AIO-168 Analog Input Alarm Module

The new AIO-168 is a combination supervised alarm/relay module that offers surface mount technology and flash memory at a low cost. Flash memory allows firmwareupgrades via E-mail and a notebook computer. New technology microchips enabled Apollo design engineers to package this unit on a module much more compact than previous designs. This unit also offers reduced power consumption and can be used with the new compact lowcost AUS-12 (120v) and AUS-12 I (240v) uninterruptible power units now available from APOLLO. The module is available as alarm only (AIO-16), relay only (AIO-8) and alarm/relay (AIO-168). The AIO-168 alarm and relay processor module provides 16 zones which meet UL Grade A analog line supervision requirements and 8 form C dry contact relay outputs. All inputs are monitored for line fault conditions and the type of fault (open, short, ground, or circuit fault) is reported to the host. The AIO-168 also monitors and reports cabinet tamper and power status. Inputs may be switched to grade B - unsupervised, if desired. The AIO-168 has field changeable RS-485 or RS-232plug-in modules for communication with the host, which can be an AP-550 master reader or an AAN-100/32 controller. An interrogation/response protocol is provided between the AIO-168 alarm panel and the host processor. Unit address and baud rate are configured via an on-board DIP switch.Alarm contact status is scanned up to 240 times per second for each zone. The data is filtered for noise rejection to prevent false alarms. The AIO-168 has two diagnostic LEDs, - one for host communication and one for AIO-168 heart beat. AUXILIARY OUTPUT LINKAGE Each relay output can be controlled by a combination of the following 21 conditions: Alarm inputs 1-16 Power fault Cabinet tamper Any zone fault Host comm loss Time zone control Any of the above conditions can initiate one or more relay outputs. A different time zone can be specified for each auxiliary relay output. OFF-LINE ALARM EVENT STORAGE When the AIO-168 is on-line with the host, status changes (alarm inputs) are sent immediately to the host on thenext interrogation/response sequence. When the AIO-168 is off line, up to 100 alarms are stored in a FIFO log alarm event buffer. At least one alarm event for each zone that was in alarm since the AIO-168 went off-line is saved.
