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.
