Page 3: Introduction
Page : 3 of 23 1. INTRODUCTION The KNX interface module EVO-KNX is a KNX gateway for the Paradox EVO alarm systems. It enables bidirectional communication with the alarm system using the RS232 communication module (PRT3) from Paradox. It allows integrators to take advantage of a fully integrated alarm system including KNX scenarios, automatic lighting using the motion detectors, arming or monitoring the system using a KNX visualization. -

Page 18: Configuration
ELAUSYS devices are configured using the ETS tool. You should first download and install the free version of ETS tool before you continue. The EVO-KNX Interface must be assigned a physical address on the KNX network. Assign a free address to the module, in our example we choose 1.1.50. - Page 19 Doc.Ref : EVO-KNX-UM Revision : 2.01 EVO-KNX – Paradox KNX Interface Page : 19 of 23 Enable the required group objects and select the number of PG, zone and areas to be used. Note that the Paradox system is limited to 30 PGMs and only PGM status is available (no PG control).
