4 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
1 INTRODUCTION
The integrity of a security system relies not only in the performance of the
control panel, keypads, motion detectors and other accessories, but in the
ability to communicate information effectively back and forth through the
system's wiring. With this in mind Paradox Security Systems created the
next evolution in control panel technology: DigiplexNE. Since data is
constantly transmitted through the 4-wire combus, any attempt to tamper
with or disable any module or the wiring is immediately recognized and
causes an alarm to be reported whether the system is armed or not.
DigiplexNE also offers the additional benefit of an innovative built-in access
control system. Manage, control and monitor the traffic of up to 999 users
through 32 secured areas by defining the days and times they are allowed
access. By integrating access control and security, DigiplexNE provides the
best of both worlds in a feature-rich and user-friendly system.
Beyond offering high security, the combus makes installing and
programming effortless by eliminating the need for home run wiring,
jumpers and EOL resistors. Connect the modules in any order anywhere on
the combus and assign the zones as desired. Since programming a large
security system through a keypad can be time consuming and tedious,
installers can use the WinLoad software to complete all the programming
remotely, including setting a motion detector's sensitivity. Even users can
modify their security system through the comfort of their own computer with
NEware, a simple, intuitive interface designed to add employees, set
schedules, assign access rights, view the status of the system and all its
modules and more.
CTR-21 APPROVAL
The DigiplexNE control panel (DGP-NE96) meets the European Union
Common Technical Requirement CTR-21. The CTR-21 requirement is an
electrical standard that defines the analogue interface for all two-wire
telecommunications equipment (i.e. DECT, PABXs, etc.) intended for
connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network. This allows the
DigiplexNE control panel to be used in as many as 19 countries, such as
Belgium, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland.
DigiplexNE control panels with the CTR-21 approval are available as an
option only.

DIGIPLEXNE CONTROL PANEL 5
2 INSTALLATION
2.1 RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
This procedure is recommended to facilitate installation by verifying the
wiring at different stages instead of only at the end.
Step 1: Install the control panel.
Step 2: Connect a portion of the system’s modules, including a keypad, to
the combus.
Step 3: Connect the battery and then connect the AC power. Only the Clock
Loss trouble should appear.
Step 4: Disconnect AC power and the battery.
Step 5: Continue the installation by following steps 2, 3 and 4.
Step 6: Once the installation is complete, enter section [4000] to verify if all
the modules’ serial numbers appear (see section 11.19 on page
34). If modules were removed from the combus, enter [4005] to
remove them from the panel’s memory (see section 11.18 on page
34).
Step 7: Connect an LCD Keypad at various points farthest from the control
panel and use the keypad’s built-in Voltmeter to verify the combus’s
voltage (refer to the Digiplex/DigiplexNE LCD Keypad Reference &
Installation Manual).
2.2 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.
2.3 EARTH GROUND
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the
enclosure 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 (see Figure 2-3 on page 6).
2.4 AC POWER
Use a 16.5Vac (50/60Hz) transformer with a minimum 20VA rating to
provide sufficient AC power. For increased power use a transformer with a
40VA rating. For UL Listed systems, 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 2-3 on page 6.
Do not connect the transformer or the backup battery until all
wiring is completed.
PLEASE NOTE: When powering up the DGP-NE96 control
panel (V1.02 or higher), the panel will begin a module scan to
verify if all the modules connected to the control panel are
operational. The scanning process will take between 30 and
120 seconds to complete depending on the number of
modules connected to the control panel. The module scan is
complete when the keypad begins to show the partition status.
Only after the module scan is complete will the control panel
be fully operational.
2.5 BACKUP BATTERY
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 2-3 on page 6. Connect the backup
battery after applying AC power. When installing, verify proper polarity, as
reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. For details on how to set
the Battery Charge Current to either 350mA or 700mA, see section 11.5.
2.5.1 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.
2.6 AUXILIARY POWER TERMINALS
The auxiliary power supply can power the motion detectors, keypads and
other accessories in the 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 2-3 on page 6. To calculate power consumption, see Calculating
Power Requirements on page 7.
2.7 BELL/SIREN OUTPUT
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 one 30-watt or two 20-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
2-3. PGM2 and PGM3 are relays rated at 5A each and can be used to
power bells and/or other warning devices by programming them as a bell/
siren outputs (see section 10 on page 31).
When the bell output is not used, the “Bell Absent” message
appears in the Trouble Display. To avoid this, connect a 1k
Ω
resistor across the bell output. UL Note: The keypads must be
programmed to beep with all troubles
2.8 PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS
The control panel comes standard with
PGM1 to PGM3. 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
doors and much more. For details on how to
program the PGMs, refer to section 10.
PGM1 is 100mA (max.) normally open
output. PGM2 and PGM3 are 5A relay
outputs that can be normally open or
normally closed. If the current draw on
PGM1 is to exceed the current output, we
recommend using a relay as shown in
Figure 2-1. PGM1 can be programmed as a
2-wire smoke detector input (see section
2.17.1 on page 10 and section 10.6 on page 31).
2.9 KEYSWITCH CONNECTIONS (NOT VERIFIED BY UL)
Connect the keyswitches to the keypad,
control panel, or Zone Expansion Module's
hardwired input terminals as shown in Figure
2-2. Once a keyswitch is connected, it must be
assigned a keyswitch zone and its parameters
must be defined as described in Keyswitch
Programming on page 17.
2.10 ACCESS CONTROL CONNECTIONS
For all access control explanations and connection drawings, refer to
Access Control: System Features on page 38.

6 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
Figure 2-3: DigiplexNE Control Panel Wiring Diagram
This equipment should be installed in accordance with Chapter 2 of the
National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). Printed
information describing proper installation, operation, testing,
maintenance, evacuation planning, and repair service is to be provided
with this equipment.
When installing the combus wires in a noisy environment, or when
connecting the combus across separate buildings, you must use a
shielded cable. Refer to section 2.16.1 on page 10.
PLEASE NOTE: When powering up the DGP-NE96 control panel (V1.02 or higher), the panel will begin a module scan to verify if all the modules connected to the panel are operational. The scanning
process will take between 30 and 120 seconds to complete depending on the number of modules connected to the control panel. The module scan is complete when the LCD keypad begins to show the
partition status. Only after the module scan is complete will the control panel be fully operational.
PLEASE NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you test your system
on a weekly basis, and have your system checked by a qualified
technician a minimum of every 3 years.
Please see “UL and ULC Warnings” on page 62 for applicable UL/
ULC warnings and information.
WARNING: This equipment must be installed and maintained
by qualified service personnel only.

DIGIPLEXNE CONTROL PANEL 7
2.11 CALCULATING POWER REQUIREMENTS
STEP 1: Using Table 1, 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 Grand Total is less than 700PU, go to step 3. If the value is greater, an external power supply is required (see Figure 2-5 on page 8) to provide the
additional power needed. Proceed with step 3 and refer to the example in Figure 2-4 on page 8.
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 Table 2, determine how many power units each length of wire can support. Please note that the total number of power
units (PU) can never surpass 700PU.
If multiple runs of wire are being used, the total distance of all the runs combined cannot exceed 3000ft. (1000m). For example, if ten runs
of wire each measuring 1000ft. (305m) were connected, the total distance would be 10,000ft. (3048m) and therefore exceeds the system’s
capacity.

8 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
Figure 2-4: Sample Power Requirement Calculations
An LCD Keypad (80PU) can be added to the 100ft. or 300ft. wire in Figure
2-4, but adding an LCD Keypad to the 1000ft. wire would exceed the wire’s
limits and cause devices to function at decreased capacity.
Figure 2-5: External Power Supply Connections
Do not use the same transformer for the control panel and the
external power supplies. Do not install modules more than
3000ft (914m) from the control panel.
2.12 KEYPAD ZONE CONNECTIONS
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 back 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 page 13). The keypad communicates the status of
the zone to the control panel via the combus. The detection device is
connected as shown in Figure 2-3 on page 6.
2.13 ADDRESSABLE ZONE CONNECTIONS
The control panel includes eight hardwired input terminals for use with
traditional hardwired (non-combus) door contacts, smoke detectors and/or
motion detectors.
The control panel also supports several hardwire zone expansion modules.
Devices connected to hardwired input terminals must be assigned to a
zone and the zone's parameters must be defined (see Zone Programming
on page 13). Figure 2-6 shows single zone (ATZ disabled) hardwire input
terminal connections recognized by the DigiplexNE system. For UL listed
installations, use EOL resistor part #2011002000.
As indicated in Table 2 on
page 7, this run of wire can
support 700PU. Total PU on
this run of wire:
(A) 40PU + (B) 40PU =
80PU<700PU = OK
As indicated in Table 2
on page 7, this run of
wire can support 454PU.
Total PU on this run of
wire:
(D) 60PU + (E) 16PU +
(F) 60PU + (G) 60PU
= 196PU<454PU = OK
As indicated in Table 2 on
page 7, this run of wire
can support 136PU. Total
PU on this run of wire:
(A) 40PU + (C) 16PU =
56PU<136PU = OK

DIGIPLEXNE CONTROL PANEL 9
Figure 2-6: Single Zone Input Connections 2.14 DOUBLE ZONE CONNECTIONS
Enabling the ATZ feature (see section 4.2) allows you to install two
detection devices per input terminal. Connect the devices as shown in
Figure 2-7. Devices connected to input terminals must be assigned to a
zone and the zone's parameters must be defined (see Zone Programming
on page 13). For UL listed Burglary System installations only, use EOL
resistor part #2011002000.
Figure 2-7: Double Zone Connections
2.15 CONNECTING THE DGP2-ZX4
The 4-Zone Expansion Plug-in Device*(DGP2-ZX4*) provides four
additional hardwired input terminals (8 zones with ATZ enabled). It
connects directly to the control panel through its on-board EXPANSION
connector as shown in Figure 2-3: on page 6. Connect detection devices to
the DGP2-ZX4's terminals in the same way that they are connected to the
control panel as shown in Figure 2-6 or Figure 2-7 on page 9. Devices
connected to hardwired input terminals must be assigned to a zone and the
zone's parameters must be defined (Zone Programming on page 13). For
the 4-Zone Expansion Module (APR3-ZX4), refer to the DigiplexNE
Modules Programming Guide.
*Do not use with UL Listed systems.
Enable ATZ (see section 4.2 on page 14)
and connect as follows (extra input
cannot be used)

10 REFERENCE & INSTALLATION MANUAL
2.16 COMBUS CONNECTIONS
Modules can connect anywhere on the 4-wire combus, which can support
up to 127 modules. Connect in a star and/or daisy chain configuration as
shown in Figure 2-3 on page 6. The final device on the combus should not
be more than 3000ft (914m) from the control panel. To assign a detection
device to a zone in the control panel, see “Zone Programming” on page 13.
Before connecting a module to the combus, remove AC and
battery power from the control panel.
2.16.1 Connecting the Combus in Noisy Environments
When installing the combus wires in proximity to high electrical
interferences such as neon lights, motors, high-voltage wiring,
transformers, or if connecting the combus across separate buildings, you
must use shielded cables. Connect the shielded cable as detailed below:
Within the Same Building: Strip the outer jacket at one end of the
shielded cable to expose the shield and connect the shield to the control
panel ground (not the dialer ground), while leaving the shield at the other
end of the cable open (floating).
Across Separate Buildings: Strip the outer jacket at one end of the
shielded cable to expose the shield. In the same building that houses the
control panel, connect the exposed shield to a cold water pipe or any other
earth ground available, while leaving the shield at the other end of the cable
open (floating). The same configuration applies for any subsequent
building.
2.17 FIRE CIRCUITS
Connect the smoke detectors using any of the following methods. Assign
the smoke detectors connected to the control panel or zone expansion
input terminals to a zone and define the zone's parameters as a Fire Zone
(see section 4 on page 13).
2.17.1 Smoke Detector Installation (2-Wire)*
PGM1 can be defined as a 2-wire
smoke detector input (see section
10.6). Connect the 2-wire smoke
detectors as shown in Figure 2-8
using a 1kΩEOL resistor. If a line
short occurs or the smoke detector
activates, whether the system is
armed or disarmed, the control panel
will generate an alarm. If the line is
open, the “Zone Fault” trouble
indication appears in the Trouble
Display and the report code is sent to
the Monitoring Station, if programmed.
*UL Note: Not to be used with UL Listed systems.
2.17.2 ESL CleanMe® Installation
The DigiplexNE control panel supports ESL smoke detectors that have the
CleanMe®feature. Connect ESL smoke detectors like the standard smoke
detectors shown in Figure 2-8. Avoid connecting more than 20 ESL smoke
detectors. When an ESL smoke detector sends a CleanMe signal, the
control panel will generate a Zone Fault trouble and, if programmed, will
transmit the Fire Loop report code to the Monitoring Station. The trouble will
be cleared if there is no CleanMe signal for 255 seconds. If an alarm
occurs, the trouble will be cleared until it is detected again.
2.17.3 Smoke Detector Installation (4-Wire)
Recommended: System Sensor model
2112/24D smoke detectors. Connect the
4-wire smoke detectors and a relay as
shown in Figure 2-9. To comply with
UL955, install the 4-wire smoke detectors
with 18 gauge wire. If power is
interrupted, the relay causes the control
panel to transmit the Fire Loop Trouble
report programmed in section [2906].
To reset (unlatch), connect the smoke
detector’s negative (-) to a PGM. Then
program the PGM with the “Smoke
Detector Power Reset” activation event
(see section 10.1 on page 31; Event
Group #067, start # 004, end # 004) to
interrupt power to the smoke detector for
four seconds when the [CLEAR]and
[ENTER] keys are pressed and held for two
seconds.
If ATZ is enabled (see see section 4.2 on page 14), do not use
the extra input (doubled zone). For example, in this example
input 13 cannot be used.
2.18 TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTIONS
Depending on the installation, the telephone lines can be connected directly
to the control panel or through a CA38A or RJ31 as shown in Figure 2-10.
The secondary telephone line terminals (optional) can be used as a backup
telephone line. If the Event Call Direction process fails and the control panel
is unable to communicate with the Monitoring Station through the main line,
the control panel will switch to the second line and repeat the Event Call
Direction process (see section 8.8 on page 28).
UL Note: Installer must verify line seizure after every installation
Figure 2-10: Telephone Line Connection Examples
Figure 2-8:
2-Wire Detectors
Note: It is recommended that the smoke
detectors be connected in a daisy chain
configuration.
Figure 2-9: 4-Wire Detectors
Note: It is recommended that the
smoke detectors be connected in a
daisy chain configuration.

DIGIPLEXNE CONTROL PANEL 11
For TBR-21 compliance, please note the following:
1) The DGP-NE96 can be connected to the telephone network via an RJ-
11 connector.
2) The Maximum Dialing Attempts cannot exceed 15 attempts (page 28).
2.19 BUILT-IN RTC
The DigiplexNE incorporates an RTC directly on the PC board. The RTC
will save the DigiplexNE’s internal clock when both the AC and battery
power have been lost. After power is lost and then restored, the DigiplexNE
will verify with and then retrieve the time from the RTC. The control panel
will verify and compare its time with the time stored in the RTC every hour.
If the times are different, the DigiplexNE will reset its internal clock to the
time saved in the RTC. The RTC uses a 3V lithium battery (CR2032) with a
battery life of 11 years. Change the battery as shown below:
Figure 2-11: Changing the RTC’s Battery
Reprogram the control panel’s clock after changing the battery.
WARNING! Danger of explosion exists if the lithium battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

DIGIPLEXNE CONTROL PANEL 13
4 ZONE PROGRAMMING
All detection devices connected to the control panel, keypads and zone expansion modules must be assigned to a zone and that zone must be defined as
described in this section.
Figure 4-1: Zone Programming
4.1 ZONE NUMBERING
SECTIONS [0001] TO [0096]
The Zone Numbering feature is used to individually assign each detection
device to any zone in the DigiplexNE system (see Figure 4-1). The Zone
Parameters define the type of zone, the zone's partition assignment and
how the control panel will react when an alarm occurs on that zone (see
section 4.3 to section 4.5).
• To assign an addressable PIR or door contact to the combus, program
the module’s serial number into the section corresponding to the desired
zone (i.e. program zone 34 in section [0034]).
• 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. See the Module
Programming Guide for details of its input numbers (input numbers not
required for keypad zones).

4.2 ZONE DOUBLING (ATZ)
SECTION [3033]: OPTION [8]
(Default = disabled) The ATZ feature is a software oriented feature that
enables two detection devices to be installed per hardwired input terminal
(section 2.15 on page 9 and see section 2.14 on page 9). Each detection
device has its own zone, displays its zone status on the keypad and sends
its own alarm codes. Fire Zones cannot be doubled.
4.3 ZONE DEFINITIONS
The 16 zone definitions from Figure 4-1 on page 13 are described below.
When an alarm occurs, the control panel can send a report, activate the bell
output and display the alarm in the Alarm Memory.
4.3.1 Zone Disabled
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 0
Disables the corresponding zone. Zones are disabled by default.
4.3.2 Entry Delays 1 and 2
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 1 AND 2
(Default Entry Delay 1= 030, Entry Delay 2 = 060) When an armed zone
defined as an Entry Delay opens, the control panel will not generate an
alarm until the Entry Delay Timer elapses. A zone defined as Entry Delay 1
follows the Entry Delay 1 Timer of its assigned partition. Likewise, a zone
defined as Entry Delay 2 follows the Entry Delay 2 Timer of its assigned
partition.
For example, if zone 1 is assigned to Partition 5 and is defined as Entry
Delay 1, the timer follows the amount programmed in [3511].
Each partition includes two Entry Delay Timers. To program an Entry Delay
Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (001 to 255 seconds) into the
corresponding section.
Entry Delay zones are commonly used at the entry/exit points (i.e. front/
back door or garage). Using different Entry Delays is useful when one entry
point requires a longer delay than another.
These are the same timers used for Stay Delay zones (see section
4.3.14).
4.3.3 Follow Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 3
If an armed Follow zone opens, the control panel generates an alarm. If an
armed Entry Delay zone (see section 4.3.2) opens before the Follow zone,
the control panel waits 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 waits until the end of the first Entry Delay before
generating an alarm. This feature is commonly used when a motion
detector is protecting the area occupied by the entry point keypad. This will
prevent the motion detector from causing an alarm when a user enters
through the entry point to disarm the system.
4.3.4 Instant Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 4
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.
4.3.5 24Hr Buzzer Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 5
Whenever a 24Hr Buzzer zone opens, whether the zone is armed or
disarmed, the control panel activates 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 or the buzzer will not activate. UL Note: Not
to be used for perimeter protection.
4.3.6 24Hr Burglary Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 6
When a 24Hr Burglary zone opens, whether the system is armed or
disarmed, the control panel will immediately generate a burglary alarm.
4.3.7 24Hr Hold-up Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 7
When a 24Hr Hold-up zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the
control panel will immediately generate an alarm. The SIA FSK reporting
format includes specific codes to identify the alarm as a Hold-up Alarm.
4.3.8 24Hr Gas Zones*
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 8
When a 24Hr Gas zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the control
panel will immediately generate an alarm. The SIA FSK reporting format
includes specific codes to identify the alarm as a Gas Alarm.
4.3.9 24Hr Heat Zones**
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = 9
When a 24Hr Heat zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the control
panel will immediately generate an alarm. The SIA FSK reporting format
includes specific codes to identify the alarm as a Heat Alarm.
** UL Note: UL Listed compatible devices shall be used for UL systems. For
UL Listed systems, this type of zone shall be programmed as a pulsing Fire
alarm.

control panel will immediately generate an alarm. The SIA FSK reporting
format includes specific codes to identify the alarm as a Freeze Alarm.
* UL Note: UL Listed compatible devices shall be used for UL systems. For
UL Listed systems, this type of zone shall be programmed as a silent auxiliary
alarm.
4.3.12 Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone (Not to be used with UL Listed systems)
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = C
The Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone definition from Figure 4-3: on page 15 is
commonly used in residential homes where a smoke detector often
generates false alarms (i.e. cigarette smoke, burning bread, etc.). A zone
programmed as Fire becomes normally open (will not function as normally
closed) and requires an EOL resistor.
The keypads must be assigned to the same partition as the
Delayed 24Hr Fire zone for the buzzer to activate.
Figure 4-3: Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone
4.3.13 Standard 24Hr Fire Zone
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = D
A zone programmed as Fire becomes normally open (will not function as
normally closed) and requires an EOL resistor.
When a Standard 24Hr Fire Zone triggers, the control panel can:
• send a Zone Alarm report code (see section 8.2.1 on page 25).
• send a Fire Loop Trouble Report (see section 8.2.11 on page 26) 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 generate an intermittent signal (see Figure 4-4).
Figure 4-4: Bell/Siren Output During Fire Alarm
4.3.14 Stay Delay Zone
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: FIRST DIGIT = E AND F
When a Stay Delay zone is armed using the Regular or Force arming
methods, the control panel processes the zone as an Instant zone (see
section 4.3.4). When a Stay Delay zone is armed using the Stay or Instant
arming methods and the zone is triggered, the control panel will not
generate an alarm until the programmed Stay Delay elapses. A zone
defined as Stay Delay 1 follows the Entry Delay 1 Timer of its assigned
partition. Likewise, a zone defined as Stay Delay 2 follows the Entry Delay
2 Timer of its assigned partition. To program the Entry Delay Timers, refer
to Entry Delays 1 and 2 on page 14.
For example, if zone 1 in Partition 5 is defined as Stay Delay 1, the timer
will follow the amount programmed in [3511].
4.4 ZONE PARTITION ASSIGNMENT
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: SECOND DIGIT = 1 TO 8
A control panel can be divided into eight completely independent systems
(see section 11.9 on page 32). Assign each zone to one partition (see
Figure 4-1 on page 13).
4.5 ZONE OPTIONS
The zone options from Figure 4-1 on page 13 are described below.
4.5.1 Auto Zone Shutdown
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTION [1]
(Default = 000) When option [1] is disabled, the control panel generates an
alarm when an armed zone is breached even if the same zone opens
repeatedly during the same alarm, which may cause several reportings and
further activation of the bell output. When option [1] is enabled, the control
panel will stop regenerating alarms on the zone during the same armed
period once the Auto Zone Shutdown Limit is reached. The Auto Zone
Shutdown Limit resets every time the system is armed. To program the
Auto Zone Shutdown Limit, key in the desired 3-digit counter (000 to 255)
into section corresponding to the desired partition (000 = disabled):
4.5.2 Bypass Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTION [2]
Only zones with option [2] enabled can be Manually Bypassed (see section
15.7). Fire Zones cannot be bypassed. Default = enabled.

4.5.3 Stay Zones
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTION [3]
Only zones with option [3] enabled will be bypassed when the partition is
Stay Armed (see section 15.2) or Instant Armed (see section 15.3). All other
zones will remain activated. Fire Zones cannot be set as Stay Zones.
4.5.4 Force Zones (Not to be used with UL Listed systems)
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTION [4]
Only zones with option [4] enabled can be bypassed when the partition is
Force armed (see section 15.4). Fire Zones cannot be Force Zones.
4.5.5 Alarm Types
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTIONS [5] & [6]
4.5.6 Intellizone*
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTION [7]
(Default = 010) If an alarm condition occurs on a zone with option [7]
enabled, the control panel triggers the Intellizone Delay and seeks
confirmation of the alarm situation before generating an alarm. Fire Zones
cannot be set as Intellizones. An alarm will only be generated if one of the
following conditions occurs during the Intellizone Delay:
1) An alarm occurs on another zone defined as Intellizone.
2) The zone in alarm restores and reoccurs.
3) The zone stays in alarm for the entire Intellizone Delay.
Key in the desired 3-digit delay value (010 to 255 seconds) into the section
corresponding to the desired partition (000 = 10 seconds):
* UL Note: For UL Listed systems, the detection pattern of both zones shall
be installed so that each zone has the capability of protecting the area alone.
4.5.7 Delay Before Alarm Transmission
SECTIONS [0101] TO [0196]: OPTION [8]
(Default = 000) When an alarm condition occurs on a zone with option [8]
enabled, the control panel activates the bell output, but will not report the
alarm to the Monitoring Station until the end of the Alarm Transmission
Delay. During this period, disarming the system cancels any report
originating from this zone. To program the Alarm Transmission Delay, key in
the desired value (000 to 255 seconds, 000 = instant) into section [3055].
This feature is commonly used with Entry Delay zones to reduce false
alarms created by new users who may not disarm the system in time.
4.6 INPUT SPEED
(001 to 255 X 30msec, default: 600ms)
The Input Speed defines how quickly the control panel responds to an open
zone detected on any hardwired input terminal (does not apply to
addressable motion detectors and door contacts). All other zone definitions
and options do not come into effect until the Input Speed elapses. The
control panel will not display and/or respond to an open zone until the Input
Speed elapses to prevent glitches from causing an alarm or unnecessary
reporting.
For example, if an armed zone with an Input Speed of 600ms opens and
closes in less than 600ms, the control panel will not respond (i.e. no
reporting, no alarm and no display on the keypad).
Set the Input Speed (001 to 255 X 30ms, default = 600msec.):
Set the Input Speeds for the optional 4-Zone Hardwire Module, DGP2-ZX4:
4.7 EOL ON HARDWIRE ZONES
SECTION [3033]: OPTION [7]
(Default = disabled) If detection devices connected to hardwired input
terminals use 1kΩend of line resistors, enable option [7] in section [3033].
For details on using EOL resistors, refer to Addressable Zone Connections
on page 8 and Double Zone Connections on page 9.
4.8 KEYPAD NUMBERING
SECTIONS [2801] TO [2832]
Keypad Numbering is only used to identify the keypad in the event buffer.
When Keypad Numbering is not used, the event buffer will then display any
events pertaining to any keypad as Keypad 00. When Keypad Numbering is
used, each keypad is identified by a specific number. The keypad is
assigned to a Keypad Number from 1 to 32 through the keypad's serial
number in sections [2801] to [2832]. Enter the 8-digit serial keypad serial
number in the desired section.

5 KEYSWITCH PROGRAMMING
The DigiplexNE control panel can support up to 32 keyswitch zones in addition to the 96 standard zones. A keyswitch allows a user to arm or disarm a
system by pressing a key or by toggling a keyswitch. A keyswitch can also be used to generate a Utility Key event which can then be used to activate or
deactivate the control panel’s PGM outputs. The keyswitches are connected to the hardwired input terminals of either the control panel, zone expansion
modules or the keypad. For installation instructions, see section 2.9 on page 5. Keyswitches must be programmed as described in this section (see Figure 5-
1). UL Note: Keyswitches are not to be used in UL Listed systems.
Figure 5-1: Keyswitch Programming
5.1 KEYSWITCH NUMBERING
SECTIONS [0501] TO [0532]
Keyswitch Numbering allows you to assign any hardwired input in the
system to any of the 32 keyswitch zones in the control panel. It identifies
where the keyswitch is connected and which keyswitch zone is assigned to
the keyswitch (see Figure 5-2).

5.2.4 Generates a Utility Key Event on Open
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: FIRST DIGIT = 3
When option [3] is enabled, a Utility Key Event will be generated whenever
the keyswitch input is opened. This option can be used to activate or
deactivate one or more of DigiplexNE’s PGM outputs. When a keyswitch is
defined with the Generate a Utility Key Event on Open option, the
Keyswitch Partition Assignment and Keyswitch Options are disabled. To
program a Keyswitch to generate a Utility Key Event:
1) Program the Activation Event of a PGM output with the Utility Key
Event corresponding to the desired keyswitch (see PGM
Programming Table in the Programming Guide: Event Group 048).
2) Enable option [3] in the section corresponding to the desired
keyswitch.
If the Utility Key events from 1 to 8 are chosen as Activation Events, the
PGM will activate whether the keyswitch input opens or when the keys on
the keypad are used. Utility Key events from 9 to 32 are only generated
when keyswitch inputs from 9 to 32 with this option enabled are opened.
5.2.5 Generates a Utility Key Event on Open and Close
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: FIRST DIGIT = 4
When option [4] is enabled, a Utility Key Event will be generated whenever
the keyswitch input is opened and closed. As a result, the Utility Key Events
increase from 32 to 64 events when option [4] is enabled; one event for
each state (open and closed). See Table 3 on page 18.
This option can be used to activate or deactivate one or more of
DigiplexNE’s PGM outputs. When a keyswitch is defined with the Generate
a Utility Key Event on Open and Close option, the Keyswitch Partition
Assignment and Keyswitch Options are disabled. To program a Keyswitch
to generate a Utility Key Event:
1) Program the Activation Event of a PGM output with the Utility Key
Event corresponding to the desired keyswitch (see PGM
Programming Table in the Programming Guide: Event Group 048).
2) Enable option [4] in the section corresponding to the desired
keyswitch.
If the Utility Key events from 1 to 8 are chosen as Activation Events, the
PGM will activate whether the keyswitch input opens or when the keys on
the keypad are used. Utility Key events from 9 to 32 are only generated
when keyswitch inputs from 9 to 32 with this option enabled are opened.
5.3 KEYSWITCH PARTITION ASSIGNMENT
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: SECOND DIGIT = 1 TO 8
The control panel provides the option of partitioning the security system into
eight completely independent systems. Therefore, each keyswitch must be
assigned to one partition as shown in Figure 5-1 on page 17. For details on
Partitioning, see section 11.9 on page 32.
5.4 KEYSWITCH OPTIONS
Each keyswitch zone can be programmed with one or more of the options
below as shown in Figure 5-1 on page 17.
5.4.1 Stay/Instant Disarm Option (Keyswitch)
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: OPTION [4]
When option [4] is enabled, the keyswitch can only disarm assigned Stay or
Instant Armed partitions. The Arm Only Option (see section 5.4.2) must be
disabled for this feature to function. When option [4] is disabled, the
keyswitch can disarm partitions armed using any arming method.
5.4.2 Arm Only (Keyswitch)
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: OPTION [5]
When option [5] is enabled, the keyswitch can arm assigned partitions, but
cannot disarm any partitions. The type of arming is determined by the other
Keyswitch Options selected.
5.4.3 Regular Arming (Keyswitch)
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: OPTION [6] TO [8]
When options [6] to [8] are disabled, the keyswitch arming option will
default to Regular Arming (see section 15.1).
5.4.4 Stay Arming (Keyswitch)
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: OPTION [6]
Activating the keyswitch will bypass any zones defined as Stay Zones (see
section 4.5.3) in the selected partition. All other zones will remain activated.
For more information on Stay Arming, refer to section 15.2.
5.4.5 Force Arming (Keyswitch)
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: OPTION [7]
Activating the keyswitch will arm the selected partition bypassing any open
zones defined as Force Zones (see section 4.5.4) at the time of arming. For
more information on Force Arming, refer to section 15.4.
5.4.6 Instant Arming (Keyswitch)
SECTIONS [0601] TO [0632]: OPTION [8]
