pc5132-433 problem

I have a DSC Power632 with a PC155MX board inside. I recently installed a PC5132 according to instruction (I think). When I enter section [903] i get back 1, 8, 17 on my keypad. I believe that the 1 and 8 are my existing keypads and that 17 is the pc5132.
After I enroll wireless devices (the problem I'm going to describe occurred with the WS925L contact and the WLS914 PIR Motion Detector) the front entrance (wired Zone 8 ) and all my wireless devices stop working. I can get everyting back to normal by entering section [804] and hitting double zeros to un-enroll the wireless device. Any ideas?

Have you gone into sections 101 thru 116 and set the wireless attribute (
on, activated the zones in sections 202 and 203 and also defined the zones in section 001 and 002

Sections 101-108 are wired zones. Sections 109-116 are connected to existing wireless devices- all working fine. I tried to enroll the devices in zones 17 and when that didn't work, to zone 18. I completed sections 117 (and 118) and enabled the wireless in 8. I activated them in 204, defined them in 003 and entered the reporting codes in 322. Somehow I think the wireless expansion module is affecting the keypad. I say this (actually I just thought of it as I'm typing) because the front door that gets deactivated is connected to the keypad and the wireless devices connect through the keypad (LCD5501Z). Maybe that helps. Could there be a conflict with the keypad and the wireless expansion module?

The PC1555MX has a maximum of 16 zones available. To add your wireless devices you can either combine some of your hardwire zones to free up the zones for wireless or you can upgrade to a PC1832 panel.
Your existing keypads are compatible with the 1832 panel.

dilligaf- Thanks for taking the time to help with this. I installed a PC5132-433 wireless receiver. According to the 632 installation manual, the PC5132 is compatible and will allow me to connect up to 32 wireless devices. I think it is the PC5132 that is somehow conflicting with the keypad.

The PC5132 is capable of handling up to 32 devices. The limiting factor is the control panel. It will only handle 16 devices. Check the installation manual. It should have the panel specifications in it.

Interesting. It is a PC1555MX panel. The installation manual states, "System expandable to 32 zones using: up to 8 keypad zone inputs and/or up to 32 wireless zones with the PC5132 wireless expansion module"
Is there something I am misinterpreting?

Did you replace an existing PC5132?
There are 2 different wireless receivers. The PC5132-433 which is the new unit and the PC5132-900. The difference is the frequency that the wireless devices use. If you replaced the old unit (5132-900) with the 5132-433 your existing devices won't work with the new unit.
When I had tried adding onto an existing 1555mx I was told by tech support that the 5132-433 would not work with the 1555mx panel.

I guess that answers the question. It is the 433 version that I am tyring to install with the 1555mx panel. I guess my best option is to upgrade the panel to the 1832 panel.
Thanks so much for your help!
