Expanders

  1. Select Configuration > Hardware > X-Bus > Expanders.

     

    For naming and identifying:

    In loop configuration, each expander is numbered consecutively from the first (expander connected to the 1A 1B on the controller) to the last (expander connected to the 2A 2B on the controller).

    Example for SPC63xx: Expanders, when numbered 1 through 63, are allocated zones (in groupings of 8) in subsequent identities of 1 to 512 (the greatest number in zone identification is 512). Therefore, any expander named or identified by a number greater than 63 has no allocated zones.

  2. Click one of the expander identifying parameters to display the Expander Configuration page.

  3. Configure the following fields:

    Description

    For appearance on device LEDs.

    Volume Limit

    Audio Expander Only: Speaker volume for the Audio Expander and satellites (WAC 11). They are all wired in parallel. Note that the speaker on WAC 11 has a potentiometer for fine-tuning the volume. Range is 0 min – 7 max or disabled.

    Auxillary Channnel

    Audio Expander Only: This option should be enabled if satellites (WAC11) are connected to this expander.

    Note: This option, if enabled, powers the satellite microphones. The satellite speakers are always enabled regardless of this setting.

    End Of Line

    Select the correct End of Line (default: DEOL 4K7). This setting should match the actual wiring of the input on the controller or expander. See Wiring the system.

    (Zone) Description

    Provide a description for allocated zone.

    (Zone) Type

    Select the zone type. See Zone attributes.

    Area

    Select the area.

    Attributes

    Assign attributes as desired. See Zone types.

    Outputs/PSU outputs (Displayed for the SPCP355.300 Smart PSU ONLY)

    Output

    The numbered output. The value in parentheses corresponds to the physical output on the PSU board.

    Description

    Provide description for output.

    Change type

    Change the type of output as necessary.

    Attributes

    Assign attributes to the output.

    Test

    Test the output.

    Output monitor

    Select which outputs are to be monitored.

    Note: The parallel resistor, diode and required load must be applied before enabling this option. The SPCP355.300 must perform a calibration before monitoring starts. See Supervised Outputs for more information.

    Primary battery only

    Tick this box if there is no secondary battery connected to the PSU

When expanders are added or removed go to Configuration > Hardware > X-BUS > Cable Map & Configuration.

Click Reconfigure to implement changes.

 

When you click Proceed Reconfiguration, the whole X-BUS is reconfigured. If an expander is offline and the reconfigure button is pressed, the expander will disappear without notifying the user.
Reconfiguring the X-BUS

  1. Select Configuration > Hardware > X-BUS > Cable Map & Configuration.

  2. Click Reconfigure.

    The X-Bus cable Map – Warning(s) page displays.

  3. Click Proceed Reconfiguration.

    The X-BUS is reconfigured.

    If an expander is offline and the reconfigure button is pressed, the expander will disappear without notifying the user.
