Alarm system: DSC 832 with PC 5501Z keyboard and PC5132-433 wirelesss receiver. The manual for the receiver says it will support 32 zones. Right now I have 8 wireless zones up and running and I want to add some more (4 more). The famous DSC manual is not too clear to me on how to do this. The manual (section 5.27) says "Any number of zones up to 32 can be programmed as wireless, adding wireless devices to the panel is done by simply selecting the zone number and entering the 6-digit ESN". Do I just start programmming section 002 and define zones 8-9-10-11-12, etc?
Thanks, Steve

Sort of. You have to enroll the transmitters in the reciever's programming, and you have to set the zones in the control programming as wireless zones, and set the correct zone types. It's a multi-step process.
