If you have a Web-Enabled SecureLinc Family Kit wireless security system set up in your home, you can mount a wireless keypad by your main entrance for easy arming/disarming and programming purposes. The Wireless 2-Way Keypad can be set up by any entry to your home, where it communicates your commands wirelessly to the main unit, and it also receives status reports from the SecureLinc, so you'll know at a glance at the keypad's two-line LCD screen if any events occurred while you were out. Easy Control of Multiple Connected Devices Use the Wireless 2-Way Keypad to arm/disarm your alarm system, to initiate emergency/fire/panic alarms and to turn lighting devices on and off. This indoor multi-button wireless two-way keypad uses two-way encrypted coded transmission to the main SecureLinc unit, and it also provides aural and visual indications for easy confirmation. Since this keypad operates independently, a burglar can damage it without affecting the main system. In fact, if you program the system to contact you in the event of a breach, it will alert you instantly if an intruder removes the keypad from the wall or damages it. Flexible Power Options The Wireless 2-Way Keypad may be operated either by AC power or batteries (both included). If AC power is used, the device operates continuously, and the system status is constantly updated. If powered by batteries, the keypad enters sleep mode 15 seconds after the last key press, instantly becoming operational again upon any key press. If you choose to use AC power, the included batteries will provide backup power in case of an outage.
