LightSYS™ 2 hybrid security system offers Smartphone App control and communication
flexibility as well as your choice of wired, 2‐way wireless, or RISCO Bus detectors.

home and small business owners

enhance your offering
RISCO Bus saves you cabling and labor costs and enables remote service, as
detectors are installed in series on the system Bus and can be remotely configured
and diagnosed.
Communication flexibility includes IP, GSM/GPRS, PSTN and Long Range Radio, all
installed within the main housing
LightSYS2 provides monitoring and supervision for up to 32 zones. Through its 4‐wire bus it
can support a variety of optional modules including: assorted keypads, proximity key
readers, zone expanders, interactive voice module, 868/433 MHz wireless expansion,
supplement power supply, utility outputs and numerous bus detectors.
LightSYS2 features integrated multiple‐path reporting, including a Cloud channel and
integrated plug in IP module for IP communication, plugin GSM/GPRS modules for
advanced cellular communication all in one box, and an IP/GSM receiver package for
monitoring stations (MS).
LightSYS2 provides a new level of remote service and installation convenience, with unique
remote diagnostic capabilities, Auto‐Install™ technology and bus test which checks
communication quality of the bus and enables pinpointing intermittent wiring faults.
For easy maintenance and scalability LightSYS2 can be upgraded locally or remotely using IP
or Cloud communication.
Connecting the system to the RISCO Cloud enables users to benefit from the smartphone app
and the self‐monitoring feature as well as the capability to control their alarm systems
remotely and the ability to arm and disarm the system via the app.
