Pyronix announces the release of its ZEM8/E+P-BOX; a sleek and modern RS485 expander that adds 8 zones to any expandable Pyronix wired or hybrid system. Suitable for either residential or commercial settings, the ZEM8/E+P-BOX is a neat solution for refined, adaptable, and convenient zone expansion.

Pyronix Marketing Director, Laurence Kenny, said, “We’re pleased to introduce the ZEM8/E+P-BOX to the market; bringing a sleek and modern design to panel zone expansion with optimised installation.”

Flexible installation

The ZEM8/E+P-BOX expands the control panel by 8 zones to add flexibility to any installation.

The PCB features a reset button to allow jumper header address changes while the system is powered on. This is useful for changing the address of an expander, whilst the system is powered on. Simply address the expander, and then press the reset button.

The installation has also been optimised on the ZEM8/E+P-BOX, with keyhole and slotted mounting holes featured on the back for easier levelling, while 4 cable tie anchorage points allow for easier cable management and a neater finish.

Tamper protection

P-BOX is advantageous in new house builds or restorations, where the cables can be routed into a back box

The P-BOX also has front and rear tamper protection. The standard back box mounting is also advantageous in new house builds or restorations, where the cables can be routed into a back box and protected while the room is plastered. Fixing these cables before plastering provides a neater installation and protection to cabling during the first fix stage.

Laurence added, “We always strive to make our customers' lives easier and installations smooth. The ZEM8/E+P-BOX do just that – delivering a tidy installation that ticks all the boxes.”

The ZEM8/E+P-BOX also features additional 12V terminals; allowing installers to distribute the AUX power cables and prevent overcrowding of the terminals. An all-rounded zone expander, providing additional zones with a modern finish.
