General settings
Set these options in the General section of the device Parameters tab. The availability limits for this product take precedence over the generic ETS options.
| Parameter | Values | Configuration guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Use PG Control | Not used (default) / Used | This parameter must be set to “Not used” for the paradox EVO interface. PG Control is not available on this device. |
| Use PG Status | Not used (default) / Used | When this parameter is set to “Used”, the PG status group objects are made available. |
| Number of PG | 16 (default) / 32 | Number of PG control and status group objects to be used |
| Use Zone Status | Not used / Used (default) | When this parameter is set to “Used”, the zone status group objects are made available. |
| Number of zones | 16 (default) / 32 / 48 / 64 / 72 / 96 | Number of zone status group objects to be used. |
| Zones offset | 0 (default) / 96 | An offset of 0 will use zones 1 to 96 from the alarm system whereas an offset of 96 will use zones 97 to 192 |
| Use Virtual inputs | Not used (default) / Used | When this parameter is set to “Used”, the virtual inputs group objects are made available. |
| Number of areas | 1 (default) / 2 / 3 / 4 | Number of areas to control/monitor from the KNX interface |
| Send area status | ON / OFF / ON/OFF (default) | Area status object can be configured to send only the changes to ON values, only the changes to OFF values or both ON and OFF values |
| User code | Text field (format 123456) | When using control commands from KNX, a valid user code of up to 6 digits is required. This applies to area control (arm, disarm,…) |
| User code length | 4..6 | Number of digits for the user code |
| Use Power supply status | Not used (default) / Used | When this parameter is set to “Used”, the power supply status group objects are made available. |
| PG and Zone startup behavior | Switch OFF (default) / Switch ON / Memory | Internal status of group object after restart. Memory will restore the state of group objects before power loss. |
| Device Options | Text string | Device options are not available on this device. |
Functional settings
PGM status
PG Status must be enabled in the general parameters to enable PGM status group objects. Depending on the general parameter “Number of PG”, 16 or 32 PGs are listed in the group objects. The Paradox alarm system however uses a maximum of 30 PGM.
The status of each PGM from the Paradox alarm system can be monitored by a Group object. The PGM can be configured in the Paradox system to send status based on specific events.
Zone status
Depending on the general parameter “Number of zones”, up to 96 zones are listed in the group objects.
The status of each zone from the Paradox alarm system can be monitored by a Group object.
The general parameter “Zones offset” allows the use of zones 1 to 96 from the alarm system or zones 97 to 192.
Virtual inputs
When enabled in the general parameters, 16 virtual inputs are listed in the group objects.
Each virtual input can be controlled by a KNX Group object. The virtual input is configured in the Paradox system in order to trigger specific events.
Sending a value “1” to the group object means “Zone open”, sending a value “0” means “Zone OK”.
Area settings and scenes
Depending on the general parameter “Number of areas”, up to 4 areas are listed in the group objects.
Each area can be controlled by using the 3 group objects: Arm, partial arm or disarm. Several statuses are available and have a dedicated group object.
| CONTROL OBJECT | VALUE ON | VALUE OFF |
|---|---|---|
| Arm (switch) | Arm | Disarm |
| Partial arm (switch) | Partial Arm | Disarm |
| Disarm (trigger) | Disarm | Disarm |
For each area, a tab is made visible to configure the area parameters.
Areas are configured for areas 1 to 4 of the alarm system but by changing the parameter “Area mapping” it is also possible to cover the areas 5 to 8.
A scene can be assigned to each status. This scene number will be recalled each time the area status is active (ON).
Leave the scene number to 0 to disable the scene control.
