Communication channels

Ethernet, Serial BUS

The E16 is a professional Ethernet communicator that provides an ultra-stable wired connection between your security system and the monitoring station. By connecting directly to the serial or keypad bus of major alarm panels, it transforms traditional security systems into smart, cloud-connected assets with high-speed reporting and full Protegus 2 app control.

High-Speed Ethernet Link

Reliable and lightning-fast event transmission via a standard RJ45 Ethernet port. The ideal solution for buildings with existing LAN infrastructure and where wireless cellular signals are restricted.

Direct Bus Integration

Deep integration with DSC, Paradox, Texecom, and Caddx panels. It captures full event data and allows remote management directly through the panel's data bus without extra dialer programming.

Dual-Purpose I/O

Equipped with 3 flexible terminals that can be configured as inputs (NC, NO, EOL, DEOL) for sensors or as programmable outputs (OC type, 0.15A) to control external devices.

Wired Supervision

Features 30-second supervised polling to the CMS via a secure wired link. Encrypted data transmission and built-in connection monitoring ensure the system is always online.

Detailed System Capabilities

  • Seamless connection to DSC (PowerSeries), Paradox (Spectra, Magellan, Digiplex), UTC Interlogix (Caddx NX), Texecom, Honeywell, and more.

  • Real-time synchronization of system status (Arm/Disarm/Alarm) with the mobile app.

  • Captures detailed event information, including zone names and user IDs.

  • Eliminates the need for traditional PSTN/landline programming.

  • High-speed reporting via Ethernet to TRIKDIS software/hardware receivers or SIA DC-09 receivers.

  • Supports parallel reporting to the CMS and simultaneous user alerts via Protegus 2.

  • AES-128 encryption ensures that all transmitted security data is protected from tampering.

  • Internal event buffer to prevent data loss during temporary network interruptions.

  • Remote Arm/Disarm and area management via the Protegus 2 ecosystem.

  • Control of auxiliary equipment (e.g., HVAC, lighting, automatic gates) using the 3 onboard I/O terminals.

  • Direct control of panel PGM outputs through the bus interface.

  • Real-time status monitoring for power supply and communication health.

  • Fast setup via USB Mini-B or full remote configuration and management via TrikdisConfig and Protegus 2.

  • Two access levels for secure management: CMS Administrator and Installer.

  • Remote firmware updates to maintain compatibility with new panels and security standards.

  • Cloud-based service for easy device enrollment into the mobile application.
