How do I Program Home Alarm PC2550?

The Digital Security Controls PC 2550 home alarm system is an eight-zone alarm system. Zones allow users to activate the alarm in certain areas of the home, leaving it inactive in other areas. The alarm also allows for the use of up to 16 access codes in addition to the master code. This lets owners assign a personal code for each person who needs access to the home. When a person no longer requires access, owners can easily remove the code.
