Control4 IO Extender
取代 Wireless Contact/Relay Extender (CXM-RCR1-B)
Dec, 2009
如果你的C4系統需要更多的IR、serial ports、contacts 或 relays，此 IO Extender 能夠輕易的提供所需的擴大數入及輸出連接。可以透過紅外線輸出或serial ports 多增加12個以上的影音裝置。除此之外，你可以監控8個門，窗戶或是其他類型的感應器。然後控制8個不同的百葉窗，螢幕，大門或是其他使用relay ports由繼電器控制的裝置。甚至如果你不用所有提供的輸入或輸出，此 IO Extender也是最平價的裝置讓你對於C4系統有更多的控制或監控能力。
此 IO Extender的目的在於提供更靈活的在架子上或是牆壁上的安裝選擇。包含在內的機耳(rack ears??) 能夠面向裝置的前面或是構面安裝，所以裝置安裝在架子的前方或是後方，或是他也可以直接安裝在牆上或是用位於裝置下方的鑰匙孔安裝在標準的雙連配電箱。 | If your Control4 system needs more IR, serial ports, contacts or relays, the IO Extender can easily provide the needed expansion input and output connections. 12 more audio or video devices can be added using the IR outputs or serial ports. Additionally, you can monitor 8 additional doors, windows or other types of sensors. And control 8 different blinds, screens, gates or other relay-controlled devices using the additional relay ports. Even if you don't use all of the numerous inputs and outputs provided, the IO Extender is the most affordable device available to add even more control and monitoring to any Control4 system.
The IO Extender has been designed to provide flexible mounting options in a rack or on a wall. The included rack ears can be mounted facing the front or the rear of the unit so the device can be installed either in the front or rear of the rack, or it can be mounted directly on a wall or on a standard double-gang electrical box using the convenient keyholes on the bottom of the device. |

FAQ:
我如何把IO Extender安裝在架上或是牆上?
如果你是把IO Extender安裝在架上，你能把附上的機耳安裝在裝置上，所以裝置的前面或是後面是面向外面的。這也讓你可以用後面的安裝橫桿把它安裝裝置在架子後方。在裝置前方及後方的LED燈不管裝置是如何安裝在後方都會顯示狀態。如要簡易的安裝在牆上，在IO Extender下面的鑰匙孔直接對上標準雙連牆壁配電箱的螺絲孔。
IO Extender有無ZigBee?
沒有。IO Extender用乙太網路溝通的。ZigBee是一項控制協定然後通常不適合傳輸大量的數據。因為輸入輸出的量還有裝置潛在的寬頻需求要支援所有連線的裝置，不能可靠的使用ZigBee。
IO Extender的尺寸是?
IO Extender是一個1U裝置，是標準的架子寬。大約是6。25"深。所有的IO連線都位於裝置的後方。在裝置的前方後方都有會顯示同樣狀態的LED燈不管裝置是不是安裝成屁股向外面。
IO Extender適用於1.7.X的軟體嗎?
不行。IO Extender只能用在1.8.2或以上的系統軟體上。
Contacts & relay 是用哪種連接器?
contacts and relays 使用可插拔的電子轉換器，與過去和現今使用的很像。但是轉換器稍微小些讓它們能夠裝進1U裝置裡。連線使用大的線規，把管線裝在連接器裡就可以做到了。當用小點的線規或是移除之前的連接的管線時，你可以按壓在連接器孔上方的小片，用小螺絲起子鬆開管線保留機制。
在一個系統裡我可否用一個以上的IO Extender?
可以。Control4系統可以使用數個IO Extender。只要為每個使用的IO Extender把驅動程式的copy增加在系統裡，就像你如何在系統裡增加另外的主機或是觸控螢幕。 | Features:

FAQ:
How can I mount the IO Extender in a rack or on a wall?
If you are mounting the IO Extender in a rack, you can install the included rack ears on the unit so the front or back of the unit can face outward. This also allows you to mount the unit in the rear of a rack with rear mounting rails. The conveniently-located status LEDs on the front and back of the unit provide status regardless of how IO Extender is mounted in the rack. For easy wall mounting, the keyholes on the bottom of the IO Extender directly match up with the screw holes in a standard double gang electrical wall box.
Does the IO Extender have ZigBee?
No. The IO Extender communicates using Ethernet. ZigBee is designed as a control protocol and is normally not suitable to transmit large amounts of data. Due to the amount of IO available on the device and the potential bandwidth requirements to support all of the connected devices, ZigBee cannot be used reliably.
What are the dimensions of the IO Extender?
The IO Extender is a 1U device that is standard rack width. It is approximately 6.25" deep. All of the IO connections are located on the back of the device. The same status LEDs on the front of the device are also found on the back to provide status even if the device is mounted with the rear facing outward.
Can the IO Extender be used on 1.7.X software releases?
No. The IO Extender is only supported on system software version 1.8.2 or greater.
What type of connector is used for the contacts and relays?
The contacts and relays use a pluggable terminal connector similar to those used on past and current products. However the connectors are slightly smaller to enable them all to fit in a 1U device. Connections using larger gauge wire can simply be made by inserting the wire in the connector. When using smaller gauge wires or when removing previously connected wires, you can depress the small tab above the connector hole with a small screwdriver to release the wire retention mechanism.
Can I use more than one IO Extender in a system?
Yes. Multiple IO Extenders can be added to and used in a Control4?system. Simply add another copy of the driver to the project for each IO Extender used, just as you would add another Controller or Touch Screen to your system. |
