The Software House I8, R8, and I8-CSI modules provide a flexible, cost-effective means to expand the input and output functionality of any iSTAR or apC access controller. Common applications include alarm monitoring and control and elevator control.
The I8 input module provides eight Class A supervised inputs. Three LEDs per input help the installer commission and troubleshoot each input circuit – red if the input is in alarm, green for normal, and yellow for a supervision error. LEDs may be turned off via a DIP switch setting.
The I8-CSI module enhances the functionality of the standard I8 module by supporting numerous supervised circuit types and EOL resistance values. This allows the I8-CSI to accommodate existing field wiring without changing EOL resistors. More
than 20 different circuit types are supported. The circuit type is selected via a bank of DIP switches and applies to all eight inputs on the I8-CSI.
Input/Output Modules
Features That Make a Difference:
Provides cost-effective expansion of input and output capacity
Compatible with full range of Software House® iSTAR and apC access control panels
Locate modules up to 1,220 m (4,000 ft) away from controllers using flexible two-wire RS-485 RM bus
Reduces length of sensor and control wiring to save installation costs
I8 provides eight Class A supervised inputs
R8 provides eight Form C relay outputs
I8-CSI, configurable supervised input model, allows use of existing input wiring without changing end-of-line (EOL) resistors
Three status LEDs per input (red/yellow/green) and one per output enable quick diagnostics and troubleshooting
Small, modular size requires minimal panel space Dedicated tamper input included on each module Optional UL-listed enclosure available
The R8 output module provides eight Form C dry contact relay outputs. A red status LED per output shows the state of the relay.
All modules feature a dedicated input for an external cabinet tamper switch and mount easily in the Software House RM-CAN or RM-DCM-CAN enclosure. The modules communicate with iSTAR or apC controllers via the two-wire RM bus that allows total wiring distances of up to 1,220 m (4,000 ft). Up to eight I8s and eight R8s can be connected to each apC, iSTAR eX, and iSTAR Pro eight-reader model; up to 16 of each module can be connected to the iSTAR Pro 16-reader model.
The modules are fully compatible with both C•CURE® 800/8000 and C•CURE 9000.
