Installation Guide ioXpander-12×4 Module

Introduction

This installation guide provides the basic instructions for Visonic’s ioXpander-12×4 Module installation scenarios. A new addition to the PowerMaster-33 E G2 control panel, the ioXpander-12×4 Module is a wired input/output expander that communicates with the PowerMaster-33 E G2 through the ioXpander-8 module.
ioXpander-12×4 Module Features:

• 12 wired inputs that enable to connect to 12 H/W zones
• 4 relay outputs.
• Siren output (SRN) and Strobe output (STR)
• Front and back cover tamper switches for improved tamper protection
• RS-485 bus to communicate with the panel
• The ioXpander-12×4 Module is supported by the PowerMaster-33 E G2 only

1.1 Terminology:

General Guidelines

1. Keep away from all heat sources.
2. Do not expose to air drafts.
3. Do not install outdoors.
4. Avoid direct sunshine.
5. Keep wiring away from power cables.
6. Mount on solid stable surfaces.

IMPORTANT: The ioXpander-12×4 Module MUST BE POWERED DOWN while wiring the I/Os and when connecting to the RS-485 bus. This will prevent accidental damage to the device.

Installing the ioXpander-12×4 Module

The ioXpander-12×4 Module enclosure provides tamper detection and accessible wiring cavities.

1. To open the front cover: remove screws on the sides, place fingers in the opening grove of each side and the push the cover upward.

2. Release the protective cover snap and remove the cover.

3. Remove the securing screw and push the tab to release the PCB with the interface.
   

4. Knockouts provide cable accessibility when mounting on gang boxes or over hollow panels. Use a cutter or screwdriver to open knockouts. Insert screws through rear cover into the wall or ceiling. Note: make sure the trunking knockouts align with the holes.
   

5. Mount to wall. To mount onto a wall, insert screws through the corners holes of the base. Note: drill mounting holes first. To thread wiresfrom the side, open the wire holes from any direction (there is one on each side of the box), and thread the wires through the holes. Wrap any excess wire around the PCB.
   

6. Snap the PCB back into place and make sure the tamper cap is in place. Thread the cables inside the box through the cable cavities and connect as needed to the terminal blocks.

7. Assemble the protective cover by placing it over the interface and snapping it into place.

8. Place the top cover and secure it with screws on both sides

Configuration

• The PowerMaster-33 E G2 can support up to 4 ioXpander-12×4 Modules for a total of 48 wired zones.
• Every ioXpander-12×4 Module is connected and registered to the ioXpander-8 module using a RS-485 bus (230000 bps).

The ioXpander-12×4 has two LEDs

the
PowerMaster-33 E G2 the red LED is off. Otherwise, it blinks every second.

4.1 Inputs:
Every HW-Zone that connects to a ioXpander-12×4 Module must be enrolled in the PowerMaster-33 E G2. Each ioXpander-12×4 Module can connect up to 12 HW Zones. For more information refer to section 6: “Enrollment Process.”
Configure each HW-zone wiring type setting: EOL/NO/NC based on the type of sensor wired to the zone input (see below).
Note: Each HW-Zone reports 3 possible states: Normal, Alarm, or Tamper. Both Line Cut and Line Short are reported as Tamper (see below). Regarding the wired zones, the control panel classifies the events according to the resistance it measures as shown in the tables below.

If the Wiring Type is End of Line – NC

• When there is NO ALARM – the Panel detects 2.2K ohm between Zx and GND.
• When there is ALARM – the Panel detects 4.4K ohm between Zx and GND.
• When there is TAMPER or cut circuit the Panel detects: ∞ ohm. When the line is short circuited the panel detects 0 between Zx and GND.

If Wiring Type is NC

• When there is NO ALARM – the Panel detects 0 ohm (short circuit) between Zx and GND.
• When there is ALARM – the Panel detects: ∞ ohm (cut circuit) between Zx and GND.
•  When there is TAMPER – N/A

If Wiring Type is NO

• When there is NO ALARM – the Panel detects: ∞ ohm (cut circuit) between Zx and GND.
• When there is ALARM – the Panel detects: 0 ohm (short circuit) between Zx and GND.
• When there is TAMPER – N/A

4.2 Outputs:
The PowerMaster-33 E G2 supports up to 16 outputs. The first 8 outputs are reserved for the ioXpander-8 Module. The other 8 outputs (PGM9 – PGM16) can be distributed among the ioXpander-12×4 Module. The installer needs to enroll each PGM output to the required output pin of the required ioXpander-12×4 Module. For more information refer to section 6: “Enrollment Process.”
4.3 Siren and Strobe Outputs:
The ioXpander-12×4 Module has built-in Siren and Strobe outputs. There is NO NEED TO ENROLL these outputs. The Siren and Strobe outputs automatically activate when their functions are enabled in the PowerMaster-33 E G2. The installer can choose to leave these outputs unconnected.

5.1 Wiring:

• Power should be wired using < 22 AWG. Data should be wired using 26 AWG (Cat 5).
• The wired detector should be installed at least 2 meters away from the control panel.
• The Panel that connects to the ioXpander-12×4 Module should be wired as a bus configuration.

Use only a power supply that is safety approved for IEC/EN 60950-1 as a limited power source (LPS) with a rated voltage of 12Vdc and rated current of 1a max.
Both the CP and PS that are used for powering the ioXpander-12×4 Module must be EN 50131-6 certified. The loads that can connect to the relay outputs must be limited to a maximum of 12 VDC, 8A or 24 VDC, 4A!
Example of ioXpander-12×4 Modules connected to external power supply with 12 hour backup battery.

5.2 Termination:

Enter the device ID, “441-xxxx” as it appears on the ioXpander-12×4 Module’s back casing and press . The following is displayed:
“ID ACCEPTED” “E0x:Expander IOV” “ID NO. 441-xxxx”
After connecting the ioXpander-12×4 Module to the PowerMaster-33 E G2 and exiting the Installer Mode, the ioXpander-12×4 Module enrolls into the system.
6.5 Step 5 (optional: to change a specific ioXpander-12×4 Module’s ID)
Select the desired ioXpander-12×4 Module number: E01…E04 and press .
Note: The ioXpander-12×4 Module has no Location or Device Settings that need programming.
Note: Only after the ioXpander-12×4 Module is enrolled can its Inputs (Step 6) and Outputs (Step 7) be enrolled.
6.6 Step 6 – Pre-enroll an HW-Zone to a ioXpander-12×4 Module’s Input
To define a HW-Zone onto a ioXpander-12×4 Module:
6.6.1 On the Keypad, select the “ADD NEW DEVICE” men u.
6.6.2 Enter the following 7 digits code: “052-0xyy”. The following is displayed:
“ID ACCEPTED” “Zxx:Wired Sensor” “ID NO. 052-0xyy”

The installer may change the pre-programmed HW-Zone number (only) at this point using Next/Back buttons and then pressing OK.
The Input “yy” of ioXpander-12×4 Module number 0x is now associated to HW-Zone Zxx.
6.6.3
Configure the HW-Zone settings (Location, Zone Type, SET CHIME, DEV SETTINGS: WIRING TYPE) like every other HW-Zone (for more information consult the KP-250 PG2 Installer Guide).
6.7 Step 7 – Pre-enroll PGM Output to a ioXpander-12×4 Module’s Output
To define a PGM Output onto a ioXpander-12×4 Module:
6.7.1 Select “ADD NEW DEVICE.”
6.7.2 Enter the following 7 digits code: “072-0x0y”. The following is displayed:
“ID ACCEPTED” “Pxx:PGM on HwExp” “ID NO. 072-0x0y”

Note: Pxx may be P09-P16 (PGM9-PGM16). PGM1-PGM8 are reserved for the ioXpander-8 module.
The installer may change the pre-programmed PGM Output number (only) at this point using Next/Back buttons and then pressing OK.
Output “0y” of ioXpander-12×4 Module number “0x” is now associated (attached) to PGM Output Pxx.
Note: The PGM Output has no Device Settings that need programming.
The Installer may configure the PGM Outputs in the Menu: “05:OUTPUTS” → “PGM OUTPUTS” → “PGM on HwExpndrs” → “E0x:Expander IOV” → “Pxx:PGM PIN #0y”, (for more information consult the KP-250 PG2 Installer Guide).
6.8 Cautions-

• If an enrolled ioXpander-12×4 Module does NOT communicate with the PowerMaster-33 E G2 (whether it is powered OFF, not connected, or for any other reason), the following is displayed on the KP-250 screen: “Expander IOV E0x MISSING”, it must be deleted at once by the Installer.
• Every ioXpander-12×4 Module connected to the PowerMaster-33 E G2 must be enrolled.
• Whenever deleting a ioXpander-12×4 Module, all its defined HW Zones and PGM Outputs are also deleted.
