Protege DIN Rail
8 Input / 4 Output Expander

PRT-IO84-DIN

The Protege DIN Rail 8 Input 4 Output Expander extends the number of inputs by 8, allowing monitoring of a wide range of EOL capable or open contact sensors; and extends the number of outputs by 4, featuring high current Form C relays for controlled automation of building systems including lighting and HVAC.

8 monitored inputs
Connect any combination of normally closed or normally open inputs, configurable per input
Four-state input alarm using resistors to provide short, alarm, closed and tamper conditions
4 Form C relays capable of switching resistive loads up to 7 Amps

Features

Connectivity and System Expansion

Extending the Protege system with local inputs and outputs allows convenient, cost-effective expansion with the following additional benefits:

8 inputs can be assigned to any 4 areas in the system each being processed using different options or features
4 multiple-function outputs available for use in any programmable output configuration
Outputs can be configured to automatically turn on or resume their previous state upon restoration of power or communication failure
Address configuration is achieved using the address programming feature of the Protege System Controller.

Power Supply

Device power is supplied from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost-effective power distribution.

Outputs

The input/output expander has 4 programmable Form C relay outputs which can be used to activate bell sirens, lighting circuits, door locks, relay accessory products and other automation points.

Communication

A single RS-485 communication interface port used for all network communication functions and interconnection to other modules.

LED Indicators

The input/output expander features comprehensive diagnostic indicators that can aid in diagnosing faults and conditions. LED indicators include:

Status indicator
Fault indicator
Power indicator
Input indicators
Output indicators

Upgradable Firmware

Utilizing the latest flash technology and high performance communication mediums, the firmware can be updated via the Protege interface.
