The Paradox MG5050+ Hybrid Alarm Kit with K10V LED Keypad (PK-MG5+N5MK1V) is a comprehensive intrusion security system designed for residential and commercial properties across Australia and New Zealand. Featuring the expandable Paradox MG5050+ 32-zone hybrid alarm controller, K10V vertical LED keypad, two NV5 digital pet-immune PIR motion detectors with advanced 3D lens technology, X2 combination mini siren/strobe, 12V top-hat screamer and battery backup, this security kit combines intelligent intrusion detection, straightforward alarm operation and reliable audible and visual security notification.

At the heart of the system is the Paradox MG5050+ Hybrid Alarm Controller, featuring eight onboard hardwired zones with zone doubling and expansion capabilities supporting up to 32 security zones. The controller accommodates up to 32 user codes, two independent alarm partitions and programmable outputs expandable to 16, providing a flexible security platform for homes, offices, retail stores and smaller commercial properties.

The included Paradox K10V 10-Zone Hardwired LED Keypad provides convenient everyday alarm operation through a traditional physical-button interface. Featuring a vertical design, 10-zone LED status display, adjustable backlighting and dedicated Arm, Sleep, Stay and Off indicators for each partition, the K10V offers straightforward system operation without the complexity of a touchscreen.

For intelligent indoor intrusion detection, the kit includes two Paradox NV5 Digital PIR Motion Detectors, incorporating Full Authority Digital Electronics Control (FADEC), advanced 3D Lodiff Fresnel lens technology and pet resistance for animals weighing up to 16kg. Each detector provides 10m detection coverage with a 90-degree viewing angle, five digital sensitivity levels and sophisticated signal processing to help reduce unwanted alarms.

The supplied X2 Combination Mini Siren and Strobe (X2-SIREN-001) provides audible and visual alarm indication through a compact IP54-rated enclosure. Featuring six high-intensity strobe LEDs, a dedicated status indicator LED, front and rear tamper protection and a high-impact polycarbonate front cover, the X2 provides effective alarm notification for professionally configured security installations.

An additional CSD-1003 12V DC Top-Hat Screamer provides further audible warning with a specified sound output of 105dB at one metre.

Completing the package is the Paradox Base Kit (PDX-KIT), containing a grey metal alarm enclosure, 12V 7Ah sealed lead-acid backup battery, 16V AC plug pack and cabinet tamper switch.

With its expandable hybrid controller, easy-to-use K10V LED keypad, digital pet-resistant motion detection and compact audible/visual warning devices, the Paradox MG5050+ Alarm Kit PK-MG5+N5MK1V offers a practical security solution for professionally installed home and business alarm systems.

Important: The kit includes a K10V hardwired LED keypad, not an LCD or touchscreen model. The two NV5 detectors, X2 mini siren/strobe and top-hat screamer are wired devices.

Although the MG5050+ supports compatible wireless security accessories, no wireless detectors or wireless siren are included.

An IP or cellular communication module is not included. Remote smartphone management requires separately purchased compatible communication equipment and appropriate configuration.

The supplied 12V 7Ah sealed lead-acid battery provides backup power to the alarm control system during interruptions to mains electricity.

Actual backup duration depends on battery condition, connected equipment and overall system power consumption.

10. Hybrid Wired and Wireless Expansion

Although this kit includes wired NV5 motion detectors, the MG5050+ supports compatible wireless security accessories.

Additional compatible wireless detectors, door contacts and other supported peripherals may be incorporated as security requirements evolve.

11. Optional Internet and Smartphone Connectivity

The MG5050+ supports compatible optional communication equipment for remote alarm management and reporting.

Depending on the selected communication module, firmware and service configuration, supported remote security functions may be available.

No IP or cellular communication module is included in PK-MG5+N5MK1V.

12. Professional Security Installation Package

The combination of a hybrid alarm controller, K10V LED keypad, two digital motion detectors, X2 mini siren/strobe, top-hat screamer, metal enclosure and backup battery provides the core equipment for a professionally installed intrusion alarm system.

Additional cabling, fixing materials, door contacts or other accessories may be required depending on the property and desired security coverage.
