PRT-PX8-DIN
The 8 Output Expander extends the Protege system with an additional 8 outputs for automation.
Featuring high current Form C relays, the output expander provides extensive hardware advancements that allow flexible and structured control of building systems including lighting and HVAC.
Connectivity and System Expansion
Extending the Protege System with onboard local outputs allows convenient, cost effective expansion with the additional benefits:
The output expander has 8 programmable Form C relay outputs which can be used to activate bell sirens, lighting circuits, door locks, relay accessory products and other automation points.
Device power is supplied from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost-effective power distribution.
A single RS-485 communication interface port used for all network communication functions and interconnection to other modules.
The input expander features comprehensive diagnostic indicators that can aid in diagnosing faults and conditions. LED indicators on the input expander include:
Utilizing the latest flash technology and high performance communication mediums, the firmware can be updated via the Protege interface.

* The Total Combined Current refers to the current that will be drawn from the external power supply to supply the expander and any devices connected to its outputs. The Auxiliary outputs are directly connected via thermal resettable fuses to the N+ N- input terminals, and the maximum current is governed by the trip level of these fuses.
