The six-inch deep enclosure provides room to mount the

I/O modules on three built-in DIN rails. The DIN rails are attached to a removable steel back plate, which allows

you to mount the actual enclosure separately from the

rail, plug the built-in power/communications connector on the left side of each module into the complimentary

connector on the right side of the previous module, and then snap-close the quick-release fasteners to lock the

module in place on the rail. It’s that easy!

More I/O modules, if needed, can be located in additional

groups of I/O modules can be located outside an enclosure, for example, to control a remote door or lighting system.

All additional I/O modules are connected to the

power supply.

The enclosure’s welded design and rugged cold-rolled steel construction ensure durability. Vertical support bars on

the inside of the cabinet door provide added rigidity and a built-in door lock guards against tampering. Cable

management troughs underneath each DIN rail streamline and protect wiring runs. A bracket for two 12V 7.0 AHr

sealed rechargeable batteries is provided at the bottom of the enclosure for UPS support.

The front door of the enclosure contains removable sections into which the

can be mounted. These modules—the LB-8 LED Bar Module, LS-8 LED 3-Digit Module, LC-1 2-Line Display with

optional VM-1 Voice Module, and the GA-40/80 Graphic Annunciator Panels—are secured directly into the back of

the door with screws and connected to the I/O bus by a five-conductor cable assembly. The

simply treats these display modules as additional I/O modules. Up to nine display modules can be mounted on the

door. Mix various combinations of display modules to meet your specific operator interface needs. Alternately, the

enclosure can be ordered with only three tinted Plexiglas panels in the door. This option allows you to view the

status lights of all internal modules when the enclosure door is closed.

The LB-8 LED Bar Module provides a cost-effective way to view and modify your facility operation with 8 programmable LED

indicators, each with its own programmable companion push-button with audible feedback. The LB-8 is an excellent choice for

basic equipment status indication, ON/OFF control, and override capability. Programming the LED indicators and push-buttons is

The LS-8 LED 3-Digit Display Module combines eight 3-digit 7-segment LED displays with 8 companion up/down arrow push-

buttons. Use the LEDs to display building parameters such as temperature, airflow, humidity, or occupancy status. The up/down

arrow push-buttons with audible feedback allow an operator to turn equipment on and off, change set points, air balance VAV

boxes, adjust override time, arm and disarm a security system, etc. Programming the LED displays and up/down push buttons is

pressures, view equipment status, change setpoints and schedules, turn equipment on and off, or air balance VAV boxes. The

keys can also be programmed to perform a wide variety of functions, including switching a specific zone to occupied mode,

signaling an alarm condition, adjusting the amount of override time, arming and disarming a security system, and enforcing

password security. Programming the display and function keys is done with Andover Controls
