update accordingly. This is a great tool for determining valid RS232 communication with the
Paradox system
Driver Properties (top of screen)
Partitions:
This screen give the dealer and overview off all the current partition states.
Zones:
This screen lists all the current zones and zone types in the security driver. This is where
the dealer would ‘tell’ Control4 the properties for each zone (see Zone Properties) for more information.
Zone Properties (System Design, Top of Screen)
Each zone in the paradox system is listed on this page. Double clicking on each zone will list it’s
current properties. Below is a description of each.
Zone Name: The Name of the zone to be used in the driver
Zone Type: The ‘type’ of zone connected. By default, all zones are listed as ‘contact sensors’
Can Control: If the zone can be controlled. Always should be left in the off state
Hide from UI screens: Shows or Hides the zone in the ‘zones’ page of the security driver on the
GUI. Typically, all ‘connected’ zones should be shown, and non-connected zones should be
hidden
Chimes: In 2.9, Control4 added in the ability to ‘chime’ the touchscreens. When the zone is
triggered, the touchscreen will ‘chime’.
Area/Partition Settings (System Design)
The Cinegration security driver has added in a partition driver for each possible partition used.
Clicking on this will give the dealer access to:
o
Remote Disarming: Allows a dealer to enable/disable the ability to disarm the alarm
system remotely. If this is unchecked, iPhones, iPads and Android devices not
connected to the same lan network as the Control4 system WILL NOT be able to disarm
the system
o
Default user code: Enter the user code the driver will and Control4 programming will
use to arm and disarm in programming. Cinegration recommends creating a separate
user for Control4 arming/disarming.
