When one installs an XR Series alarm panel in a building that’s already wired for IP network, they’re in luck. DMP’s new 7463 Network Thinline Keypad gives them the advantage of saving money by easily plugging into the existing network.

Perhaps they’re installing DMP in a remote building in which running new wire would be costly. Instead, install DMP’s new 7463 keypad and keep the job costs lower, all while they continue to get the same reliable functionality and performance of DMP’s hardwired keypads.

Network-connected control panel

There are often requests from dealers for a network-connected keypad for applications where network drops are readily available,” says Brian Crouse, product manager for DMP’s Wireless & Keypads. “This is it, giving you a wide variety of options for fast installs. All you need to do is find your network drop, install and program the keypad to talk to the XR Series panel and you’re done.”

With this new option, the new 7463 Network Thinline LCD Keypad can send keystrokes to and receive display messages from a network-connected control panel over DMP’s encrypted network protocol. Simply plug in one network cable to power the keypad. The keypad also provides a built-in prox reader for arming and disarming.
