Overview
The Dahua ARK50C-R is a wired keypad with a 128 x 64 LCD screen for Dahua wired alarm control panels. It connects over RS-485 and is used to arm and disarm the system, program the panel and check its status, and the R version adds a 13.56 MHz IC card reader. It is mounted at the entry point of an office, bank, shop or warehouse protected by a Dahua ARC2 series panel, so staff can disarm with a card instead of sharing codes while the installer programs the panel from the keypad itself.
Is it right for you?
- It suits the Dahua ARC2008C-V3 and ARC2016C-V3 wired panels, which list the DHI-ARK50C-R and support up to 32 keypads.
- It suits a place where staff should arm and disarm by card rather than shared codes, with up to 32 cards.
- For a hybrid panel such as the ARC3808H, the ARK32C-RW2 is the matching keypad.
