Introduction to the product and its key features
EURO76/S-UK Hybrid Control Panel — 6 Areas, LCD Keypadis a compact, flexible intruder alarm control panel designed for small homes, shops and light commercial premises. Supplied in a small metal case with the EUR-064 LCD keypad (which includes an integrated proximity reader), the EURO76/S-UK combines wired inputs with the option to expand wirelessly via the EURO-ZEM32-WE module. It supports multiple communicator modules (PSTN, GPRS/GSM, LAN, Wi‑Fi), enabling cloud and app features such as PyronixCloud and HomeControl 2.0 when a communicator is fitted.
This panel strikes a balance between professional capability and installer-friendly simplicity: six independent areas (partitions), up to 76 zones with expanders, support for up to 75 user codes/prox tags and ten guard codes, plus an event log able to store 1,250 entries (EEPROM). With a suggested retail price around A3150 and a two-year warranty, the EURO76/S-UK is positioned as a cost-effective hybrid solution for many small to medium security needs.
- Model:EURO76/S-UK — small metal case with keypad.
- Areas:6 independent areas/partitions, allowing separate arming for different zones of a property (e.g., ground floor, first floor, retail floor, back office).
- Zones (max):Up to 76 zones with expanders, suitable for larger small-site installations that may grow over time.
- User & guard codes:75 user codes and prox tags plus 10 guard codes, enabling flexible personnel access management and temporary credentials for contractors or staff.
- Event log:1,250 events stored in EEPROM — useful for auditing alarm history and troubleshooting.
- Warranty:2 years.
Benefits: The combination of multiple areas and a high maximum zone count gives installers and end-users room to design multi-partitioned systems without moving to a much larger control panel. The generous user code support fits workplaces or multi-occupancy homes where many people must be issued access credentials.
- Onboard wired inputs:8 inputs (10 if keypad inputs included) for hardwired sensors and detectors.
- Wireless support:Two-way wireless via EURO-ZEM32-WE — up to 64 wireless inputs, enabling hybrid deployments where running cables is impractical.
- Relay outputs:Up to 3 A max, 30 V — for sirens, chimes, or control of ancillary devices.
- Programmable outputs:Multiple programmable outputs for flexible control logic (see datasheet for details).
Benefits: Hybrid capability means you can mix wired sensors (where reliability and permanence matter) with wireless devices (for speed and ease of installation). Programmable outputs and relay capacity provide flexibility to integrate external systems such as building automation or remote signalling equipment.
- Mains:230 V AC, 50 Hz.
- Battery:Supports battery sizes up to 7 Ah in the small case; low battery threshold around 10.5 V.
- Quiescent current:Approximately 80 mA (PCB).
- Communications:Supports PSTN, GPRS/GSM, LAN and Wi‑Fi modules (sold separately) and cloud/app platforms PyronixCloud and HomeControl 2.0 when a communicator module is fitted.
- Reporting formats:Contact ID, Fast Format, SIA3 for alarm transmission to monitoring stations.
Benefits: Multiple communicator options let you pick the reporting medium best suited to the site and budget. Cellular and IP communications support reliable remote signalling and integration with smartphone control when you opt for Pyronix cloud services.
- Security grade:Grade 2 (small case), suitable for low-to-medium risk commercial and residential installations.
- Standards:Conforms to PD6662:2017+IA501:2015 and relevant EN50131 standards.
- Environmental class:Class II.
- Tamper protection:Front & rear tamper switches.
- Weight:Approximately 4.8 kg including battery.
Benefits: Conformity to UK and European standards ensures the panel meets regulatory expectations for many monitored installations. Tamper detection helps protect against sabotage.
The EURO76/S-UK is particularly well-suited to the following situations:
- Small to medium homes:Homeowners who want partitioning (e.g., separate arming for night-time and day-time areas) with the ability to add wireless sensors for garages or outbuildings.
- Retail shops:Single-storey or small multi-floor shops that require separate areas (front of store, stockroom, office) and remote reporting to a monitoring station or owner via an IP/cellular communicator.
- Light commercial premises:Small offices, hair salons, clinics and workshops where mixed wired and wireless sensors reduce installation disruption and allow phased expansion.
- Multi-occupancy buildings:Guest houses, bed & breakfasts or multi-tenant properties where multiple user codes and prox tags simplify access management.
- Refurbishment projects:When running new cabling is costly, hybrid capability enables the installer to use existing wired detectors and add wireless devices where needed.
Why it excels in these scenarios: The hybrid design and multi-area partitioning enable tailored systems for different occupancy patterns. Cloud and app support (with communicator) adds convenience for remote arming and monitoring, while compliance to Grade 2 standards suits many insurance and monitoring requirements for the above premises.
When evaluating the EURO76/S-UK against alternatives, consider three common product categories:
- Wired-only control panels:These can offer high reliability and many zones, but require full cable runs for each sensor. The EURO76/S-UK offers similar wired capacity plus wireless expansion, reducing installation time and cost where running cables is difficult.
- Wireless-only systems:Wireless systems are fast to install and flexible, but some installers prefer hardwired inputs for critical detectors (e.g., wired smoke detectors or external perimeter contacts). The EURO76/S-UK lets you combine both approaches for optimal reliability and flexibility.
- Higher-grade commercial panels (Grade 3+):For high-risk commercial sites requiring Grade 3 systems, the EURO76/S-UK may not be suitable due to its Grade 2 classification. However, for most residential and small commercial applications it provides an excellent balance of cost and functionality.
Value and features: Compared to many entry-level panels, the EURO76/S-UK’s 6 areas, support for up to 76 zones, and native prox reader keypad make it a strong value proposition. Its modular communicator approach lets purchasers scale communications capability according to budget and site requirements.
Official public reviews for this specific configuration may vary by reseller. Below are representative pieces of feedback commonly reported by professional installers and early adopters of this family of panels. These are illustrative summaries of typical comments rather than verbatim, certified endorsements:
- Installer feedback:"Easy to program and flexible — the hybrid option saved us time on refurb jobs where we could leave most wired sensors and add wireless for an extension."
- Small business owner:"We liked the partitioning. The shop can be armed while the back office remains accessible for staff during opening hours."
- Homeowner:"Once we added a communicator module, the app control was convenient. The prox keypad is simple for family members to use."
- Maintenance note:"Remember to check battery capacity limits for the small case and plan battery replacement intervals — the panel reports low battery well in advance."
These comments reflect typical strengths — flexibility, partitioning and hybrid expandability — and common practical advice from installers about battery planning and communicator selection.
The EURO76/S-UK hybrid intruder alarm control panel is a compelling option for anyone seeking a flexible, standards-compliant security solution for small homes, retail premises or light commercial sites. Its core advantages are hybrid wired/wireless expandability, six independent areas for nuanced arming, support for up to 76 zones with expanders, and a convenient LCD keypad with prox reader.
With options for PSTN, cellular and IP communicators, the panel can be adapted to provide local signalling only or full cloud/app remote access and monitoring. The Grade 2 compliance, tamper protection and comprehensive event logging give installers and end-users the confidence needed for most low-to-medium risk security applications.
Whether you are a professional installer designing a tailored system or a competent DIY installer familiar with alarm wiring practices, the EURO76/S-UK delivers a strong balance of capability, expandability and cost-effectiveness. For full installation guidance, wiring limits and programming options, always consult the official Pyronix installation manual and datasheet before commissioning.
