Wired alarm system expander Teletek Eclipse EXP8 — 8-zone expansion module

Teletek Eclipse EXP8 is an 8-zone wired expansion module designed to increase the input capacity of compatible Teletek alarm control panels. The module adds eight additional hardwired sensor inputs, enabling straightforward integration with existing wired cabling and standard detector types. It is intended to expand system coverage in residential, office or small commercial installations while keeping configuration and wiring consistent with the host control panel.

Advantages

The expansion module provides eight additional supervised zones in a compact enclosure, reducing the need to replace the main control panel when more wired inputs are required. Installation maintains compatibility with standard wired sensors and detectors, and wiring connects directly to the host panel to preserve existing system topology. The unit is passive in operation, requiring only the control panel’s communication and power interfaces, which simplifies integration and minimizes additional wiring complexity.

Suitable for

• Expanding the number of wired sensor inputs in a home alarm system
• Adding additional detectors in small office or retail premises
• Upgrading an existing Teletek wired system without replacing the control panel
• Integrating extra perimeter or internal zones for improved coverage

Key specifications

• Number of additional wired zones: 8
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible Teletek alarm control panels
• Sensor support: standard normally open/normally closed wired sensors and detectors
• Power and communication: interfaces connect to the host control panel for power and signalling
• Mounting: compact enclosure suitable for control panel cabinet or nearby mounting

How to use

Mount the expansion module in proximity to the host control panel or within the same cabinet, following local electrical and safety regulations. Connect the module’s communication and power lines to the corresponding terminals on the Teletek control panel, then wire sensors and detectors to the eight zone inputs, observing correct polarity and supervised loop wiring where required. After physical connections are complete, configure the host control panel to recognize the additional zones according to the panel’s installation manual, then perform system tests for each connected sensor to verify supervision and alarm reporting.

Usage recommendations

Use the expansion module only with compatible Teletek control panels and standard wired sensors. Verify wiring integrity and supervision settings during installation, and perform regular maintenance checks. For installations with long cable runs or mixed sensor types, follow the control panel’s guidance on end-of-line resistors, supervision thresholds and cable type to ensure reliable operation.
