Hello, I have the following DSC components installed in my home:
PC1832 Main Panel
RFK5516-433 Wireless Keypad

... and I’m trying to add an expansion module:

PC5108 Expansion Module

... so I can add more hardwired zones.

I have followed the instructions on the installation manual, and step 4 says to “Enter section [903] to verify that the module is supervised.” The LED kepad shows 1 and 10. Does anyone know what this means?

It's hidden on page 23 of the PC1832 installer manual.

It means that you have a keypad on keypad address slot #1 and a zone expander on zone expander slot #2.

(Don't feel bad, DSC took one of the most unreadable manuals in industry and made them even harder to find anything. _I_ had to use the PDF search function to find it and I knew what I was looking for...)
