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.


Connectivity and System Expansion
Expanding the Protege System with outputs from the Protege Half DIN Rail 8 Output Expander allows convenient cost effective expansion and added benefit of:
> 8 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
> Address configuration is achieved using the address programming feature of the Protege System Controller
> Outputs can be configured to automatically turn on or resume their previous state when powered up or during a communication failure

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 via the Protege interface.
