The EverGuard Express is a two-way, wireless control panel and keypad unit. It
comprises the main element of the EverGuard Express security system, an
advanced, end-to-end, bi-directional security, safety and home automation
system. The EverGuard Express receives Radio Frequency (RF) signals from a full
array of sensors and detectors, remote access devices and interface devices, such
as a key fob and motion sensor. It also transmits bidirectional RF signals to these
panels providing supervision, re-configuration, control, and more.
The EverGuard Express can be installed almost anywhere in a subscriber's home,
office or other premises.
This user guide provides detailed information on installing, programming, and
operating the EverGuard Express panel.
For information on the initial setup of the EverGuard Express Security System
using the Atlas Mobile application via BlackBerry Smartphone, defining the
peripherals and setting the initial parameters, refer to Atlas Mobile Application
chapter 3.20.1 below.
For information on modifying and updating the EverGuard Express Control Panel
parameters using the ESI-CMS application, refer to ESI-CMS chapter 3.20.2 below.
