KT-MOD-REL8

KT-400 Expansion Module 8-Relay with SPI Cable Install Sheet

1. Introduction

The KT-MOD-REL8 is an 8-relay outputs expansion module used

as general relays or elevator control outputs.

The module supports daisy chaining which can add up to 32 KT-

MOD-REL8 modules for a total of 256 external relays per KT-400

controller. You can mix relays and outputs in the same SPI group,

up to 256 outputs.

Note 1: The KT-400 SPI port maximum current draw, when the

12V AUX terminals are not used, is 500 mA.

Note 2: External power supply (12 VDC, 2 Amps) is required

when the total current draw exceeds 500mA on the SPI Port.

Note 3: There are already 4 relays available on the KT-400.

Make sure to check the relays number assignments to prevent

redundancy unless it has been planned on purpose.

2. Specifications

•Maximum Current Draw: up to 330 mA per module

•Each relay supports the 2 conditions, NO (Normally Open)

and NC (Normally Closed), the C (Common) terminal is +12

VDC

•Each relay has its own LED to indicate status, ON for active

•Eight (8) programmable relay contacts rated 30 VDC, 3 A

•Can be used for elevator control

•Can be mixed with output module KT-MOD-OUT16 in the

same group

3. Installing the KT-MOD-REL8 Module

3.1. Unpacking

The KT-MOD-REL8 package includes the following parts:

•One (1) module - 14 cm x 8 cm (5.7 in x 3.25 in)

•One (1) SPI cable with 1 SPI connector 41 cm (16 in)

•Four (4) plastic standoffs

•Two (2) installation sheets, English and French

3.2. Mounting

The KT-MOD-REL8 can be installed inside a compatible cabinet

(KT-MOD-CAB or KT-400) or mounted in a dry and secure

location at less than 1 m (3 ft) from the KT-400.

Perform the following steps to mount the unit:

1. Press the four (4) plastic standoffs through the mounting

holes of the cabinet,

2. Secure the cabinet to the wall in the desired location. Use

appropriate wall anchors when securing the cabinet to

drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or other surfaces,

3. Press the module into the plastic standoffs to secure the

module to the cabinet.

3.3. Installation and Wiring

Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that all power (AC

transformer and battery) is disconnected from the KT-400.

Perform the following steps to complete wiring:

1. Connect the 6-pin SPI connector to:

•the KT-400 SPI port, or

•the SPI OUT of the previous output module (KT-MOD-

REL8 and KT-MOD-OUT16 only), or

•the SPI EXP of the 1st input module KT-MOD-INP16

connected to the KT-400 SPI port.

2. Connect the six SPI wires (blue (BLU), white (WHT), green

(GRN), yellow (YEL), black (BLK) and red (RED)) to the SPI

IN (TB1) terminals.

3. Connect the 6-pin SPI connector from the SPI OUT to the

next output module (KT-MOD-REL8 and KT-MOD-OUT16

only).

4. Complete all output wiring.

3.4. Check the power jumper JP1 position. Put it on EXT if you

need external power or INT if no external power is required.

3.5. Applying Power

After all wiring is completed, connect the 16 VAC to the KT-400.

Connect the battery leads to the battery, and then apply power to

the AC transformer.

Note: Do not connect power until all wiring is complete.
