The extension AMC2-16IE can be used with a controller. It allows to extend a controller with additional input ports. Figure 3.1: The extension AMC2-16IE The API-AMC2-16IE has 16 analog inputs. The analog inputs can be wired with potential-free contacts, such as door or relay contacts. The extension electronics are completely covered by a plastic housing.
The extension must be addressed accordingly (1-3). In the example, the power is supplied via the controller. If necessary, it is also possible to use a separate power supply for an extension. 2024-01 | V02 | Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation manual...

Push down the extension until the lower edge snaps out of the mounting rail [1]. Pull the lower end of the extension from the mounting rail [2]. Figure 4.2: Unmounting the AMC2 device on a mounting rail Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2024-01 | V02 | Installation manual...
Insert the hooks on the lower edge of the front cover into the lugs on lower edge of the plastic back cover [1]. Ensure that the BOSCH logo is not upside-down. The upper edge of the front cover now aligns with the two-point snap-in closures on the upper edge of the back cover [2], and may thus be clicked gently into place.

Connect an external power supply (10 VDC - 30 VDC) to the extension at pin 1 (positive) and pin 3 (0 V) of the pluggable screw connector. Bosch recommends using the Bosch APS-PSU-60 power supply unit. This power supply can also be used as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) when using the appropriate batteries.
The power can also be supplied by the controller. In this case, the supply voltage is also connected (pin 1-2) in addition to the data lines (pin 3 - 6).
