XBee Digital I/O Adapter
30
Overview
The XBee Digital I/O Adapter provides short range wireless connectivity to
any digital device, as well as an interface to logic-level inputs and sinking
driver output. Solutions are available for both mesh (including ZigBee) and
point-to-multipoint networks. Unlike an embedded wireless module, which
requires design integration and development time, these off-the-shelf
adapters provides instant wireless connectivity to existing digital devices.
All XBee adapters can be used with Digi's ConnectPort X gateways for
data aggregation and IP connectivity.
Power options
Depending on adapter model, there are several powering options.
Alkaline battery model
This product can be powered by a 9-30VDC external power supply (see
"Power requirements" on page 68) or by batteries. Use 3x1.5V “N” alkaline
battery cells. To install batteries, insert a screwdriver in the slots in the side
of the adapter case and twist to snap off the cover. Insert the batteries
following the polarity diagram on the board.
Lithium battery model
This model can be powered by a 3-6VDC external power supply or by 2/3
AA 3.6V lithium batteries and a 1/2 AA boost capacitor. Replacement
batteries available for purchase; contact Digi at 952-912-3444 or
877-912-3444.
