This manual covers the installation, programming, and control of IP based MZ-1 and MZ-8
control panels. Both MZ-1 and MZ-8 supports full range IP reporting capability with webpage for
setting configuration and system control, MZ-8 also has the extra function of reporting through
RF.
The advanced IP Security System with fully integrated TCP/IP technology and Ethernet
connectivity is able to take full advantage of new advances in IP Home Security and Home
Automation and multi-path signalling.
Remote control of the panel is achieved by registering the panel in our Home Portal Server.
With Home Portal Server, you can connect to your panel anytime, anywhere in the world
through internet connection either with a computer or a smartphone using our Vesta Home
application. Please refer to our Home Portal User Guide for detail about registering and using
Home Portal Server.
Remote programming and command is also available for MZ-8 to configure your panel by

An AC power adapter is required to connect to a wall outlet. Be sure only to use an adapter with
the appropriate AC voltage rating to prevent component damage. DC 12V 1A switching power
output adaptor is generally used to power the Control Panel for standard version.
Rechargeable Battery
In addition to the adapter, there is a rechargeable battery inside the Control Panel, which
serves as a back up in case of a power failure.
During normal operation, the AC power adapter is used to supply power to the Control
Panel and at the same time recharge the battery. It takes approximately 72 hours to fully
charge the battery.
<<NNOOTTEE>>
If the AC power is missing and the battery is near exhaustion, a low battery message
will be displayed and the internal siren will be disabled to conserve power.
