Aimed primarily at the residential market, but also suitable for use in small commercial applications, the G2 Series makes use of wireless technology.
The panel features a bi-directional functionality that is delivered through Honeywell’s Alpha radio protocol via an RF portal. Designers say that unlike simple one-way radio functions, the transmitter sends a message on one channel and then switches to a listen mode.
If it does not receive an acknowledgement from the radio within a predetermined time period, it repeats the procedure until it does. The radio transmitter will activate the alarm unless it receives an affirmative response that an intrusion has not taken place.
“The advanced functionality of the G2 panel delivers a cost-effective, integrated and reliable alarm system providing home owners and small business owners with greater peace of mind,” said Yves Pichon, marketing leader at Honeywell EMEA.
The G2 Series comes with a radio control fob that displays system status remotely. This allows site managers and security professionals to set and unset the system from anywhere and at any time.
Programmed to function as a ‘dual model’, the G2 Series also offers an access control facility. The MAX reader, an access control card reader that plugs into the control panel, enables the system to be set and unset from the door itself. Honeywell believes this functionality will be attractive for European markets where demand for restricted access systems is high.
The G2 Series, which is compatible with existing Ethernet or IP networks, is available now.
