The Paradox MG5050+ Hybrid Alarm Kit with K32LCD+ Keypad (PK-MG5+N5XK3C) is a comprehensive wired intrusion security system designed for residential and commercial properties across Australia and New Zealand. Featuring the expandable Paradox MG5050+ 32-zone hybrid alarm controller, K32LCD+ hardwired LCD keypad, two NV5 digital pet-immune PIR motion detectors with advanced 3D lens technology, and a weatherproof external siren/strobe with top-hat screamer, this security kit delivers intelligent intrusion detection, convenient alarm management and powerful audible and visual security notification.

At the centre of the system is the Paradox MG5050+ Hybrid Alarm Controller, featuring eight onboard hardwired zones with 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, making it a flexible security platform for houses, offices, retail stores and smaller commercial premises.

The included Paradox K32LCD+ Hardwired LCD Keypad provides convenient everyday alarm operation through a clear 32-character blue LCD display. Featuring programmable zone labels, real-time zone alarm information, menu-driven programming, configurable chime zones and adjustable display backlighting, the keypad allows authorised users to manage their alarm system through a familiar physical-button interface.

For accurate intrusion detection, the kit incorporates two Paradox NV5 Digital PIR Motion Detectors, featuring Full Authority Digital Electronics Control (FADEC), advanced 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 minimise unwanted alarms.

The included CSD-1000 Weatherproof Siren/Strobe Kit provides audible and visual alarm notification through a traditional external alarm enclosure. The kit combines a siren/horn speaker, blue warning strobe, tamper switch, UV-treated weatherproof cover and additional top-hat piezo screamer, delivering a practical alarm warning solution for professional installations.

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 power supply and cabinet tamper switch.

With its expandable hybrid architecture, reliable LCD keypad operation, digital pet-immune motion detection and comprehensive alarm notification equipment, the Paradox MG5050+ Alarm Kit PK-MG5+N5XK3C provides an excellent foundation for professionally installed home and business security systems.

Important: This kit includes a K32LCD+ hardwired LCD keypad, not a TM50 touchscreen. The supplied NV5 detectors and CSD-1000 siren/strobe are wired devices. Although the MG5050+ supports compatible wireless expansion, wireless detectors and wireless sirens are not included.

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

The external strobe provides a visible alarm indication, while the siren/horn and screamer provide audible warning.

The CSD-1000 requires wired connection to the alarm system.

6. Additional Top-Hat Screamer

The CSD-1000 includes a top-hat piezo screamer for additional audible security notification.

The screamer can be installed in an appropriate location to provide further local alarm indication when the security system is activated.

7. Two Independent Security Areas

The MG5050+ supports two independent security partitions.

This allows separate areas of a property to be managed according to different security requirements, such as a residential living space and home office, or a retail shopfront and storeroom.

8. Up to 32 User Codes

The MG5050+ supports up to 32 user codes, allowing multiple authorised users to access the security system.

This is particularly useful for family homes, shared offices and businesses where different users require alarm operation privileges.

9. 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 battery condition and the combined current consumption of the keypad, detectors and connected warning devices.

10. Hybrid Wired and Wireless Expansion

Although the included NV5 detectors are wired, the MG5050+ supports compatible wireless accessories through its integrated wireless functionality.

This allows future security expansion using supported wireless devices where additional detector wiring may be inconvenient.

11. Optional Remote Alarm Connectivity

The MG5050+ supports compatible optional communication modules for internet connectivity and remote security functions.

With suitable equipment, firmware and service configuration, compatible remote management and alarm reporting may be available.

No IP or cellular communication module is included in this kit.

12. Professional Security Installation Package

By combining a controller, LCD keypad, two digital motion detectors, external siren/strobe, metal enclosure and backup battery components, the kit provides a coordinated package for professional alarm installations.

Additional cables, fixings, door contacts and other security accessories may be required depending on the property layout and installation design.
