Honeywell introduced the TouchCenter Plus intuitive graphical touchscreen keypad for Galaxy security systems. The new keypad simplifies daily security operation with its clear graphics and self-explanatory menu that enables users to see a snapshot of their entire system from a single screen.

Superior operating experience

With such a versatile and scalable solution across the Galaxy range—from large industrial and small commercial to residential environments—the system is proven to be an ideal solution for businesses and homes of all sizes, and gives customers a superior operating experience. Designed with flush or surface mount options, TouchCenter Plus fits perfectly into any modern business or home environment.

With touch functionality, users can quickly set the system or review status, or in more complex systems, use the keypad as an integrated hub to manage employee access privileges and other building systems such as lighting and air-conditioning, all from the seven-inch colour display screen. All system reports are displayed in plain text, enabling easy and fast operation via the device.

Live video footage

“The new TouchCenter Plus not only makes end-user operation much easier but also provides numerous additional benefits for both end-users and installers”

For users who want to keep a close eye on their premises, TouchCenter Plus can provide on-demand, live video footage from four IP cameras linked to the system. Additional functionality includes the ability to create and play voice recordings directly through the keypad’s built-in MP4 player, providing users the means of leaving system and personal messages for other system users. The keypad can also be used as an electronic photo frame with slideshow functionality, ideal not only in the home but also in the workplace to display important company communications or for installers to promote their businesses.

TouchCenter Plus is available with or without proximity reader and enables access control and intrusion functionality via a single user card, proximity tag or credential, ensuring easier and more secure management of personnel whilst also minimising user errors.

Hassle-free user operation

“We have focused on delivering a security system that makes operation clear and simple for users, so that managing their security systems becomes second nature and hassle-free,” said Daniel Wan, UK Security Marketing Leader, Honeywell Home and Building Technologies. “The new TouchCenter Plus not only makes end-user operation much easier but also provides numerous additional benefits for both end-users and installers.”

Fully compliant with EN-50131-3, Grade 3, Environmental Class II, the new TouchCenter Plus can be used in Grade 3 and Grade 2 Galaxy Dimension and Galaxy Flex/Flex+ security systems.
