Documentation
The Alarmanlagenmanager user guide – from your first sign-in to AI-powered automation. It covers Lupus Lupusec panels (XT1–XT4) and Climax VESTA (including Blaupunkt and Egardia); wherever the two families differ, it says so explicitly – in depth in the chapter Lupus and VESTA compared.
