Adding a Wired Keypad to DSC PowerSeries NEO Security System

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to add a wired alphanumeric keypad to a DSC PowerSeries NEO Security System. Since the PowerSeries NEO is a wired alarm system, it needs at least one (1) keypad to control it. The initial keypad for the system should be an alphanumeric model. This is because you need an alphanumeric keypad to program the system. From there, you can add additional alphanmueric keypads, as well as touchscreen keypads, if desired. Most PowerSeries NEO Systems can support up to eight (8) total keypads. But the 128-zone DSC HS2128NK NEO can support up to (16) keypads.

There are a few different alphanumeric keypad models that can be used with the NEO. For an initial keypad, we recommend using the DSC HS2LCDRF9 N. This is because the HS2LCDRF9 N includes a built-in PowerG Transceiver for adding wireless sensors. This will greatly improve your flexibility when setting up the NEO System. If you already have a DSC HS2LCDRF9 N Keypad or another standalone PowerG Transceiver module, then a good keypad to consider is the DSC HS2LCD N. This is the exact same keypad, only without the built-in PowerG Transceiver. You might also consider the DSC HS2LCDP N, which includes a proximity tag reader.

The initial keypad you set up with the NEO System can be enrolled with a single key press. Additional keypads will need to be enrolled using a keypad that has been previously set up with the system. Also note that any keypad added to the NEO System will draw some power from the panel. Since the PowerSeries NEO is a fairly large and robust system, it's common for a user to add one or more auxiliary power supplies to the system. Both the DSC HSM2300 and the DSCHSM2204 can be used in that regard. Remember that without an added power supply, the NEO can only provide a maximum of 700mA of current. DSC recommends not exceeding 650mA without a power supply for optimal system performance.
