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 3for 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.

1. Initialize the EXP100 following these steps:
2. With the power off, set DIP switch #1 to ON, all other DIP switches to OFF.
3. Apply power to the EXP100. The STATUS LED should illuminate solid green.
4. Remove power and set all DIP switches to OFF.
5. Proceed with the following table to set DIP switches for address and Wiegand direction.
l= ON
¡= OFF
Each EXP100 can be set to a unique address,
1 through 15.
When using the EXP100 units with a ComNet
gateway system, the addresses must be set
consecutively from 1 to the maximum address.
Most ComNet gateway systems will support a
maximum of eight (8) devices (refer to the ComNet
FDW100(M,S) Instruction Manual).
Example:
In a FDW1000 system set up with four (4) pairs of
EXP100 units, the addresses should be set: 1, 2, 3, 4
for the four pairs that will be used (not 2, 3, 4, 5 or 4,
6, 7, 8, etc.)
Note: To operate as a Wiegand Transmitter
(“Central”) unit, DIP switch #2 must be ON.
In a ComNet FDW1000 gateway system,
Dip switch #3 must be OFF.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone module. Units should be
installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and
humidity.
CAUTION: Take care not to press on the LED.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
