Connecting Zone Expanders
The HUNTER-PRO 896 has a basic 8 zones configuration. This can be expanded to
have more zones and outputs by using different expansion cards and add-on devices.
The following is a brief scan of the zone and outputs expansion options. A detailed
installation description is found further on.
EXP-PRO
Local expansion card with 8 line zones. These zones will always be
numbered 9-16. See further on page 20.
I/O-8N
8 zones and a relay. It connects to the KEYPAD connections of the
control panel’s PCB. Up to 11 I/O-8N cards can be installed in HUNTER-
PRO 896.
I/O-16N
Expansion card with 16 zones and a relay. It connects to the KEYPAD
connections of the control panel’s PCB. Up to 5 I/O-16N cards can be
installed in HUNTER-PRO 896.
I/O-WN
Wireless expansion card with wireless receiver. The receiver supports 32
wireless zones as well as 24 Key fobs for arming/disarming, send duress
code and control an output.
OUT-1000
Expansion card with 8 outputs for triggering external units. See page 28
for connecting instructions.
I/O-R
Expansion card with 8 relays for operating CCTV and spotlights. The
relays can be triggered directly or as a respond to alarm. See more on
page 28.
IMPORTANT! When connecting both line and wireless expanders, the system
first numbers the line zones and only than the wireless zones. Within the
line expanders, the system first numbers the EXP-PRO expander, if installed.
Only afterwards the other expanders are numbered.
The expanders connected through the BUS are numbered in ascending order
according to their ID.
Examples of zone numbering:
One I/O-8N/R card:
If EXP-PRO is installed: is numbered 17-24.
If EXP-PRO is not installed: is numbered 9-16 (when installed, EXP-PRO is
always numbered 9-16).
Two I/O-8N/R cards (16 zones):
If EXP-PRO is installed: are numbered 17-32.
If EXP-PRO is not installed: are numbered 9-24.
11 I/O-8N cards (88 zones):
No EXP-PRO card can be installed! (zone number cannot exceed 96)
Zones will be numbered 9-96: 8 zones onboard and 11 times 8 zones (88) on
each I/O-8N card.
