VBUS
VBUS is an internal communication bus that related VBUS
modules are used with. The VBUS is not intended for external
use. It is designed to be used in a protected enclosure with
adjoining interconnection between modules in the same
enclosure. VBUS devices must be located behind the tamper
switch of its host device. Therefore, the wire length cannot exceed
the size of the box. Three conductors are required.

Alarm Input Wiring
The Input Expansion module contains 16 software-configurable
alarm inputs that can be used for alarm device monitoring. Each
input can be configured, via the TruPortal User Interface, as either
NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) in combination with
either supervised or non-supervised wiring.

Power
Power is supplied to the Output Expansion board from the Input
Expansion board. Power for the Input Expansion board can be
passed through the SNAPP connection.
Optionally, auxiliary power may be used to power the I/O
Expansion Module. The 12 VDC auxiliary output (at TB13)
supports up to 10 mA.
