Wireless Expander
1 Description
iO-8-LORA wireless expanders with RF-LORA transceiver increase the number of inputs and outputs of the "FLEXi" SP3 security
panel using two-way RF communication.
The iO-8-LORA wireless expander has 8 I/O terminals, each of which can be set as an input (IN) or as an output (OUT).
Features
Communication:
 Line-of-sight wireless range up to 1000 m.
 Up to 8 iO-8-LORA wireless expanders can be connected to the
"FLEXi" SP3 control panel.
Inputs and outputs:
 8 I/O terminals, each one can be set as an input (IN) or output
(OUT). Input (IN) types: ATZ, EOL, NC, NO. Different value of
resistors can be used in EOL and ATZ type circuits.
Connection:
 The iO-8-LORA wireless expander is connected to the "FLEXi" SP3 control panel via the RF-LORA transceiver.

2.2 Schematics for connecting inputs
There are 8 terminals IO1–IO8 (inputs) on the iO-8-LORA expander board for connecting sensor circuits. Any terminal can be
set as an input and assigned zone attributes: circuit type (NO, NC, EOL, EOL_T, 3EOL, ATZ, ATZ_T); sensitivity to temporary
circuit events; zone function (Delay, Instant, Instant Stay, Interior, Interior Stay, Fire, Keyswitch, 24_hour, Silent, Silent 24h).
2.3 Schematic for connecting a relay
Using the relay terminals, it is possible to remotely control (turn on/off)
various electrical devices. The iO-8-LORA wireless expander universal
I/O terminal must be configured as an output (OUT) and must have the
definition "Remote control" assigned.
