Overview
About the Installation Manual
This Installation Manual is to describe the Pegasus™ NX features, technical specifications, and installation instructions
including components description, mounting, and wiring.
What is Pegasus™ NX?
The Pegasus™ NX Alarm Panel Communicator is an extremely compact, robust device in terms of communication
interface for alarm panels. It brings the most innovative and reliable technologies for data communication to the Fire and
Intrusion Alarm Panels prepared to operate only with conventional telephone lines.
The device is fully compatiable with alarm panels that communicate using the contact ID protocol and provides high
speed, reliable and low cost communication. It is like a modem attached to any alarm system that passes digital
information to a 24/7 alarm receiving center which is able to respond to the received signal.
The device acts as a communicator between your alarm panel and the monitoring station. Event transmission is possible
via Ethernet network TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, and/or GPRS. The device is interfaced between the alarm panel and the telephone
line (optional). When the device is ON (active), it enters the Ethernet TCP/IP network (Internet/Intranet), wireless
network (Wi-Fi) and GSM operator network via GPRS (data channel) to establish connection with the Zeus™ server,
and thus creates an online communication channel between the monitored client and the alarm monitoring company.
Pegasus™ NX transmits all events received from an alarm panel (contact ID protocol) to the Zeus™ server. All
information transmitted by the device are cryptographed (AES Rijndael, 128 bits), and thus their top confidentiality is
assured.
The Zeus™ server is a multi-task software that works as a virtual receiver which receives all events transmitted by the
device, and then transfers them to the monitoring software as a conventional receiver (it simulates the communication
protocol of receiver, such as Ademco-685, Sur-Gard, Domus-4, Silent Knight (protocol ITI) and CM Plus. It also carries
important system task management, checks communication with the device (online or offline) constantly, presence of
2

telephone line at client etc. Any monitoring software that communicates with receivers: Ademco-685, Sur-Gard, or CM
Plus can be used.
Transmission of real time alarm panel events via Wi-Fi network is possible, if other interfaces are failed or when the
preferred interface is Wi-Fi. Alteration of the Pegasus™ NX configuration and upgrade of its firmware (software) is
possible remotely via the secured Wi-Fi network (WPA or WPA2). The device contains an additional LED that acts as
Wi-Fi indicator. You can also receive debug messages through Wi-Fi.

Pegasus™ NX Features
Built-in telephone line cut off detector that enables
the device to detect telephone line cut off and
send occurrences to the Zeus™ server.
Built-in alarm panel cut off detector that enables
the device to detect alarm panel cut off and send
occurrences to the Zeus™ server.
Periodically tests the regular service availability on
the monitored clients telephone line (detects fixed
telephone service interruption situations in case of
the monitored clients lack of payment).
Permits testing the alarm panel proper
functioning and constant monitoring of the
physical connection with the alarm panel, and
thus acts as an anti-sabotage resource.
Built-in one programmable SPDT relay output that
can be used for various crucial operations. For
example, switching a high current powered bell or
siren.
SPDT relay refers to Single Pull Double Throw
electric or electronic switching device.
This SPDT relay allows electrical signals, digital or
analog, to switch from a single input to one of two
outputs.
Built-in three programmable Open Collector
(O.C.) outputs. These open collector outputs are
very fast, low powered, solid-state switches.
These programmable open collector outupts can
be used to activate a buzzer or strobe light,
open or close doors etc. When any of the three
on board programmable open collector output
activates, Pegasus™NX triggers any device
connected to it.
Built-in two zones which are extended to four
zone inputs. You can connect sensors or
detectors to these zones.
The device supports zone input wiring in both
single-mode and double-mode. A sensor or
detector can be connected in nine different ways.
Compatible with any alarm panel that follows
the Contact ID Protocol. Some well known alarm
panels that work on the Contact ID Protocol and
thus fully compatible with the device are:
Paradox, Honeywell Ademco, Bosch, Napco,
Inhep, DSC, Logic, FBII, Inovanet, Rokonet, etc
4

11
Built-in dual sim card holder. The dual sim card
holder allows you to insert two sim cards. You can
use two sim cards from the same or different
service providers (s).
Uses cryptographic data transmission by AES
(Rijndael) 128/256 bits encryption, and thus
secures your data from spying.
Can be used as the first or second communication
channel for any alarm panel that follows Amdeco
Contact ID Protocol. Generally, the device waits
for events from alarm panel. If events are
received, the device validates the event by
checking its Message Type, Event Qualifier and
CRC. If events are valid, then the device operates
in two types of communication mode: 1st
communication path and 2nd communication
path.
Built-in the SMS ECO feature. You can send a
blank SMS to the offine device using the
configured phone number to check if it is
operative or not. The device reverts back with an
ECO SMS related to its current status.
Sample ECO SMS
PEGASUS NX INF: PEGASUS OFFLINE, CURRENT
INTERFACE: GPRS, PHONE LINE: CUT OFF, PNR:
PRESEND, GSM SIGNAL: 26, JAMMER: OPERATIVE,
ETH LINK: DOWN, WIFI: SSID CONNECTED
Supports Wi-Fi and thus acts as a wireless alarm
panel communicator. The Wi-Fi competence is
one of the revolutionary features incorporated in
the device. Here, Wi-Fi is incorporated to give you
an wireless communication option for having a
security system monitored by a central station.
Allows the modification of its configuration and
upgrade of its firmware (software) remotely via
Internet. The remote configuration update allows
the device to function accurately and helps to fix
bugs that were present in the previous version. It
also adds new features and updates.
Eliminates long distance phone call expenses,
and thus acts as an inexpensive cost saving
resource. The monitored client can be anywhere
in the world and is never going to suffer due to
increase in the communication expenditures.
Have two ways out that can be controlled
remotely, and thus makes it possible to Arm and
Disarm the alarm panel without using the
telephone line, depending on the resource being
available on different alarm panels.
Built-in a tamper switch which helps in tamper
detection. The tamper switch is connected to a
digital input configured to generate an interrupt
every time its status changes. The unauthorized
opening of the cover of the device results in the
tamper switch output.
Can work efficiently with both fixed/static or
dynamic IP (DHCP) addressing. Fixed/Static IP
addressing is for one customer on one IP
address, whereas the Dynamic IP addressing
assigns a different IP address each time the ISP
customer logs on to their system.
Built-in a battery compartment containing a 3.7V
Lithium-Polymer 2000mAh rechargeable battery
which provides power to the device in absence of
the main power supply.
Can withstand double monitoring. You can
configure both the Primary and Secondary
Zeus™ Server settings using the Pegasus™
Studio - Configuration Tool.

12
Offers possibility to communicate with both the
Primary and Secondary Zeus™ Servers using
different interfaces. This feature makes the device
more robust and dependable as an alarm panel
communicator. You can configure different
interfaces as per your preference for both the
Primary and Secondary Zeus™ Servers.
Capable of sending user friendly customized
messages related to Alarm Panel Events and
Pegasus™ Occurrences to the configured
phone numbers. Maximum four phone numbers
can be configured per Alarm Panel Event or
Pegasus™ Occurrence.
Built-in GSM Jammer. GSM Jammer when
enabled allows you to identify active jamming of
the GSM/GPRS network. This feature helps to
prevent intruders that use GSM Jammers to
interfere with the normal network operation of the
device.
Offers FOTA capability, firmware updates are
issued directly over-the–air from the GSM
service provider to the GSM modem.
Previously, firmware updates to the GSM
modem required the help of specific service
center. Another method of receiving updates has
been by connecting the modem via a cable to a
PC. Both of these methods were considered
inconvenient by consumers and also relied on
consumers actively seeking out updates.
Therefore, 3i-Corporation® have now adopted
FOTA technology to update the GSM modem.
Allows device configuration through Ethernet.
