The Andover Continuum xP Expansion I/O Family provides a
convenient and cost-effective means to add additional inputs,
TM
outputs, or a local display to the Andover Continuum Infinet
TM
and BACnet
family of distributed controllers.
II
Andover Continuum xP Expansion I/O Family
Features
Up to two modules plus a local display
can be powered directly from any of
the following controllers in the Andover
Continuum Infinet II (i2) or BACnet (b3)
families: i2/b3 920, i2/b3 810, i2/b3 814, i2/
b3 850, i2/b3 851, or i2/b3 853.
The bCX1 Controller/Router models can also
be used to connect xP Expansion Modules (and
Display) and are the only controllers that support the
xPBA4 and xPBD4 module types. No external power
supply is required to power the Module(s). Consult
the xP Modules and Local Display Modules User
Guide for valid configurations.

Reducing Installation Time and Cost
• xPDI8 – The xPDI8 module allows the addition
of 8 Digital Inputs in a small enclosure.
• xPUI4 – The xPUI4 module allows the addition
of 4 Universal Inputs. Each can be configured
independently based on your needs for Digital,
Temperature, Motion Sensor, or Pulse Counter
Inputs, etc., providing built-in flexibility for your
different application requirements.
• xPAO2/xPAO4 – Both the xPAO2 (2 Analog
Outputs) and the xPAO4 (4 Analog Outputs)
allow the addition of Analog Outputs. Each
output has individual manual override switches to
select Manual, Off, or Auto for program control.
When in Manual mode, each output also has a
potentiometer to allow control of the override point.
• xPDO2/xPDO4 – Both the xPDO2 (2 Digital
Outputs) and the xPDO4 (4 Digital Outputs) allow
the addition of Digital Outputs. Each output has
individual manual override switches to select On,
Off, or Auto for program control.
• xPBA4/xPBD4 – Both the xPBA4 and the xPBD4
combine the functions of two xP Expansion
modules. Similar to the xPUI4, both allow the
addition of 4 Universal Inputs. The xPBA4 allows
the addition of 4 Analog Outputs (like the xPAO4),
and the xPBD4 allows for the addition of 4 Digital
Outputs (like the xPDO4). (Note: The xPBA4 and
xPBD4 Expansion Modules can only be connected
to the bCX1 Controller/Routers and ACX Series
Access Controllers.)

Local Display
The local display with keypad (xP Display) allows for
the addition of a fully programmable local display
module that can be mounted within 10 feet (3
meters) of the controller. Connected via a ribbon
cable, the xP Display easily allows the Operator
Interface to be mounted on the door of an enclosure
or on a wall below or next to the controller.

Programming
Programming with the Expansion Modules points
are treated in the same manner as the built-in I/O
points on the controller. Once the points have been
configured, they are available for graphics, Plain
EnglishTM programming, or for displaying data on
the display.
