New touchscreen keypad

April 2007 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

Elvey Security Technologies has introduced the new PK5590CL colour touchscreen keypad to the local market. It features a high contrast QVGA display with three blue backlit one-touch emergency keys and three easy to view system status buttons.

The new touchscreen interface allows users to see exactly what mode the alarm system is on, and to change it with just one touch.

The Event Log function allows users to view their alarm history. A convenient scroll bar enables users to locate buffered events. Prominently displayed FAP (Fire/Auxiliary/Panic) keys allow users to contact emergency services with the press of a button. To help reduce false alarms, activation delays have been implemented that require users to press and hold the keys for two seconds before its function is initiated. The screen displays the accessed emergency service to users and notifies them that the request has been sent.
