1. Introduction
Electronics Line’s 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander Module (EL-477 ) is an extension
module enabling wired devices to be connected to the iConnect 2-Way Control System
(SW versions 3 5 and above).
The iConnect 2-Way Control System supports up-to two 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander
Modules. Each 2-Way Wireless I/O Module supports 8 hardwired zone inputs, 2
auxiliary outputs and has the capability to control up to 2 PGM devices.
Each output or PGM device can be operated in a response to a wide variety of system
events. For detailed information regarding the programming options of the Wireless I/O
Expander Module refer to the iConnect 2-Way Control System Full Installation Manual.
The 2- Way Wireless I/O Expander Module is installed outside the Control System in its
own dedicated plastic unit equipped with case open and wall removal tamper
protection. The Wireless I/O Module is also provided with its own power supply and
backup battery.
2. Main Features
•Bi-directional wireless communication
•2 auxiliary parallel outputs
•8 zone inputs (NO, NC, EOL, DEOL)
•Fully supervised
•Dual tamper protection (Box & Wall)
•PGM connection for up to 2 PGM devices

3.2. Box & Wall Tamper
Box and wall tamper switches provides extra protection. If the plastic unit is opened the
front tamper switch is released and an alarm is generated. In the event that the plastic
unit is removed from the wall, the screw causes the perforated section of the plastic and
attached tamper mechanism metal plate to break and remain attached to the wall. As a
result, the back tamper switch is released and an alarm is generated.
The front tamper switch is located on the front of the circuit board and is depressed via a
spring when the front plastic cover is closed. The back tamper switch is located on the
rear side of the back panel and is constantl depressed.
Attach the tamper hole to the wall during mounting and attach the tamper connector
and lead to the main panel as shown in Figure 3-1.
Set the Tamper dipswitch SW1 according to our tamper protection preferences, see
Tamper B pass section, below.
3.2.1. Tamper Bypass
The circuit board provides an option to b pass the front and back tamper, as shown in
the following table:
Dipswitch SWI Setting Description
ON Tamper bypass is in effect. Use this setting during
programming and if no back tamper has been
connected.
OFF (Default) No tamper bypass is in effect. Use this option
when back tamper is connected to the system.
4. Choosing the Mounting Location
Before ou mount the 2-Wa Wireless I/O Expander Module plastic unit, stud the
premises carefull for the best possible coverage and et easil accessible to devices and
accessories. Consider the following before mounting the 2-Wa Wireless I/O Expander
Module plastic unit:
•Centralit of location among all the detection devices and transmitters
•Proximit to an uninterrupted AC power suppl
•Distance from sources of interference, such as direct heat sources, electrical
noise such as computers, televisions etc., large metal objects, which ma shield
the transmission antenna
•Dr ness

5. Mounting the 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander Module
The 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander module unit consists of back and front panels and
features plastic click-mountin for all internal components.
1. Separate the sub-assemblies by pressin the circular lockin plastic brackets on
either side to release the front cover, see Fi ure 5-1 below.
Figure 5-1: Box clip release
2. Remove the circuit board (Fi ure 3-1) and if required open knock outs for the
entry of input and power wires.
3. Hold the mountin bracket a ainst the wall as a template and mark the
locations for the mountin holes, as per Fi ure 5-2 (4 mountin holes and an
additional optional hole for securin the tamper protection bracket item).
Figure 5-2: Mounting screw template
4. Drill the desired mountin holes and place the screw anchors.
Note:
Do not permanently mount the plastic unit at this point of the installation.

6. Wiring the 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander Module
6.1. AC Adaptor and Circuit Board
The 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander Module is powered by an AC/DC Adap or 100-240V,
50/60Hz/14.4V,1.5A. Connec ion o AC power supply mus be permanen and connec
hrough he mains-fuse erminal block (see Figure 6-1, below).
Caution:
AC wiring should be done by a certified electrician.
1. Connec he AC adap er o he main fuse erminal block as shown in Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1: AC adapter and circuit board placement
2. Reins all he circui board and connec he power source plug o he power
inpu jack on he circui board, see Figure 3-1 and Figure 6-1.
Caution:
Do not connect to main AC power at this point of the installation.
3. Wire all inpu and ou pu peripherals as described in he following sec ions.
6.2. Zone Input Wiring
The 2-Way Wireless I/O Expander Module suppor s 8 hardwired zones (defined in he
iConnec 2-Way Con rol Sys em) ha can be defined as Normally Open, Normally
Closed, End of Line or Double End of Line resis or zones. Zone connec ion configura ion
