm condition. 
  There is no +5 VDC on a DSX-1042 Intelligent Controller. Use caution when 
wiring readers to the 1042 panel. Readers will not work if they are wired 
improperly. However, there is 5VDC @ .375amps available on the 1040-CDM for 5 
volt devices. 
  On the 1040-CDM, jumpers 1 & 2 should be set properly to indicate if there is a 
Master Controller, (dip switch 8 on) within that enclosure. Jumpers connected to the 
2 left pins = all controllers in this enclosure are Slaves. Jumpers connected to the 
right 2 pins = a Master controller exists within this enclosure. 
  The 150/15 power supply, intended to provide power for all 1040 Series Intelligent 
Controllers, must not be used to provide lock power as well. A separate power 
supply must be used for lock power.
