System Components
3.1 Description
The DMP XR500 Series system is made up of an alarm panel with a built-in communicator, an enclosure, battery,
one 16.5 VAC transformer, and keypads. You can use up to sixteen supervised 32-character LCD keypads; network
communications and expansion interface cards; zone and output expansion modules; and initiating and indicating
circuit modules. You can also connect auxiliary devices to the panel’s output relays to expand the basic system
control capability. Combined current requirements of additional modules may require an auxiliary power supply.
Refer to the XR500 Series Power Requirements section in this guide when calculating power requirements.
