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.
