Alarms

Control panel

by Mark Rowe

DSC, part of Tyco Security Products, has introduced the PowerSeries PC1404 control panel and the PowerSeries PC1404RKZ keypad, to control security systems.

The panel offers four on-board zones that are expandable to eight. It can support up to four keypads, including the new PowerSeries PC1404RKZ, and four phone numbers. The makers say it’s suitable for budget-conscious users. The product includes two on-board PGM outputs, and is expandable to 14 PGM through expansion modules.

The panel has numerous false alarm prevention features and continuously monitors for potential trouble conditions. It supports two- or four-wire smoke detectors and its flexible zone configuration allows for 29 zone types and 11 programmable zone attributes. The product can support 39 user codes and one master code with six programmable user code attributes.

The eight-zone LED wired keypad can serve as an additional keypad in an existing installation. Its all-white design blends with décor and the integrated number pad features 12 input buttons and 16 status lights.

The keypad’s small size makes it suitable it is claimed for tight spaces, and the housing design includes an integrated wiring channel. An optional nightlight powered by two white on-board LEDs, with adjustable brightness level, enables the keypad to be found in the dark.

To access critical alarms on the PC1404RKZ users need to press and hold for two seconds the 1 and 3 keys for fire, the 4 and 6 keys for auxiliary and the 7 and 9 keys for panic. The remaining keys can be programmed for one-button functions and holding those keys for two seconds activates commonly used functions such as stay, away and door chimes.
