Versus Technology, Inc.
8 Versus Information System
A punch-down connector block is included with the Collector. The connector block plugs directly
into the 50-pin connector on the side of the Collector. Sensors connect directly to the Punch-down
Block. The 24V power supply for the Collector is included, as well as mounting supplies.
2.3.4 Ethernet Concentrator (VER-2015)
Ethernet Concentrators receive all data passed through collectors, format
the data, and send it to a computer as a data packet. Up to four collectors
can be connected to one Ethernet Concentrator. Concentrators are
connected to Collectors in a daisy-chain fashion.
2.3.5 Other Optional Hardware
Remote Station (VER-4052 without pull cord, VER-4054 with pull cord)
This small, wireless, radio frequency (RF) device can be mounted on a wall or other
non-metal surface. When the button is pressed, a signal is sent to the system,
notifying it to activate a customizable preprogrammed response. The button lights
up when it is pressed, giving a visual cue that the signal has been sent.
The Remote Station is available with or without a pull cord. The button is available
in clear, red, green or yellow. Clear is not available with light.
Badge Tester (VER-0004)
A Badge Tester tests the battery and auxiliary information from the badge. It
will indicate whether a valid IR packet is received or if the battery needs to be
replaced. If a valid IR packet is received, the tester will beep once, and the
green light will illuminate. If the battery is low and needs replacing, the tester
will beep twice, and the red light will illuminate.
Auto Assigner (VER-4440)
The Auto Assigner makes the badge assignment process fast and easy. By
placing a Versus IR or combination IR/RF badge under the unit, the VIS Badge
Wizard automatically pops up on the computer screen and fills in the badge
number field without the need to manually type in each badge number during
the assignment process. Requires the Event Monitor software.
Digital I/O Board (VER-3010)
The Digital I/O Board is used to control relays with the Versus system. It
requires a PCI slot in the computer and room for the board, which is 12
inches in length. Up to five Digital I/O Boards can be installed in one
computer, assuming there are five PCI slots available, to control up to 480
relays. Includes a ribbon cable to connect to two external relay boards.
Requires at least one external relay board (VER-3015).
