Colorado vNet - Output Module

Data Sheet

Imagine an Olympic sprinter stationed in every room of your house, crouched in their chocks ready to explode into action at your merest whim.

That’s our Output Module. It closes the switch that powers the motor that opens the window that lets you tell the kids it’s dinnertime. It turns the fountain from discreet water feature to Bellagio-style centerpiece and it shuts off the fireplace to set just the right mood.

Infinitely flexible, limited only by your imagination, utterly unobtrusive and faster than the thoughts that govern it… yes, in case you couldn’t tell, we’re pretty proud of this baby.

	Versatile design provides for 8 multi-purpose relay controlled Class 2 output channels (i.e. Fireplaces, Security Systems, Furnaces, HVAC Systems...) The Output Module can generate up to 8 independent contact closures suitable for any Class 2 wiring. The contact closures can be of either type, normally open or normally closed, depending on the requirements of the peripheral device.

	Constantly monitors its own operating state to proactively alert the system and Integrator of any potential problem The Output Module monitors itself and should something be amiss, an alert is sent to the Bridge Module to be relayed to Colorado vNet. If it is something that requires attention, a service call is generated to the system integrator to ensure that the anomaly is dealt with as soon as possible.

	Each output channel can supply an automatically reset-able, fused +12 VDC supply to power attached devices (i.e. Fireplaces, Security Systems, Furnaces, HVAC Systems...) Some peripheral devices need power to determine what to do with the contact closure. The Output Module can supply up to 50mA of 12VDC to the peripheral device on each channel. This simplifies the wiring required for the peripheral devices.

	Each channel is monitored by a LED to display the relay closure status Since the peripheral devices can be some distance away, an LED is provided on each channel to indicate the status of the output signals.
