Connect E16 to Honeywell Vista + Protegus (Tutorial)
This video shows how to connect the TRIKDIS Ethernet communicator E16 to a Honeywell Vista 48 control panel and configure it with Protegus.
The Trikdis E16 Ethernet communicator works with Paradox, DSC and other manufacturers' alarm control panels, communicating directly via the data bus (DATA BUS) or serial port (SERIAL PORT).
Data is transmitted to the monitoring station and the user via the Protegus 2 mobile and web application over wired internet. Using the communicator, the alarm system can be remotely armed or disarmed from the owner's mobile app or browser, and connected devices can be controlled and monitored.

Trikdis communicators are excellent replacements for Paradox and DSC IP modules and SIM card communicators (e.g. Paradox IP150, IP150+, IP180, PCS250, PCS265LTE; DSC ENVISALINK4, TL / LE series).
What does Trikdis offer?
- Reliable operation
- Free Android, iPhone and web application
- Event monitoring
- Remote control (arming / disarming)
- Direct connection to the alarm control panel — for many compatible models
- IP and GSM/LTE communication in one device — dual path, multi-channel
Alarm control panels connectable via data bus or serial port
Die Trikdis E16, G16, GT, GT+, GET are compatible with all the alarm control panels listed below . The main advantage of these specialized Trikdis communicators is that events are transmitted via the data bus or serial port.
Alarm control panels marked in blue can be controlled directly (arming/disarming) via the serial port or data bus, without any additional wiring.
Alarm control panels marked in black receive events via the data bus or serial port , but require key switch zones and additional wiring for full control of the alarm system .
Magellan MG5000, MG5050, MG5050+*, MG5050E
DIGIPLEX EVO48, NE96, EVO96, EVO192*, EVOHD* (*Fw. above 7.50)
ESPRIT E55, 728ULT, 738ULT
For direct control, the firmware of PARADOX panels must be at least version V.4.
* Die serial port on the new marked alarm panels is locked at the factory. The port must be enabled before communication with an external device is possible.

Connection to Data Bus or Serial Port, What Does This Mean?
In this case, the communicator is practically taught to understand the alarm panel's own language (one-way communication). Just like operators or other peripheral devices, the communicator sees events and will transmit the appropriate information according to the settings.
Direct Control
In the case of directly controllable panels, the communicator not only receives notifications from the panel but also a part of the functions available on the keypad becomes accessible (bidirectional communication).
- Activation / deactivation of the entire system or partition using a user code
- Detection of zone statuses
- Zone bypass
- Automatic mapping of partitions and zones
Main features:
- IP communicator working over Ethernet, compatible with popular alarm control panels from major manufacturers
- Uniquely connects not via TIP RING but via data bus or serial port — message reading and transmission takes less than a second
- Free Protegus 2 server — no fixed IP or dynamic DNS required
User features:
- The owner is notified of system events via the free Protegus 2 mobile and web application
- Push notifications and alarm sound for events and alerts
- Remote arming and disarming
Controllable outputs:
- 3 flexibly configurable contacts as input or output
- RS485 port for additional compatible expansion modules and devices
- Outputs controllable from the Protegus 2 application
- Remote control of connected devices (lighting, gate, ventilation, heating, irrigation, etc.)
Quick installation
- Settings can be saved to a file as a starting point for another device's configuration
- Quick and easy configuration via USB or remotely after first setup using TrikdisConfig or Protegus 2
- 2 access levels: Administrator, Installer
Monitoring station connection:
- The module transmits messages in Contact ID format to the monitoring station via IP
- Compatible with universal SIA DC-09 and SUR-GUARD TL150 receivers
- Automatically switches to backup channel if primary channel connection is lost
- Signalling to up to two monitoring stations, each with a backup channel

Frequently asked questions

Traditionally via telephone line (TIP/RING) — a universal solution that lets devices communicate regardless of brand. Trikdis's own development means that panels on the supported list (and only those) can also be connected directly and digitally via serial port or data cable — as far as we know, no one else offers this, backed by 10-15 years of development.
Protegus 2 is the 2nd generation of Trikdis's cloud app: control your alarm system from your phone and get instant notifications. We recommend it for every current internet-connected Trikdis device. The user app is free; the paid, usage- (customer-) based tier is for monitoring stations, installers and companies.
Check the product page of any direct-connection communicator — e.g. E16, G16, GT, GT+, GET: if your panel's model is on the supported list, we strongly recommend that one. In every other case, choose the telephone-line (TIP/RING) version. Pick the communication type (4G / Ethernet) based on what's available on site.
Yes, using the TrikdisConfig programming software (via USB or remotely). The latest firmware is recommended for the best compatibility and security.
Yes: Protegus 2 can be tried on a live demo system, without installation or purchase — from a browser and from the mobile app too. This lets you see in advance what arming, notifications, and system status look like on a working alarm system.
Protegus 2 typically retains the event list for up to two months; with a large volume of events, this period may shorten to as little as one month.
The AUX power output of the Paradox SP4000 alarm panel has limited load capacity. In certain cases — whether using a dedicated or a universal TRIKDIS communicator — the communicator's current draw can place too much load on the AUX output. As a result, the communicator may become unstable, restart, or fail to operate correctly.
Experience shows that the problem is usually solved by powering the TRIKDIS communicator directly from the alarm panel's battery terminals (+/-) instead of from the AUX output. This provides a stable power supply and eliminates the restart or operational issues.
Note: Before changing the wiring, always check that the system complies with the manufacturer's specifications and that the total load on the power supply does not exceed the permitted value.
