LED Status Indicator
The Proximity BUS Reader contains a tri-colored (Red, Green and
Orange) software configurable LED array that can be used to specify
the status of the device.
Refer to the Eiris Software (V4.7.1 or higher) or the ELC Programmer
Software (V2.1 or higher) Configuration Guides for setup details.
By default, the Red LED is used to indicate the following device
trouble conditions:
o The reader is unregistered (flashes once/sec.)
o The reader has lost RS-485 communication (flashes once/sec.)
RS-485 Interface
The Proximity BUS Reader has one 2m/6.5ft, 6-wire AWG-26
power/data cable with a male RJ-11 connector (6P6C) for connecting
to the RS-485 Junction Box.
I/O Interface
The Proximity BUS Reader also has a 2m/6.5ft, 4-wire AWG-22
cable with ends for connecting two inputs and one digital output.

IMPORTANT: BUS Beacons MUST BE powered-down while wiring the unit’s
I/Os and when connecting to the RS-485 BUS. This will prevent accidental
shorts/spikes to cause damage to the devices.
General Purpose Inputs
The Proximity BUS Reader has two general purpose analog
(N.O.) dry contact inputs for monitoring alert sensors or emergency
call buttons designated IN1 and IN2.
EOL supervision may be added to either of these inputs to detect:
Open, Close, Line Cut and Line Short conditions using an End-of-
Line Terminator (P/N: 5-IOX00001).
Note: Elpas End-of-Line Terminators have not been evaluated for use in UL Applications.
Recommended Cable: 22 AWG, unshielded/twisted pair.
Digital Output
The Proximity BUS Reader has one dry contact open-collector
digital output (up to 100mA, 28VDC) for actuating an alert
response device.
Note: The output is resistive loading only, there is no power factor.
Recommended Cable: 22 AWG, unshielded/twisted pair.
