1. Introduction
This manual covers the installation, programming, and control of IP based MZ-1 and MZ-8
control panels. Both MZ-1 and MZ-8 supports full range IP reporting capability with webpage for
setting configuration and system control, MZ-8 also has the extra function of reporting through
GSM and/or GPRS.
The advanced IP Security System with fully integrated TCP/IP technology and Ethernet
connectivity is able to take full advantage of new advances in IP Home Security and Home
Automation and multi-path signalling.
Remote control of the panel is achieved by registering the panel in our Home Portal Server.
With Home Portal Server, you can connect to your panel anytime, anywhere in the world
through internet connection either with a computer or a smartphone using our Vesta Home
application. Please refer to our Home Portal User Guide for detail about registering and using
Home Portal Server.
SMS remote programming and command is also available for MZ-8 to configure your panel by
SMS messages. You can also use our Vesta EZ Home smartphone applications to send the
SMS commands easily for basic panel functions.

An AC power adapter is required to connect to a wall outlet. Be sure only to use an adapter with
the appropriate AC voltage rating to prevent component damage. Depending on the Control
Panel, a DC 9V or 12V 1A switching power output adaptor is provided to power the Control
Panel.
Rechargeable Battery
In addition to the adapter, there is a rechargeable battery inside the Control Panel, which
serves as a back up in case of a power failure.
During normal operation, the AC power adapter is used to supply power to the Control
Panel and at the same time recharge the battery. It takes approximately 72 hours to fully
charge the battery.

3. Getting Started
Read this section of the manual to learn how to set up your MZ-1/8 Panel and program System
Settings over the Web page.
3.1. System Deployment
The Control Panel is designed to be wall mounted, follow guidelines below when planning
installation location:
The Control Panel requires Ethernet connection; depending on the model, a SIM card may
be required.
The Control Panel should be installed at a location that is hidden from outside view.
Avoid mounting the Control Panel near large metal objects which may affect wireless radio
strength
The Control Panel should be protected by sensors so that no intruder can reach the Control
Panel without activating first activating sensor.
When using ZigBee routers to improve ZigBee network coverage, remember to use only
ZigBee Router with backup batteries for security sensors. If you use a Router without
backup battery for security sensors, the Router will be powered down in case of AC failure,
and you security sensors will lose connection with the ZigBee network.
Home Automation devices (Power Switches…etc) do not have this limit and can be used
with any Router.
