iBridge®IBR-ITAB Security System

The IBR-ITAB iBridge®Touch
Screen Tablet Keypad is a "smart"
user-friendly, interactive menu-driven Z-
Wave enabled tablet keypad designed
for your Napco control panel. Its inter-
active touch screen will not only display
the status of your system, but will also
give you step-by-step instructions to
guide you through all operations.
This booklet contains important
information about the operation of your
system with the IBR-ITAB keypad; read
it carefully and keep it handy for future
reference. Check the Glossary for terms
that may be unfamiliar to you.
You'll probably find subjects or
screens mentioned in this booklet that
do not apply to your system. Napco key-
pads and control panels have such a
wide variety of features that few security
systems, if any, will ever need them all.
Your alarm professional has chosen
appropriate features for your particular
needs.
Regardless of how your system has
been configured, rest assured that it has
been carefully designed and engineered
to the highest industry standards. To
assure optimum safety and security,
familiarize yourself with this equipment.
Periodically check its condition and state
of readiness by testing it at least once a
week in both the ac/battery and battery-
only modes (ask your alarm professional
how to make these tests).
INTRODUCTION
