How to Determine D168A Compatibility


Issue

How can I tell if the D168 will work with my control?

Solution

There are 3 items that are important when determining if it will be fully compatible with the control that is in question.

1. The control must provide a 12 volt dc aux power source to the D168A.

2. The control must have the ability to program a point as a keyswitch point. This only applies if you want to arm/disarm through the phone. Otherwise, you will just get arm/disarmed status. The keyswitch point can be programmed as momentary or maintained.

3. The control must have the ability to program a trigger that will trip and stay tripped  when the system is armed.
