Instructions for a DSC Envoy

Many homes and businesses choose to have a security system installed in an attempt to prevent theft and to alert the proper authorities in the case of an emergency. The DSC Envoy is an alarm control module produced by the Digital Security Control Company. The Envoy offers multiple security options, such as setting the system to provide perimeter only coverage or using the module to alert emergency responders if a fire breaks out. The alarm module and supporting security system infrastructure must be professionally installed. However, the Envoy key pad puts control of the system in the property owner's hands.

If you enter an incorrect access code, the system will sound one long beep to prompt you to try again. As soon as you enter the correct code, the red "Armed" light turns off and the keypad will stop beeping.
