XPander Input/Output Unit
Installation Guide
General
Do not install any XPander equipment until a full site survey has been completed using the
XPander site survey tool. A maximum of 5 interfaces are permitted for each site. For sites
that require more than 5 interfaces please contact Apollo. All installation engineers must
have had certified XPander training.
The XPander Input/Output (I/O) Unit variants are available under the following part
numbers:
Part Number
Description
XPA-IN-14011-APO
Single Input/Output Unit
XPA-IN-14012-APO
Dual Input/Output Unit
The installation must conform to BS5839-1:2008 (or applicable local codes). The XPander I/O
Unit is suitable for indoor use only.
Compatibility
The XPander I/O Unit requires interface to be version 4B or higher.
Installation of XPander I/O Unit
Ensure that the XPander I/O Unit is sited in accordance with the survey and design require-
ments. The recommended minimum distance to any electrical equipment is two metres
radius (three dimensionally).
1. Calculate the number of cable entries and drill holes for cable glands in the lower
portion of the enclosure accordingly (Fig 1). Remove and replace the PCB if necessary
using anti-static precautions to avoid damaging the electronics.
2. Mount the XPander I/O enclosure using suitable fixings (No. 6/3.5mm screw clearance,
see Fig 1 for fixing positions) and connect all wiring.
3. Set the address and mode of relay operation; normal or fail safe (see address setting
overleaf)
4. Fit the power jumper shorting link and commission the unit according to the XPander
commissioning guide PP2286.
LED Indication
In order to aid with commissioning, the XPander I/O unit has LED indication of input and
output status. By default, LED indication is disabled to preserve battery life. LED indication
is enabled by pressing the LED Enable button once. LED indication will remain active for
10-minutes unless the button is pressed again.
Relay on
Illuminated red when relay is energised
Switch Closed Illuminated red when monitored field contact activated
Fault
Illuminated yellow when input wiring is open or short circuit
