System Description
Introduction
The PCX is a hybrid alarm system. It integrates the award winning Enforcer two-way wireless
technologywith multiple automation outputs and a host of high security features. The system is easy
to use and can alert you to system activations via HomeControl+smartphone App notification
messages. It can also send alarmstothe Alarm Receiving Centre and maintenance company.
AlwaysAlert
The two-way wireless movement detectors are fullyoperational when the system is armed, making
your system more secure. In other wireless systems, devices are disabled for up to five minutesafter
every activation to save battery, therefore compromisingyour security.
Battery Monitoring/Saving
Advanced technology preservesthe battery life of each wireless device. The PCX panel also informs
you in advance of when a battery needsreplacing, giving you enough time to change the battery in
the specific device before itstops working. This key feature keeps your environment fully protected,
unlike other conventional systems.
High SecurityEncryption
128 bit high security wireless encryption protocoland intelligent wireless jamming detection.
User FriendlyKeyfobs
The two-way wireless keyfob allows you to see the status of your PCX via three colour LEDs:
• System armed: A RED LED will illuminate.
• System disarmed: A GREEN LED will illuminate.
• System fault: An AMBER LED will illuminate (this willflash when the keyfob is unable to arm the
system).
• Alarm activated: A flashing RED LED.
It is possible to allocate different functions to each keyfob, such as: arming or disarming different
areas, activating outputstocontrol external devices (such as: gates), requesting the system status
and activatingPA (panic alarms).
Up to 32 wirelesskeyfobscan be added to your PCX. Each wirelesskeyfob has a unique ID, which
can be reported to the ARC and HomeControl+App. These are stored inthe event log of the PCX
individually.
Keyfobsmayonlybe used if the PCX-RIX32-WE is installed. Ask your engineer for more
information.
User Automation Outputs
The PCX gives you the optionto operate devices (such as: gates, lights, sprinklers.) via your keypad
or remotelyvia your keyfob or HomeControl+App.
PCX User Guide 102017853 - V01 5
HomeControl+ App and SMS notifications
Your PCX will provide you with real-time push notifications on your smartdevice or within the
HomeControl+ App, such as: that your child has returned home from school, or a leakage of water in
your property. You can also opt to receive these via SMS text messages, when a GPRSmodem is
connected to the panel.
HomeControl+ App
The PCX system can be remotelycontrolled using the HomeControl+App. Itallows you to arm and
disarm the PCX, check the system statusand bypass inputs. It also allows you to activate devices
remotely, such as gates, lights, sprinklers andmore. The HomeControl+ App and PyronixCloud
communication is fully encr ypted to the highest standard and no sensitive user data isstored on the
PyronixCloud.
The HomeControl+Appis available in two versions: Android from Google Play Store and iOS from
Apple store.
