PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Introduction
The ZX82, 8-zone Expansion Module, provides 8 zones input expansion to
Paradox panels; connects on the keypad bus of EVO, Spectra, or MG panels. The ZX82 comes with its own tamper-proof enclosure and provides Zone Status LED indicators as well as Power and Data.
Compatibility
- All Paradox control panels v6.80 or higher
- BabyWare v5.1 and higher
- Infield v5.1 and higher
Connections
Connect the four bus terminals labeled + – GRN YEL of the module to the corresponding terminals on the control panel as shown.
To enable anti-tamper switch input on EVO, use input terminal Z8 and enable section [001] option [1].
To enable anti-tamper switch input on MG/SP, use input terminal Z1 and enable section [706] option [4] for panel +1, option [5] for panel +9 and option [6] for panel +17.

Both zones connected to this input are Closed | Any Zone connected to this input is Opened / Tamper |
*If control panel has an AC Loss all LEDs are turned off.
PROGRAMMING
Programming EVO
- Enter section [4003].
- Enter the eight-digit module serial number.
- Enter the three-digit module section number.
Module Tamper on Input-8
- Section 001 – Bit 1, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled
Note: If this option is enable the on-board tamper is disabled.
Input Speed (Base Time Selection)*
[002]-[016] Even Numbered
(Default = all inputs @ 600ms)
Even numbered sections represent inputs terminals Z1 to Z8. Using [
] and [
] keys. Select a Base Time value from 000 to 002. Press [ENTER].
- 000= Input Speed is X by 15 milliseconds
- 001= Input Speed is X by 1 second
- 002= Input Speed is X by 1 minute
Input Speed (Time Value)*
- [003]-[017] Odd Numbered
Odd-numbered sections represent inputs Z1 to Z8. Enter a 3-digit decimal time value (000 to 255). Multiply by the Input Speed.
* Can only be programmed via a keypad.
