It used to be that a burglar alarm was all you needed to feel safe. Well times have changed, and so have security systems like the Power 864 Security System, an incredibly powerful, flexible and expandable security system that will keep you and your family safe in ways you never imagined. This comprehensive system comes out of the box ready to protect 8 zones, but is expandable to 64 fully programmable zones. Plus, with wireless expansion of up to 32 zones, you can protect your home without having to run cable throughout your walls. Multiple Security Systems in One The Power 864 has the capability to protect anywhere from one to eight separate areas (partitions), like your home plus a workshop, a valuable collection, or a guest house. If you have a tenant, their security system will work independently of yours, so your keypad won't beep when they enter their apartment. Incredibly Easy to Use A security system is only effective if it's easy to use. This system works with a variety of keypads, including those with five one-touch function keys with one-word commands. So when you're rushing out the door, the push of a single button will ensure your home is safe. And with the special 'exit' button, there's no need to disarm or rearm the system every time you leave the house or let the dog out. Control Your System Over the Phone! There's no need to worry about your home while you're on vacation or traveling on business. By adding the Escort Phone Control Module (#7502), you'll be able to control and check the status of your system from any telephone in the world. Talk about peace of mind! The same module also allows you to control up to four thermostats (#7502T, sold separately) either locally, or remotely with a phone call. That way you won't have to come home to a freezing or broiling home after a weekend getaway. You can also have the system automatically set back the thermostat whenever the system is armed. Controlling lights and appliances is a snap, thanks to its ability to control 32 X10 modules on any house code. Using the optional #1134B PowerLine Module, you'll even be able to open your garage door, unlock your gates and turn on your sprinkler system all with a simple phone call. You can even program your system to turn on the lights in the event of a burglar or fire alarm. The Phone Control Module also has the ability to talk! You'll be able to hear easy-to-understand, audible status updates of your system. It comes with a pre-programmed library of 250 words, with the ability to learn 240 custom words to reflect your specific needs, resulting in a near 500-word total capacity. Works With a Wide Variety of Keypads You'll also be able to choose from the widest variety of keypads! We recommend using alphanumeric LCD keypads at locations where you plan on controlling the system the most, while the economy LED keypads (#7508E8, 7508E16, 7508E32 series) are great for other areas like the kitchen, back door, etc. Fixed-message LCD keypads (#7478) give you the look of the more expensive alphanumeric LCD keypads, but at the price of the inexpensive LED models. There's even a fixed-message LCD keypad that doubles as a 32-device wireless receiver (#7478W). The system includes four on-board programmable outputs, expandable to 14, which allows you to control low-voltage or relay-controlled devices like X10 powerflash modules and more. Other features include a fuse-less design for protection from power problems, force arm by zone, a 256-event buffer with time and date stamp, global, single or multiple partition zone assignment. The system also includes several false alarm prevention features, including burglary verified timer, double hit, late to close, postpone auto-arm, cross-zoning and burglary/fire delay. The 7506 System includes a control panel and cabinet.
