Control keypad It must be installed on a wall. It provides information on the system’s status, signalling any open doors or windows. By means of an access code, it enables the alarm to be enabled area by area, totally enabled or disabled. It provides a list of the latest events and indicates the external temperature (if an outdoor siren is connected to the system).

Operation according areas The protection mode will differ according to the type of life of the persons present in the rooms to be protected. In fact, theft can occur even if some persons are present in the rooms. Thanks to this alarm system, it is possible to protect only one part of the dwelling, or to use only one type of sensor (e.g.: the opening contacts and the glass breakage sensors, but not the movement sensors)
Installing the system devices H4 Alarm Control Unit with telephone transmitter and siren Choice of location The control unit should be installed: - in a flat surface, with sufficient space around to open the battery compartment, not recommended recommended - in the centre of the house and high up (for better radio range), - in an obstacle-free place for excellent sound diffusion of the integrated siren,...
