Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
The PCS200 provides Paradox control panels with wireless communication
capabilities to report system events through a GPRS or GSM network to the
IPR512 GPRS/IP Monitoring Receiver.
The PCS200 can be configured to send system events to the
end-user via SMS, and can remotely upload/download with WinLoad software
via GPRS. All this is achieved via a simple 4-wire serial connection between
the control panel and the PCS200.
The PCS200 can be installed up to 2m (6 ft.) from the panel. The device’s
antenna can be installed up to 18m (60 ft.) from the reporting device using an
optional antenna cable extension, depending on the local signal strength.
