LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 27, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the
newest member of the NetAXS™ family. The NetAXS Retrofit Board is a
one-of-a-kind access control solution that provides an easy way for users to
migrate their existing N-1000 access control panel for extended functionality
without having to rewire or reprogram. Users who already have a Honeywell
N-1000-III or IV access control board can simply remove that board and put
NetAXS in its place with no programming or rewiring. For an experienced
technician, most installations can be completed in 30 minutes or less with a
minimum number of steps.
The NetAXS Retrofit Board incorporates several features that expedite the
installation:
- Terminal blocks are “plug compatible” with N-1000-III/X and N-1000-IV/X.
Pull a terminal block off N-1000, plug NetAXS right back in.
- The NetAXS Retrofit Board operates exactly like an N-1000* board so
there’s no programming to install new hardware.
- The NetAXS Retrofit Board is the same size as the N-1000 board, so it just
drops right in to the existing enclosure.
The NetAXS™ portfolio is Honeywell’s new hybrid access control panel that
combines flexibility with performance. “This one-of-a-kind access control panel
is designed for users who want to manage their access control system using a Web
browser, a PC, or a combination of both,” said John Smith, product manager,
Honeywell. “NetAXS lets users choose the level of security and functionality
their business requires.”
The NetAXS control panel features built-in Ethernet functionality for faster
processing and communications, and is now available in three options:
- The Retrofit Board ensures future-proof installations for
current N-1000 users. Users who replace their N-1000 panels with NetAXS can
utilize built-in Ethernet functionality, a faster 32-bit processor, FLASH
memory, and expandable inputs and relays.
- The Small Enclosure includes the control panel,
suppressor, transformer and battery.
- The Large Enclosure includes an access control panel,
power supply, distributed relay module and battery backup. It makes access
control simple for first-time installers with pre-wiring, color-coded
removable terminal blocks, power for door locks, multiple grounding points and
large wiring channels.
NetAXS is perfect for small and medium-sized organizations such as
pharmacies, hospitals and medical offices, restaurants and convenience stores.
It’s also ideal for retail establishments and commercial offices, manufacturing,
light industrial facilities and more.
Honeywell will demonstrate the new NetAXS™ Retrofit Board at ISC West 2008 in
April, along with a timed Retrofit Board installation challenge for show
attendees. To learn more, visit www.honeywellaccess.com.

N-1000-III/IV systems running 20mA loop communications, ABA card format, Inputs
15 & 16 and AEP-3/5 boards.
