Overview
The Sensor IQ Contact Input Option Card (IQ-CI) provides the ability to directly control the circuits using a
momentary or maintained dry contact input. This document details the installation of this card in the
Sensor IQ Intelligent Breaker Panel.
Installation
The Contact Input Option Card can be installed on either interior wall of the low voltage
cavity.
1: There are four plastic standoffs included with the option card kit. Align the standoffs with the
mounting holes on the option card so the fins are located opposite the connectors.
2: Press gently until the plastic tabs pass through the mounting hole, locking into place.
3: Align the standoffs with the mounting holes on the interior of the low voltage cavity.
4: Press gently until the plastic tabs pass through the mounting hole, locking the option card into place.
Connect Wiring
The Contact Input Option Card provides four bus connections for termination of up to 24 individual dry
contact inputs. A pluggable screw connector is provided for each input and accepts 4–1 mm2(12-18 AWG)
Class 2 wire. Each connector is labeled to assist in relay referencing during termination.
1: Pull wire from the device supplying the contact closure into the Sensor IQ through the low voltage
trough. Reference the
Sensor IQ Installation Manual for cable routing and conduit access
information.
Note:
It is best to install any panel option kits after conduit rough-in and load wiring
terminations are complete to reduce the likelihood of damage to the option card. For
additional information on panel installation, reference the
Sensor IQ Installation Manual.

2: Strip the insulation from each wire pair back 6 mm (1/4 in).
3: Remove the pluggable screw connector header on the Contact Input board.
4: Using a 3 mm (1/8 in) flatblade screwdriver, loosen the terminals and insert each of the data + and
data - wire set into the appropriate terminal for the circuit.
• Data wires in the set are polarity-independent.
5: Tighten each screw terminal until the wire is held snugly.
6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining dry contact closures.
7: Replace all pluggable screw connectors onto the contact input board.
Connect the Wire Harness
1: Noting connector orientation, plug one
end of the wire harness (supplied with
the option kit) into the connector on the
option card.
2: Noting connector orientation, plug the
second end of the wire harness into the
connector found on the circuit board
mounted on the inside rear of the panel.
Remove the Option Card
1: Use a small pliers to compress the plastic
tabs on the mounting pins.
2: While the tabs are compressed, gently
pull the option card away from the panel.
Programming
The Contact Input Option Card is programmable through the relay panel user interface.
1: Press the [Enter] () button on the user interface to access the Main Menu.
2: Navigate to Arch Setup > Contact Inputs.
When the Contact Input card is installed, you will have the following options within the Contact Input
menu.
•Contact: Displays the number of contacts being configured, 1–24.
•Evaluate on boot: If set to Yes, the contact state will be evaluated on boot and the action configured
for that state will be performed at boot.
•Space: Determines the space in which the selected action will happen.
•On Open: Determines the action that occurs when the contact is opened. The following options are
available:
-None: No action will be taken when the contact opens.
-Off: Off will be activated in the selected space when the contact opens.
-Preset: The selected preset will be activated in the selected space when the contact opens.
-Sequence: The sequence will be activated in the selected space when the contact opens.
-Output to Full: The selected output range will be driven to full when the contact opens.
-Output to 0%: The selected output range will be driven to 0% when the contact closes.
•On Close: Determines the action that occurs when the contact is closed. The same actions are
available as listed above.
