The E-opto16 is an expandable module that has (16) dry contact inputs and is connected to any of the (4) RJ-45 expansion ports located on the front panel of the securityProbe 5E base units using standard CAT5 LAN cable.
A very wide variety of equipment that generates an output signal or voltage can be connected to each of the 16 dry contacts inputs located on the back of the E-opto16 expansion module, or E-module.
The (16) dry contact input LED status is displayed on the front panel of the E-module.
The E-opto16 E-module can be daisy chained together using the units input, or E-in and output, E-out ports located on the front panel of the E-module. These also are standard RJ-45 ports and use standard CAT cable.
These E-modules can be extended from the securityProbe 5E's base unit, or from each other up to 300 meters, or roughly 1000 feet.
Note: The 300 meter maximum run length is not the total run length of all of the E-modules combined. This is each E-modules maximum run length from either the base unit, or from each other.
There is not any limit to how many E-modules can be connected to a single securityProbe 5E base units. This solely depends on how many sensors are connected, as up to 600 sensors can be connected to a single securityProbe 5E.
A typical application for the E-opto16 would be to connect the outputs of an alarm panel to each of the 16 dry contact inputs allowing the securityProbe 5E's full featured built in notification system to be integrated into these alarm panels, or other systems that output a voltage. |
