What are the power requirements for a DSC iotega?

Measuring panel voltage is a common troubleshooting step when experiencing odd behavior on a panel. Most often, this step is required when there is a Modem-Panel Comm message, or the panel is not communicating properly with Alarm.com.

Note: Voltage cannot be measured for a DSC iotega using a voltmeter. Verify the power supply has the required voltage.  

The following table displays the recommended voltages for the DSC iotega panel:  

Panel power requirements 12 VAC
Battery power requirements 7.4 VDC

Wire size and maximum length 

It is recommended to only use the default power cord that comes with the panel.
