Product Brief
Installation
8 Output / 7 Input INSTEON/X10 Controller
1. Using a standard CAT5(e) (3’ cable included), straight-through, patch cable,
connect one end into the RJ-45 connector on the bottom of your PLM.
2. Plug the other end of the patch cable into the “PLM” port on your EZIO8SA
3. Plug your PLM directly into an A/C outlet, preferably away from any low
voltage transformers, surge protectors, or other line-noise causing devices.
4. Connect 12V DC adapter (included) to EZIO8SA 9-18VDC port and plug
adapter into A/C outlet.

Input
Digital Inputs:
Inputs 1-4 (DI1 - DI4) are opto-isolated digital
inputs, which require 3-30V DC to trigger an INSTEON signal. When
connecting your inputs, ensure that the positive voltage goes to the
+
terminal and the negative goes to the
-
terminal. (See connection
examples on Wiki) For dry contact inputs, 12V can be used from the
EZIO8SA 12V DC terminal to connect to the + terminal of the input and
the input would be connected between the - terminal and GND.
Analog as Digital:
Inputs 5 and 6 (Anl1 & Anl2) are set up as digital
inputs by default with an input of 0-1 V DC triggering an ON command,
and 2-3 V DC triggering an OFF to the linked device(s).
Analog Inputs:
Inputs 5 and 6 (Anl1 & Anl2) are can also be used
for analog sensors and must be configured to trigger INSTEON signals
based on set “trip” points (0 to 1023) using a Harmony series gateway
or software, like the Utility Suite. The analog inputs are designed for
sensors that output 0 to 3V DC.
Note: If analog inputs will not be used, they need to be grounded to
the GND terminal to eliminate constant INSTEON traffic.
1-Wire Input:
The 1-Wire input is designed for the Dallas
Semiconductor temperature sensor, model DS18B20.
Output
The EZIO8SA comes equipped with 8 Form C (SPDT) relays,
rated up to 3 Amps at 120V AC and 7 inputs. Controlling
anything from low voltage to high voltage loads remotely is
easily made possible with this versatile automation controller.
The available inputs include: 4 opto-isolated, 2 analog (0-3VDC)
and one 1-Wire input, for use with 1-Wire devices like the
DS18B20 Dallas Semiconductor.
Coupled with an INSTEON Dual-Band PLM, the EZIO8SA
offers maximum INSTEON automation capability.
Form C (SPDT) Relays:
Each relay is rated for 3
Amps at 24V DC or 120V AC. The terminals are
labeled CM for common, NC for normally closed,
and NO for normally open.
Relays will respond to INSTEON commands when
linked to an INSTEON controller or when sent
direct or group INSTEON commands. Relays will
also respond to X10 unit codes 1-8 corresponding
to relays 1-8.
Output timers can be set from 1-255 seconds
or minutes using a Harmony series gateway or
software, like the Utility Suite.
Note: We’ve discovered that outputs 7 and 8 are
swapped. So, to control output 8, address output 7
and vice versa.
