3 INSTALLATION
3.1 LOCATION& MOUNTING
Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting
studs into the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet
and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board
into the back of the cabinet. Select an installation site that is not
easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 2" around the
panel box to permit adequate ventilation and heat dissipation. The
installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground
connection and telephone line connection.
3.2 EARTHGROUND
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control
panel to the cabinet and cold water pipe or grounding rod as per
local electrical codes.
For maximum lightning protection, use separate earth
grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in
Figure 3-3 on page 8.
3.3 AC POWER
Use a 16.5VAC (50/60Hz) transformer with a minimum 20VA rating
to provide sufficient AC power. For increased power you can use a
transformer with a 40VA rating. For UL Listed systems, you can
use model #BE156240CAA. For CSA listed systems, use model
#BE116240AAA. Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power
the transformer. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 3-3
on page 8.
Do not connect the transformer or the backup battery
until all wiring is completed.
3.4 BACKUPBATTERY
In order to provide power during power loss, connect a 12VDC 4Ah
rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery (YUASA model
#NP7-12 recommended) as shown in Figure 3-3 on page 8.
Connect the backup battery after applying AC power. When
installing, verify proper polarity, as reversed connections will blow
the battery fuse. For information on how to set the Battery Charge
Current to either 350mA or 700mA, please refer to section 13.3 of
this manual
3.4.1 Battery Test
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every
64 seconds. If the battery is disconnected, if its capacity is too low
or if the battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts or less when there is no
AC, the “Battery Trouble” message will appear in the Trouble
Display. At 8.5 volts, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.
3.5 AUXILIARYPOWERTERMINALS
You can use the auxiliary power supply to power the motion
detectors, keypads and other accessories in your security system.
A fuseless circuit protects the auxiliary output against current
overload and automatically shuts down if the current exceeds 1.1A.
Auxiliary power will resume once the overload condition has
restored. For details on available output power, please refer to
Figure 3-3 on page 8. For more information on how to calculate
system consumption, refer to Calculating Power Requirements on
page9.
3.6 TELEPHONELINECONNECTION
Connect the incoming telephone company wires into the TIP and
RING connections of the control panel. Then run the wires from T1
and R1 to the telephone system as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1: Telephone Line Connections
3.7 BELL/SIRENOUTPUT
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells and/or other warning
devices that require a steady voltage output during an alarm. The
bell output supplies 12VDC upon alarm and can support two 20-
watt or two 30-watt sirens. The bell output uses a fuseless circuit
and will automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. If the
load on the BELL terminals returns to normal (≤3A), the control
panel will re-instate power to the BELL terminals. When connecting
sirens, please verify correct polarity as shown in Figure 3-2. Please
note that PGM5 is rated at 5A and can be used to power bells and/
or other warning devices (see Figure 3-2: Bell/Siren)by
programming it as a bell/siren output. Please refer to
Programmable Outputs in section 11.
When the bell/siren output is not used, the “Bell
Absent” message will appear in the Trouble Display.
To avoid this, connect a 1kΩΩ resistor across the bell
output.

DIGIPLEX CONTROLPANEL9
3.8 CALCULATINGPOWERREQUIREMENTS
STEP 1: Using Table1: Power Unit Consumption Table, calculate the total number of power units (PU) required by each
device, module, and accessory in the system. Please take into account devices connected to the control panel’s
PGM outputs. Since the BELL output has its own power supply, do not include the sirens connected to it in the
calculation.
STEP 2: If the value recorded in box “A” is less than the value in box “B”, go to step 3. If the value is greater, you will require an
external power supply (see Figure 3-5 on page 10) to provide the additional power needed. Proceed with step 3 and
refer to the example in Figure 3-4 on page 10.
STEP 3: Due to the degradation of a power signal over long distances, EACH length or run of wire in the system can
support only a specific number of power units (PU). Using Table2: Power Unit (PU) Limitations For Each Run of Wire,
determine how many power units each length of wire can support. Please note that the total number of power units
(PU) can never surpass the value in box “B”.

10 REFERENCE& INSTALLATIONMANUAL
Figure 3-4: Sample Power Requirement Calculations
If in the above example you were to add an LCD Keypad (80PU) to
the 100 foot or 300 foot wire, you would not exceed the wire’s limit.
Although, adding the LCD Keypad to the 1,000 foot wire would
exceed the wire’s limits, thereby causing devices to function at
decreased capacity.
Figure 3-5: External Power Supply Connections
Do not use the same transformer for the control panel and the external power supplies. Modules should never be
installed more than 3,000 feet (914m) from the control panel.
3.9 PROGRAMMABLEOUTPUTS
The Digiplex Control Panel comes standard with PGM1 and
PGM2. PGM3 to PGM5 are optional. When a specific event or
condition occurs in the system, a PGM can be programmed to
reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close garage

DIGIPLEX CONTROLPANEL11
doors and much more. For details on how to program the PGMs,
refer to section 11.
PGM1 provides a maximum 100mA output, PGM2 to PGM4
provide a maximum 50mA output and PGM5 is a relay output that
provides a maximum of 5A. If the current draw on the PGM is to
exceed the current output, we recommend the use of a relay as
shownin Figure 3-6. PGM1 to PGM4 are normally open outputs
and PGM5 is a normally open or normally closed 5A relay. Also,
note that PGM1 can be programmed as a 2-wire smoke detector
input. For more information, refer to section 3.15.1 and section
11.3 of this manual.
Figure 3-6: PGM Relay Output
3.10 BUSZONECONNECTIONS
The bus is a 4-wire communication bus that provides power and
two-way communication between the control panel and all modules
connected to it. All bus detectors, keypads and Digiplex modules
are connected to the bus, which can support up to 95 modules.
Connect the four terminals labeled RED, BLK, GRN and YEL of
each detector, keypad or module to the corresponding terminals of
the control panel as shown in Figure 3-3 on page 8. Please note
that all bus modules can be connected in a star and/or daisy chain
configuration. The final device on the communication bus should
not be more than 3000ft (914m) from the control panel. For
information on how to assign a detection device to a zone in the
control panel, please refer to Zone Programming on page16.
Before connecting a bus module to the control panel,
shutdown the control panel by removing AC and
battery power.
3.11 SINGLEZONECONNECTIONS
In addition to the bus, the Digiplex Control Panel includes four
hardwired input terminals for use with traditional hardwired (non-
bus) door contacts, smoke detectors and/or detectors. The control
panel also supports one on-board Expansion Module, the ZX4. The
ZX4 will add four hardwired input terminals to the control panel.
The ZX1 or ZX8 Zone Expansion Bus Modules can provide one or
eight additional hardwired input terminals when connected to the
bus. Devices connected to hardwired input terminals must be
assigned to a zone and the zone's parameters must be defined.
Please refer to Zone Programming on page16 for more
information. Figure 3-7 demonstrates single zone (ATZ disabled)
hardwire input terminal connections recognized by the Digiplex
system. For UL listed installations, use EOL resistor part
#2011002000.
Figure 3-7: Single Zone Input Connections

12 REFERENCE& INSTALLATIONMANUAL
3.12 DOUBLEZONECONNECTIONS
Enabling the ATZ feature (see section 5.7) allows you to install two
detection devices per input terminal. The ATZ feature is a software
oriented feature. Simply connect the devices as shown in Figure 3-
8. Devices connected to input terminals must be assigned to a
zone and the zone's parameters must be defined. Please refer to
Zone Programming on page16 for more information. For UL listed
installations, use EOL resistor part #2011002000.
Figure 3-8: Double Zone Connections
3.13 KEYPAD ZONECONNECTIONS
Each keypad has one hardwired input terminal allowing you to
connect a detector or door contact directly to the keypad. For
example, a door contact located at the entry point of an
establishment can be wired directly to the input terminal of the
entry point keypad instead of all the way to the control panel.
Even with the ATZ feature enabled in the control
panel, only one device can be connected to the
keypad’s hardwired input terminal. Tamper is not
recognized on keypad zones. The keypad zone follows
the control panel’s EOL definition.
A device connected to the keypad’s input terminal must be
assigned to a zone in the control panel and the zone’s parameters
must be defined (see Zone Programming on page16). The keypad
will communicate the status of the zone to the control panel via the
communication bus. The detection device is connected as shown
in Figure 3-3 on page 8.
3.14 KEYSWITCH CONNECTIONS
Connect the keyswitches to the keypad, control panel, or Zone
Expansion Module's hardwired input terminals as shown in Figure
3-9. Once a keyswitch is connected, it must be assigned a
keyswitch zone and its parameters must be defined as described in
Keyswitch Programming on page21.
Figure 3-9: Keyswitch Connections
3.15 FIRECIRCUITS
Connect the smoke detectors used in the security system using
any of the following methods. Smoke detectors connected to the
control panel or zone expansion input terminals must be assigned
to a zone in the control panel and the zone's parameters must be
defined as a Fire Zone. For more details, refer to Zone
Programming on page16.
3.15.1 Smoke Detector Installation (2-Wire)
PGM1 can be defined as a 2-wire smoke detector input (see
section 11.3) enabling smoke detectors to be connected as shown
in Figure 3-10 on page 13. Fire Zones must use a 1kΩEOL
resistor. If there is a line short or if the smoke detector becomes
active, whether the system is armed or disarmed, the control panel
will generate an alarm. If the line is open, the “Zone Fault” trouble
indication will appear in the Trouble Display and will transmit the
appropriate report code to the central station (if programmed).
3.15.2 ESL CleanMeTM Installation
The Digiplex control panel supports the use of ESL smoke
detectors that have the CleanMeTM feature. The ESL smoke
detectors are connected exactly like standard smoke detectors as

DIGIPLEX CONTROLPANEL13
shown in Figure 3-10. Please note that you should avoid
connecting more than 20 ESL smoke detectors. When an ESL
smoke detector sends a CleanMeTM signal, the control panel will
generate a Zone Fault trouble and if programmed will transmit the
Fire Loop report code to the central station. The trouble will be
cleared if there is no CleanMeTM signal for 255 seconds. If an
alarm occurs, the trouble will be cleared until it is detected again.
Figure 3-10: PGM1 2-wire Smoke Detector Input
3.15.3 Smoke Detector Installation (4-Wire)
Connect the 4-wire smoke detectors and a relay as shown in
Figure 3-11. Recommended: The System Sensor model 2112/24D
smoke detectors. To comply with UL955, the 4-wire smoke
detectors must be installed using 18 gauge wire. In the event
power is interrupted, the relay will cause the control panel to
transmit the Fire Loop Trouble report if programmed in section
[707]. To reset (unlatch) the smoke detector after an alarm, verify
that the negative (-) of the smoke detector is connected to a PGM
as shown in Figure 3-11. Then program the PGM with the “Smoke
Reset” activation event (see section 11.1 of this manual) to
interrupt power to the smoke detector for four seconds when the
[CLEAR]and [ENTER] keys are pressed and held for two seconds.

3.16 CONNECTINGTHEZX4
The ZX4 is a 4-Zone Hardwire Expansion Module that connects
directly to the control panel through its on-board EXPANSION
connector as shown in Figure 3-12. It provides four additional
hardwired input terminals (8 zones with ATZ enabled). Connect
detection devices to the ZX4's terminals in the same way they are
connected to the control panel as shown in Figure 3-7 on page 11
or Figure 3-8 on page 12. Devices connected to hardwired input
terminals must be assigned to a zone and the zone's parameters
must be defined (see section 5).

4 PROGRAMMING METHODS
The Digiplex Control Panel can be programmed using the WinLoad
software, the Paradox Memory Key, or manually by using a
keypad. We highly recommend programming the control panel with
WinLoad as it greatly simplifies the process and reduces potential
data errors. Please refer to WINLOAD SOFTWARE on page45 for
details on how to set up the control panel to function with WinLoad.
You can also copy the programmed contents of one Digiplex
control panel into as many Digiplex control panels as you need by
using the Paradox Memory Key (see section 4.7). Each control
panel is programmed in less than 5 seconds.
Keypads and other bus modules can also be programmed easily
by using Module Broadcast (see section 13.13). Once a module is
programmed, its sections can be sent to other similar modules
through the bus.

5.1 ZONENUMBERING
SECTIONS[001] TO [048]
The Zone Numbering feature allows you to assign any detection
device in the system to any of the 48 zones. This feature tells the
control panel where the device is connected and which of the 48
zones is assigned to that device (see Figure 5-2: Zone
Numbering).
•To assign a bus detector connected to the bus, program the
detector's serial number into the section corresponding to the
desired zone (i.e. program zone 34 in section [034]).
•To assign a detection device connected to a module or control
panel's hardwired input terminal, program the module's or
control panel's serial number and the input number where the
device is connected into the section corresponding to the
desired zone. Refer to the appropriate module's Installation
Guide for details of its input numbers. Note: an input number is
not required for keypad zones.
If PGM1 is defined as a smoke detector input (see
section 11.3), the control panel will recognize it as
input # 255.
Figure 5-2: Zone Numbering
5.2 ZONEDEFINITIONS
Select one of the 15 available zone definitions described below
(also refer to Figure 5-1 on page 16).
5.2.1 Zone Disabled
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 0
Disables the corresponding zone. All zones are disabled by
default.
5.2.2 Entry Delays 1 to 4
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 1 TO 4
When an armed zone defined as an Entry Delay opens, the control
panel will not generate an alarm until the programmed Entry Delay
Timer has elapsed. A zone can be defined with one of four Entry
Delays. Each Entry Delay is associated with an Entry Delay Timer.
To program the Entry Delay Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay
value (000 to 255 seconds) into the corresponding section:
•Entry Delay 1 Timer: [230]
•Entry Delay 2 Timer: [231]
•Entry Delay 3 Timer: [232]
•Entry Delay 4 Timer: [233]
Please note these are the same timers used for Stay Delay zones
(see section 5.2.9). Entry Delay zones are commonly used at the
entry/exit points of the protected area (i.e. front/back door or
garage). Using different Entry Delays is useful when, for example,
one entry point requires a longer delay than the other entry point or
in a partitioned system where each partition may require a different
Entry Delay.
5.2.3 Follow Zones
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 5
If an armed Follow zone opens, the control panel will immediately
generate an alarm. If an armed Entry Delay zone (see section
5.2.2) opens before the Follow zone, the control panel will wait until
the end of the Entry Delay before generating an alarm. If more than
one Entry Delay zone opens before the Follow zone, the control
panel will wait until the end of the first Entry Delay before
generating an alarm.
5.2.4 Instant Zones
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 6
When an armed Instant zone opens, the control panel immediately
generates an alarm. Instant zones are commonly used for
windows, patio doors, skylights and other perimeter type zones.
5.2.5 24Hr Buzzer Zones
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 7
Whenever a 24Hr Buzzer zone opens, whether the zone is armed
or disarmed, the control panel will activate the keypad buzzer to
indicate that the zone was breached. The control panel will report
the alarm, but will not enable the bell/siren output. Enter any valid
access code on the keypad to stop the buzzer.
The keypads must be assigned to the same partition
as the 24Hr Buzzer zone. Otherwise, the buzzer will
not activate.
.
5.2.6 24Hr Burglary Zones
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 8
Whenever a 24Hr Burglary zone opens, whether the system is
armed or disarmed, the control panel will immediately generate an
alarm.
5.2.7 Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= 9
The Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone definition described in Figure 5-3 on
page 18 is commonly used in residential homes where a smoke
detector often generates false alarms (i.e. cigarette smoke, burning
bread, etc.). When a zone is programmed as a Fire zone, the zone
becomes normally open and requires an EOL resistor. The zone
will not function as normally closed.
The keypads must be assigned to the same partition
as the Delayed 24Hr Fire zone for the buzzer to
activate.

5.2.8 Standard 24Hr Fire Zone
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= A
For information on how to connect smoke detectors to the control
panel, refer to Fire Circuits in section 3.15. When a zone is
programmed as a Fire zone, the zone becomes normally open and
requires an EOL resistor. The zone will not function as normally
closed. Whenever a Standard 24Hr Fire Zone is triggered, whether
it is armed or disarmed, the control panel can:
•send the appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see section
9.2.5) to the central station.
•send a Fire Loop Trouble Report (see section 9.2.11) to the
Central Station if a tamper/wiring fault occurs on a Fire Zone.
A “Zone Fault Trouble” will also appear in the keypad's
Trouble Display.
•generate a Fire alarm, which is always audible, regardless of
other settings. Fire alarms will generate an intermittent bell/
siren output signal as demonstrated in Figure 5-4.
Figure 5-4: Bell/Siren Output During Fire Alarm
5.2.9 Stay Delay Zone
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: FIRSTDIGIT= B TO E
When a Stay Delay zone is armed using the Regular or Force
arming methods, the control panel will process the zone as an
Instant zone (see section 5.2.4). When a Stay Delay zone is armed
using the Stay or Instant arming methodsand the zone is triggered,
the control panel will not generate an alarm until the programmed
Stay Delay has elapsed. A zone can be defined with one of four
Stay Delays. Each Stay Delay is associated with an Entry Delay
Timer. To program the Entry Delay Timer, key in the desired 3-digit
delay value (000 to 255 seconds) into the corresponding section:
Stay Delay 1 = Entry Delay 1 Timer in section [230]
Stay Delay 2 = Entry Delay 2 Timer in section [231]
Stay Delay 3 = Entry Delay 3 Timer in section [232]
Stay Delay 4 = Entry Delay 4 Timer in section [233]
Please note that the Entry Delay Timers are the same timers used
for Entry Delay zones.
5.3 ZONEPARTITIONASSIGNMENT
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: SECONDDIGIT= 1 TO 4
The control panel provides the option of partitioning the security
system into two, three, or four completely independent systems.
Therefore, each zone must be assigned to one partition as
described in Figure 5-1 on page 16. For more information on
Partitioning, refer to section 13.5.
5.4 ZONEOPTIONS
Each zone can be programmed with one or more of the options
described below. Program the zone options as described in Figure
5-1 on page 16.
5.4.1 Auto Zone Shutdown
SECTIONS[101] TO [148]: OPTION[1]
When option [1] is disabled and an armed zone is breached, the
control panel generates an alarm: it may send an alarm report (see
section 9.11), activate the bell output, etc.. If the same zone re-
opens during the same alarm, another alarm report may be sent,
the bell output may re-activate and so on. When option [1] is
enabled on a zone, the control panel will stop generating an alarm
when the Auto Zone Shutdown Limit is reached during one armed
period. The control panel will ignore zones with the Auto Zone
Shutdown option that have surpassed the programmed limit. To
program the Auto Zone Shutdown Limit, key in the desired 3-digit
counter (000 to 015) into section [217]. Entering 000 disables this
feature. The Auto Zone Shutdown Limit resets every time the
system is armed.
