System Description

Introduction

The PCX is a hybrid alarm system. It integrates the award winning Enforcer two-way wireless
technology with multiple automation outputs and a host of high security features. The system is easy
to use and can alert you to system activations via HomeControl+ smartphone App notification
messages. It can also send alarms to the Alarm Receiving Centre and maintenance company.
Always Alert
The two-way wireless movement detectors are fully operational when the system is armed, making
your system more secure. In other wireless systems, devices are disabled for up to five minutes after
every activation to save battery, therefore compromising your security.
Battery Monitoring/Saving
Advanced technology preserves the battery life of each wireless device. The PCX panel also informs
you in advance of when a battery needs replacing, giving you enough time to change the battery in
the specific device before it stops working. This key feature keeps your environment fully protected,
unlike other conventional systems.
High Security Encryption
128 bit high security wireless encryption protocol and intelligent wireless jamming detection.
User Friendly Keyfobs
The two-way wireless keyfob allows you to see the status of your PCX via three colour LEDs:
• System armed: A RED LED will illuminate.
• System disarmed: A GREEN LED will illuminate.
• System fault: An AMBER LED will illuminate (this will flash when the keyfob is unable to arm the
system).
• Alarm activated: A flashing RED LED.
It is possible to allocate different functions to each keyfob, such as: arming or disarming different
areas, activating outputs to control external devices (such as: gates), requesting the system status
and activating PA (panic alarms).
Up to 32 wireless keyfobs can be added to your PCX. Each wireless keyfob has a unique ID, which
can be reported to the ARC and HomeControl+ App. These are stored in the event log of the PCX
individually.
Keyfobs may only be used if the PCX-RIX32-WE is installed. Ask your engineer for more
information.
User Automation Outputs
The PCX gives you the option to operate devices (such as: gates, lights, sprinklers.) via your keypad
or remotely via your keyfob or HomeControl+ App.
