About the Panels
The M2000 and M800 intruder alarm panels have been designed to satisfy the most demanding
requirements of alarm-systems professionals. The panels are flexible, easy to install and robust,
yet the modular approach of the system hardware ensures that a cost-effective solution is
available for installations of any type or size.
Each control panel supports a different number of programmable zones and provides
alternative network solutions to match the system requirements.
The configuration menus are feature packed for ultimate flexibility, yet are both logical and easy
to use. Systems can be set up with ease, either from a keypad or via a PC running the
Downloader software.
Both panels include a USB connector for a local connection to a Downloader PC. The M2000
also has a Serial (RS232) port, which can be used instead of the USB port if required.
The M2000 and M800 include a built-in modem, which enables direct connection to a
telephone network without the need for an external modem. The modem allows remote
connection to an Alarms Receiving Centre (ARC), or to a PC running the Downloader software.
Each zone can be one of several different types. The zone type determines how the system
responds when a sensor on the zone triggers. For example, for a normal alarm zone type, an
alarm is generated only if a sensor is triggered while the zone is set. For a panic alarm zone
type, an alarm is generated irrespective of whether the system is set.
The system is capable of being divided into separately controlled areas known as "wards", which
enable the premises or parts of the premises to be set or unset independently.
The main differences between the control panels are shown in the following table.
