12-32-0000 32 Port Input Expansion Module

The 12-32-0000 is a 32-input expansion module that may be used either autonomously with a serial to Ethernet converter or to expand the number of inputs on any transmitter that supports the Salcom protocol. Input modules may be daisy-chained together to provide as many inputs as required.

A simple LCD provides indication of current input states and system messages. LED’s provide an indication of system health, also upstream and downstream serial port activity. When a message is generated by an input module the content of the message will display (up to the first 16 characters) on the LCD momentarily.

The 12-32 supports multiple message queuing, and will queue at least 50 messages.  Pre-defined input messages are limited to a maximum length of 40 characters which may be configured using Salcom programming software.

Using the programming software (PSD), the input module may be configured to tag each message with a source description (e.g [01] or [Shed 1]).  Input actions, low supply detector settings and pre-defined messages may also be configured via the PSD.

The 12-32 is housed in an attractive, durable metal case with provision on the base plate for wall mounting.

• 32 External Inputs;
• LCD indication of current input states and system messages;
• Units may be “daisy-chained” to provide as many inputs as required;
• LED Power indication of normal operation and low power voltage;
• LED status indicators – Downstream Receive data, Downstream Transmit data, Upstream Receive data, Upstream Transmit data and System Error;
• Messages up to 40 characters in length;
• Input actions configurable via programming software;
• External inputs can initiate actions on high or low input input transitions;
• Low-supply detector can initiate a message for supply “going high” and “going low” conditions;
• Internal Watchdog will initiate an action after a pre-determined period and optionally allows the transmission of the current state of selected inputs;
• Supports Numeric or Alphanumeric Pagers.
