- Paradox SP4000-D6Q Spectra SP 4 to 32-Zone Alarm Control Panel PCB (No Box) Paradox SP4000-D6Q Spectra SP 4 to 32-Zone Alarm Control Panel PCB (No Box)
- Description
The Paradox SP4000-D6Q is a compact, expandable 4 to 32-zone security control panel board designed for reliable residential and small commercial intrusion detection. As the core processing unit of the renowned Spectra SP series, the SP4000 provides 4 hardwired zone inputs on-board, which can be doubled to 8 zones using zone doubling (ATZ), and expanded up to 32 zones using hardwired or wireless expansion modules (such as the ZX8 / RTX3).
Engineered to support Paradox’s patented StayD technology, the SP4000-D6Q provides continuous 24/7 protection by keeping perimeter zones active while permitting safe movement within interior areas. It features 2 independent partitions, support for up to 32 user codes, 1 Programmable Output (PGM), and seamless compatibility with IP modules (IP150+), cellular communicators (PCS250), and voice dialers (VDMP3). This "D6Q" variant is supplied as a standalone main circuit board (PCB only) without a metal enclosure, making it ideal for system retrofits, board replacements, or custom enclosure assemblies.
