Paradox panel integration for panel builders
Add Paradox SP, MG and EVO control panels to your panel-build scope with wiring practice that keeps zone, PGM and keypad bus cabling clean, labelled and IEC 61439-compliant.
From panel selection to commissioning handover
Architecture review
We size the panel — SP, MG or the modular EVO range — against project scale and whether wired-only or hybrid (Magellan wireless) zone coverage fits the site.
Zone & PGM wiring plan
Wired zones get home-run cabling labelled per zone; PGM outputs for relays, gates or lighting are wired on separate, documented circuits from day one.
Keypad and expander integration
LED/LCD keypads, TM70/TM50 touchscreens and zone expander modules are wired on the panel bus with clear cable routing inside the enclosure.
Enclosure build and handover
Panel, battery backup and terminal layout follow IEC 61439 discipline; the installer completes zone, code, timer and PGM programming via keypad or BabyWare before handover.
Built for panel-build practice, not just the spec sheet
Enclosure discipline from the first cable
Panel layout, PGM separation and battery-backup placement follow IEC 61439 practice, so the finished cabinet passes inspection without rework.
SP, MG and EVO range
Wired and hybrid control panel tiers, with EVO's modular architecture suited to medium and larger installations.
Zone expander modules
Add wired zone capacity without re-cabling back to the panel — useful when a project grows past the base zone count.
Magellan wireless expansion
Paradox's own wireless sensor line covers zones where running cable isn't practical, without giving up a wired backbone.
PGM output wiring
Programmable outputs for relays, gates and lighting are wired and documented on separate circuits from the alarm zones.
TM70/TM50 & keypad bus
Touchscreen and LED/LCD keypads wired on the panel bus, positioned for the end client's day-to-day arming and status checks.
What's in the integration
A defined scope for panel builders adding Paradox to a project, from panel selection through to commissioning handover.
- Panel and expander sizing for the project
- Zone home-runs labelled and tested
- PGM outputs wired on separate, documented circuits
- Keypad/touchscreen bus wiring (TM70/TM50 or LED/LCD)
- Enclosure layout to IEC 61439 practice
Frequently asked questions
Can the end client reprogram zones or codes themselves?
No. Zone, code, timer and PGM configuration is installer-side work, done via keypad or Paradox's BabyWare software — it isn't handed to the end client as a self-service option.
Does the Insite Gold app work straight out of the box?
No. Insite Gold needs an IP module (such as IP150) or a GSM/mobile module connected to the panel; without one, the app has nothing to connect to.
What's the difference between wired zones and Magellan?
Wired zones run home-run cable back to the panel. Magellan is Paradox's wireless sensor line, used to extend zone coverage on hybrid installs where cabling isn't practical.
Which panel series fits our project — SP, MG or EVO?
It depends on scale and structure: EVO's modular architecture is commonly used on medium and larger sites, while SP and MG cover a wider range of wired and hybrid installations. We size this against your zone count and layout.
Are Paradox panels certified?
Many Paradox panels and modules carry EN 50131 certification. Confirm the specific certification level for your chosen model and project requirements with us before spec'ing it in.
