Chapter 1: System Introduction

In this chapter:• Overview (see page 4)• System Capacity (see page 5)• System Diagrams and Wiring Tips (see page 6)

Overview The Imperial system is designed to offer true integration of home automation with energy management features, access control, security, and the latest communication technology, combined with user-friendly programming, easy maintenance, operation, and site supervision. Imperial’s system architecture is designed to be simple, easy to install and troubleshoot, thus reducing labor and costs related to installation, programming and maintenance. All system control modules are fully upgradeable through the communication bus, and are packaged in a standard DIN Rail assembly, resulting in an installation that saves space, provides easy access and replacement, and offers a nice visual presentation of the system. The Imperial system provides a solution that fully adapts to any need, whether for private residential living or commercial management.

MAMA Home Automation Imperial home automation is managed by the MAMA automation engine. MAMA offers full on/off control of both AC (110/220V) and DC devices, such as lighting, motors, and pumps. MAMA also offers dimming control of incandescent and fluorescent lights, powerful progressive shutter control (not just open/close), and full sprinkler/

irrigation control.

With Imperial's unique system integration, every MAMA controller output can be controlled manually, or driven by a macro which can be activated by a system event, timing, sunset/sunrise, or sensor input. The powerful MAMA automation engine was designed with flexibility and expandability in mind. Additional features can easily

be added to complement changing lifestyles and needs. Imperial has a maximum capacity of 512 outputs and 384 inputs.

Access ControlIndependent of the rest of the system, Imperial access control provides uninterrupted, fail-safe operation, even when another portion of the system is down for service or upgrade. With capacity of up to 64 doors and 4,000 cards, Imperial provides ultra-fast response time and provides easy user maintenance and access features. With Imperial’s unique integration, all readers can also arm/disarm the security system as well as control any MAMA output.

SecurityBased on the well-proven EVO security system, Imperial provides true uncompromised security for up to 32 separate partitions using up to 384 zones.

CommunicationsFor security reporting, the Imperial system includes a landline connection as well as built-in TCP/IP communication. The TCP/IP port also allows you to quickly access, program and operate the system, perform uploading/downloading, and upgrade system modules with minimum down time.

System HardwareThe Imperial integrated system is managed by the V32 Main Controller, which features an expandable, secured and encrypted communication bus. This ‘Multibus’ provides reliable communication for home automation and security. The V32 also features independent RS485 communication bus for access control expansion. Up to 511 modules can be connected to the two communication busses. Innovative and unique, the firmware of all Imperial modules that are connected to the Multibus or RS485 Access port are remotely upgradeable via fast communication either locally or remotely through the internet. The V32 runs on a private operating system, which makes it more reliable and immune to hacker attacks, viruses, and crashes since it does not rely on Windows® or standard computer hardware. Advanced encryption technology is offered on the V32 thanks to its built-in TCP/IP connection with advanced password management.

Imperial System Guide 4

With its innovative plug-and-play approach, installed modules may not need to be accessed by a technician physically; all can be done remotely through the system bus, which keeps downtime to a minimum should a system upgrade be needed. Multibus wire range can be extended by 1000m (3,000ft) using the HUB4D Hub and Bus Isolator Module. Imperial can conveniently replace traditional wiring systems, or can be installed using 4-wire system bus configurations (see ’System Diagrams and Wiring Tips’ on page 6). All modules include self-diagnostics and status displays to simplify installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

BabyWare SoftwareThe powerful and user-friendly BabyWare software provides programming, control, and monitoring of the site. Some features include: Multiple user connections (up to 8), complete backup utilities, troubleshooting and support tools.

Future ExpansionAll system modules are designed with extra processing speed and memory capacity for future expansion. Therefore, systems purchased today, can be upgraded and expanded to add new features as they are introduced.

System RecoveryImperial provides extremely fast recovery time in case of failure. Here are some examples:

• Replace a V32 Main Controller and download a backup from BabyWare in approximately 15 minutes. • Replace an ACM24D and upload a backup of all its cards and events in under 20 minutes. • Complete replace BabyWare with a full system backup in approximately 15 minutes.

System Diagrams and Wiring TipsThe Imperial system can be installed and wired as a traditional centralized wiring system, as a bus system with hub separation, or using a combination of the two methods. Thanks to the system’s flexibility there is a wiring solution to match the installation’s needs based on different considerations, such as cost, number of modules, security, ease of installation, ease of troubleshooting, and future expandability.

Imperial Bus Wiring (daisy chain)Connect all control modules, including detection devices (e.g. PIR or door contact), throughout the site on a secured 4-wire bus using standard wiring (16 to 24AWG). Refer to Bus Wiring Diagram on page 7.

Pros• Highest possible security across the entire installation• Easiest and most flexible way to add modules• Point-to-point connections use less wiring and result in a fast, cost-efficient and simple installation

Cons• In the case of a wiring failure or hub output failure, all modules connected on the same bus wire are affected; this

can be improved by grouping fewer modules per hub output and by using more hubs to divide system areas or functions. Additional cost incurred using this method can be offset by wire savings and ease of connection

• Troubleshooting is more difficult since more modules are affected by a wiring failure

Traditional Wiring (panel to module)All control modules are wired in the same location (secured room), while conventional detection devices (e.g. PIR or door contact) are distributed throughout the site and are wired back to a zone expansion module. Refer to Secured Room System on page 8.

Pros• Easy to identify and repair any wiring issues

Cons• Cost of installation, wiring, and labor is higher than a bus installation due to increased number of wires and

connections• Difficult to add new devices to the installation (requires new wire runs)

Recommendations• In general, it is preferable to run bus wiring, but with the fewest bus modules connected to each hub output; however

this increases cost and should be considered with regards to budget.• Module wiring that runs outdoors should be connected via an isolated hub module (HUB4D). • When possible, each partition should be separated by a HUB4D moduleNOTE: Please refer to individual module instructions for specific installation guidelines.

Combus Wiring RequirementsFor all installations, please use the following wiring requirements to ensure that the bus communication signal remains reliable.

Use Four-Wire CableEnsure that all wires (red, black, green, and yellow) run in the same cable. Separated wires will result in disrupted bus communication.

Use Unshielded CableCable shielding greatly increases wire capacitance, thus reducing bus communication signal strength. For installations that require shielded cable, it is recommended that a HUB4D module be installed after a 460 meter (1500 ft.) cable run.

Use 4-Wire CableR B G Y

Unshielded Cable

False AlarmsUse the following information to ensure a problem-free installation. Failure to do so may result in system instability and increased false alarms generated by the system

Protective FeaturesIn order to protect against unauthorized programming:• Ensure that the default admin password is changed• Ensure that system programming is performed by authorized personnel only

Reducing False AlarmsIn order to reduce the occurrence of false alarms caused by faulty installation:• Install all hardware according to the provided instructions• Ensure that the installation has been checked for loose wiring• Ensure that all hardware is supplied with the correct voltage• When installing door contacts, ensure that the reed switch is mounted on the door frame, not the door itself• When installing motion detectors, avoid placing the detector near the following sources of interference: reflective

surfaces, direct air flow from vents, fans, windows, sources of steam, oil vapor, infrared light sources and objects causing temperature changes such as heaters, refrigerators and ovens. When installing motion detectors with Pet Immunity, do not place objects or furniture higher than 0.9m (3ft), which a pet can climb onto (e.g. a cat on a couch) at least 2.1m (7ft) from the detector. In addition, do not aim the detector at a stairway to which a pet may have access.

Chapter 2: Main System Features

In this chapter:• MAMA Home Automation (see page 9)• Access Control (see page 12)• Security (see page 13)• Communication (see page 13)• BabyWare Software (see page 13)

MAMA Home AutomationImperial home automation is managed by the MAMA engine using MAMA bus modules, which are divided into two module groups: • Output modules: drive all high or low voltage outputs (max 512 outputs)• User interface devices: user controls such as wall switches and dimmers (max 511 modules)Together these modules offer full control of lights, motors, shutters, sprinklers, pumps, and more. Programmed through BabyWare, each user interface device can be programmed to activate a single output or a group of outputs. There is no limit to the number of wall switches that can be installed, other than the system's maximum of 511 bus modules. The system also allows the creation of automated output activation scenarios called macros. Macros can be programmed to be activated by system events (arming/disarming), timing, sunset/sunrise or sensor input.

High voltage wiring is not connected directly to user interface devices (e.g. wall switch) as in regular electrical systems. While some output modules might be wired to high voltage and might be in an electrical room or box, all user interface devices are driven by a low-voltage bus. It the electrical room, the MAMA modules will be connected to the high/low voltage outputs and will be controlled through low-voltage bus communication. Since the user interface devices use low-voltage bus communication, they can be installed anywhere including wet areas or outdoors (avoiding direct sunlight, or exposure to rain/snow). To control high voltage outputs, all high voltage wiring must be wired into the electrical room(s) by a certified electrician to comply with local codes. All wall switches can be duplicated and up to 510 switches and dimmer knobs can be programmed to control a single MAMA output, as opposed to a maximum 3 switches or 1 dimmer knob in regular electrical systems. See Figure 3 on page 10 for an example.

To avoid flickering in a 3-phase installation, all dimmer modules in the same electrical box should be connected to the same phase. Separate electrical boxes should be used for other phases. Also, wires running together to the loads should be connected to dimmer modules on the same phase. It is highly recommended to power the MAMA modules (HV8D, LV8D, DIM1D, and DIM4D) using an external source (e.g. PS100D or PS27D) and NOT from the Multibus to avoid flickering of the output in case of a loss of bus power. Flickering can cause damage to electrical appliances connected to the outputs.

All output modules and user interface devices are duplicated in BabyWare to easily program, monitor, and control the system through a PC. Setting up programming, for example, to turn off all lights upon arming or when there is no movement, is simple with the MAMA control engine.


Figure 3: Conventional vs. MAMA Wiring

Preparing the Site for MAMA WiringIn order to prepare the a site for MAMA control, it is important to run all high voltage wiring to one or multiple electrical room(s)/box(es). From there, the MAMA controller modules will be connected to the high voltage devices via the system communication bus.

Light ControlImperial provides a complete lighting control system which is managed by the MAMA engine to provide comfort, security and energy management. MAMA offers full on/off control, and dimming control of incandescent lights, and fluorescent lights (with ballasts). To save energy, all lights can be programmed to activate or deactivate based on a variety of parameters, such as a schedule, time delays, sunset/sunrise, and system events.

HV8D: 8 Channel Motor Control ModuleThe HV8D has 8 outputs that can drive incandescent lights for on/off operation. The HV8D has the capacity to drive incandescent lamps of up to 10A per channel @ 110 VAC / 230 VAC (max 50A per module). The HV8D module also includes buttons to manually activate/deactivate each output locally, should a bus failure occur.

DIM1D: 1 Channel Dimmer ModuleThe DIM1D is a single output dimmer module that is capable of dimming 0-10 V fluorescent lights and dimmable incandescent lights with a maximum load of 4.5 A (500 W @ 120 VAC / 1000 W @ 230 VAC). The DIM1D also offers dimming control of Mark X fluorescent lights. The DIM1D module includes buttons to manually dim the output locally. For more detailed information, refer to page 33.

DIM4D: 4 Channel Dimmer ModuleThe DIM4D is a 4-output dimmer module that is capable of dimming incandescent lights with a maximum load of 4.5A (500 W @ 120 VAC / 1000W @ 230 VAC) per channel with a maximum of 15A per module. The DIM4D module includes buttons to manually dim each output locally. For more detailed information, refer to page 29.


Wall SwitchesEach button or dial on a wall switch can be programmed to control a single output or multiple outputs in any combination (including outputs not related to lights). Up to 510 wall switches can control one output. Outputs can be controlled by any wall switch in the system as well as through the BabyWare PC software. For more detailed information and available models, refer to pages 46-61.• Simple on/off control of the MAMA module outputs can be performed through any wall switch in the system as well

as through the BabyWare PC software. For example, pressing a button can turn on the lights in the living room and dim the lights to a preset level in the dining room for entertaining. Macros can be activated by timers or system events and can be started/stopped by a wall switch.

• Dimming of lights can be performed with the MAMA module outputs through any dial/dimmer wall switch in the system as well as through the BabyWare PC software.

• Unique to MAMA, the current dimming level can be saved by pushing and holding the dial on a dimmer wall switch. The next time the dial is pushed it will automatically set the lights to the saved dimming level.

• Dimmer dials can be used to set the desired dimming level without having to wait for the light intensity to adjust, the system will adjust automatically including the displays on all controlling devices.

Typical Lighting Automation Controls• Lights can be driven by any system event. For example, all lights can turn on in the event of an alarm. • Lights can be driven by sunrise/sunset following the location's time zone as well as providing a delay before or

after. For example, landscaping lights can turn on at sunset and turn off 1 hour before sunrise.• Lights can be activated or deactivated based on time of day. For example, if office personnel start at 8:00am, the

lights can turn on at 7:45am every morning from Monday to Friday.• Lights can be fully automated. For example, a light can be programmed to turned on when a motion detector

detects movement and turn off a light when no motion is detected for a period of time.

SprinklersImperial provides a complete sprinkler control system, which is managed by the MAMA engine, to automatically and precisely water a garden or landscaping at programmable intervals. A special sprinkler macro screen has been designed in BabyWare to easily setup the sprinkler system intervals. Using BabyWare, any number of valves can be set to activate in parallel. If there is not enough water pressure, the valves can activate in sequence. This can be performed manually or following a specific schedule. With BabyWare any number of independent macros (groups of valves and schedules) can be set for different zones of the watering location. Each output has its own watering period and each macro (group of outputs) can be programmed with a seasonal watering feature that can reduce watering time.

LV8D: 8 Output Low-Voltage Relay ModuleThe LV8D has 8 solid-state relay outputs that can drive sprinkler valves with a capacity up to 500 mA per output @ 0-24 V AC/DC. The LV8D module also includes buttons to manually activate/deactivate each output locally. For more detailed information, refer to page 41.

HV8D: 8 Channel Motor Control ModuleThe HV8D has 8 high-voltage relay outputs that can drive sprinkler valves with a capacity of up to 10 A per output @ 110 VAC / 230 VAC (max 50 A per module). The HV8D module also includes buttons to manually activate/deactivate each output locally. For more detailed information, refer to page 37.

ShuttersImperial provides a complete shutter control solution which is managed by the MAMA engine, providing comfort, security and energy management. MAMA offers unique control of shutters that can open/close shutters or blinds to multiple positions and not only fully open or fully closed. A short, one-time calibration is required per shutter for efficient control. These controls can be applied to any moving device using proportional movement, such as motors and proportional valves.

HV8D: 8 Channel Motor Control ModuleThe HV8D has 8 high-voltage relay outputs that can drive up to 4 shutter motors (maximum 1/2hp motor) with a capacity of up to 8 A per output @ 110 VAC / 230 VAC. The HV8D module also includes buttons to manually activate/deactivate each output locally. For more detailed information, refer to page 37. • Emergency Stop: The HV8D includes an emergency stop input for each controlled motor. This allows for a device

such as an IR detector to be connected to stop the motor when motion is detected. The motor will also stop when the dial on the dimmer wall switch is pushed.

• Global Up/Down: By connecting a 2-way momentary switch, all connected shutter motors can be activated together.

• Local Bus (future use)


Wall SwitchesEach dial on a dimmer wall switch can be programmed to control a single output or multiple outputs in any combination (including outputs not related to shutters). Up to 510 wall switches can control one output. Outputs can be controlled by any wall switch in the system and through BabyWare. For more detailed information and available models, refer to pages 54 to 58.• Open/close, or open to a preset height motorized shutters with the MAMA module outputs through any dimmer wall

switch in the system and through the BabyWare PC software. • Unique to MAMA, the current shutter position can be saved by pushing and holding the dial on the dimmer wall

switch. The next time the dial is pushed it will automatically set the shutter to the saved position.

Typical Automated Controls• Shutters can be driven by any system event. For example, all shutters can close upon arming. • Shutters can be driven by sunrise/sunset following the location's time zone as well as providing a delay before or

after. For example, shutters can close 2 hours after sunset.• Shutters can be activated or deactivated based on time of day (schedule).

MacrosWith Imperial, every output in the system can be programmed to activate or deactivate when a certain condition or group of conditions in the system are met. These conditions, or ‘macros’ can include system events, timers, sunrise/sunset, or sensor input. Each MAMA output module can be used in up to 16 macros. Macros are ideal for setting up an energy management system as outputs are controlled without manual intervention. For example, lights can be turned on automatically when someone walks into a room and can turn off when there is no movement for a period of time. In fact, no switches are needed in this case to turn on or off the lights. In each macro, select which output(s) will be controlled and select which trigger(s), such as system events and/or schedules that will activate or deactivate the selected outputs.

Access ControlThe Imperial system's access control architecture provides control for up to 64 doors with a capacity for up to 4,000 users/cards while providing ultra-fast response time.

Stand-Alone OperationThe ACM24D access control modules are completely independent from the rest of the system (communicate on separate RS485 bus), and manage all access control functions internally, while the V32 Main Controller is used mainly to store the access events (8,000), programming, and to communicate other system events.

Fail-Safe OperationThe ACM24D access control modules provide fail-safe operation should the panel go offline by managing its access control functions internally and by accumulating up to 1,000 local access events.

Easy WiringUnique to Imperial is the simple and cost-efficient wiring system. The ACM24D access control module is connected to the V32 Main Controller and up to four card readers per module using simple 4-wire connections.

64 Access Rights and 256 Access SchedulesThe Imperial access control system provides up to 64 access rights profiles, which define who has access to which door(s), and 256 access schedules, which define during what period of time a specific door can be accessed.

Door TrapUsed in high-security areas, a door trap application prevents one door from opening before another is closed. Typical Door Trap applications include: detention facilities, courtrooms, financial center access control, clean rooms, and more.

System IntegrationIn addition to controlling access to selected doors, the Imperial access control system can integrate other functions, such as arming and disarming with an access card, or activating different outputs (e.g. office lights) for different events (e.g. zone open).


SecurityBased on the well-proven EVO security system, Imperial can protect up to 32 separate partitions using up to 384 zones, 250 user codes, and any number of keypads (limited to Multibus capacity of 511 modules). Specifically designed for software-based programming via BabyWare, all security system programming is fast, user friendly, and eliminates the need for time consuming keypad programming.

Wireless HardwareIf the installation includes the RTX3 Wireless Expansion Module, the system can support 2-way wireless hardware such as motion detectors and remote controls. For more information on adding wireless hardware, refer to the RTX3 Reference and Installation manual.

Common Features

DIN Rail EnclosuresAll Imperial modules are enclosed in a standard DIN rail plastic. A DIN rail or top-hat rail is a standardized metal rail used for mounting units in equipment racks or metal boxes. There are many benefits for this type of installation:• Using a standard DIN Rail metal box for system module installation is fast,

economical, orderly, and saves space. Wiring is convenient and easy to run and connect. Paradox offers a 60cmX76cmX20cm (23.6inX29.9inX7.9in) DIN Rail metal box with a plexiglass door and locking mechanism (DB608D) that can hold at least 12 modules including the Imperial panel and batteries.

• All DIN modules include removable connectors that make the service and replacement of modules convenient and fast

• All modules include manual/local control for testing and emergency operation• All modules includes label to identify each zone, door, or output• Installing the modules in the DIN rail metal box makes for a professional and

attractive installation

InstallationMount the DIN modules in the DIN metal box with a locking plexiglass door (DB608D). You can also use the supplied DIN rail to mount the unit in any adequate electrical box. To attach a module, align the top of the DIN rail as shown in Figure 15 and apply pressure to the module until it clicks into place. To remove the module from the DIN rail, pull the release clip and remove the module. To facilitate installation and servicing, the module terminals can be detached from the module.

Proper Labelling and IdentificationWe highly recommend that after pressing Locate and identifying the module, open the programming page and assign the proper physical location label. For MAMA home automation modules, it is important to label the output, the location of the output, and the circuit number. After complete connection, use the space provided on the module to indicate the description of the output.

Firmware UpgradeThe following instructions explain the firmware upgrade procedure for the Imperial V32 Main Controller and Imperial modules via the Multibus. Before beginning the firmware upgrade procedure, ensure that all partitions are disarmed and that the V32 Main Controller and the computer being used to perform the updates are both accessible through a LAN or WAN (paradoxmyhome.com). It is important to note that when performing a firmware upgrade, all V32 security functions will be offline for up to five minutes following the completion of the firmware upgrade procedure. Performing an upgrade on ACM24D modules connected to the RS485 Access bus will not affect V32 security functions

Relay vs. Shutter ModeIf, in BabyWare, the output is set to Light, Sprinkler, or Custom, it will function as a standard relay output. If, in BabyWare, the output is set to Shutter, the related outputs (Up/Down) will be paired for shutter operation. For more information, refer to Programming an HV8D Module on page 40. In the example below, outputs 1 and 2 are set to Relay Mode and outputs 3 to 8 are set to Shutter Mode.

Example of Combining Modes

Shutter CalibrationIf outputs are set to Shutter Mode (see Relay vs. Shutter Mode on page 39), the HV8D must be calibrated to match each shutter’s open and closed states. This calibration can be performed locally at the HV8D, or (recommended) using an Imperial Dimmer Wall Switch (see Shutter Calibration on page 39), or BabyWare (future use).

To calibrate the shutter outputs using the HV8D module:

1) To enter shutter calibration mode, press and hold both of the output pair’s buttons for four seconds. > The first LED is off, the second LED is solid. > The shutter closes.> The button pair now function as an UP and DOWN button for calibration.

2. When the shutter reaches the bottom, press the UP button. > The shutter opens.

3. When the shutter reaches the top, press the DOWN button. > The shutter closes again.

4. When the shutter reaches the bottom, press the UP button. > The shutter opens to about 50%.

5. If the shutter is not at exactly 50%, adjust it manually using the UP and DOWN buttons.

6. To exit and save shutter calibration mode, press and hold both buttons for one second.

NOTE: If no action is taken for four minutes, the HV8D module exits shutter calibration mode without saving.

Bi-directional Locate FeaturePressing and holding the LOC button for 3 seconds will initiate or abort the Module Locate feature. When a Module Locate is initiated, the module’s representation in BabyWare will flash and the module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will flash to indicate that it is in Locate Mode. A Module Locate can also be initiated or aborted from BabyWare. From BabyWare right-click the module’s representation and select Locate Physical. The module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will flash. After performing a Module Locate and identifying the module, open the programming page and assign the proper physical location label.

LV8D: 8 Output Low-Voltage Relay Module

DescriptionThe LV8D provides 8 solid-state relay outputs that can drive up to 500 mA each @ 0 to 24V AC/DC. Each set of 4 relays has a jumper-selectable power source. Power can be supplied by either 12 VDC Multibus power or an external 0-24V AC/DC power source.

LV8D outputs can be used to control external relays or to power low voltage devices, such as sprinkler valves, low voltage lights, door strikes, or devices equipped with a 24 VDC external trigger (e.g. air conditioners, thermostats, garage doors). When using an external 24V AC/DC power supply, the LV8D outputs can be used to drive 24V AC/DC relays.

Features• 8 solid-state relay outputs (0-24V AC/DC, 500 mA each)• Selectable relay supply (internal 12V or external max.

Certain devices e.g. air conditioners, thermostats, garage doors may be equipped with an external trigger. Triggers requiring 12 VDC and less than 100 mA can be driven directly from the LV8D output using 12 VDC Multibus power. For all other requirements e.g. current higher than 100 mA or different voltage, use an external power supply.

External PowerThe LV8D outputs can be used to drive 24V AC/DC relays when connected to an external 24V AC/DC power supply. NOTE: Wiring methods must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.WARNING: Do not supply external power to C1 if C1 jumper is on.

Do not supply external power to C2 if C1 jumper and C2 jumper are on.WARNING: It is highly recommended to power the module using an external source (e.g. PS100D or PS27D) and NOT from

the Multibus to avoid flickering of the output in case of a loss of bus power. Flickering may cause damage to electrical appliances connected to the outputs.

MSA8H/V: 8 Button Wall Switch

DescriptionThe MSA8H/V is designed to work with the Imperial system’s MAMA home automation engine. Each button can be programmed to control a single output, multiple outputs, or macros. The wall switch can provide on/off control of lights, sprinklers or macros, set lights to a fixed dimming level, or open motorized shutters to a preset height.

All wall switches are driven by the V32 Main Controller’s 4 wire low-voltage Multibus. This means that the high voltage wiring is not connected directly to the switch as in regular electrical systems. Since the wall switches use low-voltage bus communication, they can be installed anywhere including wet areas or outdoors (avoiding direct sunlight, or exposure to rain/snow).

Up to 510 wall switches can be programmed to control one output, as opposed to a maximum of 3 switches or 1 dimmer knob in regular electrical systems.

Features• 8 buttons to control outputs (lights, sprinklers, shutters,

etc.) or macros (group of outputs)• Multiple switches can control the same output (max.

510)• Custom designer colors available• Set in Toggle mode (1 button on/off) or Switch mode (1

button on / 1 button off)• Adjustable Day/Night LED brightness• Remote firmware upgrade via Multibus using RS485 at

For example if a dimmer dial’s primary function is to control the kitchen window shutters, by pressing the Global button, the dial could switch to its secondary function which could be to control all window shutters in the house. Global function could even be programmed with a completely unrelated function e.g. control the kitchen lights. All button and dimmer dial functions can be programmed using BabyWare.


Programming an MCB1 Wall SwitchFor more information on programming modules, refer to BabyWare on page 14.


The switch beeps, and all button lights turn on. 2 Adjust the intensity of:

Button lights with buttons 1 (+) and 2 (-), and Label lights** with buttons 3 (+) and 4 (-)



* The “Night” intensity start and end time is defined by the Night Schedule set in BabyWare (see item #7 in Programming an MCB1 Wall Switch on page 61).

** If the “Use same intensity for button lights” option is enabled in BabyWare (see item #6 in Programming an MCB1 Wall Switch on page 61).

HUB4D: Hub and Bus Isolator Module

DescriptionThe HUB4D extends and divides the panel’s Multibus into four isolated outputs. Designed for larger installations, the HUB4D features opto-isolated outputs which provide protection from high-voltage spikes (ideal for exterior lines). Each HUB4D output can be manually shut down for service or to add modules to the bus without affecting the entire system.

Any number of HUB4D modules can be added to the system, however, they do count towards the total number of modules on the system (511 total).

Features• One input port, 4 completely isolated output ports• Each output port provides communications up to 900m

(3000ft)• Opto-isolated ports provide protection from high-voltage

spikes (ideal for exterior lines)• On-board buttons to manually control outputs• LED module status display• Connects to Multibus: 4-wire encrypted 13.8 VDC com-

munication bus at 500bps• Remote firmware upgrade via Multibus using RS485 at

1 Bus ExtensionThe HUB4D can extend the bus by regenerating the signal between the control panel and its modules. Each of the four outputs of the unit can support a bus extension of up to 914m (3000ft) with 18AWG.

2 Power SuppliesHUB4D outputs must be powered by an external 12 VDC power source such as the PS27D. It is possible for outputs to share the same power supply, however a short in one output will deactivate all shared outputs. For increased protection, use a separate 12 VDC power supply for each output.

NOTE: For installations in Finland, Norway and Sweden with outdoor cabling/wiring, CLASS I PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT TYPE A intended for connection to the HUB4D, must, if safety relies on connection to protective earth or if surge suppressors are connected between the network terminals and accessible parts, be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.NOTE: Wiring methods must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

WiringTransformer SharingThe PS27D features Transformer Sharing that enables modules with this feature to share a central transformer (16-24 VDC, or 18-24 VDC) throughout the system. Ensure that the total power output of the transformer is respected. There is no specific polarity connection when using a DC transformer.

Combining Output Power (Parallel)Any combination of outputs can be wired in parallel to combine output power. For example, in the diagram below, outputs 2 and 3 were connected in parallel to provide one output at 1A. Another example would be to wire all 4 outputs in parallel to provide one output at 2A. To wire in parallel: 1) Using the local control buttons, deactivate the outputs (LED off) you want to combine. If outputs are not first

deactivated, the correct voltage and amperage will not be displayed.2) Wire the outputs you want to combine in parallel as shown. 3) Reactivate the combined outputs by pressing only one of the local control buttons. For this example, pressing local

control button 2 will reactivate outputs 2 and 3.

Appendix A: Router Setup

The built-in TCP/IP communication port provides an Internet communication link to control and monitor a security system with BabyWare. This provides the user with the freedom to access the system from anywhere in the world.1) Ensure that the router is connected properly as indicated in the router’s instructions.2) Access your router’s configuration page. Refer to your router’s manual for the exact procedure. In most cases, this is

done by entering the router’s fixed IP address in the address bar of your Web browser, see Figure 16. We will use 192.168.1.1 as an example, since it is a commonly used default router IP address. Your router’s IP address may be indicated in the router’s instructions or on the router’s sticker.

3) In the router’s configuration page, check the DHCP settings.

4) In the router’s configuration page, go to the TCP/UDP Port Range Forwarding section (also known as “port mapping” or “port redirection”). Add a service/item, set the Port to 11000 and enter the static IP address selected in the previous step (see Figure 18). NOTE: Ensure that these steps are followed for both TCP and UDP protocols. WARNING: Some routers require a specific command in order to apply ‘live’ changes to the router’s ‘startup config’. If this step is omitted, configuration may be lost in the case of power outage or router restart.

If DHCP is enabled, verify that the IP address range leaves at least one IP address available outside of the range. The range shown in Figure 17, would leave addresses 2 to 4 and 101 to 254 available (all numbers in an IP address are between 1 and 254.) Record one of the addresses outside the DHCP range as the one you will use.

If DHCP is disabled, the V32 Main Controller will use the default address of 192.168.1.250. It is possible to change that address if needed using BabyWare.

*May differ depending on router used

Appendix B: Wire Gauge Selection

Throughout the system, standard 4 wire cabling can be used (including access control module and card readers). Only wires that are run outdoors require shielding. When selecting the gauge of wire to be used, current and distance must be considered in order to calculate the voltage drop on the wire. For most installations, a combination of 22AWG and 18AWG wire is sufficient. Use 22AWG in most cases, and 18AWG when a large group of devices are connected in order to support higher current and provide a greater distance.

Voltage Drop CalculationAs shown in Table , the resistance of a 22AWG wire for 100 meters is 10.8 Ohms (for the both + and – wires, round trip). This means that if the installation requires an LCD keypad that consumes a maximum 150 mA (0.150A) at 100m from the power supply, the total voltage drop on the wire will be 10.8 Ohms x 0.150A = 1.51Volts (Resistance x Amperes = Volts). Therefore a 22AWG wire will support a single LCD keypad for a distance of up to 100 meters. As a general rule, do not allow more than a 1.5 V drop on the wires at maximum current. When calculating power requirements, also consider future expansion.

V (drop) = DIR/100 (meters)D is the total distance (meters) the current travels for round tripI is the total amperage of all modules on the same lineR is from the ohms/100meters column in Table

ExampleTo calculate the correct wire gauge to drive a group of 3x K651 keypads (110 mA each), 6x DGI50 (30 mA each), and 1x K07C keypad (130 mA each) at a distance of 60 meters:1) Add all current: (3 x 110) + (6 x 30) + (1 x 130) = 640 mA or 0.64A.2) Use the formula: V= DIR/100

For 22AWG: (60 x 0.64 x 10.8) / 100 = 4.15VFor 18AWG: (60 x 0.64 x 4.27) /100 = 1.64VFor 16AWG: (60 x 0.64 x 2.68) /100 = 1.03V

3) It is clear that single 22 or 18AWG wires will not be enough and 16AWG wire is impractical due to cost. Therefore, the solution could be to run separate 22AWG wires to each device, or run 30 to 40m with 18AWG wire and then split to 22AWG individual wires.
