Comnet EXP100 Installation And Operation Manual

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
EXP100
EXPANSION MODULE FOR USE
WITH FDW1000 WIEGAND MODULE
When used with the FDW1000 series of fiber optic Wiegand extender modules,
the ComNet EXP100 Expansion Module enables additional Wiegand control
™
panels, readers, and associated door/gate hardware to be added to the network.
The 2-wire RS-485 data interface between the expansion modules provides a secure
and completely supervised connection, with excellent immunity to electrical noise
and interference. Up to 8 EXP100s can be used in a drop-and-repeat/daisy-chain
topology, and each EXP100 may be set to a unique address (1 thru 15) via DIP-switch
selection.
An auxiliary I/O (input/output) interface is available for ascertaining door, gate, and
control panel status and signaling, and a relay interface provides the door strike or
gate activation functions. See Figures 10 and 11 beginning on Page 5 for a guide
to the I/Os and Relay Controls.
The EXP100 is supplied as a remote unit for door or gate locations or a central unit
for control panel installation. See Figures 3 through 5 on Page 3 for Central and
Remote Dip Switch Settings.
These extenders are designed for long-term, reliable operation in harsh industrial
environments, and a fault-specific LED indicator is provided for rapidly ascertaining
the operating status of the extender and the link. See Figure 17 on Page 12 for an
explanation of LED indicators.
Packaged in a rugged aluminum housing, the EXP100 is designed for shelf or
surface mounting. See Figure A on Page 12 for mounting instructions.
See Figures 1 – 17 for complete installation details.
