Other Features

Power Supply
The Protege DIN Rail 16 Input Opto-Isolated Expander operates from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost effective power distribution.

Connectivity and System Expansion
Expanding the Protege System with local inputs and outputs from the Protege DIN Rail 16 Input Opto-Isolated Expander allows convenient cost effective expansion and added benefit of:
> 16 opto-isolated inputs capable of a large voltage range, ideal for use in lift control or automation installs
> 4 multiple function outputs for use in any programmable output entry, ideal for connection in an electrical switch room to control signage, lighting and building automation or system indicators
> Address configuration is achieved using the address programming feature of the Protege System Controller

Communication
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 of the Protege DIN Rail 16 Input Opto-Isolated Expander can be updated using the ICT Loadit utility over the Protege system module network.
