Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders
The main panel contains zones 1 to 8. Additional zone expanders may be added to increase the number
of zones on the system. Each zone expander consists of two groups of 4 zones and each group must be
configured to assign the specific zones to the expander. This is done by setting the jumpers located on
the expander to the proper settings.
Before a zone expander will work properly the jumpers must be set so the panel can determine the
correct zone assignment.
The following are the jumper settings for different zone assignments:

The following is a diagram of the zone expander and where the jumper switches are located.
There are two sets of jumpers, one set for the first 4 zones of the expander and one set for the other 4 zones.
In this diagram the jumpers settings
shown indicate the first group of four
zones of the expander will be zones
9 to 12 and the second group of 4
zones will be 13 to 16.
A group of zones can be disabled if
they are not required for the
installation.
