I have a DSC Power632 which I have been using for a year or so. decided to add a 2 wire smoke detector MN-220to the system, The board is a PC1555 50/300, so if according to the manual it should work, its not. I connected it to the PGM 2 and setup (009-04-10). The thing is I get no voltage showing, alarm LED does not show. I checked with a volt meter and nothing between Aux+ and PGM2. I plug the alarm into PGM1 and the alarm will go active (alarm LED goes on) but no Alarm /bell, I guess because PDG1 is not meant for a 2 wire detector. Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks

You have to set PGM-2 to operate 2 wire smokes in system programming (the second entry in programming location 009 needs to be changed from 10 to 04).
