ioXpander-8 Module
Internal wired 8 I/O expander for PowerMaster-33 control
panel
1. INTRODUCTION
The ioXpander-8 module enhances the PowerMaster-33 control panel with 8 programmable wired
zone inputs or outputs. The behavior of each wired PGM output can be configured and each wired
zone input can be set up with a location and type.
The ioXpander-8 module is optional, and can be installed in a PowerMaster-33 EXP control panel with
version 19.2 or higher.

Notes for ioXpander-8 module wiring:
Wired zone terminals can be connected to a normally
closed contact of a detector, switch (for example a
tamper switch of any device), or a pushbutton, via a
2.2 K
resistor. The 12V terminal can be used to
supply 12V to low power detectors with up to 10mA
standby current drain as DA-5; PL-1; Next_PIR; Vi-
Motion; Vi-Pet.
IMPORTANT! The terminals for internal and
external sirens are DC outputs intended for 12v
sirens. Connecting a loudspeaker to any of these
outputs will cause a short circuit and will damage
the unit.
The Speech Box is a wired remote speaker and
microphone device for indoor use. It provides two-
way voice communication between the user and the
central station using the control panel.
Caution! Do not install or remove the ioXpander-8
module when the control panel is powered by AC
power or battery.
For wired zones, the control panel classifies the
events according to the resistance it measures as
shown in the table below.
