The card plugs directly into the panel's expansion port, providing additional zone capacity for larger installations without requiring a separate enclosure or power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial and industrial fire alarm systems that have grown beyond the base panel capacity, the expander card allows installers to monitor up to four additional smoke detector, heat detector, or manual call point circuits from a single plug-in PCB. Each zone operates as a conventional circuit, terminating with an end-of-line resistor, and appears on the main panel display as zones 5-8 when the card is fitted to the primary expansion slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green PCB measures approximately 120mm x 80mm and includes four dedicated zone terminal pairs along the top edge, with black and red fly leads on each zone connector for simplified wiring during installation. The card draws power from the host MAG816 panel via the expansion port connection, so no additional mains or battery supply is needed. The white adhesive label on the PCB shows the zone numbering and barcode reference for inventory tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation involves powering down the MAG816 panel, aligning the card with the expansion port connectors, and seating it firmly until the edge connector is fully engaged. Once powered back up, the panel automatically detects the additional zones and makes them available for configuration through the panel's programming interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_MAGZC-816_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_MAGZC-816.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this compatible with other ESP fire alarm panels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAGZC-816 is designed specifically for the ESP MAG816 fire alarm control panel. It will not work with other panel models due to the proprietary expansion port design and zone numbering protocol.
