HKC Security has announced upgrades to SW-10270 and SmartLink700, introducing new functionality that gives installers greater flexibility when configuring Technical Zones, while enhancing system performance and supporting the next generation of HKC devices.
The coordinated launch of the SW-10270 v4.4.6 firmware and SmartLink700 v1.7.8 software enhancements to HKC’s Technical Zone functionality enable installers to configure each Technical Zone independently, rather than applying settings globally across the system.
This provides greater control over a wide range of applications, including detection of water, medical alarms, freeze, heat, vape and more, allowing each zone to be tailored to its specific purpose.
Among the new capabilities is the introduction of individual 12-character descriptions for each Technical Zone, making programming more intuitive and providing end-users with clearer information should a technical event occur.
Installers can also configure new per-zone options including activation delays, configurable SIA reporting codes, Pulse and Gross detection, Internal Bell activation and the new Latch Alarm feature, which requires a user to acknowledge and clear critical technical events before returning the system to normal operation. The update also provides greater control over logging and reporting behaviour.
Ian Moore, head of technical at HKC Security, said: “By allowing every Technical Zone to be programmed independently, installers can create more intelligent, application-specific solutions that are easier to commission and deliver a better experience for end-users. These enhancements also provide the foundation for our upcoming Midi sensor range.”
