The B5512 Control Panel integrates intrusion and residential fire, providing one simple user interface for both systems. The B5512 provides up to 48 individually identified points that can be split into 4 areas.

The control panel can communicate through its built-in Ethernet port (not applicable to "E" control panels), or through compatible plug-in modules that can send events over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or over cellular network communications. With the B5512, you can monitor doors, windows, and motion within areas like showrooms or those that hold inventory. Each user can have a personalized passcode, a wireless keyfob, and an access credential to control the system.

Use programmable authority levels with restricted privileges to provide service, security, and cleaning personnel with full or limited access. Use the three programmable outputs (expandable up to 43) to turn on lights or lock and unlock doors. Users can:

• Turn on the system to secure the stockroom while you conduct daily business.
• Perform tests to ensure your system is working properly.
• Set your system to alarm immediately if a door opens.
• Activate the Watch feature so a tone sounds whenever a customer enters.
• Set a schedule for your system to automatically turn on at closing time.
• Use wireless security options to customize your system.

Central monitoring stations provide 24-hour system monitoring with access to vital services. Professional security personnel can test the system, monitor system activity, and alert the police, fire department, or other emergency response teams if necessary.

Area configurations

Link multiple areas to a shared area such as a lobby or common entryway. The shared area then automatically turns On (arms) when all associate areas are armed and turns Off (disarms) when any one associate area is disarmed. For higher security applications, the Area Re-Arm feature guarantees that areas are always rearmed, and are disarmed for no longer than a specific, configurable, amount of time (for example, service time).
