the unit to a wall or other flat surface using the hardware
provided (see page 4 for printed template).
As shown in Fig. 2, the rear housing includes two mount-
ing holes for single-gang (
A
) and four mounting holes for
double-gang (
B
) electrical utility boxes, as well as four all-
purpose holes (
C
) for mounting to drywall or other surfac-
es (use minimum #6 screws suitable for the surface).
"
EXPANDER GROUP" DIALS
Inside the Expander are 2 rotary dials (see Fig. 3). These
dials are used to set the "Expander Group". All version 2
Gateways include an identical set of dials.
Therefore, the
dial values set on your Gateway MUST then match the dial
values set on your AL-IME2-EXP
Expanders.
IMPORTANT: Each Gateway in your system MUST be
set to a different "Expander Group" value along with its asso-
ciated Expanders. The "Expander Group" dial setting deter-
mines which Expanders are associated with which Gateway,
thus preventing Gateways from discovering unintended Ex-
panders.
Expander Group values of "
00
" through "
99
" are valid selec-
tions.
IMPORTANT:
The small "selection arrow" on each dial
must be pointing directly to the desired Group value. In Fig.
4 (below), the Group value is set to "
50
". Use a small flat-
head screwdriver to turn the dials and make the selections.
Be sure to orient the Expander as shown above with the RE-
SET button ABOVE the dials to ensure proper Group
setting!
POWER UP
Connect the 6VAC power transformer wires (non-polarized).
Upon power up:
●
Red LED solid (momentarily)
●
Yellow LED blinks (counting out "Expander Group" dial
setting).
Note:
Zero = No blink
●
Yellow LED solid + green LED flickering rapidly
Next, reset the Expander as follows:
Reset the Expander
IMPORTANT:
Before securing the Expander housing
cover,
ALWAYS
reset the Expander memory, even if the
Expander is new "out of the box" and/or has never been
used previously.
After initial power up, press and hold the "RESET" button
(see below for location); continue to hold the button until the
red light turns on solid. Now, release the button and the
green light will flicker rapidly
.
This "resetting" of the Expander clears all memory and en-
sures that any previous data is cleared from the unit.
Note:
Resetting the Expander also re-writes the
"Expander Group" dial setting into the Expander memory.
