Overview
The purpose of this manual is to help users
develop safe and efficient procedures for
the installation, operation and maintenance
of the i-3 V2 I/O Modbus Controller.
The i-3 V2 I/O Controller is used to control
the operation of P1 Series with i-3 Control
Technology V2 Panel. The controller directs
SIPODs (Remotely Operated Contactors)
to switch ON/OFF. It also monitors the
contact status up to 42 branch circuits.
The i-3 V2 I/O Controller enables the P1
lighting panel to operate as a slave panel
to accept dry contact or wet digital inputs
and analog inputs or commands through
communications network by a Building
Automation System. It provides up to 20
two-wire dry or wet contact inputs and
two analog inputs which can be used to
control up to 42 outputs.
