ZX16D: 16 Zone Expansion Module
Description
Driven by the V32 main controller’s 4-wire communication
bus (Multibus), the ZX16D is a DIN module with 16 inputs
for home automation or security with a status display for
each input. The module offers a test mode with 5 different
tests for input connectivity and operation, and full remote
firmware upgradeability.
With its DIN rail design, the module saves space, and
makes installation and wiring significantly faster and easier.
Features
• 16 zones or inputs
• Diagnostic Mode: Zone LEDs turn on/off to identify
assigned zone inputs, verify correct wiring (no EOL,
EOL without tamper, EOL with tamper) and perform a
walk test
• Remote firmware upgradeability via Multibus
• DIN rail design with on-board status display, and
removable terminals
• Programming via BabyWare software
• Bi-directional LOCATE feature from module to software
and vice versa

Test Mode
To facilitate installation and verify correct wiring, the ZX16D features five Test Modes. In order to use this feature, the
ZX16D module must be powered (Test Mode 1 requires a full bus connection).
To enter Test Mode, press the LOC button. The ZX16D enters Test Mode 1. Press the LOC button again to enter Test Mode
2, and so on. On the sixth press, the ZX16D will exit Test Mode.

Feedback Instructions
Mode 1* Input assignment RX flashes x 1 Entering Mode 1 illuminates all zones that have already been assigned in the control
panel.*This feature will be available on future versions.
Mode 2 EOL disabled
Tamper disabled
RX flashes x 2 Entering Mode 2 sets the ZX16D for: No EOL / No tamper. To verify correct EOL /
tamper wiring, open and close the zone and verify that the zone’s LED reacts
accordingly.
Mode 3 EOL enabled
Tamper disabled
RX flashes x 3 Entering Mode 3 sets the ZX16D for: With EOL / No tamper. To verify correct EOL /
tamper wiring, open and close the zone and verify that the zone’s LED reacts
accordingly.
Mode 4 EOL enabled
Tamper enabled
RX flashes x 4 Entering Mode 4 sets the ZX16D for: With EOL / With tamper. To verify correct EOL /
tamper wiring, open and close the zone and verify that the zone’s LED reacts
accordingly.
Mode 5 Zone test RX flashes x 5 Entering Mode 5 illuminates all connected zones. When a zone is triggered, the
corresponding zone LED will turn off, indicating correct wiring.

Bi-directional Locate Feature
Pressing and holding the LOC button for 3 seconds will initiate the Module Locate feature. When a Module Locate is
initiated, the module’s representation in the BabyWare software will flash and the module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will flash
at 1Hz to indicate that it is in locate mode. A module locate can also be initiated from the BabyWare software. From
BabyWare right-click the module’s representation and select Locate Physical. The module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will
flash. We highly recommend that after pressing locate and identifying the module, open the programming page and assign
the proper physical location label and the doors’ labels and locations. After complete connection, use the space provided
on the module to indicate the doors’ description.
Remote Firmware Upgrade
Work in progress...
The ZX16D is firmware upgradeable remotely via the V32 controller’s Multibus at 57.6Kbps. Using BabyWare connect to
the V32 account using any of the connection methods (direct connect, IP static, or IP DNS). Right-click the desired module
and select Upgrade (???). When communicating through the Internet, BabyWare will indicate whether the panel or any of
the bus modules have a newer firmware version available. A firmware upgrade for a single module or group of modules will
take usually less than 10 minutes, which keeps system downtime to a minimum.
Programming a ZX16D Module
1) When BabyWare is communicating with the V32 controller and a ZX16D
module is connected to the Multibus, it automatically appears in the Modules
display area. To view the Modules display area, click the Modules toggle
button. Alternatively, you may wish to add a module to BabyWare before the
module is physically connected to the system. Click the Add Item button.
2) To program a module that already appeared in the system, double-click the
module’s icon. The ZX16D Programming window opens.
3) From the ZX16D Programming window, configure input speeds and general
options. Click OK.
