Introduction

NetLinx Integrated Master Controllers can be programmed to control RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR/ Serial, and Input/Output devices through the use of both the NetLinx programming language and the NetLinx Studio application (version 2.2 or higher). Another key feature of this products is the ability to easily access the configuration switches without having to remove a

cover plate.

The NI series of controllers use a combination lithium battery and clock crystal package called a Timekeeper. Only one Timekeeper unit is installed within a given NI controller. The battery can be expected to have up to 3 years of usable life under very adverse conditions. Actual life is appreciably longer under normal operating conditions. This calculation is based on storing the unit without power in 50° C (120° F) temperature until battery levels are no longer acceptable. The part number for a replacement battery is 57-0032.

NI-2000 Specifications

The front panel LEDs (FIG. 1) are grouped by control type and are numbered according to their corresponding port (connector) numbers on the rear of the unit. The back of the unit contains three RS-232/422/485, one Relay, one IR/Serial and one I/O connectors. In addition, this unit provides an ID pushbutton, AXlink LED, and other related connectors. FIG. 2 shows the front and rear of the NI-2000.
