ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
In proper state and when operated properly, the product complies
with all the requirements in respect of interference radiation
according to EN 301 489-17, EN 301 489-1 and EN 300 328. The
connections conducting HF signals must neither be manipulated
nor damaged.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SAFETY
Display extreme caution when using ladders or steps, please
follow manufacturer's instructions. Be careful when using hand
and power tools and follow the manufacturer's guidelines when
using them. Take care that the correct tools are used. Wear
goggles or protective clothing where required.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
All work on the device should only be carried out by trained and
skilled electricians. Observe the country-specific regulations.
CAUTION
The connected devices and the flush-mounted receiver can
become damaged if devices are operated that do not correspond
to the technical specifications (see technical data).
DANGER
RISK OF FATAL INJURY FROM ELECTRIC CURRENT.
The device has no basic insulation and must therefore be installed
in a way that protects against accidental contact.
DANGER
RISK OF FATAL INJURY FROM ELECTRIC CURRENT.
When installing a wall plate, the distance between the cover's fixing
brackets or screws and the connections of the flush - mounted MM
Switch Single must be at least 4 mm once installed. If the distance is
less than 4 mm, a deeper installation box must be used. The fixing
brackets or screws of the cover must not press against the housing.
Only insulated tools may be used for operation on the device, e.g. an
insulated phase tester.

COMPATIBILITY
This Expansion Module is designed to work only with Zipabox.
HANDLING
Do not drop, knock or shake the module. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards and connectors.
ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose the module to excessive heat or cold, as it can damage
or shorten the life of electronic circuit boards.
UNPACKING
Zipabox Security Expansion Module consists of:
1x Security Module
12x resistors of 5.6kΩ value (see section 3.1 Zone Wiring [Z1-Z6])
2x resistors of 1kΩ value (see section 3.3 Supervised Bell/Siren Output).
If possible, dispose this module at a recycling center.
Do not dispose of this module with the household waste.

SIMPLE WIRED ALARM
The most basic wired alarm system is a closed circuit system:
Alarm
Door/Window
Sensor
Copper Wires
Door to outside Window door
Glass Break
Sensor
In this basic security system, all switches have normally closed
(NC) contacts. All switches are in a wiring loop. When the doors
and windows are shut, switches attached to them are closed.
Opening any one of the switches breaks the loop and triggers the
alarm circuit. The alarm will also activate if the loop is broken – if
wire is cut, alarm will activate.
WIRED ALARM SYSTEM
Modern alarm panels are advanced versions of the basic system
outlined above – they usually support multiple wired zones, lead acid
battery backup (for power blackouts), external siren and advanced
user interface (graphical display). Each wired zone can be used as
make your home smart
in the simple alarm system outlined above – as a closed circuit with
all switches wired in a loop. Zipabox Security module implements
essential features of a wired alarm panel.
3.0 FEATURES
Zipabox Security Module supports adds wired alarm functionality
to Zipabox. Security module adds support for:
6 wired zones
1 optically isolated 12V input
1 supervised wired bell/siren output
1 programmable output
1 supervised 12V auxiliary power supply for powered wired
sensors
1 USB port
1 serial/UART port, user selectable between RS-232 mode and
half-duplex RS-485 mode
1 lead acit batter charger (when using Security Module as a basis
for an alarm system, the Backup Module can not provide enough
voltage to support wired sensors/siren and can not be used to
power Zipabox and modules in case of a power failure. Please use
SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery for power backup with Security
module)
