DSC HSM2208 Product Details

The HSM2208 expands a compatible DSC alarm system with 8 additional programmable outputs. This gives security professionals greater flexibility when configuring system-controlled functions that require dedicated low-current outputs.

The module connects directly to the DSC system Corbus using the standard RED, BLK, YEL and GRN 4-wire connection. Once connected and enrolled with the system, the HSM2208 becomes part of the panel's hardwired expansion architecture.

HSM2208 Key Features

• Provides 8 programmable low-current outputs
• 50 mA maximum output rating per programmable output
• Expands compatible DSC security system output capability
• 4-wire Corbus communication with the alarm control panel
• Designed for hardwired security system installations
• Board current draw of 40 mA
• Auxiliary power output available for compatible devices
• Integrates into the DSC modular expansion architecture

HSM2208 Specifications

*Available system current must be calculated according to the connected control panel and other devices on the AUX/Corbus circuit.

Add 8 Programmable Outputs to Your DSC System

Security systems frequently require programmable outputs for functions beyond the outputs provided directly on the alarm control panel. The DSC HSM2208 8-output expander adds eight dedicated low-current outputs that can be programmed through the compatible DSC security system.

Because the HSM2208 communicates over the same Corbus architecture used by other compatible DSC expansion modules, it provides a clean way to increase system functionality without replacing the primary alarm control panel simply to obtain additional programmable outputs.

Common HSM2208 Applications

The HSM2208 is intended for installations that require additional programmable low-current security outputs beyond those available from the main alarm panel.

• Commercial alarm and security systems
• Residential security system expansion
• System status indicators
• Low-current signaling applications
• Programmable security system functions
• Expanded alarm control configurations

Hardwired Corbus Expansion

The DSC HSM2208 connects to the alarm controller through the system's 4-wire Corbus. The RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals connect to the corresponding Corbus terminals on the compatible DSC control panel.

This hardwired connection provides communication between the output expander and the alarm controller. Installers should always calculate available system current and follow the applicable DSC installation instructions when adding expansion modules and powered accessories.

DSC HSM2208 FAQs

What does the DSC HSM2208 do?
The HSM2208 adds eight programmable low-current outputs to a compatible DSC alarm system, allowing additional system-controlled functions and devices to be configured.

How many outputs does the HSM2208 provide?
The module provides eight programmable outputs, with each output rated for up to 50 mA.

HSM2208 Installation FAQs

Is the HSM2208 a hardwired module?
Yes. The HSM2208 connects to the compatible DSC alarm control panel using the system's 4-wire Corbus.

Is the HSM2208 a zone expander?
No. The HSM2208 is an output expansion module. For installations requiring additional hardwired input zones, a compatible DSC hardwired zone expansion module should be selected instead.
