Paradox DigiPlex Evo ZX8 8 Zone Expander Module

This compact, reliable expansion module adds 8 additional hardwired zones to your Paradox Digiplex EVO security system (EVO48, EVO96, EVO192, EVOHD), allowing seamless integration of more detectors, contacts, glass breaks, or other wired devices. It connects directly to the panel's 4-wire combus, providing supervised inputs and basic output control—perfect for growing large-scale or multi-area installations.

Key Features:

• Adds 8 Hardwired Zones — Interface for additional wired detection devices (supports standard EOL/tamper resistors; some panels allow zone doubling/ATZ for extra capacity)
• 1 Programmable Output (PGM) — 50mA onboard PGM for low-power triggers like relays, LEDs, or small sirens
• Tamper Flexibility — Use one zone input (typically Z1 or configurable) as an anti-tamper switch for the module enclosure
• Selectable Input Resistors — Compatible with various EOL and tamper configurations for secure wiring
• Supervised & Reliable — Full bus supervision, low current draw, and easy module scanning/programming via the panel or WinLoad software
• Broad Compatibility — Works with Digiplex EVO series, Spectra SP (V2.0+), Magellan MG (MG5000/MG5050 V2.0+), E Series, and legacy Digiplex panels
• Multiple Modules — Supports several ZX8 units per system (panel-dependent, e.g., up to 3+ on many setups)

Quick Specs:

• Model: ZX8 (formerly APR-ZX8; part references like PA5380 in some kits, but standard ZX8 for EVO)
• Zones Added: 8 hardwired inputs
• PGM Output: 1 × 50mA
• Power: 12–16VDC from panel bus (~28mA max consumption)
• Connection: 4-wire combus (standard EVO bus)
• Operating Temp: -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to +122°F)
• Dimensions: Compact PCB (approx. 150 × 80 × 26mm typical)
• Extras: EN50131 Grade 2 compliant in supported configurations, in-field compatible with WinLoad

Ideal for expanding zone coverage in EVO-based systems—whether adding perimeter sensors, interior zones, or integrating legacy wiring. Straightforward installation, proven reliability, and scalable design.
