3.3.7.4. Settings / Peripherals - Digital Inputs
Digital Input Modules, Push Buttons or Temperature and Proximity sensors can be attached to the
ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
to monitor environmental conditions.
You can connect them to the RJ45 A-xBus connector on the ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
or behind an xBus
peripheral already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
(Daisy Chain Connection).
3.3.7.4.1. Digital Input Modules
Digital Input Modules with 16 inputs for dry contacts (door contacts, smoke and water detectors…) can be
attached to the ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
to monitor environmental conditions.
To connect a Digital Input Module to the ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
, use following procedure:
1. Set the dip switches on the bottom of the case so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with
another Digital Input Module already installed (see user's guide of the Digital Input Module).
- Do NOT connect the xBus cable and the Power adapter(s) before setting its DIP switches
- Do NOT use the same address for two different Digital Input Modules
2. Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the Digital Input Module to the RJ45 A-xBus connector
on the ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
or behind another xBus peripheral already connected to the
ePowerSwitch
*
8M+
R2
.
3. Connect the power adapter(s) to your Digital Input Module.
To configure the Digital Input Module, use following Log in procedure:
1. Open you browser and log in to the Administrator's Configuration Page,
(ex.
http://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
).
2. Enter the administrator name and password (default for both = admin). The home page appears.
3. Click on the Settings and then on the Peripherals Tab.
If the Digital Input Module is properly connected to the ePowerSwitch 8M+
R2
it will be automatically
recognized and displayed on this page after a delay of up to 60 seconds. In this case, the colour of the
corresponding Edit and Info symbol is red.
The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the
peripheral TAB again (or push [F5] or press <CTRL-R> on your keyboard if you use Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).
