0:10um I kind of started this channel

0:13um just to see how

0:15how many people would respond to it

0:18and apparently there's a lot of people

0:20out there putting in DMP and

0:22lots of people are new at it and I have

0:25made a couple of videos uh basic

0:27programming and how to connect and doing

0:29all the basic stuff

0:32but there are people that um

0:35are having issues

0:38more depth into the programming so this

0:40is going to be uh

0:42Advanced programming

0:45and one of the hardest things on an

0:48xr150 or a DMP panel in general is

0:53knowing where to put the zones

0:56so in this video I'm gonna

0:59show you guys the different places to

1:01put zones because that is one of the

1:03hardest things to learn on this panel

1:08so we're going to go to program

1:13zones

1:16now

1:18DMP makes it where you can have

1:21zones on the LX bus or the keypad bus

1:27now

1:29there's advantages and disadvantages to

1:32both it really depends on the system

1:34that you're putting in

1:37um if you have access control

1:39Access Control modules can go on the LX

1:43bus or the keypad bus

1:47uh just so you know the xr150 you only

1:51get eight device addresses

1:54and on the 550 you get 16.

1:57so depending on which panel you have

2:01might determine where you put the Zone

2:03expanders

2:06um

2:08the advantages of putting them on the LX

2:11bus

2:14um

2:14is you can address the The Zone

2:17expanders say you have an eight Zone

2:19Zone expander you address it to double

2:21zero

2:22that would mean your first Zone would

2:24start at 500.

2:27so I get a lot of people thinking that

2:30they can just put the Zone anywhere kind

2:31of like a Honeywell panel and just put

2:34the Zone anywhere you want and that's

2:36just not the case with DMP like I said

2:38that's one of the hardest things to

2:40learn on this panel is to where to put

2:42the zone

2:44so if you are using the LX bus the

2:47drawback to that is you cannot wire it

2:49to a keypad so if you

2:51already have a a keypad out in the field

2:55you can't simply just wire off the Zone

2:57expander onto that you have to run a

2:59wire all the way back to the panel and

3:01wire it to the LX bus

3:04but when it does come to zoning it is

3:06definitely easier

3:08so if you set the address to double zero

3:11your first Zone expander would be 500

3:16all the way up 501 502 503-504-505

3:23all the way to the last Zone say you had

3:25a 16 Zone expander you would get 16

3:27zones and they would all be in sequence

3:32that's just not the case if you put it

3:34on the keypad bus the keypad bus is

3:37where people get kind of confused

3:41um

3:42you have Zone expanders that are on

3:44keypads you have Zone expanders by

3:46themselves

3:48[Music]

3:48um

3:49say you want say you have a four Zone

3:52expander built onto the keypad

3:55so if you do devices

3:59you would go to program device setup

4:04let's expand this now keep in mind

4:08the XR 150 only has eight device spots

4:14if you have a 550 you get 16. so if you

4:19if you have a lot of Access Control

4:22you may want to stick the Zone expanders

4:25on the LX bus

4:28if you don't have a lot of Access

4:29Control you just got to keep in mind you

4:32only get eight device spots on an xr150

4:38um

4:39now on the Zone expander itself there's

4:41a dip switch that says LX or keypad bus

4:46if you're using one or the other you

4:48have to put that dip switch on which one

4:51you're going to be using and it's going

4:53to have that dial you always have to set

4:56the dial

4:58uh depending on if it's on the keypad

5:00bus or the LX bus you have to set the

5:02dial and you have to set the dip switch

5:05and that's

5:07[Music]

5:07um

5:08depends on where you put the zone you

5:11can't just make it any Zone you want

5:13like a Honeywell panel

5:17say you have a keypad out in the field

5:19and you have the keypad that has four

5:22zones on it

5:24instead of running a wire all the way

5:27back to the panel you could just simply

5:29wire a a door contact straight to the

5:33keypad

5:36and but of course all keypads on the

5:39xr150s and the 550s they all keypads

5:42have to be addressed

5:44so say this keypad is device number one

5:47we're gonna add new

5:52and we're going to make it device number

5:55one and we're going to name it if it is

5:57a keypad we're going to say Lobby keypad

6:07if you have multiple areas

6:10uh you can tell this keypad what areas

6:13you want it to be able to see we're just

6:14going to do area one for now

6:18um

6:19so if you do use the zones on keypad one

6:26your first Zone would be 11.

6:30so it the first number would be the

6:32device number

6:33and you always do groups of four on the

6:37keypad bus

6:39so if it's device one

6:41it would be one and then zones one two

6:45three or four so that would be 11 12 13

6:48or 14.

6:50now say the keypad device number is 2.

6:56your first Zone would be 21 22 23 24.

7:03if it's 3 31 32 33 34.

7:09so that's how you would figure out where

7:12you would put the Zone if it's on the

7:15keypad bus

7:17now say you don't have

7:20say you're not wiring a Zone expander to

7:24the keypad or the using the zones built

7:27onto the keypad say you're actually

7:28putting in an eight Zone expander on the

7:31keypad bus

7:32so there's going to be a dial on the

7:34Zone expander

7:37say you

7:38address it to zero four

7:41if it is an eight Zone expander

7:45the first Zone would be 41. 42 43 and

7:5144.

7:54now the Second Bank of zones you have

7:57eight zones on the expander

8:00and if you addressed it to four the

8:02Second Bank of zones on to the right

8:05which you would think would be six seven

8:07eight and nine

8:09that would be 51 52 53 and 54. but you

8:15have to set them up in devices

8:18so say you did address the Zone expander

8:21to to zero four you would have to go on

8:25device programming and set device 4 and

8:285 to a Zone expander

8:34device type Zone expander

8:40now zones when you go to Zone

8:43information once you created all your

8:45devices and created all your areas

8:48I mean the Zone it's going to let you

8:51program The Zone anywhere you want which

8:54is why people get in trouble because

8:56they feel that they could make the zone

8:59and it just be anywhere they want

9:01so when you do go to zones you you have

9:05to know which zone number to put it at

9:07it's

9:08that's the that's probably the hardest

9:10thing on this panel to learn

9:13um and like I said it depends on if your

9:16Zone expander is on a keypad on a Zone

9:20expander or on the LX bus because it can

9:23be anywhere

9:25and you notice 51 that would be address

9:295 Zone one 51.

9:32now on an LX bus like I said double zero

9:37you can make that address 10 then it

9:40would start at 5 10.

9:42and then your eight zones above that

9:45so you could have multiple Zone

9:47expanders one at double zero one it

9:50two zero then that would be 520.

9:55but like I said on the devices you're

9:58limited to eight so your final address

10:01would would be 81 through 84.

10:06now as a rule of thumb DMP kind of puts

10:10thing of

10:11puts things in order kind of like this

10:14of order of importance

10:17so when I'm first building a system

10:20you probably want to start with devices

10:22you just

10:24label all your devices

10:27keypad Zone expanders whatever Access

10:30Control modules you want to put all

10:31those first

10:33the next thing I like to do

10:36is areas I kind of like to make all my

10:39areas of course this panel can do areas

10:43home and away

10:44I all in commercial

10:46in commercial applications I always use

10:49areas I just feel it's easier especially

10:53if you're doing Access Control I'd

10:55always choose an area system and that is

10:58under

11:04system options

11:07right here you can switch it to area all

11:10perimeter home sleeping away I always

11:13like I said it always in a commercial

11:17instance I always use area it's just in

11:20my opinion easier

11:23I would always recommend

11:27programming all your devices first

11:29device one

11:33Lobby keypad

11:43now if you have a Zone expander

11:51on the wiring with the keypads

11:56we're going to do new

11:59I always kind of if you are going to

12:01have Zone expanders on

12:06the keypad bus

12:08I always recommend this is an XR 150

12:11panel so we're going to start at the

12:13highest number and work our way down and

12:15I always start with the keypads at the

12:17lowest number so we're going to do

12:20this expander since it's an eight Zone

12:22we're going to use seven and eight we're

12:25just going to call it

12:27Warehouse

12:30expander

12:34here we would change it

12:37to a Zone expander

12:42now when I do this we have to make

12:46device eight also a Zone expander

12:51or else the second parts of the zones

12:53will not work

12:56so we're going to make seven and eight

12:59a Zone expander

13:13the more detailed you are with the notes

13:16it helps everyone in the future and

13:19we're just going to change that to

13:20expander

13:25apply

13:32so you notice we have Lobby keypad and

13:36keep in mind I always start at one with

13:38keypads

13:40and if you have an xr150 you would start

13:43it eight and work your way down

13:46with Zone expanders

13:49now if you do have access control I

13:52would probably recommend

13:54depending on how many Access Control

13:56doors you have because each module each

14:00access module is going to take up a spot

14:02on the devices

14:04so if you only have a couple of doors

14:07and you want to run everything off the

14:08keypad bus that's fine but say you had

14:11five doors of Access Control you would

14:14probably want to put the Zone expanders

14:16on the LX bus

14:19um it really depends on the system

14:22I mean one system you may just have a

14:25bunch of zones one other system you may

14:27have a bunch of Access Control doors

14:30um but it does give you that capability

14:32of putting it on either one

14:35um I mean you can even put access

14:37modules on the LX bus

14:41um that's a different video

14:43but the biggest part of this video is

14:46determining where to put the Zone

14:49numbers because I did have someone in

14:51the other video question

14:53okay I programmed a Zone and it and it's

14:56showing faulted it's more than likely

14:58because he put it

15:00he just made up some Zone number and

15:03thought he could just put it anywhere he

15:05wants kind of like a Honeywell panel and

15:06that's not the case with this

15:12now lots of systems have uh

15:16as you would call a partition on a

15:18Honeywell panel they call it areas

15:21this panel's kind of like an old silent

15:24knot panel when it comes to areas

15:28um I don't know if any of you guys are

15:30familiar with the Silent not panel that

15:32was I've done this for 25 years So

15:36Silent Night panels were

15:39um

15:40what we would put in back when I first

15:43started they were extremely hard

15:47um one of the hardest panels you would

15:49ever think of programming but DMP

15:52simplifies it but they do kind of use

15:54the same

15:55scenarios like having one wire go to a

15:58keypad

16:00or an access control module and in it

16:02and all the wires wired to that versus

16:06most access control panels where they

16:08would you would have to home run all the

16:10wiring

16:11but with areas

16:14you can make

16:17keypads display areas whatever areas you

16:20want you can put zones and areas

16:24um

16:28just for example we can make area one

16:32the store

16:40we could make area two

16:44the cash office

16:52could make three

16:55the warehouse

17:01always hit apply

17:04now once we make the areas

17:09um

17:15then we would go to the zone

17:23and like I said you have to know if if

17:26you're just using zones one through two

17:28and ten on the panel it's it's no big

17:30deal you know where to put those

17:33but

17:34say you had it on the Zone expander on

17:37the LX bus and you addressed it to

17:40double zero your first Zone would be

17:42500.

17:43of course we're gonna go new

17:48Zone number 500

17:53uh we're gonna tell it what area it's on

17:55we're gonna do the store

17:58we're just going to do front door

18:04and apply

18:06now you can have Zone expanders on the

18:10keypad bus and the LX bus

18:13so say you're using

18:18um we're gonna do new

18:23say you have a Zone expander on the

18:25keypad bus

18:27or a Zone expander on the keypad bus you

18:30have to know what the address of the

18:31keypad or what the address to the Zone

18:34expander is say we're putting it on

18:37keypad address number five it would be

18:4051.

18:43and then you would assign it to which

18:45area

18:46say you have a keypad in the cash office

18:48and you want to assign it there

18:51cash office door

18:59apply

19:01of course if you have it

19:04if you haven't programmed the devices

19:06yet

19:08you would need device number five

19:16set to cash office keypad

19:24and here's where you would say

19:27hey I only want this keypad looking at

19:30the cash office

19:33so we do display area two

19:40would tell it what area this zone is

19:44kind of like a partition

19:47um

19:48say you had the cash office

19:51well you would want to set this cash

19:54office to cash office area 2.

19:59and apply

20:01now under devices

20:06your cash office keypad

20:09display area 2.

20:12so this keypad can can display multiple

20:16areas

20:17but we're just making it display area

20:19two so none of the warehouse zones or

20:22none of the store zones would show up on

20:25this keypad kind of like a partition on

20:27a Honeywell panel

20:30and once again under devices

20:35you may only want the cash office keypad

20:38to show the cash off of zones but the

20:40warehouse keypad

20:43right here is display areas you may want

20:46to you want to make this keypad show the

20:49zones on different areas

20:52once again if you want it one two and

20:55three you would do one hyphen three

21:00if you only want it on one and two it'd

21:02be one comma two

21:05or one comma three for one and three

21:08now this comes in handy when you have

21:10multiple areas

21:16now if you if you have a wireless zone

21:22um

21:24I think that plugs into the X500 bus

21:28or the X bus

21:30on the panel it has a specific spot that

21:34you wire the wireless receiver

21:36the zones stay on the 500s

21:40so

21:42Wireless zones I mean you can basically

21:45put them anywhere you want so long as

21:47it's on the five in the 500 range

21:51so we would do

21:54zones

21:56I never recommend if you have a Zone

21:58expander don't ever cross say you got a

22:01wireless zone too

22:02don't ever use

22:05if you set the Zone expander to zero

22:08don't ever use any of the zones that

22:10that zone expander could use in the

22:12future

22:13or else you're just going to screw your

22:16service tech when he goes to add a Zone

22:18in the future he may not be able to use

22:19that zone expander Zone

22:22so

22:24here's Wireless

22:27we're going to do new

22:30we'll save 520.

22:35we're just going to name it Wireless

22:38door

22:44we're going to assign it an area

22:46say this is the warehouse

22:51now you would go to wireless check the

22:53box

22:57now we don't have a house code because

23:00this is a new install right here's where

23:03you would install the serial number to

23:05the wireless device

23:16and that's that the the wireless can go

23:19anywhere on the 500

23:21bus that you want now if you have a

23:24wireless key fob it would be under the

23:27400 range anywhere on the 400s

23:31for some reason they they want the the

23:33fobs on the 400s and the zones on the

23:36500s

23:38we're going to apply that and it did you

23:41do have in order to turn the wireless

23:43receiver on

23:50you have to give it a wireless code that

23:52number can be anything you want but it

23:54cannot be zero so we're going to add a

23:5710 there

23:58once you add a number in the in the

24:00house

24:02code there that will activate the

24:05wireless receiver that you install on

24:07the panel

24:10one other thing to consider

24:13is profiles

24:16I just had a customer the other day

24:19he only had two keypads but he needed

24:23three areas

24:27one of the stores where they would have

24:29drivers come in the front door and they

24:32didn't want them to have access to the

24:34rest of the store only the front door

24:36they could drop their stuff off and come

24:39in about 10 feet and walk out

24:41so he needed three areas

24:45but he only had two keypads so you can

24:47make a keypad show multiple areas

24:52but you could use the truckers code only

24:56allows him to disarm certain areas so

25:00you could have the front door on one

25:03area and have his code only activate

25:07that one area

25:12so we would we would call this profile

25:15truck driver

25:21uh hit new

25:28so this we're just going to make it

25:30number one

25:32truck driver and I see here's where

25:36okay so if if you have a Zone just on

25:40the front door and that's area one you

25:43would give him arm disarm areas one

25:48if he needs access if this particular

25:52one needs access to the whole store

25:55you would do one dash three

26:00that means he has access here to areas

26:03one two and three or anything in between

26:07if he only want if you only want to give

26:10him access to areas one and three it

26:13would be one comma three

26:18so that's uh that's kind of like a DMP

26:21because I mean say they they say you

26:24need them have access to eight areas

26:26you can do one hyphen eight and you

26:29don't have to punch in all the two three

26:32four five six and seven

26:33that's a little trick DMP gives you

26:38of course a truck driver you may

26:41you may want him to be able to arm and

26:43disarm and I mean you just have to go

26:46through all of the little choices that

26:49you can have that the truck driver may

26:52not be able to

26:53uh create codes or anything like that

26:55you just check over what you want him to

26:58be able to do and then hit apply

27:02and the final step would be user codes

27:10we would add a new one

27:14you can just make any code you want

27:18make any name you want

27:29right here's where you would tell it

27:34what privilege he has so you set the

27:37Privileges up under profiles but this I

27:40mean you may have 10 of these we only

27:43made one so we're going to assign him to

27:45the truck driver which is one

27:49I hope this this this video helps you

27:52out in zoning panels

27:55um in my opinion it's probably the

27:58hardest thing to learn on this panel

28:00uh the second hardest thing to learn is

28:03probably how to program an access

28:05control door

28:08um

28:10of course each panel has hard parts and

28:12each panel has easy Parts this panel

28:15definitely blows the Honeywell out with

28:18Alpha programming

28:19you don't have to look up a book and

28:22figure out what words to what numbers

28:24Associated words you can just use the

28:27alpha keypad with the numbers on the

28:30numbers

28:32um
