seconds. The duration of the flashing within these 2 seconds depends on the bus load. The higher the bus load is the longer the duration of the flashing within these two seconds will be.

CONTROL PORT

The CONTROL PORT contains four freely programmable control inputs, three freely programmable control outputs, one ready/fault output as well as reference connections for ground, +5 V and +10 V.

The control inputs IN1 - IN4 are DC inputs, which internally are connected to ground via pull-down resistors. From external sources voltages between 0 V and +10 V are

possible. Either switch-mode functions or variable functions can be programmed for the control input via the IRIS-Net PC software. Examples of use are: power on/standby switching, preset switching or parameter

control.

The control outputs OUT2 - OUT4 are relay contacts, which are open circuits in off-state (off). When the output is in on-state (on) the outputs are connected to ground. The outputs are able to signal internal states and they can directly operate LEDs, indicator lights or relays. The +5 V reference voltage is able to energize the externally connected elements with up to 200 mA. Operating states (critical temperature, overstepping or falling below of defined limit values, faults, etc.) can be relayed to central operation stations or other systems (fire alarm systems, life safety systems) even without use of a PC via the control outputs. You will find detailed information regarding configuration of the control ports in the IRIS-Net documentation.

Mains Connector and Power Switch

Please use the enclosed power cable in order to connect NetMax N8000 to the mains power supply. The N8000 is compatible with a supply voltage between 100 V AC and 240 V AC. Therefore, a supply voltage switch is not necessary. Internally, there is a mains fuse which is normally only blown in case of a fault. The fuse should only be replaced with an equivalent fuse with identical values for current, voltage and actuating characteristics by an authorized service center.

The N8000 can be switched on and off with the power switch on the rear of the device. The ON- LED on the front panel is immediately illuminated after switch-on. The N8000 boots and initializes all parameters with those values that had been previously active. The initialization takes some seconds. As soon as N8000 is ready for operation, the READY-LED is also illuminated.
