Example wiring diagram EXTERNAL MODUS

Product Manual

!!!! IMPORTANT !!!! In External mode it is critical to take the total output current for the module into account. Not doing so can damage the module.
MAX output for 1 output is 100mA. MAX output current for all outputs together depends on the supply voltage : 5VDC, max 500mA 12VDC, max 400mA 24VDC, max 300mA 48VDC, max 150mA Some R-LED calculatation examples : Power supply = 12VDC LED current is 100mA 12 / 0.1 = 120 Ohm Power supply = 48VDC LED Current is 50mA 48 / 0.05 = 960 Ohm

Cresnet ID

Product Manual

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number from 03 to FE. The NET ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the Simpl Windows program. Use the following methods to change NET ID of the CH-UNI8IO. Method A: (Viewport) 1. Ensure that the CH-UNI8IO.is connected to the control system. 2. Open the Crestron viewport and connect to the control system (RS-232 or IP) 3. From the viewport menu, select Functions -> Set network ID. The software checks the network and then opens the Set Network ID window. 4. In the Set Network ID window, select the CNMW-LT9 from the current network devices text window. 5. Select the new NET ID for the CH-UNI8IO. From the choose the new network ID for the selected device (HEX): text box. 6. Click the Set ID to initiate the change. This will display the ID command has been set window. 7. In the Command complete window, click OK. 8. In the current network devices text window, verify the net NET ID code. 9. In the Set network ID window, click close.
