The Elkron MP500/4N, MP500/8, and MP500/16 are wired intrusion alarm systems designed for small to mid-sized residential, industrial, and service settings. These modular systems are certified to Grade 3 according to EN50131 standards, with the specific grade depending on the system's construction and configuration. They offer remote controllability via landline, cell phone, text message, and the Internet.
Function Description
The control panels act as the "brain" of the system, interpreting signals from detectors and taking appropriate action, such as activating notification devices or ignoring signals when disarmed. They continuously check the functionality of all system devices, signal potential anomalies, and record all main events. The systems can manage up to 4, 8, or 16 distinct partitions for the MP500/4N, MP500/8, and MP500/16 respectively, allowing for flexible protection of different areas.
Keypads, readers, and expansions connect to the control panel microprocessor via a proprietary field bus, simplifying wiring. Detectors, sirens, and other signals connect to inputs and outputs on the control panels or bus-connected devices. All inputs are configurable for both type and specialization. Remote alarm notifications can be sent via vocal message, text message, or numerical protocol to alarm reception units.
Additional functions include:
- Programming via PC: Using Hi-Connect software (v3.60 or later).
- Program saving/transfer: Via USB pen drive for transferring programs between PCs and control panels or for backup.
- Firmware updates: Via USB interface with a pen drive.
- Technological signaling: Activated by non-intrusion events, capable of commanding specific actuations.
- Advanced vocal alarm calls: Specific alarm messages can be sent for individual partitions and/or inputs.
- Vocal message diffusion: System armed/disarmed and diagnostic information can be communicated via hands-free vocal messages through vocal keypads.
- Service vocal message: Users can issue memos via vocal keypads, which are reproduced locally until deactivation.
- Remote ambient listening: Enables users to hear environmental sounds via telephone, addressing up to 8 listening points through vocal keypads.
- Vocal help: Guides users with vocal messages for remote management.
- Door opener: Controls electric locks via customized outputs, limiting access to specific areas. Date, time, and user commands are recorded.
- Telephonic activation of an output without charge: Utilizes GSM telephone number recognition to generate commands on specific outputs and close communications after 3-4 rings.
- Advanced automation: A built-in timing programmer allows for weekly automatic and repetitive commands.
- Emergency response signal: Generates service signals when a dedicated button is activated or no movement is detected in a controlled environment (not EN50131 compliant).
- Fire alarm: Generates service signals from the control panel when fire detectors are installed (not EN50131 compliant).
