D-306783 ioXpander-12x4 Module (Rev 2, 11/17)
4.
Configuration
The PowerMaster-33 E G2 can support up to 4 ioXpander-12x4 Modules for a total of 48 wired zones.
Every ioXpander-12x4 Module is connected and registered to the ioXpander-8 module using a RS-485 bus
(230000 bps).
The ioXpander-12x4 has two LEDs
Green
Power - Lights continuously when powered.
Red
When the ioXpander-12x4 is connected, registered, and communicating with the
PowerMaster-33 E G2 the red LED is off. Otherwise, it blinks every second.
4.1
Inputs:
Every HW-Zone that connects to a ioXpander-12x4 Module must be enrolled in the PowerMaster-33 E G2. Each
ioXpander-12x4 Module can connect up to 12 HW Zones. For more information refer to
section 6: “Enrollment
Process.”
Configure each HW-zone wiring type setting: EOL/NO/NC based on the type of sensor wired to the zone input
(see
below).
Note:
Each HW-Zone reports 3 possible states: Normal, Alarm, or Tamper. Both Line Cut and Line Short are
reported as Tamper (see below). Regarding the wired zones, the control panel classifies the events according to the
resistance it measures as shown in the tables below.
