What are the control panel and the remote keypad?
A. This is the ‘heart’ of the alarm system itself. All the decisions are made here. All the parts of the alarm system are linked to this box; this is why it is usually hidden away! The control panel is connected to the mains electricity and has a battery fitted inside to run the system in the event of a power cut. A remote keypad controls the alarm system. This is fitted somewhere near the exit point, it is mainly used to switch the system on and off but is also where information is entered or extracted.
