External Module
Tamper Switch
(N.C.)
The ZX32D 32-zone Expansion Module connects to the
Imperial control panel’s Combus and acts as an interface
between the control panel and any hardwired detection
devices. The ZX32D also includes an external 16/24Vac
or 24Vdc power supply input that can be used to power
connected devices.
Compatibility
Installation
The ZX32D is a
standard 35mm DIN
rail module. Using the
supplied DIN rail, the
ZX32D can be
mounted in any
location. Alternatively,
it can be mounted in
a standard DIN rail
enclosure. To attach
the module, align the
top of the DIN rail as
shown in Figure 1 and apply pressure to the module until
it clicks into place. To remove the ZX32D from a DIN rail,
pull the release clip and remove the module.
To facilitate installation and servicing, the ZX32D
terminals can be detached from the module. Wires can
be labeled using the supplied tie wraps.
NOTE: The ZX32D does not support ATZ zone doubling.
Upgrading the Firmware
The ZX32D firmware can be upgraded through WinLoad
using the CV4USB RS-485/RS-232 Converter. Refer to
the firmware upgrade instructions found at: paradox.com

LOC Button
The ZX32D LOC button is used to enter Test Mode (see page 2).
A Module Locate can be performed using section [4002] (EVO) or [952] (DGP-48
/ DGP-848). To end a module locate, press and hold LOC for 2 seconds.
Manual Controls
The ZX32D supplies 1A to power security system modules. By pressing the AUX
button, the 13.8Vdc auxiliary power supply can be manually activated (LED green)
or deactivated (LED off), allowing modules to be powered down without shutting
down the control panel. If input power is lost, the AUX buttons will stop functioning.
When power is restored, the button will resume its previous state.

Mode 5 Zone test RX flashes x 5 Entering Mode 5 illuminates all connected zones. When a zone is triggered, the corresponding zone
LED will turn off, indicating correct wiring.
Base Time Selection - Even-numbered sections Time Value - Odd-numbered sections
Even-numbered sections represent the base time selection for inputs
terminals Z1 to Z32. Using the [T] and [S] keys, select a base time* value
from 000 to 002. To save and proceed to the next section, Press [
ENTER].
Odd-numbered sections represent time value for inputs Z1 to Z32. Enter a
3-digit decimal time value (000 to 255). Multiply by the selected base time.
