| Alarms | ||
| In most access control systems, Alarm Integration rarely extends beyond the simple adding of triggers, such as contacts and | ||
| detectors, and outputs, such as bells and sounders. Whilst such functionality is naturally also available with Sensor's range of | ||
| controllers, we go one step further in offering complete control over the system by the configuration and use of Alarm Zones. | ||
| Alarm Keypad | ||
| Sensor's KP-ALRM product is a powerful new alarm configuration unit, which, when combined with the GuardPoint Pro software, | ||
| can be configured to lock off doors, arm and disarm various inputs and manage multiple alarm zones. In addition, the product is | ||
| also able to give immediate and accurate feedback as to the satus of any zone to which it is connected. | ||
| The Alarm Keypad is also capable of linking to a single or to multiple readers, allowing doors to be shut down when certain zones are armed. This lock-down can be | ||
| removed by any cardholder in the software who has been programmed as an authorised user. The total number of these users is limited only by the parameters of | ||
| the GuardPoint Pro software. | ||
| The Alarm Keypad can be connected to any of our IC2000 or IC4000 controllers, and used to control any or all of their onboard inputs, and in any configuration. | ||
| In addition, extra relays that have been added to the system - such as those provided by the IRLED Extension Board - can also be controlled in the same way. | ||
| GuardPoint Pro | ||
| When combined with the full functionality of GuardPoint Pro, highly complex alarm systems can be created, with the Alarm Keypad being able not only to active or | ||
| deactivate inputs, but also to trigger certain events within the software, which can themselves be tied to certain reflexes. It would be possible, for example, to have an | ||
| authorised user key in their PIN on the Alarm Keypad and activate a certain set of alarms. This would in turn trigger an action to switch certain relays, locking off | ||
| several doors. At the same time, a message can be sent to one or more workstations, informing your guards that certain zones are now armed, together with bringing | ||
| up an interactive map of the areas covered for them to monitor. | ||
