Other Features
Power Supply
Device power is supplied from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost effective power distribution.
Connectivity and System Expansion
Expanding the Protege System with local inputs from the Input Expander allows convenient cost effective expansion and the added benefits of:
> 8 inputs (16 with input duplex mode) can be assigned to any 4 areas in the system each being processed using different options or features.
> Address configuration of the Input Expander interface is achieved using the address programming feature of the Protege System Controller.
Communication
A single RS-485 communication interface port used for all network communication functions and interconnects to other modules.
Upgradable Firmware
Utilizing the latest flash technology and high performance communication mediums, the firmware can be updated via the Protege interface.
