- Paradox SP6000PLUS-M8X Spectra SP+ 8 to 32-Zone Alarm Control Panel PCB (No Box) Paradox SP6000PLUS-M8X Spectra SP+ 8 to 32-Zone Alarm Control Panel PCB (No Box)
- Description
The Paradox SP6000PLUS-M8X is an advanced, high-performance 8 to 32-zone security control panel board from the upgraded Spectra SP+ series. Engineered for medium to large-scale residential and commercial security installations, the SP6000PLUS provides 8 hardwired zone inputs directly on-board (expandable to 16 zones using ATZ Zone Doubling) and scales up to 32 zones total via hardwired expansion modules (ZX8) or wireless expansion receivers (RTX3 / RX1).
Built on Paradox's enhanced SP+ board architecture, it delivers faster processing, reduced standby power consumption, and improved auxiliary power output (up to 700 mA with auto-resetting electronic fuse protection). Fully supporting Paradox's patented StayD technology for continuous 24/7 perimeter protection, it manages up to 2 independent partitions, 32 user codes, and features 2 or 4 onboard PGM outputs. The SP6000PLUS-M8X connects seamlessly to modern IP communicators (IP180 / IP150+), cellular LTE dialers (PCS series), and voice modules (VDMP3). The "M8X" designation specifies the standalone main board variant without a metal enclosure box, ideal for board replacements, panel upgrades, or custom enclosure setups.
