The card fits inside the MAGDUO4\/MAGDUO4B panel enclosure and connects via the panel's internal expansion port, requiring no additional external wiring between the panel and the expansion card itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial and larger domestic fire alarm installations where zone count needs to grow without replacing the base panel, the expansion card allows each new zone to monitor a separate circuit of fire detectors and call points using 2-wire technology. This means two zones can share the same cable pair, reducing installation material costs compared to conventional 4-wire systems. Each zone can be independently programmed and monitored from the main MAGDUO4 control interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe expansion card measures 120mm x 70mm and weighs 150g, fitting within the standard MAGDUO4 panel enclosure without requiring a larger cabinet. Installation involves opening the panel, inserting the card into the designated expansion slot, securing it with standoffs, and connecting zone wiring to the card's terminal blocks. The panel firmware automatically detects the expansion card on power-up and extends the zone monitoring interface to cover zones 5-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-wire configuration supported by this expansion card allows each zone circuit to carry both power and signal on the same pair of conductors, simplifying cable runs in buildings with long detector loops or difficult-to-access ceiling voids. Zone indicators and fault detection for the expanded zones operate identically to the base panel's native zones, maintaining consistent system behaviour across all eight zones once the card is installed.\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\u003e0.15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70\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_MAGDUOZC4_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_MAGDUOZC4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this card compatible with both MAGDUO4 and MAGDUO4B panels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
