With the DMP Tech APP, there's no need to program the same settings on every system. Instead, save time and money with the Tech APP's Automatic Panel Programming, and when more customized programming is necessary, the app also has full panel programming capabilities. DMP's Tech APP gives service installers a dynamic resource at their fingertips for quick installs. It's all there, including instant access to documentation, troubleshooting information, zone statuses, Wi-Fi signal strength, cellular-device activation and more. The App requires a compatible control panel and a Dealer Admin login. As a dealer, you have the ability to limit your technicians' system access. This allows you to give your technicians the tools they need, only when they need it. The DMP Tech APP lets you add and modify the following on the XTLplus, XT Series & XR Series Panels. - Customers - App Users - System Users - Systems - Sensors - Devices - Outputs - Full Programming - Remote Firmware Updates - System Defaults (XTLplus, XT30 and XT50)
