Weight:	4.55 lbs (2.06 kg)
Enclosure:	Metal with black matte finish
Certifications:	FCC Part 15 Class B, CE, and IEC 60950
Front Panel LEDs:
• LINK/ACT:	Green LED blinks when the Ethernet cables are connected and
	terminated correctly. Also blinks when receiving Ethernet data
	packets.
• Status:	Green LED blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and communi-
	cating properly.
• Output:	Red LED blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On and
	Off, sends data strings, etc.
• Input:	Yellow LED blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes,
	strings, commands, channel levels, etc.
• RS-232/422/485:	7 sets of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate that DB9 Ports 1 - 7 are trans-
	mitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data.
• Relay:	• Eight-channel single-pole single-throw relay ports
	• Each relay is independently controlled.
	• Supports up to 8 independent external relay devices
	• Channel range = 1-8
	• Each relay can switch up to 24 VDC or 28 VAC @ 1 A
	Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) connectors provide relay
	termination
• IR/Serial:	8 red LEDs light to indicate the IR/Serial channels 1 - 8 are
	transmitting control data on Ports 9 - 16. LED indictor for each IR port
	remains lit for the length of time that IR/Serial data is being generated.
• I/O:	8 yellow LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1 - 8 are active. The LED for
	each I/O port reflects the state of that particular port.
Rear Panel Components:
• RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 - 7):	7 RS-232/422/485 control ports using DB9 (male) connectors with XON/
	XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send), and
	300-115,200 baud.
• ICSNet:	2 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface (provided by optional
	ICSNet daughter card).
• ICSHub Out:	RJ-45 connector provides data to a Hub connected to the Controller (pro-
	vided by optional ICSNet daughter card).
• Relay (Port 8):	8-channel single-pole single throw relay ports with each relay being indepen-
	dently controlled and supporting up to 8 independent
	external relay devices.
• Digital I/O (Port 17):	8-channel binary I/O port for contact closure with each input being capable of
	voltage sensing. Input format is software selectable with interactive power
	sensing for IR ports.
