- Paradox HUB2-E9R Hub and Bus Isolator Board Paradox HUB2-E9R Hub and Bus Isolator Board
- Description
The Paradox HUB2-E9R (formerly APR3-HUB2) is a specialized communication bus hub and signal isolator module designed to extend total wiring distances and provide fault isolation for Paradox security control panel networks. Engineered for extensive commercial and residential installations, the HUB2 splits a single 4-wire communication bus line into two completely isolated output branches.
By regenerating system communication signals, each output port can extend bus wiring up to 900 meters (3,000 feet) for Digiplex EVO systems. The isolated architecture prevents system-wide network failures: if a short circuit, wiring ground fault, or tamper event occurs on one output branch, the HUB2 automatically isolates the troubled line so the remaining output branch and the main control panel continue operating normally. Because the HUB2 is a non-addressable module, multiple hubs can be daisy-chained across the bus network without consuming system module address slots.
Key System Features & Functionality
-
Dual Completely Isolated Bus Outputs: Splits 1 combus input line into 2 independent, galvanically isolated output branches.
-
Automatic Fault Isolation: Isolates short circuits, wiring faults, or physical tampering on one branch while keeping the other branch fully operational.
-
Extended Bus Wiring Reach: Signal regeneration capability extends bus wiring up to 900 m (3,000 ft) per output line on EVO systems.
-
Transparent Non-Addressable Module: Operates without using up control panel module address capacity, allowing flexible multi-hub expansion.
-
Onboard Status LED Diagnostics: Features Watchdog (WDG), Network Error, and Data activity LEDs for instant visual troubleshooting.
-
Universal Panel Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with Paradox Digiplex EVO (EVO192 / EVOHD), Spectra SP, and Magellan MG control panel combus networks.
