- Paradox PGM4-P2C 4-PGM Output Expansion Module Paradox PGM4-P2C 4-PGM Output Expansion Module
- Description
The Paradox PGM4-P2C is a compact 4-output programmable expansion module designed to extend the automation and control capabilities of Paradox alarm control panels. Adding 4 fully programmable relay outputs (PGMs) to compatible Paradox EVO, Spectra SP, and Magellan MG series security systems, the PGM4 allows installers to integrate external devices and automated workflows seamlessly.
Outputs can be triggered automatically based on system events (such as alarm activation, partition arming/disarming, or specific zone conditions) or manually via keypads and mobile apps (Insite Gold / BlueEye). Equipped with Form C relay contacts supporting up to 5A / 24VDC, diagnostic LED indicators for each output, and a simple 4-wire combus interface, the PGM4-P2C provides a dependable, high-power switching solution for garage doors, lighting, gates, and external sirens.
Key System Features & Functionality
-
4 Programmable Relay Outputs: Adds 4 dry contact relay outputs (Form C, NO/NC/COM) rated at 5A / 24 VDC for high-current automation control.
-
Event-Driven & Manual Activation: Relays can be configured to respond to alarm states, trouble events, or user commands via keypads and mobile applications.
-
Individual Diagnostic LEDs: Onboard status LEDs provide instant visual feedback for power, combus communication, and active relay outputs.
-
4-Wire Combus Interface: Connects directly to the 4-wire keypad/expansion bus on Paradox EVO, Spectra SP, and Magellan MG control panels.
-
Programmable Deactivation Timers: Supports timed pulse outputs (1 second to 255 minutes) or latched toggle operation.
-
Cover & Wall Tamper Protection: Built-in anti-tamper switches report module tampering or removal directly to the main control panel.
