UniBus Analogue Input Expander

Overview

The UniBus 4 Way Analogue Input Expander allows for the monitoring and reporting of analogue values (voltage, current, or serial temperature) within an Integriti system.

Technical Details

  • Inputs: 4 Universal Analogue Zone Inputs.
  • Operating Modes:
    1. Serial Mode: For use with the Inner Range Serial Temperature Sensor (Part 994089).
    2. Voltage Monitor: 0 to 10V DC.
    3. Current Loop: 4 to 20mA DC.
  • Host Compatibility:
    • Integriti ISC (Connect up to 4).
    • 8 Zone LAN Expander (Connect up to 6).
  • Firmware Requirements: Integriti Controller firmware V17 or later; 8-Zone LAN Expander firmware V1.2 or later.

Physical Specifications

  • PCB Dimensions: 105mm (L) × 94mm (W) — 94mm with snap-off strip removed. Height: 15mm (28mm with UniBus cable connected).
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
  • Humidity: 15% to 90% Relative humidity (non-condensing).

Configuration / Programming

  • Addressing (SW1): DIP switch SW1 sets the starting zone address. Uses switches 1, 2, and 3: | Zones | DIP 1 | DIP 2 | DIP 3 | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 to 4 | OFF | OFF | OFF | Not valid for ISC | | 5 to 8 | ON | OFF | OFF | Not valid for ISC | | 9 to 12 | OFF | ON | OFF | Not valid for ISC | | 13 to 16 | ON | ON | OFF | Not valid for ISC | | 17 to 20 | OFF | OFF | ON | | | 21 to 24 | ON | OFF | ON | | | 25 to 28 | OFF | ON | ON | | | 29 to 32 | ON | ON | ON | |
  • ISC Note: Analogue Expander Zones on a Security Controller must start at Zone 17, 21, 25, or 29.
  • 8-32 Zone Expander Note: Zones must start at 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, or 29.
  • Input Mode (SW2): DIP switch SW2 selects the mode per input. OFF = Voltage/Serial Mode. ON = Current Mode.
  • Wiring Connections:
    • T1: Serial Temperature Sensor inputs and +5V supply.
    • T2 - T5: Analogue Zone Inputs and +24V Current Loop supply.
  • Calibrations: Default calibrations provided in Integriti for testing include “Unibus Alog 0-10 Volts”, “Unibus Alog 4-20mA as mA”, and “Unibus Alog 994089 Temp Sensor”.
  • Thresholds: Trigger points, tamper levels, and hysteresis are individually configurable per input.
  • Firmware: Over-the-wire upgradable.

Specifications

  • Power Supply Input: 11V to 14V DC via host module.
  • Current Consumption: 50mA idle, up to 230mA max (with all current loops supplying 20mA).
  • Supply Outputs: 24V DC for current loops (individually PTC protected), +5V DC (1W+) for serial sensors.
  • Input Range: 0–10V DC (Voltage mode), 4–20mA DC (Current Loop mode), -55°C to +125°C (Serial Temp Sensor).

Serial Temperature Sensor (P/N 995089)

  • Range: -55°C to +125°C.
  • Resolution: 0.5°C steps.
  • Accuracy: ±0.5°C (0–70°C), ±1.0°C (70–85°C), ±2.0°C (85–125°C).
  • Supply: +5V DC from UniBus Analogue Expander.
  • Max Cable Distance: 25 metres (min. 3-core cable).

Troubleshooting

LED Diagnostics

  • L1 (FAULT): OFF = OK. ON during normal operation = Fault detected. ON during bootup/firmware download = OK.
  • L2 (STATUS): Slow Flash = OK (module powered and firmware running).
  • L3 (UNIBUS STATUS): OFF = OK. Flashing = Getting Address. ON = Address clash or too high.
  • L6–L9 (CURRENT LOOP OC): OFF = OK. ON = Overcurrent condition on associated +CL1 to +CL4 current loop supply output.
  • L14 (SERIAL SENSOR OC): OFF = OK. ON = Overcurrent condition on Serial Temperature Sensor supply output (1W+).
