An I/O Box provides additional general purpose I/O
(input/output) for system enhancing monitoring
capabilities and for providing distributed system
automation via Virtual Relay.
More than one I/O Box can be installed in a system (up
to a maximum of 2 on an X8I). Each I/O Box features:
8Digital Inputs
54-20 mA Analog Inputs (1 is a dedicated
pressure input)
6Relay Outputs
Digital inputs can be used to monitor switching contact
devices. Each input can be set to act as an Alarm or
Trip input or used for Virtual Relay Automation. Digital
inputs can also be used for metering (for example m3,
ft3, kWh) providing an accumulative count of pulses
from a metering device.
Analog inputs can be used to monitor sensor
devices (for example: pressure, differential pressure,
temperature, dew point, flow, current, power, bearing
condition). Each input is equipped with adjustable high
or low level detection that can be used to activate an
Alarm or Trip or used for Virtual Relay Automation.
Relay outputs use the Virtual Relay Automation
technology and are totally configurable with dual
input logic functions. Relay functions can be assigned
utilizing any status or condition information available
on a system network from any compatible unit
connected to the network.
The I/O Box is designed to connect to a management
system using an industrial 2-wire RS485 data network,
with a total cable length up to 4000 ft (1219 m).

SECTION 4 INSTALLATION
It is recommended that installation and commissioning
be carried out by an authorized and trained product
supplier.
UNIT LOCATION
The I/O Box is wall mounted using conventional screws/
bolts. The maximum distance between the X8I and the
I/O Box is 4000ft (1219 m) of cable length. The maximum
distance between the I/O Box and each compressor
is 330ft (100 m) of cable length and within 330ft (100
m) of cable length from any pressure sensor option (if
applicable).
The cable used between the X8I and the I/O Box is
Belden 9841 (or equivalent). It should be run in grounded
conduit and should not be greater than 4000 feet
(1219m) in length.
POWER SUPPLY
A fused switching isolator must be installed to the
main incoming power supply, external to the I/O Box.
The isolator must be fitted with a properly sized fuse
to provide adequate protection to the power supply
cable used (in accordance with local electrical and safety
regulations).
Belden 9841 (or equivalent). It should be run in grounded
conduit and should not be greater than 4000 feet (1219
m) in length.
RS485 data communications and other low
voltage signals can be subject to electrical interference.
This potential can result in intermittent malfunction
or anomaly that is difficult to diagnose. To avoid this
possibility always use earth shielded cables, securely
bonded to a known good earth at one end. In addition,
give careful consideration to cable routing during
installation.
a) Never route an RS485 data communications or
low voltage signal cable alongside a high voltage
or 3-phase power supply cable. If it is necessary
to cross the path of a power supply cable(s),
always cross at a right angle.
b) If it is necessary to follow the route of power
supply cables for a short distance (for example:
from a compressor X8I to a wall along a
suspended cable tray) attach the RS485 or
signal cable on the outside of an earthed cable
tray such that the cable tray forms an earthed
electrical interference shield.
c) Where possible, never route an RS485 or signal
cable near to equipment or devices that may be
a source of electrical interference (for example:
3-phase power supply transformer, high voltage
switchgear unit, frequency inverter drive module,
radio communications antenna).
POWER SUPPLY TERMINALS
Ensure that the voltage select input is properly
jumpered for the incoming power. Default voltage
configuration is 230Vac.
RS485 NETWORK
The I/O Box is equipped with an RS485 network
communications capability using the IR485 protocol.
The I/O Box is intended to operate as part of the X8I
Management System. Connection to the system
management unit is two-wire, twisted pair, earth
shielded, RS485 data link. Connect the RS485 data cable
wires to terminal X07.
Note: Polarity is important.

The electrical input characteristics of the four adjustable
analog inputs can be individually altered to suit a sensor
or signal type using Analog Conditioning Modules
(ACM).
ACM devices are hardware modules that plug in to the
analog input circuit and condition the incoming signal.
For a particular sensor type the correct ACM device
must be selected and fitted.
TO CHANGE AN ACM DEVICE:
Remove the power from the unit.
ACM devices for analog inputs 1 to 4 are located within
the unit’s XPM-Ai4 module.
To gain access to the ACM devices remove the cover of
the XPM-Ai4 module. The ACM devices can be removed
and inserted by hand without the use of a tool.

Never use a metallic tool (screwdriver tip for example)
to remove an ACM device.
TO INSTALL AN ACM DEVICE:
Antistatic Precaution
ACM devices contain electronic components; take all
necessary antistatic precautions including:
Before handling an ACM device touch an exposed
1)
earthed surface to discharge any body static.
Always store in an anti-static container or package;
2)
never place on a non anti-static surface.
Handle the device by the edges; never touch the
3)
electronic com[ponenets on the device.
ACM IDENTIFICATION
# ACM devices are classified by a number and can be
readily identified by color:
Any ACM type can be fitted to an analog input socket.
ACM devices can be fitted in the XPM-Ai4 module in any
required combination.
The I/O Box is shipped with four type 3 ACMs installed
and two spare type 6 ACMs.
Example: for analog input 1 (Ai1):
Before inserting an ACM device check the pins of the ACM
and the XPM-Ai4 socket.
ACM devices are designed to mount in the XPM-Ai4
socket at an angle. This is intended to retain the device
securely in the socket in the instance of mechanical
vibration.
When an ACM device is fitted the ‘AT: Input Type’ menu
setting for the analog input must be adjusted to match
the ACM type number.
