* NOTE: Does not apply to this product.
** NOTE: The process of 'Chaining' or 'Spoking' multiple switch sensors together is sometimes possible although not recommended by AVTECH. There is no individual sensor alerting when multiple sensors are 'Chained' or 'Spoked' from a single switch sensor channel. If multiple sensors connected to a single switch sensor channel, they should typically ALL be 'Normally Closed'.
*** NOTE: The first year of MSUS is always provided without charge. Optional extensions of the MSUS are available on an optional basis. This line item is the renewal rate for 12 month extensions of this model. As your organization licenses additional units, the per unit cost for this service is reduced. Significant decreases occur after 10 and 20 units . Call a Product Specialist for more information or a quote.
