The new EN Grade 3-compliant Tyco DSC PowerSeries Pro intrusion security alarm system provides a feature-rich intrusion detection solution for commercial properties of any size, from small shops to large office buildings, factories, healthcare facilities and educational campuses.
electronic security solution
The PowerSeries Pro completes the JCI intrusion product portfolio with integrators now able to single-source a complete electronic security solution for commercial installations from Johnson Controls, according to Jennifer Doctor, the company’s Intrusion Product Management Senior Director. "The launch of this high-specification system provides exciting opportunities for our Tyco installation partners across EMEA to generate new business, as well as consolidate their relationships with their existing end-user clients,” said Jennifer.
"They can now recommend the EN Grade 3-compliant PowerSeries Pro to their clients, along with access control and video surveillance solutions which come under the Johnson Controls umbrella, safe in the knowledge that all our products and systems meet the most demanding of standards for commercial property applications."
AES-128 bit encryption
- PowerSeries Pro is ideal for the most demanding applications where a Grade 3 system is an essential requirement or just a reference to follow.
- PowerSeries Pro has a high-current capability, making it well-suited for large-scale buildings where large numbers of contacts and sensors need to be installed.
- All the communication, whether internal between the system components or external with the monitoring center, is cybersecure, meeting the highest standards with AES-128 bit encryption.
Neil Evans, Senior Product Manager, believes that PowerSeries Pro will very quickly earn a reputation for being the ‘installers’ friend’.
hybrid intrusion security alarm solution
PowerSeries Pro is supplied with removable terminal strips and programming templates"
"A lot of thought has been put into how we can make life easier for installation engineers and reduce the time they have to be on site. For example, PowerSeries Pro is supplied with removable terminal strips and programming templates, as well as ethernet and Wi-Fi capabilities to reduce installation and system commissioning time. There is also a supporting installers’ app which can be run on a smartphone or tablet to program the system locally.”
PowerSeries Pro also offers a highly effective hybrid intrusion security alarm solution by providing the option to install a combination of hardwired and wireless detectors and sensors. With built-in 128-bit AES encryption and cyber protection capabilities, the hybrid option provides an EN Grade 2-equivalent solution which capitalizes on unique PowerG technology – an “invisible wire”.
two-Way wireless communication
PowerG features multi-channel frequency hopping and provides true two-way wireless communication. It also has the ability to transmit detector activation alerts over long distances. This offers potential major cost and operational benefits by being able to have one control unit handle alarm activity from detectors located in multiple buildings on a site.
