Onboard Reader Expander
If you look at the Technician status page, you will note that we have inputs 1-8 for the Controller and for Reader
Expander 1.
The Controller has been configured to register as Reader Expander 1, so what happens to the inputs assigned
to Reader Expander 1?
If you now open Inputs 1 and 3 on the Controller, you will see that both the Controller and Reader Expander
inputs change state.
This means that as far as programming goes, you can configure either set of inputs, or even both
When programming both sets of inputs:
 Physical characteristics obey Controller input configuration
 Response speed will follow Controller input settings
 EOL resistance will follow Controller input settings
 Input inverted state will follow Controller input settings
 Non-physical characteristics are processed for both sets of inputs
 Events will be logged for both sets of inputs (if configured)
 Alarms in areas will be processed for both sets of inputs
