Aero-K uses 3 zones to monitor legacy systems for legacy burglary, fire, and panic alarms. Aero-K uses zone 1 and PGM 1 for keyswitch arming and disarming. Refer to Section 5 (PGM Output Functions) for information on the PGM multipurpose functionality.
Page 3
2.2. Aero codes Aero-K uses one master code (for the main user) and up to 40 user codes to arm and disarm the host control panel when keyswitch arming is used or if keybus connection is not used or available.
• Always connect Aero-K to an approved power source and battery backup. 3.1. Cable length Using Station Z or CAT 5 type wire, Aero-K can be installed up to 1000 feet away from the alarm panel. For installations with over 1000 feet distance between the alarm panel and the device, use higher gauge wire(s) considering the guidelines below.
High – Aero-K will trigger high temperature trouble event. 4.3. Voltage For proper operation, both alarm panel and Aero-K should be powered by approved power source within the recommended range. Different voltage levels and corresponding interpretations for the alarm panel are listed below.

4.7.4. Zones Aero-K provides four zone inputs. Zones 1 and 4 are used for partition 1 and partition 2 arm status, respectively. For legacy panels that do not use CID/SIA format, zones 2-4 are used for burglary, fire, and panic alarms respectively.

Keyswitch - Dial Capture/ Legacy 5.2. When using Aero-K for dial capture or legacy monitoring and remote arm/disarm, PGM 1 must be connected to a keyswitch zone on the alarm panel. For remote arm/disarm on two partitions systems (dial capture only), PGM 2 must be connected to another keyswitch zone on the alarm panel.
