Other Features

Power Supply

Device power is supplied from a 12VDC input. Ultra low current requirements ensure cost effective power distribution.


Small Footprint

The compact two-tier half DIN Rail module design takes up less valuable real estate to provide more control in less space.


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 can be updated using the Loadit utility over the system module network.


Connectivity and System Expansion
Expanding the Protege System with local inputs from the Input Expander allows convenient cost effective expansion:
> 16 inputs 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
