PHW8RETRO - Napco Prima 8-Zone Hardwired Takeover Module
Napco PHW8RETRO Product Description:
The Napco Prima PHW8RETRO is a 8-zone hardwired takeover module used to retrofit existing systems hardwired sensors into the Napco Prima security system. The PHW8RETRO module is ideal for those looking to upgrade their current security setup without the hassle and expense of completely overhauling their existing infrastructure. By utilizing the PHW8RETRO, users can convert their traditional hardwired sensors into a modern, wireless system with the advanced features.
One of the standout features of the Napco Prima PHW8RETRO is its ability to save both time and money during the upgrade process. Instead of replacing all existing sensors, which can be costly and labor-intensive, the PHW8RETRO allows for a straightforward transition to a wireless setup. This not only reduces installation time but also minimizes disruption to the home or business environment. The device is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts.
Up to four (4) PHW8RETRO Takeover Modules are allowed for Prima Panel. However, for installations conforming to UL or ETL requirements, only one zone per PHW8RETRO Takeover Module can be designated as either a Fire or CO zone, and only one 4-wire smoke detector or CO detector may be added to that single zone on the PHW8RETRO.
In addition to its practical benefits, the Napco Prima PHW8RETRO maintains the high standards of security and reliability that users expect from Napco products. It ensures that all integrated sensors continue to function optimally, providing robust protection against potential threats. With the PRETROFIT, users can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a modern, wireless security system while preserving the investment in their existing hardwired sensors.
Product Features:
- Ideal for retrofitting existing systems hardwire sensors
- Converts up to 8 wired zones into 8 supervised wireless zones
- Status LED through housing cover
- Up to 4 retrofits (32 wired zones max.) are allowed by Prima panel
