The control panel is the brain of the alarm system and controls all the functions of the system.
All devices wire back to the control panel.
The communicator portion of the control panel contains a digital dialer that reports intrusions and emergencies to the central monitoring station over the telephone line. The dual technology motion sensor utilizes two different types of technology, PIR and microwave technology. Microwave technology picks up any movement within the range of the microwave sensor, whereas PIR only picks up heat movement. Microwave PIR sensors alarm upon valid signals from both the PIR and the microwave sensors. This gives these sensors greater reliability and makes them less likely to trigger a false alarm from environmental disturbances.
