Pyronix PSTN Communication Modem for Pyronix Control Panels
What it Does:
The Pyronix PSTN Communication Modem is an accessory designed for use with Pyronix alarm control panels to enable communication over a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). It allows the control panel to transmit alarm signals and system reports via a standard telephone line to a central monitoring station, user phone numbers, or remote services.
How it Works:
Integration with Control Panels:
The modem connects directly to the Pyronix alarm control panel (such as the Euro or Enforcer) via the system's communication bus.
It uses a traditional telephone line to send and receive data, including alarm signals and system updates.
Alarm Reporting:
In the event of an alarm or system status change, the control panel sends the corresponding signal via the PSTN modem to alert a monitoring station, a user’s phone, or a remote service.
The modem may transmit a voice message (if the Voice Communicator feature is included) or digital alarm signals.
Remote Access and Control:
The modem also enables remote access via a phone line, allowing users to call in and listen to status updates, arm/disarm the system, or check event logs.
Backup Communication:
Often used as a backup or failover communication path in case of failure of other communication modules (such as IP or GPRS), ensuring continuous operation of the alarm system.
Where it is Installed: Near the Control Panel
The PSTN Communication Modem is typically installed near the Pyronix alarm control panel and connected to it via the system’s communication bus.
It requires a nearby telephone line for connectivity.
Premises with Landline Service:
Suitable for premises with an active telephone line, making it ideal for areas without reliable internet or mobile signal.
Key Benefits:
Voice and Digital Alerts: Sends both voice messages and digital signals to a monitoring station or user phone.
Backup Communication: Acts as a reliable communication method when other systems fail (e.g., internet or mobile).
Remote Access: Users can remotely access the alarm system via the phone line for status checks and remote control.
Wide Compatibility: Compatible with Pyronix control panels like Euro and Enforcer, as well as other devices in the Pyronix alarm ecosystem.
Additional Notes:
Compatibility: Designed to work with Pyronix Euro and Enforcer control panels, as well as other Pyronix devices.
PSTN Line Requirement: Requires a traditional landline telephone connection, which may not be available in modern digital or VoIP-based systems.
Limited Features: Compared to IP or GPRS communication modules, PSTN communication may have slower transmission speeds and limited capabilities, especially for advanced features like remote monitoring via smartphone apps.
