Features:

• RS-485 2-Wire Interface
• Surge resistant
• Wiegand-based reader formats/control panel-compatible
• Secure operation
• Relay interface provides door strike or gate activation functions
• Voltage transient protection on all power and signal input/output lines provides protection from power surges and other voltage transient events
• No in-field optical adjustments required
• LED fault-specific status indicator for rapidly determining the operating status of the extender and the link
• IEEE 802.3 compliant
• Small size surface / shelf mount housing — ideal for use in those installations where space is at a premium
• Plug-and-play design ensures ease of operation

Applications:

• Drop-and-repeat/daisy-chain copper media extension of up to 8 gates, doors, and readers, when used with the ComNet FDW1000 Optical Wiegand Data Extender

When used with the FDW1000 series of fiber optic Wiegand extender modules, the ComNet EXP100 Expansion Module enables additional Wiegand-based devices to be added to the network. The 2-wire RS-485 data interface between the expansion modules provides a secure connection, with excellent immunity to electrical noise and interference. Up to 8 EXP100s can be used in a drop-and-repeat/daisy-chain topology, and each EXP100 may be set to a unique address (1 through 15) via DIP-switch selection. An auxiliary I/O (input/output) interface is available for ascertaining door, gate, and control panel status and signaling, and a relay interface provides the door strike or gate activation functions. The EXP100 is supplied as a remote unit for door or gate locations or a central unit for control panel installation. Packaged in a rugged aluminum housing, the EXP100 is designed for long-term, reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
