Visonic Wireless Sensors and Receivers with Comfort

[ident]

Visonic has a range of wireless sensors and receivers called PowerCode which can be used with Comfort.

The MCR304 is a 4 channel receiver and MCR308 is an 8 channel wireless receiver which can be hardwired to 4 and 8 zone inputs in Comfort respectively, see http://www.visonic.com/Products/Wireless...-receivers

They have a wide range of wireless transmitters which can be used with the receivers

I used these to retrofit some window sensors and the Shed - they work really well.

Take note though - you will actually use up more than just the 4 and 8 inputs respectively. Eg you will want one to show the low battery warning, one to show if someone is jamming etc there are also a cpl of other options if I recall.

Me too. Worked very well.

What about 2-way keyfobs? For that I need both inputs and outputs. Does visonic have transmitter with inputs and outputs?

I dont think there are such things as 2 way keyfobs
The keyfob just sends a signal to arm or disarm

Comfort will indicate armed or disarmed on the keypads, or iphone etc

Hey Tan,
I think you are little bit confused of keyfob, It sends only one signal.

[Tan121]

I am not sure that I understood wrong.
Look at Two-way Keyfob MCT-237.
It says \"two way\" 6-button???

This device may only be Compatible with PowerMaxPro, PowerMaxComplete and PowerMaxExpress
control panels - as it states (not Comfort).

I have an old Visonic receiver and it does not have any mechanism to take and input to act as \'status\' to feed this back to the keyfob

Hi Ident
This looks good as i already have some Visonic detectors.

Does the Visonic Receiver need the relay board to connect to the zones on comfort (its described as an open collector to dry contact adapter)?
The spec says the the receiver outputs are open collector type and, as i don\'t have any add on cards for comfort for digital inputs, i wasn\'t too sure.

Cheers

Open collector outputs can be connected directly to Comfort Inputs
You do not need any relay
