    Spare terminals add to the flexibility of the system. One of the most powerful features of ARL-500 is its large graphic LCD display and its user-friendly interface that you will get used to in no time. Instead of using 2- or 4-line text displays that are usually too small and simple, we’ve made use of graphics LCD technology to maximize ease-of-use and legibility of the menu and status screens.

    (KK2x3057, KK3x3057, KKLCD-x, KKBT) Unlike the parallel connected call panels in conventional systems, ARL-500 system uses a serial bus, called CANbus, to connect all call-panels and indicator boards with a single cable. This setup minimizes the cost of wiring and facilitates installation. But as all panels are connected to a single port in the system, it is obligatory that we introduce a way to give a unique identifier to each call-panel.
