3.3.8.4. Settings / Peripherals - Digital Inputs  
 
Up to 16 x Digital Input Modules, Push Buttons or Temperature and Proximity sensors can be attached to 
the ePowerSwitch 8XM to monitor environmental conditions.  
 
You can connect them the RJ45 connector on the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind an xBus peripheral 
already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Daisy Chain Connection). 
 
An I/O Extension Module is also available to connect 8 dry contact inputs and 4 relay outputs to 
the ePowerSwitch 8XM (ref. I/O EXT MOD). 
 
 
3.3.8.4.1. Digital Input Modules 
 
 
 
Up to 16 Digital Input Modules with 16 inputs for dry contacts (door contacts, smoke and water 
detectors…) can be attached to the ePowerSwitch 8XM to monitor environmental conditions.  
 
To connect a Digital Input Module to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, use following procedure:
 
 
1.  Set the dip switches on the bottom of the case so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with 
another Digital Input Module already installed (see users guide of the Digital Input Module). 
 
    - Do NOT connect the xBus cable and the Power adapter(s) before setting its DIP switches 
    - Do NOT use the same address for two different Digital Input Modules 
 
2.  Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the Digital Input Module to the RJ45 xBus connector on 
the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind another xBus peripheral already connected to the 
ePowerSwitch*8XM. 
 
3.  Connect the power adapter(s) to your Digital Input Module. 
 
 
To configure the Digital Input Module, use following Log in procedure:
 
 
1.  Open you browser and log in to the Administrators Configuration Page, 
(ex. http://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
). 
 
2.  Enter the administrator name and password (default for both = admin). The home page appears. 
 
3.  Click on the Settings and then on the Peripherals Tab. 
 
If the Digital Input Module is properly connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM it will be automatically 
recognized and displayed on this page after a delay of up to 60 seconds. In this case, the colour of the 
corresponding Edit and Info symbol is red. 
 
The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the 
peripheral TAB again (or push [F5] or press  on your keyboard if you use Internet 
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).

36 3.3.8.4.2. Temperature and proximity sensors 
 
 
 
Up to 16 temperature and proximity sensors can be attached to the ePowerSwitch*8XM to monitor 
temperature change and detect presence of a target 
 
The IR proximity sensor acts as a digital input like the Digital Input Module or the Push Button.  
 
You can connect a sensor to the RJ45 connector on the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind an xBus peripheral 
already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Daisy Chain Connection). 
 
To connect a sensor to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, use following procedure:
 
 
1.  Set the dip switches of the sensor so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with another 
sensor already installed (see users guide of the corresponding sensor). 
 
    - Do NOT connect the xBus cable before setting its DIP switches. 
    - Do NOT use the same address for two different sensors. 
 
2.  Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the sensor to the RJ45 xBus connector on the 
ePowerSwitch*8XM or behind another xBus peripheral already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM. 
 
 
To configure the sensor, use following Log in procedure:
 
 
1.  Open you browser and log in to the Administrators Configuration Page, 
(ex. http://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
). 
 
2.  Enter the administrator name and password (default for both = admin). The home page appears. 
 
3.  Click on the Settings and then on the Peripherals Tab. 
 
If the sensor is properly connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM it will be automatically recognized and 
displayed on this page after a delay of up to 60 seconds. In this case, the colour of the corresponding Edit 
and Info symbol is red. 
The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the 
peripheral TAB again (or push [F5] or press  on your keyboard if you use Internet 
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox). 
 
Problem / Troubleshooting 
y If you choose any setting that is already in use by another sensor connected to the ePowerSwitch 
8XM, a conflict occurs and the corresponding Edit and Info symbol of the previous connected sensor 
will be changed to black. In that case, disconnect your last connected sensor, change the DIP switch 
settings to solve the address conflict and reconnect the sensor again. If the conflict is solved, all 
connected sensors will now appear on the Peripherals page and their Edit and Info Symbol will be red. 
y The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the peripheral 
TAB again (or push [F5] or press  on your keyboard if you use Internet Explorer or Mozilla 
Firefox).

38 3.3.8.4.3. Push Button  
 
 
 
Up to 16 Push buttons can be attached to the ePowerSwitch 8XM to trigger manually pre-programmed 
actions.  
 
You can connect a Push Button to the RJ45 connector on the ePowerSwitch*8XM or behind an xBus 
peripheral already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Daisy Chain Connection). 
 
To connect a Push button to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, use following procedure:
 
 
1.  Set the dip switches of the Push button so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with another 
Push button or another Digital Input Module already installed (see users guide of the Push button). 
 
    - Do NOT connect the xBus cable before setting its DIP switches. 
    - Do NOT use the same address for two different Push buttons. 
 
2.  Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the Push button to the RJ45 xBus connector on the 
ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind another xBus peripheral already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM. 
 
 
To configure the Push button, use following Log in procedure:
 
 
1.  Open you browser and log in to the Administrators Configuration Page,  
(ex. http://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
). 
 
2.  Enter the administrator name and password (default for both = admin). The home page appears. 
 
3.  Click on the Settings and then on the Peripherals Tab. 
 
If the Push button is properly connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM it will be automatically recognized and 
displayed on this page after a delay of 1 to 60 seconds. In this case, the colour of the corresponding Edit 
and Info symbol is red. 
 
The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the 
peripheral TAB again (or push [F5] or press  on your keyboard if you use Internet 
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox). 
 
Problem / Troubleshooting 
y If you choose any setting that is already in use by another Push button or another Digital Input Module 
connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, a conflict occurs and the corresponding Edit and Info symbol of 
a previous connected Push button or Digital Input Module will be changed to black. In that case, 
disconnect your last connected Push button, change the DIP switch settings to solve the address 
conflict and reconnect the Push button again. If the conflict is solved, all connected devices will now 
appear on the Peripherals page and their Edit and Info Symbol will be red. 
y The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the peripheral 
TAB again (or push [F5] or press  on your keyboard if you use Internet Explorer or Mozilla 
Firefox).
