Control panel expansion card SATEL KARTA KT-STD-1 (MPN 3488)

The SATEL KARTA KT-STD-1 control panel expansion card is a modular accessory designed to extend the connectivity and interface capabilities of compatible SATEL alarm and access control control panels. Delivered as a plug-in module, this expansion card provides installers and system integrators with an additional channel for input/output or protocol adaptation, enabling flexible system configuration and integration with peripherals.

Advantages

The expansion card offers a compact, modular way to increase a control panel's functionality without replacing the main unit. Its design follows SATEL's compatibility standards, allowing straightforward installation into supported control panel slots. The module helps reduce the need for external adapters by providing native interface or I/O expansion directly on the panel backplane.

Suitable for

• Security system installers adding extra I/O or interface channels.
• Integrators extending alarm panels for third-party device connection.
• Residential and small commercial alarm and access control projects needing modular expansion.

When it may not be suitable

This expansion card is intended for use with compatible SATEL control panels; it is not a standalone controller and will not function without the main control panel. If a system requires a different type of interface or a larger number of channels than this single module provides, a different module or a panel with built-in capabilities may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Form factor: plug-in expansion module designed for SATEL control panel slots
• Function: adds additional interface or input/output channels to the control panel
• Compatibility: intended for compatible SATEL control panels and architectures
• Installation: mounted directly into the control panel expansion slot
• Use environment: indoor installation within alarm and access control enclosures

How to use

Install the KT-STD-1 module into the designated expansion slot of a compatible SATEL control panel following the panel manufacturer's installation instructions. After physical mounting, configure the control panel software to recognise and assign the newly available channels or interface functions. Verify wiring and peripheral connections, then run system diagnostics to confirm proper operation and communication with connected devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your specific SATEL control panel model and available expansion slots.
• Determine whether the module's provided interfaces and number of channels meet your system requirements.
• Check installation space and enclosure access for module insertion and wiring.

Usage recommendations

Handle the module with appropriate electrostatic discharge precautions and ensure power to the control panel is isolated during installation. After installation, update control panel firmware and configuration settings as required to enable the added functions and to maintain system stability.
