The GeoHTW8 is a 8-zone hardwired-to-wireless GeoSeries® takeover module used to retrofit existing systems hardwired sensors into the GeoAlarm security system. The GeoHTW8 takeover 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 GeoHTW8, users can convert their traditional hardwired sensors into a modern, wireless system with the advanced features.
One of the standout features of the GeoAlarm GeoHTW8 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 GeoHTW8 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) GeoHTW8 Takeover Modules are allowed for GeoAlarm Panel. However, for installations conforming to UL or ETL requirements, only one zone per GeoHTW8 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 GeoHTW8.
In addition to its practical benefits, the GeoAlarm GeoHTW8 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 GeoHTW8, users can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a modern, wireless security system while preserving the investment in their existing hardwired sensors.
