ERP-FT Option Cards Talking to Same or Different Circuits
When using 2 Option cards in an Echo Relay Feedthrough Panel or a Sensor IQ Panel the cards plug in to one of 2 headers labelled “Option 1” and “Option 2”. If using the Option 2 header, the Primary/Secondary switch must be placed in the correct orientation.
If the switch is set to Primary (OFF on Sensor IQ), the option card in the Option 2 header will be used for outputs 1-24.
If the switch is set to Secondary (ON on Sensor IQ), the option card in the Option 2 header will be used for Outputs 25-48
The switch only affects the numbering for the Option 2 header. The Option 1 header will always be used for Outputs 1-24. In this way you could set the switch to Primary and have 2 option cards for circuits 1-24, or set the switch to Secondary and have one option card for 1-24 and one for 25-48.
