VERSA-KWRL2 wireless keypad for VERSA control panels
The VERSA-KWRL2 is a wireless keypad designed for operating and programming VERSA series control panels, operating in ABAX 2/ABAX two-way wireless system. The device meets the requirements of EN 50131 Grade 2 and uses encrypted radio communication in the 868 MHz band.
- Cooperation with control panels of the VERSA family (version 1.09 or higher)
- Two-way encrypted radio communication in ABAX 2/ABAX system
- Built-in proximity card and key fob reader for password-free system operation
- White backlit 2x16 character LCD display and keypad with 12 keys
- Powered by two CR123A 3 V batteries with optional APS-055 5 V DC power supply
Description and intended use
The VERSA-KWRL2 is a wireless keypad dedicated to operating and programming VERSA series control panels, requiring an ABAX 2 (ACU-220 or ACU-280) or ABAX system controller (ACU-120 or ACU-270) for communication. The device is designed to perform the functions of daily system operation, including arming and disarming in various modes, clearing alarms and triggering special alarms: FIRE, AID and EMERGENCY.
The keypad features an LCD display (2x16 characters) and a 12-key telephone-compatible keypad with four function keys for quick arming mode switching and menu navigation. Built-in LED indicators indicate the status of zones and the entire system, and a piezo transducer provides audible confirmation of selected system events.
Utility functions and security
The VERSA-KWRL2 has an integrated proximity card and key fob reader, allowing password-free operation of the system - full arming, disarming and alarm clearing. The white backlighting of the display and keypad enhances readability of messages and convenience of operation in low-light conditions, while a wake-up and automatic sleep mode function after 20 seconds of inactivity saves energy, including the ability to disable the card reader when not in use.
The ABAX 2 system's AES-encrypted, two-way radio communication in the 868 MHz band provides a high level of transmission security between the keypad and the control panel. The device has tamper protection against opening the housing and detachment from the ground, and meets the requirements of EN 50131 Grade 2 and Environmental Class II according to EN 50130-5, which allows it to be used in professional intrusion alarm systems.
Power supply and expLoatation
The VERSA-KWRL2's primary power source is two CR123A 3 V batteries, the status of which is continuously monitored by the device. The keypad can optionally cooperate with the APS-055 5 V DC power supply (electronics version 2.2 or later is required), which can be advantageous in installations with higher availability requirements.
The device features very low standby current consumption (on the order of single microamperes), which translates into long battery life under typical conditions ekspLoatation. Configuration of the keypad and updating of its software take place remotely, in the background of system operation, without the need to remove the device from the site.
