Contact Input Station – DIN
Installation Instructions
OVERVIEW
The DIN Contact Input Station Wire Link™ model, CIS10-DIN, features 10 contact
input channels for receiving Dry-Contact Open/Close states from external
devices.
Various types of external switches and sensors are available from Vantage and
other third party manufacturers. These include magnetic door contact switches,
momentary switches, motion detectors, stress sensors, humidity and
temperature sensors, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, driveway probes,
etc.
CAUTION
36V stations have a symbol on the Serial Number sticker. Any station, not displaying this symbol, 36, should not be connected to a 36Volt Station Bus.

SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE
The Wire Link model is compatible with In Fusion Design Center software. For new projects it is recommended that firmware and software be kept to the most current release.
INSTALLATION
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. There is one method of connecting the Station Bus to the Contact Input Station:
- Using the Station Bus connection on the removable screw terminal connectors.
CONNECTING DEVICE REQUIREMENTS
All low-voltage connections to each Contact Input are wired to removable screw
terminal connectors. All 10 Contact Inputs are available on the bottom of the
Station. Each Contact Input can be given custom names in software to
facilitate their use in the installation. Auxiliary 12VDC connections are
also available on the DIN CIS screw terminal connectors. There are 4 screw
terminal connections available with a maximum, combined current of 50ma or any
single connection with a maximum of 50ma. The ground for the 12VDC
connections is any one of the Contact Input ground connections.
The DIN CIS has two sets of removable screw terminal connectors on the bottom
for wiring. Any device that connects to the CIS must only use the CIS ground
for the ground reference. This is often called a “floating” or “isolated”
input to the DIN CIS. This isolation can be provided from several different
systems. The most common are door contacts and motion detectors, providing a
dry contact relay connection to the CIS. Battery powered devices that are not
connected to other equipment can be used with the DIN CIS. Devices that are
powered from the +12Vdc and CIS ground connections can also be used. Input 10
may be programmed as an auxiliary input or the Vantage LightPoint Sensor.
The DIN CIS inputs can accept small voltage levels (0 to 12VDC) instead of dry
contacts as long as the voltage is only referenced to the CIS’s ground. The
input will switch the CIS when the voltage reaches the required level. The
logic may be reversed in the software by changing the polarity from Normally
Open to Normally Closed. A power level of 0.0VDC to 0.5VDC equals a PRESS,
3.0VDC to 12VDC equals a RELEASE. A 2.0VDC power range is insufficient to
toggle an Open/Close state.
EXAMPLE:
| Current CIS State | Input Voltage | Resulting CIS State |
|---|---|---|
| Open | < 0.5V | Closed (PRESS) |
| Closed | >3.0V | Open (RELEASE) |
NOTE: WIRE RECOMMENDATION-Contact wire runs should be limited to 250 feet
/ 76.2 meters for each wire run, using a minimum of 20AWG gauge wire. All
connections use 4.4 inch pound torque. Stranded wire recommended.
STATION SET UP IN SOFTWARE
InFusion: First select the room, then click on Vantage Objects in the
Object Explorer and expand Stations, Wire Link. From the list of stations
double-click on the DIN Contact Input Station to place it in the room. In the
Object Editor, name the station and make sure it is on the correct Station
Bus port. Each contact is also listed in the Object Editor and may be assigned
to a task and given unique names, Polarity and Hold On Time settings.
QLink: In QLink Location view, select the floor and room where the
Contact Input Station will be added. Right-click on the room and select Add
DIN Stations. Select Contact Input. The Contact Input Station Box will pop up.
Each of the buttons on the CIS are programmed identically as Keypad Station
buttons.
PROGRAMMING CONTACT INPUTS
When programming, each Contact Input can trigger any appropriate tasks or
functions available in Design Center, and work like a button press and
release. Select switch polarity Normally Open or Normally Closed and set
Switch Hold Time (Default hold time of 0.00s, is normally used).
CONFIGURATION WITH WIRELINK MODELS
When the DIN CIS is first connected to the Station Bus, the Status LED will
blink twice followed by a pause, meaning that the station is connected
correctly but not yet configured. From Design Center, click in the Serial
Number section in the Object Editor and type in the serial number. Once
configured, the Status LED will blink evenly.
NOTE: The ability to configure a CIS station by pressing any button on
the front of the CIS was removed because it was possible for the station to
send unwanted presses during the configuration stage causing a station to
receive the wrong serial number. An example of this happening is as follows:
A CIS could have motion detectors connected to it and when walking through a
project to configure stations the person walking could inadvertently cause the
motion detectors to send button presses telling the software to configure the
station that was currently highlighted in the Configure Stations window. This
could happen on DIN CIS and Standard CIS stations. Now Button presses received
from dry-contacts are ignored when on-line configuration is selected.
DIAGNOSTIC AND TEST INFORMATION
Each contact input has an actuator button and 2 status LED’s. The actuator
button shorts the input to ground. The Contact State LED illuminates when the
contact input is grounded. The Program State LED operates the same as switch
LEDs on a keypad station.
When grounded, Contact States trigger the Program State ON or OFF depending on
whether the contact’s polarity is set to Normally Open or Normally Closed.
The Status LED blinks steady on and off for 1, 2, 3 or 4 blinks followed by a
pause.
One Even Blink: CIS is operating correctly and is configured
Two Blinks: CIS is operating correctly but is not configured (wired
model)
Three Blinks: CIS is not communicating with the Main Controller, verify
Station Bus wiring or if it is not yet configured
Four Blinks: Factory problem, please contact the factory
Five Blinks: Configuration mode
