Power that is affordable

November 2004 Infrastructure

Elvey Security Technologies together with Pyronix has a cost-effective and affordable solution to your security needs - the Matrix 816 alarm panel.

Full uploading and downloading capability ensures that all programming and system amends can be done from remote locations. This means that your companies will benefit through time saving and can maximise the revenue from each installation. Local or remote simple diagnostics can be made using the UDL software to detect battery voltage, fuse status, zone status, etc.

The Matrix 816 comes with eight fully programmable zones and can be expanded to 16 should further inputs be required. This can be done by means of an on-board input expander (MX-IX16). Zone operation may be programmed as normally open, (to enable the use of fire detectors), normally closed, double end of the line and single end of the line. There is the option to programme zones 4-16 to connect inertia sensors.

The icon keypad is aesthetically pleasing with a magnetic key cover lid and is extremely user-friendly. There are on-board PA, Fire and Medical keys and each Matrix 816 system is able to take up to four icon LCD keypads.

With 15 individual user codes plus one engineer code, the Matrix 816 is capable of meeting most of the needs for multiple users.

A 500-event memory log with time and date stamp can be accessed on-site or remotely and will provide an activity history as well as meeting ABI guidelines for signalling systems.

The panel has four arming modes and there is the option for single digit arming. Each of these can be timed, silent, final exit forced arm or keyswitch.

Heavy-duty lightning protection of 6,75 kV/125 A is standard on the Matrix 816.
