Connecting Expansion Board Switch Inputs

The expansion module contains 32 programmable switch inputs that are controlled 
in sections of eight as with the 24 switch  inputs of the controller. Each section of 
eight switch inputs is set to either dry contact or up to 24 VDC with jumpers as well. 
On the expansion module the jumpers are labeled by the numbered range of switch 
inputs they control instead of by jumper number. For example, the jumper that sets 
switch inputs 1-8 is labeled “1-8.” Dry and up to 24 jumper positions are labeled 
“N” and “R”. Refer to Figure 24a for jumper details. The illustration below (Figure 25) 
indicates jumper location and labeling.

Figure 25 above also shows one more set of jumpers:  jumpers  labeled J5 (with 
positions A and B) and J6 (positions C and D). The L35 Series can accept up to 
120 programmable switch inputs, comprised of 24 from the controller and 3 X 32 
from expansion boards. If more than one expansion card is used for additional 
switch inputs, the controller must be able to distinguish expansion boards. There-
fore, A, B, C, D refer to board identifi cation settings. If the expansion module will 
interface with inputs 25-56, the jumper should be set to A. The board that inter-
faces 57-88 should be set to B, and so on. The installer should note that there is 
not a D module. 

The maximum number of expansion boards possible is three. Do 

not attempt to install a fourth expansion board and set its jumper to D; the L35 
Series controller will not recognize the inputs.

 Use Figure 24b to properly set the 

identifi cation jumper.

1. Remove power to the controller. 

Remove the yellow/blue power harness by 

lifting on its terminator block.

2. Set jumpers. 

See explanations and Figures 24 and 25 above.

3. Connect the switches to the expansion board.

 Refer to Step 3 instructions 

under “Connecting Switch Inputs” in this manual. 

3. Reconnect power to the controller.

CAUTION: Before handling any components on the circuit board, the 
installer should be grounded.
