First Alert VISTAHTKVR-V
iBus to VPLEX Converter Module
Description
The First Alert VISTAHTKVR-V converts the VISTA H3 iBus to allow support of V-Plex serial polling devices. It adds up to 64 V-Plex devices. The VISTA H3 supports up to four (4) modules, one (1) per partition.
The First Alert VISTAHTKVR-V is a wired takeover module designed to connect existing hardwired V-Plex security sensors to a VISTA H3 alarm system. This module allows you to modernize your older, hardwired system by converting wired V-Plex zones into H3 zones. It is a cost-effective solution for integrating legacy equipment with new technology, letting you keep your existing sensors and detectors while upgrading to a modern VISTA hybrid panel.
This module works by communicating with the control panel when wired to the H3 iBus data circuit. It connects using 4-conductor alarm wire. This create a secure and supervised connection with the H3 alarm panel. The VISTAHTKVR-V mounts inside its included cabinet and mounts to the wall or directly to a single or double-gang box.
Whether for residential or small commercial use, the First Alert VISTAHTKVR-V provides a simple way to extend the life of your security system. It’s perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their system while maintaining their investment in existing V-Plex hardwired devices. With this module, you can enhance your security setup without the need for a complete system overhaul.
The VISTAHTKVR-V supports the following V-Plex serial polling devices. It cannot support the older V-Plex dip switch polling devices.
