1 Introduction
The Protege DIN Rail 8 Output Expander extends the number of outputs on the system by 8, featuring high
current FORM C relays for controlled automation of building systems including lighting and HVAC.
Flexible module network architecture allows large numbers of modules to be connected to the RS-485 module
network. Up to 250 modules can be connected to the Protege system in any combination to the network, over
a distance of up to 900M (3000ft). Further span can be achieved with the use of a network repeater module.
Locking a network prevents the removal, substitution or addition of modules to the module network effectively
preventing any tampering with the system.
The current features of the Output Expander include:
 Secure encrypted RS-485 module communications
 8 outputs
 Industry standard DIN Rail mounting
 Online and remote upgradable firmware

3 Grounding Requirements
An effectively grounded product is one that is intentionally connected to earth ground through a ground
connection or connections of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient current-carrying capacity to
prevent the build up of voltages which may result in undue hazard to connected equipment or to persons.
Grounding of the Protege System is done for three basic reasons:
1. Safety,
2. Component protection, and
3. Noise reduction

3.1 Safety Grounding
The object of safety grounding is to ensure that all metalwork is at the same ground (or Earth) potential.
Impedance between the Protege System and the building scheme ground must conform to the requirements of
national and local industrial safety regulations or electrical codes. These will vary based on country, type of
distribution system, and other factors. The integrity of all ground connections should be checked periodically.
General safety dictates that all metal parts are connected to earth with separate copper wire or wires of the
appropriate gauge.

3.2 Earth Ground Connection
The Protege DIN Rail Enclosure and the Protege DIN Rail Modules must be grounded to a single point earth
ground. For best results, a cold water pipe should be used with a pipe wiring clamp. If a cold water pipe is not
available, connect to a suitable ground connection in the installation. A minimum 14AWG solid copper wire (or
thicker in accordance to local authorities) shall be used from the Protege DIN Rail System's earth connection
points to the clamp on the cold water pipe. If other earth clamps are present at the same connection point,
connect the clamp below the existing units.
The Protege DIN Rail Enclosure includes an earth ground single point link connection via the metallic enclosure.
This single point link is the Protege DIN Rail System's earth ground. All Protege DIN Rail Modules that have
earth ground connections and that are installed in the same Protege DIN Rail Enclosure shall be connected to
this single point. A single point earth ground connection avoids the creation of ground loops in the system and
provides a single reference point to earth ground.

4 Mounting
The Output Expander is designed to mount on standard DIN Rail either in dedicated DIN cabinets or generic
DIN Rail mounting strip.
When installing the Output Expander ensure that there is adequate clearance around all sides of the device and
that air flow to the vents of the unit is not restricted. It is recommended to install the Output Expander in a
location that will facilitate easy access for wiring. It is also recommended that the Output Expander is installed in
electrical rooms, communication equipment rooms, closets or in an accessible area of the ceiling.
1. Hook the lower tabs under the bottom edge of the DIN Rail.
2. Push the Output Expander against the DIN Rail mount until the upper tab clips over the upper rail.

4.1 Removal
The Output Expander can be removed from the DIN Rail mount using the following steps:
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the tab at the top of the Output Expander.
2. Lever the tab up and rotate the unit off the DIN Rail mount.

8 LED Indicators
The Output Expander includes comprehensive front panel diagnostic indicators that can aid the installer in
diagnosing faults and conditions. In some cases an indicator may have multiple meanings depending on the
status indicator display at the time.

8.1 Status Indicator
The Status indicator displays the module status.
State Description
Fast Flash (green) Module attempting registration with controller
Slow Flash (green) Module successfully registered with controller
Flashing (red) Module communications activity
When the fault and status indicators are flashing alternately, the module is in the identification mode, enabling
the installer to easily identify the module in question. Upon either a module update or the identification time
period set expiring, the module will return to normal operation.

8.2 Fault Indicator
The Fault indicator is lit any time the module is operating in a non-standard mode.
State Description
Flashing (red) Module is in boot mode awaiting firmware update
On (red)
Module is in error state and will flash an error code with the
status indicator. Refer to the Error Code Display section to
determine the error.
When the fault indicator is on, the status indicator will show an error code. Refer to the Error Code Display
section for more information.

8.3 Power Indicator
The Power indicator is lit whenever the correct module input voltage is applied across the N+ and N- terminals.
State Description
Constantly on (green) Correct module input voltage applied
Constantly off Incorrect module input voltage applied


9 Error Code Indication
When the module attempts to register or communicate with the system controller a registration error can be
generated indicating that it was not successful.

9.1 Error Code Display
The following table is only valid if the FAULT indicator is CONSTANTLY ON and the STATUS indicator is
FLASHING RED.
If the fault indicator is FLASHING the module requires a firmware update or is currently in firmware update
mode.
The status indicator will FLASH RED with the error code number. The error code number is shown with a
250ms ON and OFF period (duty cycle) with a delay of 1.5 seconds between each display cycle.
Flash Error Description
1Unknown Error Code
The error code returned by the system controller could not be understood by the module.
2
Firmware Version
The firmware version on the module is not compatible with the system controller. To clear
this error, update the module using the module update application.
3
Address Too High
The module address is above the maximum number available on the system controller. To
clear this error change the address to one within the range set on the system controller,
restart the module by disconnecting the power.
4
Address In Use
The Address is already in use by another module. To clear this error set the address to one
that is not currently occupied. Use the view network status command to list the attached
devices, or the network update command to refresh the registered device list.
5
Controller Secured Registration Not Allowed
Controller is not accepting any module registrations. To allow module registrations use the
network secure command to change the secure setting to not secured.
6
Serial Number Fault
The serial number in the device is not valid. Return the unit to the distributor for
replacement.
7
Locked Device
The module or system controller is a locked device and cannot communicate on the
network. Return the unit to the distributor for replacement.

* The Total Combined Current refers to the current that will be drawn from the external power supply to supply
the Output Expander and any devices connected to the Expander's outputs. The Auxiliary outputs are directly
connected via electronic fuses to the N+ N- input terminals, and the maximum current is governed by the trip
level of these fuses.
It is important that the unit is installed in a dry cool location that is not affected by humidity. Do not locate the
unit in air conditioning or a boiler room that can exceed the temperature or humidity specifications.
Integrated Control Technology continually strives to increase the performance of its products. As a result these
specifications may change without notice. We recommend consulting our website (http://www.ict.co) for the
