The Paradox MG5050+ Hybrid Alarm Kit with 2x NV5 Motion Detectors and Weatherproof Siren/Strobe (PK-MG5+N5X) is an expandable wired intrusion security solution designed for residential and commercial installations across Australia and New Zealand. Featuring the Paradox MG5050+ 32-zone hybrid alarm controller, two NV5 digital PIR motion detectors with 16kg pet resistance and advanced 3D Fresnel lens technology, a CSD-1000 weatherproof external siren/strobe assembly and a metal enclosure with battery backup, this kit combines intelligent intrusion detection, flexible security expansion and effective audible and visual alarm notification.

At the centre of the system is the Paradox MG5050+ Hybrid Alarm Controller, providing eight onboard hardwired zones with zone doubling and expansion capabilities supporting up to 32 security zones. The controller accommodates 32 user codes, two independent security partitions and programmable outputs expandable to 16, making it suitable for houses, offices, retail shops and smaller commercial premises.

The MG5050+ features integrated wireless communication capabilities, allowing compatible wireless security accessories to be added alongside conventional hardwired detection devices. This hybrid architecture provides flexibility for future system expansion while retaining reliable wired operation for the included detectors and alarm notification equipment.

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

The supplied CSD-1000 Weatherproof Siren/Strobe Kit provides external audible and visual alarm notification. It combines a siren/horn speaker assembly, blue warning strobe, UV-treated weatherproof cover, reed tamper switch and additional top-hat piezo screamer. Its pre-wired terminal block and mounting template help simplify professional installation.

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 1.5A plug pack and cabinet tamper switch. A Paradox MG and SP user manual is also included.

With its digital pet-resistant detection, expandable hybrid architecture and external alarm warning equipment, the Paradox MG5050+ Alarm Kit PK-MG5+N5X provides a practical foundation for professionally configured home and business security systems.

Important – No Keypad Included: This kit does not include a keypad, touchscreen, wireless remote control, IP communication module or cellular communicator. A compatible keypad or another supported user control method must be purchased separately for everyday operation and system configuration.

Wired and Wireless Components: The two included NV5 detectors and CSD-1000 siren/strobe are wired devices. The MG5050+ controller supports compatible optional wireless security accessories, but none are supplied with this kit.

• Interchangeable lens support

The NV5 is designed for indoor applications requiring configurable motion detection and resistance to selected environmental disturbances.

3. Pet-Resistant Intrusion Detection

The two NV5 detectors support pet resistance for animals weighing up to 16kg under appropriate installation conditions.

This helps reduce unwanted alarm activations associated with smaller pets while maintaining intrusion detection capabilities.

Pet resistance is dependent on correct detector positioning, mounting height, sensitivity selection, pet behaviour and environmental conditions.

4. Weatherproof External Siren and Blue Strobe

The included CSD-1000 Weatherproof Siren/Strobe Kit provides audible and visual alarm notification.

Its traditional external alarm enclosure includes a siren/horn speaker, blue warning strobe and reed tamper switch.

Key features:

• External siren and horn speaker assembly

• Blue warning strobe

• UV-treated weatherproof plastic cover

• Reed tamper protection

• Pre-wired terminal block

• Mounting template

• Additional top-hat screamer

• Compact external design

The unit requires appropriate wired connection to the alarm controller.

5. Additional Top-Hat Audible Screamer

The CSD-1000 kit includes a separate top-hat piezo screamer for additional audible alarm indication.

This provides installers with another warning device that can be positioned appropriately within the security installation.

6. Two Independent Security Areas

The MG5050+ supports two independently configured security partitions.

This allows separate sections of a property to be managed individually, such as a residential living area and home office or a retail shopfront and storeroom.

Partition functions require appropriate programming and a compatible user control interface.

7. Up to 32 User Codes

The MG5050+ supports 32 user codes, allowing multiple authorised users to operate the system through a compatible keypad or other supported control device.

This makes the controller practical for family homes, shared offices and commercial premises requiring multiple user credentials.

8. Backup Battery Protection

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

Actual backup duration depends on the connected system load, battery condition and installation configuration.

9. Hybrid Wired and Wireless Expansion

Although the included NV5 detectors are wired, the MG5050+ supports compatible wireless accessories.

Additional detectors, door contacts and supported security peripherals can be incorporated according to the system's available capacity and compatibility requirements.

10. Optional Internet and Smartphone Connectivity

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

Smartphone access requires suitable additional communication equipment, firmware and any applicable services.

No IP or cellular communication module is included in PK-MG5+N5X.

11. Flexible Keypad Selection

Because this kit is supplied without a keypad, installers can select an appropriate compatible Paradox user interface based on the customer's preferences.

Options may include compatible LCD or touchscreen keypads, purchased separately.

12. Professional Security Installation Package

The kit combines the core alarm controller, motion detection, external siren/strobe and backup power components for a professional intrusion security installation.

Additional installation cables, fixings, keypads, detectors or communication modules may be required depending on the property and intended system functions.
