HAI INTRODUCES ACCESS CONTROL KEYPAD
Keypad adds convenience of security system disarmament and more from outside of the home.
Home Automation,Inc. (HAI), the premier manufacturer of home control products since 1985,
announces the launch of its 54A00-1 HAI Access Control Keypad,
a weatherproof and vandal resistant piezoelectric keypad designed to interface with the HAI
line of automation controllers. The piezoelectric buttons work simply by tapping
the surface, and do not require an actual physical movement. The piezoelectric feature means that
the sleek keys of the keypad can be operated with a bare finger or a snow-covered glove equally well.
The Access Control Keypad offers access to all options provided by
HAI’s Omni II, OmniPro II and Omni LT controllers. Select users of the keypad will be
able to arm and disarm the security system, activate an electric door strike or
magnetic locks, activate lighting, operate a garage door, open/close a security gate,
set off a panic alarm and manage many other functions.
Additionally, the keypad can be mounted anywhere outside of the home
so that a contractor, pool or yard person could have their own individual code
that allows access in hours and days (i.e. no access after 10pm, or while on
vacation or in party mode, or on Sundays) that’s restricted to a specific area
of the home. For added security, use of this individual’s code would trigger
a video camera to record the user’s entry or exit, and their comings and goings
would be tracked in the Omni log.
“With the Access Control Keypad, we’re adding an attractive,
rugged and reliable keypad to the versatile Omni product line.
It is flexible in function and built to last” said Jay McLellan, CEO and Founder of HAI.
The keypad is encased in a stainless steel investment casting that will
complement any décor. It mounts in a single gang switchbox or to the surface
of any wall, indoors or outdoors. The red LED is illuminated when the security
system is armed and the green LED is illuminated when it is disarmed providing
simple reassurance for peace of mind.
