Wire output expander

SAFE IO Relay Board

By purchasing SAFE you have gained access to a modern alarm system with a whole range of smart functions, based on wireless technology. Even so, when carrying out some installations you may find yourself in a situation where it is necessary not only to integrate but also to control wired elements – whether SAFE branded or from third-party manufacturers. The IO Relay Board is ideal for installations where many peripheral devices need to be controlled. This expander turns your purely wireless control panel, such as the Hub 2 Plus LTE, into a hybrid one. With it you can easily expand the system with additional wired outputs, giving you maximum freedom when installing security without technical compromises or limitations.

Description of the Device

Fully utilizing the potential of the SAFE system

The SAFE IO Relay Board is a hybrid expansion module that communicates with the central unit via an RS-485 port. Its primary function is to expand the system with an additional 8 alarm control outputs. If it is necessary to increase capacity, additional IO Relay Boards can be interconnected or combined with IO Expander Boards (max. 16 modules). This allows the SAFE system to be expanded with additional wired peripherals while fully utilizing the potential of the SAFE central unit. The security system thus gains much greater modularity, which will make it possible to automate and protect the facility in a much more comprehensive and effective manner.

Alarm outputs

The IO Relay Board features eight programmable relay outputs (NO/NC). A typical use case may be automation (e.g. switching multiple lighting circuits, controlling electric locks, blinds, or multi-level alarm indication using sirens and other signalling elements). Thanks to the wide range of settings in the ProSAFE app, the module can be integrated into security projects requiring immediate shut-off of the water or gas supply, both in crisis situations and in the event of a leak, control of ventilation, air handling, or management of outdoor lighting.

Modernization of existing systems

The IO Relay Board makes it possible to modernise existing third-party intruder alarm system installations without having to replace functional equipment. Connect existing security peripherals to the SAFE platform and thereby integrate the devices into a modern platform that gives you management via the free ProSAFE app, automation scenarios and detailed notifications directly on your smartphone – all without complications and complex programming.

Real-time notifications

Third-party devices connected via the IO Relay Board provide both users and central monitoring station operators with the same functions as native SAFE products. From several types of available alarm events — for example: intrusion, panic alarm/SOS, fire, medical alarm, gas leak, water leak — you can preset the one that fully matches your needs, while alarm indication with the option of linking an automation scenario can be freely implemented according to your needs and the type of incident.

Automation Scenarios

Alarm messages and events received from integrated devices can trigger automation scenarios (locking doors, switching on lights, disconnecting potential ignition sources …), which enable security elements to be linked with smart devices (e.g. Power Relay, Dry Relay, Socket, etc.) to automate the given premises. Based on defined conditions, the system independently performs preconfigured actions, thereby increasing safety and comfort.
