4 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
1 INTRODUCTION
Paradox Security Systems has once again redefined the
boundaries of the security industry and is proud to introduce the
Digiplex Control Panel. A new generation in control panel
technology, the Digiplex Control Panel uses a quad-wire
communication bus that provides power and two-way
communication for up to 95 modules (keypads, motion detectors,
expansion modules, etc.). This, combined with four true partitions,
event call direction and the zone numbering feature, simplifies the
task of installing or making changes to your security system. The
innovative new programming method makes programming the
control panel logical and much simpler to execute. This new
generation of control panels offers increased capabilities with
countless new features without compromising its user-friendliness.
If anything, these new control panels are easier to use and easier
to install, making the Digiplex Control Panel the ultimate in reliable
security protection.
1.1 FEATURES
• Four-wire Communication Bus:
u Provides power and two-way communication to all
modules connected to the bus.
u 95 module support
u All bus modules have Plug and Play capability
u Connect modules up to 3000ft (914m) from the
control panel.
u Full System Supervision.
• 48 fully programmable zones
• 8 independent keyswitch zones (does not use any of the 48
zones)
• 4 on-board hardwired input terminals for use with non-bus
detection devices (expandable to 48).
• 4 True Partitions:
Most features and options in the Digiplex System can be
independently set for each partition such as event
reporting, entry/exit delay, bell squawk, quick arming,
panics and many more. All zones, keyswitches, user
codes and keypads are assigned to specific partitions,
making this a true partitioned system.
• 95 User Codes, 1 Installer and 1 System Master
• Up to 4 fully programmable outputs (PGMs) are available.
PGM1 can be set as a two-wire smoke detector input. Optional
5A relay also available.
• Simple, direct and logical programming
• Event Call Direction:
The Digiplex Control Panel events are divided into three
event groups for each partition and two system event
groups. Each event group can be programmed with a
separate dialing sequence for each partition.
