- Paradox PGM82-P2C 8-PGM Output Expansion Module Paradox PGM82-P2C 8-PGM Output Expansion Module
- Description
The Paradox PGM82-P2C is an 8-output programmable expansion module engineered to expand the automation and control capabilities of Paradox alarm panels. It adds 8 fully programmable relay outputs (PGMs) to compatible Paradox EVO, Spectra SP, and Magellan MG series control panels. Each output can be configured to trigger external devices based on system events, such as opening garage doors, activating siren strobes, controlling access locks, or triggering lighting systems and HVAC units.
Housed in a protective plastic enclosure with clear diagnostic LED indicators for each output, the PGM82-P2C connects directly to the panel’s 4-wire keypad combus. It features flexible relay configuration options (Form C relays supporting up to 4A / 24VDC), pulse/latch activation timing, and manual output control via the panel keypad or mobile app (Insite Gold / BlueEye). With built-in cover and wall tamper protection and on-site firmware upgradability via InField software, it delivers professional reliability for residential and commercial automation integrations.
Key System Features & Functionality
-
8 Programmable Relay Outputs: Expands the control panel by adding 8 dry contact relay outputs (Form C, 4A / 24 VDC) for external automation and signaling.
-
Flexible Event Triggers: Outputs can be independently programmed to activate on alarm events, arming/disarming status, zone conditions, or manual user commands.
-
Individual Status LED Indicators: Onboard diagnostic LEDs provide instant visual confirmation for the active/inactive state of each individual relay.
-
4-Wire Combus Integration: Connects seamlessly to the 4-wire keypad/expansion bus on Paradox EVO, Spectra SP, and Magellan control panels.
-
Deactivatable Inputs & Timers: Programmable pulse duration (1 second to 255 minutes) or latched toggling per individual output.
-
Tamper Protection: Built-in enclosure cover and wall tamper switches alert the central panel if the unit is opened or removed from the wall.
