Input/Output Modules
Features That Make a Difference:
Provides cost-effective expansion of input and output capacity
Compatible with full range of Software House
®
iSTAR and apC
access control panels
Locate modules up to 1,220 m (4,000 ft) away from controllers using
flexible two-wire RS-485 RM bus
Reduces length of sensor and control wiring to save installation
costs
I8 provides eight Class A supervised inputs
R8 provides eight Form C relay outputs
I8-CSI, configurable supervised input model, allows use of existing
input wiring without changing end-of-line (EOL) resistors
Three status LEDs per input (red/yellow/green) and one per output
enable quick diagnostics and troubleshooting
Small, modular size requires minimal panel space
Dedicated tamper input included on each module
Optional UL-listed enclosure available
The Software House I8, R8, and I8-CSI modules provide a
flexible, cost-effective means to expand the input and output
functionality of any iSTAR or apC access controller. Common
applications include alarm monitoring and control and elevator
control.
The I8 input module provides eight Class A supervised inputs.
Three LEDs per input help the installer commission and
troubleshoot each input circuit – red if the input is in alarm,
green for normal, and yellow for a supervision error. LEDs may
be turned off via a DIP switch setting.
The I8-CSI module enhances the functionality of the standard
I8 module by supporting numerous supervised circuit types and
EOL resistance values. This allows the I8-CSI to accommodate
existing field wiring without changing EOL resistors. More
than 20 different circuit types are supported. The circuit type
is selected via a bank of DIP switches and applies to all eight
inputs on the I8-CSI.
The R8 output module provides eight Form C dry contact relay
outputs. A red status LED per output shows the state of the
relay.
All modules feature a dedicated input for an external cabinet
tamper switch and mount easily in the Software House RM-CAN
or RM-DCM-CAN enclosure. The modules communicate with
iSTAR or apC controllers via the two-wire RM bus that allows
total wiring distances of up to 1,220 m (4,000 ft). Up to eight I8s
and eight R8s can be connected to each apC, iSTAR eX, and
iSTAR Pro eight-reader model; up to 16 of each module can be
connected to the iSTAR Pro 16-reader model.
The modules are fully compatible with both C•CURE
®
800/8000
and C•CURE 9000.
