The RISCO RW432M08000 LightSYS Air Panel is a fully wireless alarm control panel supporting up to 128 zones, with built-in IP and Wi-Fi communication modules and optional 2G/4G GSM connectivity. It’s designed as a wire-free installation from the ground up — no wired zone expanders, no repeaters required for most installations — built for both residential and commercial intrusion alarm systems.
Where older hybrid panels mix wired and wireless zones, the RISCO RW432M08000 runs on RISCO’s enhanced 868.65MHz RF protocol throughout, giving installers a full-scale system without running cable to every detector. That matters for retrofits and commercial fit-outs in Kenya where rewiring an occupied building isn’t practical.

How installers use the RISCO RW432M08000
The panel’s programming options cover local keypad entry, RISCO’s configuration software (locally or remotely), and the HandyApp mobile configurator — letting installers set up or adjust a system without a laptop on-site for every visit. Once running, the panel supports SMS-based remote operation and connects to RISCO Cloud through its built-in IP or Wi-Fi module, giving end users the iRISCO app for arming, disarming, and event notifications from a phone.
With up to 32 partitions, the RISCO RW432M08000 covers multi-tenant or multi-zone sites — a commercial building with several independently-alarmed offices, or a residential compound with separate zones for the main house, staff quarters, and perimeter — from a single panel rather than installing separate systems per zone.
Deployment scenarios in Kenya
Residential retrofits Homes in Nairobi or Nakuru adding intrusion detection to an already-finished house benefit from the panel’s fully wireless zone support — no chasing walls or running cable through existing finishes to add door contacts, PIR sensors, or glass-break detectors.
Commercial and multi-tenant buildings Office buildings or mixed-use commercial sites use the 32-partition capacity to run independently-armed zones per tenant or department from one central panel, with up to 128 zones covering a large footprint.
Sites requiring remote monitoring The built-in IP and Wi-Fi modules, combined with optional 4G, give installers flexible connectivity options for connecting to a monitoring station or the RISCO Cloud platform, useful where a site has unreliable fixed-line internet and needs a cellular fallback.
Frequently asked questions
