French term or phrase: éléctronique déportée
XXX avec électronique déportée: aucune électronique de commande dans le clavier extérieur. Dans le cas d'arrachement du clavier il est impossible de commander l'ouverture de porte par court circuit des fils ou alimentation extérieure etc. ce qui lui confère une sécurité maximum.

Am quite stuck with this...Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
Note that the sg électronique in FR is oftend rendered by 'electronics' = the whole of the elctronic part of the system in EN; you might of course also say electronics nit / module / pack, etc. depending on the precise nature of it in the given context.

'déporté' usually means 'removed from this location' — i.e. 'remote', as far as the keypad unit is concerned. It is in essence the opposite of 'local'

You can sometimes say 'outboard', but I don't think that would work appropriately in the present context given.
