RANEXPAD Master Port Expander
The
RANEXPAD
is a Master Port Expander that provides additional ports beyond those
available on a
RANEXP
(12+). You must have at least one
RANEXP
before you can add
an
RANEXPAD
. Each
RANEXPAD
adds an additional set of 12 runs of cable (with a
maximum of 60,000 pF). It requires 12
VDC
at 200 m
A
and is mounted in a single rack
space (1.75"). The
RANEXPAD
must be mounted in the same head-end as the
RANEXP
.

-based control system, Rauland-Borg will continue to
provide support and address any bugs that may be uncovered.
