• C4-IOX-E-B IO Extender
Introduction
The Control4® IO Extender opens up a whole world
of options in the Control4 system to control home
theaters, video devices, motion sensors, and other
devices that use infrared (IR), serial, contact, and
relay connections. The IO Extender serves well as
the companion to the Home Controller HC-1000
to expand output capability; in addition, the IO
Extender provides flexible options for mounting in an
equipment rack (1U) or on a wall.
To mount the unit on the wall, remove the optional
feet to use the keyholes on the bottom of the unit.
These keyholes are designed to fit the screw spacing
found on a standard U.S. double-gang box.
To mount the unit in a rack, install the included
rack mount ears and install the device in the rack.
The device can be mounted with the front facing
outward, or optionally, it can be mounted on the
equipment rack's rear rails with the rear of the device
facing outward for easier access to the input and
output connectors. The rack mount ears can be
mounted to the bottom of the device with the ears at
the front (for front rack mounts), or alternatively, with
the ears at the back (for rear rack mounts).
