Overview
The Dahua ARC2008C-V3 is a wired intrusion alarm control panel in a metal wall-mount enclosure. It has 8 local zones and 4 outputs on board and grows through RS-485 expansion modules, keypads and communication modules. It is built for a professionally installed alarm in a bank, ATM, jewellery shop, office, school or warehouse that reports to a central monitoring station and needs the reliability of wired detectors.
Is it right for you?
- It suits a fully wired installation with up to 72 zones, reporting to a monitoring station by Contact ID (CID).
- If you need more zones on the main board, the ARC2016C-V3 has 16 and uses the same keypads, modules and communicators.
- If part of the building needs wireless detectors, the ARC3808H hybrid panel suits better.
- Indoor use, -10 to 55 °C.
Key features
- 8 local inputs, expandable to 72, supporting NO and NC detectors, detector tamper, short circuit and mask alarms.
- 4 outputs, expandable to 84, with forced start, auto control and alarm linkage.
- Instant, delayed and 24-hour silent zone types; up to 8 subsystems.
- Two Ethernet ports and 1 telephone line (PSTN) with Contact ID reporting to 3 alarm receiving centres.
- Up to 32 LCD keypads and 32 ARA24-W2 keyfobs; 64 network users and 200 keypad users; arming by keypad, keyfob, IC card, web or platform.
- 20,000 entry log; configuration by keypad or web; remote update; settings kept through a power cut.
- Two RS-485 buses (keypads, expansion modules and a printer), 1 RS-232 port, controller and housing tamper.
- Mains powered at 100 to 240 V AC, 5 W idle and 60 W at full load, with a port for a 12 V 7 Ah backup battery and a 12 V DC, 1 A auxiliary output for detectors.
What else you need
A 12 V 7 Ah backup battery for standby, a keypad (DHI-ARK50C or ARK50C-R), wired detectors and a siren. Add ARM808-RS input and ARM708-RS output modules (up to 8 of each) as the building grows, and the ARA58-G-EN 2G or ARA58-F-EN 4G module for mobile reporting. Dahua also lists the ARA58-P PSTN module and ARM982-P and ARM2C0-P-W expansion modules (up to 16).
Installation
An alarm installer should fit it. The enclosure is wall mounted indoors, wired to mains and the backup battery, the RS-485 bus for keypads and modules, the detector zones, outputs and siren, then programmed from the keypad or the web interface and registered with the monitoring station.
Software and licences
Configuration is by keypad or web browser, with remote updates. Interface languages are English, Russian, Latin American Spanish and Arabic.
Before you buy
- The 12 V 7 Ah backup battery is a separate purchase.
- Cellular reporting needs the ARA58-G-EN or ARA58-F-EN module and a SIM card.
- Indoor use only.
