The Hikvision DS-PM1-I16O2-WB is a high-capacity wireless input and output expander designed for the AX PRO intrusion alarm system. With sixteen supervised wired inputs and two programmable outputs, it is the perfect solution for integrating large wired alarm installations, multi-zone commercial sites, and complex legacy systems directly into the AX PRO wireless platform.
This module enables installers to retain existing wired PIRs, reed switches, roller door contacts, beam sensors, panic buttons, and specialised detectors, while upgrading the site to modern wireless control and cloud-based management. Each zone input is independently configurable for NO/NC, EOL or DEOL wiring modes, allowing compatibility with professional-grade wired sensors.
The unit communicates with the AX PRO panel using secure two-way Tri-X wireless transmission, ensuring long-range, high-reliability signalling even in dense environments. The two programmable outputs can be used for automation tasks, strobe/siren control, relay triggers, or custom integrations.
With a strong focus on professional installation, the DS-PM1-I16O2-WB features LED indication, tamper protection, robust RF strength reporting, and a clean wiring layout. Its wide input capacity makes it ideal for medium-to-large commercial projects, warehouses, retail sites, and buildings where wired infrastructure already exists but the client wants to upgrade to a modern, hybrid wireless system.
Installer Notes
-
Input Capacity: Supports up to 16 wired zones. Configure each zone in NO, NC, single EOL or double EOL mode as required.
-
Outputs: Two programmable outputs for sirens, relays, lights, automation triggers or integration with other systems.
-
Mounting: Install in a clean, dry location away from large metal surfaces. Ideal for wiring cupboards, comms rooms, or the existing alarm panel enclosure.
-
RF Link: Ensure clear wireless path to the AX PRO panel for optimal reliability. Avoid concrete tilt panels, metal cabinets, and lift shafts where possible.
-
Power: Use a stable DC power supply as specified. Note that high-powered wired sensors should be externally powered.
-
Zone Labeling: Name each zone clearly (e.g., “Warehouse PIR 1”) before leaving the site to simplify future service work.
-
Tamper: Ensure the casing tamper and wire loop tamper are fully functional during commissioning.
-
Testing: Test all 16 inputs and both outputs individually. Confirm alarm, tamper and restore signalling for every zone.
Use Cases
1. Converting a Full Wired Alarm System to AX PRO
Perfect for sites with existing DSC, Bosch, Hills or Paradox wired panels. Move all zones into AX PRO without replacing the detectors.
2. Commercial Sites With Large Zone Counts
Warehouses, workshops, showrooms, and industrial units often have many reed switches and PIRs. The 16-input expander supports turnkey migration to wireless management.
3. Rooming House / Multi-Tenancy Buildings
Each room may have door contacts, smoke inputs, panic buttons or window sensors. This module consolidates multiple wired zones into one AX PRO wireless hub.
4. Retail and Multi-Shop Precincts
Large retail spaces with multiple entry points and roller shutters benefit from wired stability combined with wireless control.
5. Automation and Output Control
Use the two PGM outputs for sirens, gates, lighting control, relays, HVAC triggers or other automation scenarios.
6. Perimeter Beam and Fence Integration
Long-run wired beam sensors or fence loops can be connected directly and reported wirelessly to AX PRO.
FAQs
Q: How many wired zones does this module support?
It supports up to 16 individually configurable wired inputs.
Q: Can it replace a full wired alarm panel?
Yes. It acts as a wireless bridge, allowing all wired zones from a traditional alarm system to connect to AX PRO.
Q: What can the two outputs be used for?
They can be programmed for automation, sirens, strobes, relays, gate triggers, lighting, or custom outputs required by the site.
Q: Does it support EOL or DEOL wiring?
Yes. Each zone supports NO, NC, EOL or DEOL wiring for compatibility with professional detectors.
Q: Is this suitable for commercial-grade installations?
Absolutely. It is designed specifically for medium-to-large commercial, industrial, and multi-zone environments.
Q: Does it include tamper protection?
Yes, it supports enclosure tamper and input tamper to prevent unauthorised removal or access.
Q: How does it connect back to the AX PRO panel?
It communicates wirelessly using Tri-X technology for secure, long-range, two-way connectivity.
