The Single Input Expander is designed to allow the simple upgrade of systems where motion detectors, smoke detectors, and any other dry contact input devices have been deployed using a four-wire bus topology. Using the RS-485 module network, the expander is ideal for schools and larger sites where long cable runs and complex wiring routes are present.
Protege Single
Input Expander
PRT-ZX1
The Protege Single Input Expander provides the interface of an additional input for monitoring and automation in the Protege integrated access control, security and building automation system. With an input which can be used for extended monitoring functionality, the Single Input Expander provides extensive hardware advancements that allow flexible input programming and configuration.
- Ideal for schools and larger sites where long cable runs and complex wiring routes are present
- Enables the simple upgrade of older systems where detectors are connected in a four-wire bus
- Reduces the cost of labor for cabling during an upgrade
- Connects directly to the RS-485 module network and utilizes secure and encrypted RS-485 module communications
Features
Connectivity and System Expansion
Expanding the Protege System with local inputs from the Input Expander allows convenient cost effective expansion:
- An input can be assigned to any 4 areas in the system each being processed using different options or features.
- Address configuration is achieved using the address programming feature of the Protege System Controller.
Allows monitoring of a wide range of EOL capable or open contact sensors for security and building automation purposes.
A single RS-485 communication interface port used for all network communication functions and interconnection to other modules.
Device power is supplied from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost-effective power distribution.
Utilizing the latest flash technology and high performance communication mediums, the firmware can be updated via the Protege interface.
