Introduction
The Universal Interface (UIG-2) provides a
cost effective interface between an iCANnet
system and other control systems. Fitting
in a standard double gang UK style backbox
and powered through the iCAN network, this
compact versatile unit can be mounted virtually
anywhere. It has four optically-isolated digital
inputs and a further four inputs configurable
for either digital or analogue use. All inputs are
programmable as to their function. In addition
to the inputs there are four LED output drives
for visual feedback of switch activity.
The unit enables input controls such as
partition switches and faders to be used with
iCANnet systems. With configurable room join
functions, just moving room partitions
can open or close contacts to enable individual
or combined room control.

Installation
Supplied Parts
The universal interface is supplied with a
mounting plate for easy attachment to a
standard double gang UK style electrical back
box (not included).
Mounting
The mounting plate can be removed if it is
not required, allowing the universal interface
to be mounted in any convenient location. If
doing so, you must ensure that the universal
interface is supported such that it is electrically
isolated from any electrically conductive
material in that location. The unit must be
installed in a dry,
ventilated location where ambient temperature
and humidity are within the operating limits of
the product.

iCAN Network Connections
Connection to the iCAN network is made via a
removable 5-way connector block.
Network Termination
The iCAN network follows a daisy chain
topology that requires termination on the
devices located at either end of the network.
The UIG-2 is supplied with termination
disabled as standard. If it is connected as an
end device in the iCAN network, you need to
move the jumper to enable termination.
Operation Indicators
The UIG-2 has red and green indicators,
visible on the front of the unit, to assist
with configuration and troubleshooting.
iCANnet Identication Button
The UIG-2 features a small button, accessible
through the front panel, which sends an
identification message across the iCANnet
network when pressed.
Function Network Cable Colours
0V Black
CAN L White
Shield Silver
CAN H Blue
+12Vdc Red
IMPORTANT NOTE: Connecting a mains potential
cable to the iCAN Network terminals is likley to
damage the unit and other devices connected, and
invalidate warranty.

Input and Output Connection
Analogue / Digital Inputs
The UIG-2 has 4 inputs that can be individually
configured for either analogue or digital
operation.
Opto-isolated Digital Inputs
The unit has four opto-isolated digital inputs.
These inputs offer greater electrical protection
than the analogue/digital inputs, but can only
be used in digital mode.
The opto-isolation also offers better electrical
noise rejection for those installations where
this could be a problem.
To use these inputs, an external supply is
required, connected to the 12Vin pin.
0VOpto is provided as a landing connection for
convenience. An LED gives visual indication
when a supply is connected across 12Vin and
0Vopto.
Instead of an external supply, the 50mA
current limited 12Vout supply can be used,
however this will bypass the optical isolation.
To use this supply, connect 12Vout to 12Vin
and 0V to 0Vopto at the connector.
Switch closure is made between the input and
0Vopto. Wire distance from the device to the
UIG-2 should not exceed 10m (32 feet).
The function of each input is programmable
with iCANsoft.
Analogue Mode
In analogue mode, the inputs have a voltage
range of 0V to 10V. The input device is
connected across the appropriate input and the
0V reference. Wire distance from the device to
the UIG-2 should not exceed 10m 32 feet).
50mA current limited, regulated voltage
sources of 5V and 12V are also available at the
connector for devices such as variable resistors
without the need for an external supply.
Should the power supply to the UIG-2 be
below 12V, then the 12V source will follow the
UIG-2 supply voltage.
Digital Mode
In digital mode, switches can be connected
between the appropriate input and 0V.
The input functions can be programmed to
operate on both a switch closure and release.

Operation
The UIG-2 provides the standard input
functions which are available from the
iCANsoft application. For details
about the general use of iCANsoft, please refer
to the system Manual.
In addition, the UIG-2 provides sequences and
partitioning/ room join functions.
Sequences
Sequences allow a number of individual
actions (steps) to be linked together in order to
cause multiple operations from a single trigger
action.
The UIG-2 provides up to 16 sequences with
up to 128 steps each, with or without time
delays between steps.
The iCANsoft System Manual gives more
details on programming sequences.
Partitioning/Room Join
The UIG-2 allows for the programming of
simple room join functions, by using partitions.
The room join function operates by linking
areas.
A physical room partition can be detected by a
switch on the UIG-2 inputs. When the partition
is opened, an action in one of the areas will
cause the equivalent action in the other area.
The UIG-2 allows 4 room joins with up to 3
partitions each.
A Technical Note on Room Joins and
partitioning, with examples, is available.
LED Output Drives
The unit has four LED drive outputs, each rated
at 6.7V 10mA, which can be used to give visual
indication of programmed functions.
The outputs will indicate input selection for
the optoisolated digital inputs when they are
configured for scene selection.
The LED outputs can also be configured from
iCANsoft for indication of other functions.
LEDs are connected between the appropriate
output and the 0V connection. Wire distance
from the device to the UIG-2 should not
exceed 10m (32 feet).
