Alphanumeric and Fixed Display Touchpads

Alphanumeric touchpads are mounted on a wall and provide system information by LEDs and/or displaying text messages.

Wireless Handheld Touchpad

This touchpad can be carried from room to room and used to control the system from many loca- tions on site.

Keychain Touchpads

Keychain touchpads are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. They are wireless and can be carried off-site in a purse or pocket. They can even be programmed to operate a gate, garage door, or activate a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm.

Touchtone Phones

Your system can be set up for system operation from a touchtone phone on- or off-site. This includes arming and disarming, plus system features such as checking the system status and turn- ing on and off lights.

Instructing the System

Most of your instructions for the system consist of this basic pattern:

Command + Access Code

Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your security system. Before the system will process most commands, users are required to enter a 4-digit access code.

Keychain touchpads do not require an access code, but are usually kept in an individual’s pocket or purse.

If you would rather use an actual key (Figure 3) to arm and disarm the system, your security dealer can install a special key and keyswitch in your home.

One of the standout features of the Concord 4 is its efficiency. With a thermal efficiency rate exceeding 60%, it represents a significant advancement in power generation technology. This high efficiency is achieved through advanced aerodynamics in the turbine blades, optimized combustion processes, and state-of-the-art materials that withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. As a result, operators can expect lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, ultimately contributing to a cleaner environment.

The Concord 4 utilizes advanced combustor technology that supports a wide range of fuels, including natural gas, biogas, and liquid fuels. This flexibility ensures that operators can adapt to changing market conditions and regulatory environments while maintaining operational efficiency. Furthermore, the turbine's low emissions profile is a critical advantage in today's environmentally conscious landscape, allowing plants to comply with stringent regulatory standards.

Another key characteristic of the GE Concord 4 is its modular design, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. The turbine's key components can be accessed and serviced efficiently, ensuring that power plants can operate continuously without significant interruptions. This design philosophy extends to the overall lifecycle of the turbine, as longer intervals between maintenance contribute to lower operating costs.

The Concord 4 is equipped with advanced digital technologies that enhance performance monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities. Smart sensors and analytics tools provide real-time data on the turbine’s performance, enabling operators to make informed decisions and optimize operations. This digital integration not only improves reliability but also helps in planning maintenance activities more effectively, reducing operational risks.

In summary, the GE Concord 4 gas turbine stands out for its exceptional efficiency, fuel flexibility, and innovative design. Enhanced by digital technologies, it delivers powerful performance while minimizing environmental impact. This combination of features makes it an ideal choice for energy producers looking to meet both economic and environmental goals in an increasingly competitive market. With the Concord 4, GE continues its legacy of engineering excellence in the field of power generation.
