General Input Unit
The 4 channel general input units are DIN rail mounted units designed to measure digital, voltage, current loop and
thermistor inputs and generate messages to the C-Bus network.
The unit is designed to broadcast the actual measured value to the C-Bus network, which in turn may be displayed on
other C-Bus devices such as the touch screen, C-Gate or C-Lution. In addition, the unit may trigger a group address as
a function of the input level, up to eight trigger points may be assigned to a single input channel.
The general input unit is designed to interface to third party products, such as light level sensors, temperature sensors,
power, frequency, moisture, rate sensors and others. In this way, the general input may be used to extend the functionality of
the C-Bus and its ability to integrate with other systems such as HVAC and power monitoring systems. The general input
also generates 24VDC to power the external sensors.
The general input units are available as passive models only, hence do not source current to the C-Bus network.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Provides 4 channels of input, compatible with a range
of third party sensor products
• Capable of threshold switching or broadcasting value onto
the network
• Programmable via the C-Bus Toolkit Software
• Programmed variables are stored in non-volatile memory
and are retained in case of loss of mains or C-Bus power
• Designed to t standard 35mm top hat DIN rail
• Designed to t into standard electrical switchboards
• CE (European Community) compliant
