Eaton announces the availability of its new Scantronic grade 2 and 3 panels, both compatible with SecureConnect™ - an innovative smart security management system for residential and commercial buildings.
The expandable, remotely configurable panels are ideal for medium and large premises, as they allow users to connect and manage up to 50 or 200 zones. SecureConnect™ panel benefits include a lower cost per zone thanks to an innovative, 10-zone expander design, rather than the traditional eight. This enables a simple decimal numbering system that’s far easier to understand.
Cloud-connected capabilities
Powerful Flexibus™ technology is also designed with installer convenience in mind
On-device buzzers triggered from any keypad then save hours looking for hidden expanders in challenging locations – especially helpful when it comes to large complex sites. Powerful Flexibus™ technology is also designed with installer convenience in mind. Unlike with conventional panels, this offers the flexibility to install up to 50 devices in any of the following ways to optimise cable runs: allocating devices equally across all buses, installing all devices on a single bus, or using any combination in between.
Not only is this a real saver in terms of cabling time, it cuts cabling costs significantly. Thanks to cloud-connected capabilities, users can set and unset their alarm system via the Secure Connect™ app from anywhere in the world, plus customisable push notifications and easy third-party product integration via LAN or cloud.
Minimising training requirements
Eaton Product Manager, Dave Ward, said: “Eaton first launched its SecureConnect™-enabled grade 2 radio and hybrid panels in 2016. These have been very well received by our customers since, thanks to their dependability, as well as their class-leading security capabilities."
The i-on SecureConnect™ range now offers a solution for almost any installation"
"These two new panels now provide the same features for metal housing expandable systems and those with Grade 3 capabilities. The i-on SecureConnect™ range now offers a solution for almost any installation.” A common programming method across all i-on control panels minimises training requirements and further reduces installation time. Semi Auto Addressing of the expander – instead of relying on the installer’s memory – prevents the confusion of two devices being accidentally given the same address.
Smart security management system
Like all Scantronic products, the new panel range comes with extensive technical service, training and support through the TouchPoint hub.
SecureConnect™ is a smart security management system for residential and commercial buildings that enables remote monitoring of the latest IP intruder alarm devices via a user-friendly interface. The system delivers smart security control and convenience reinforced by protection against digital threats. It ensures both installers and system users remain securely connected to what matters most.
