iSTAR eX Connections
Inputs
Outputs
Readers
The following types of iSTAR eX connections are available:
Input connector – associates a security device with an input on iSTAR eX or add-on
module board
Output connector – associates an event or input with a relay on iSTAR eX or add-on
module board
Read head connectors – Direct connect Wiegand signaling read heads, and RM reader
modules.
An input is a software object that associates a security device, such as an alarm switch, with an
input on iSTAR eX or on an input module board. An input reports the state of the switch. All
inputs can be in one of two states: active or inactive.
A supervised input reports on the status of the wiring between the controller and the switch. If
the wiring is cut, the system reports an open circuit. If someone tries to jumper across the
wiring (prevent the device from reporting), the system reports a shorted circuit.
Supervised inputs can report a total of five conditions to the controller:
Short
Open Loop
Line Fault (resistance is outside of expected ranges)
Inactive,
Active.
NOTE
For UL Listed products, burglar alarm inputs must be supervised.
An output is a software object that associates an event or input with a relay on iSTAR eX or
add-on module. The relay then activates or deactivates devices, such as door locks, flood lights
and alarm devices.
Direct connect Wiegand signaling read heads can be connected to the GCM connector.
RM reader modules, I/8s, and R/8s can be connected to the PMB.
