Adding a DSC HS2TCHP Touchscreen Keypad to a DSC PowerSeries NEO

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to add a DSC HS2TCHP Touchscreen Keypad to a DSC PowerSeries NEO Security System. The DSC PowerSeries NEO is a hardwired security system, and it usually has at least one touchpad alphanumeric keypad enrolled for programming purposes. Adding a touchscreen keypad can be a nice option to make the system more inviting and approachable for users who may feel uncomfortable or intimidated in trying to operate an alarm system.

When adding the DSC HS2TCHP Keypad, you want to first make sure that you power down the system. Making hardware changes while the system is powered on could result in damage to the panel or the keypad. The DSC HS2TCHP will use the same 4-wire connection as a standard alphanumeric keypad on the DSC PowerSeries NEO. You can connect the wires at the panel to the same four (4) terminals. The keypad terminals are also appropriately labeled. Make sure all the wires go the proper location. We advise using 18 AWG, 4-Conductor cabling for this job, but you really shouldn't have any problem using a different gauge of wire if that's what you have around. Just make sure to observe any wiring limits based on the wire size you use.

When you power the NEO System back on, the DSC HS2TCHP Keypad will start up as well. It will likely take a minute or two for the touchscreen keypad to fully boot up, so be patient. Upon first startup, you will need to enroll the keypad with the system. This will be done using the system's main alphanumeric keypad. You can have the DSC HS2TCHP Keypad auto-enrolled so that it is assigned to the next available keypad slot on the system. Try and remember which keypad slot is used, because it can be useful if you ever need to change the keypad settings later.
