Orisec Control Panels
Overview
Orisec Control Panels are designed as scalable hybrid intruder alarm platforms for professional security installations. According to the datasheet, this category covers systems from 20 to 60 zones, with support for wired or wireless configurations, a range of LCD keypads, and mobile phone app connectivity. It also includes remote programming and maintenance via cloud and a broad choice of PSTN, GSM, Wi-Fi and Ethernet communication modules.
This category includes four main control panel models — CP-20, CP-20-PSTN, CP-60 and CP-60-PSTN — together with ZX-10 / ZX-10E expanders, RK-400 / RK-450 LCD keypads and CM2 Series communication modules. This makes the Orisec platform suitable for both smaller systems and larger multi-area installations that require app access, remote servicing and flexible communications.

Keypads
Orisec offers two LCD keypad options in this category. Both RK-400 and RK-450 feature integrated installation manual support, 1 zone input, 128 x 32 display resolution, temperature sensor, on-board piezo sounder, copy & paste function, selectable language per user, hinged PCB and low profile mounting.
Expanders
The expander range includes ZX-10 and ZX-10E. The ZX-10 is a zone and output expander with 10 zones and 10 outputs, while the ZX-10E is a zone expander with 10 zones. The ZX-10 also includes features such as on-board piezo, 16 ohm speaker output, RJ45 support for network in/out, 7 segment display, address noise notification, local diagnostics, temperature sensor and light sensor.
Communication Modules
The CM2 Series provides a flexible communications platform with single-path, dual-path and triple-path options. The datasheet lists base modules such as CM2-WIFI, CM2-GSM, CM2-IP and CM2-PSTN, as well as combined variants including CM2-WIFI-GSM, CM2-IP-GSM, CM2-IP-WIFI, CM2-PSTN-GSM, CM2-PSTN-WIFI, CM2-GSM-GSM, CM2-GSM-IP-WIFI, CM2-GSM-PSTN-WIFI and CM2-GSM-GSM-WIFI.
Depending on the model, available features include UDL, ControlPlus / ControlPlus 2, speech dialler, CSL Connected, SMS, 2G/3G/4G and quad band module support, TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP and HTTP, and IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. ATS classes shown in the datasheet include SP2, DP2 and DP4.
