Wireless touch-
screen keypads
Tel Aviv, Israel
Visonic
, a brand of Tyco Security Prod-
ucts, has recently released two new wireless 
touchscreen Iconic keypads  KP-160/
MKP-160. 
The keypads support most of the daily 
user security system functions, such as: 
arming/disarming, initiating emergency 
response, fire and panic alarms, controlling 
home appliances and reviewing system 
status. Both new keypads can also be used 
with proximity tags or employee RFID 
tags for easy and quick arming and disarm-
ing in homes, small businesses and office 
environments.
The KP-160/MKP-160 keypads' touch-
screen and intuitive display make operat-
ing alarm systems easy. Two-way, wireless 
communication with the panel allows 
users to receive confirmation that the com-
mands have been successfully executed. 
Also, audible exit beeps inform users how 
much time is left before the system is 
armed. For enhanced security, the keypads 
can be used in hidden panel architecture 
to prevent intruders from locating and 
then disabling the control panel. The key-
pads are available in three colours: silver, 
black and white, and can be wall-mounted 
or placed on a table with stand.
"With the release of these new keypads, 
the user experience of our security systems 
just got better," commented Eetay Natan, 
Senior Product Manager at Visonic. "The 
keypads' large, icon-based, LCD touch-
screens make the life of both users and 
installers a lot simpler as it is easier to use 
the security system and to understand the 
status of the system. Also, with the prox-
imity reader and tags, users are freed from 
having to memorise codes and installers 
can maximize their customers' security by 
installing the control panel in a hidden 
location."
MKP-160 works with Powermax 
systems (ver. 17 and above); KP-160 PG2 
works with Powermaster-10 G2 (ver. 15 
and above) and all Powermaster-30 G2 
systems.
