Overview
The DIN Contact Input Station WireLink™ model, STIDEW101
and RadioLink™ model, STIDER121 feature 10 contact input
channels for receiving Dry-Contact Open/Close states from
external devices. Various types of external switches and
sensors are available from Vantage and other third party
manufacturers. These include magnetic door contact switches,
momentary switches, motion detectors, stress sensors,
humidity and temperature sensors, smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors, driveway probes, etc.

Software/Firmware
The WireLink model is compatible with InFusion Design Center
software or QLink 3.5 and Controller Firmware 6.5 or higher.
The RadioLink model is compatible with InFusion Design
Center or QLink 4.0 and Controller Firmware 7.0 or higher. For
new projects it is recommended that firmware and software be
kept to the most current release.
Installation/Mounting
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or
supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. There are two
methods of connecting the Station Bus to the Contact Input
Relay Station:
1. Using the Station Bus connection on the removable
screw terminal connectors (see drawing on back).
2. Using the pins on the side of the Station to pass
Station Bus (see Drawing) Part #VDC-0197.
3. The RadioLink model needs a power supply
connected. Vantage part # ACPOXRVA1, 12 Volt Plug-
in Supply for use with RadioLink Products 12VDC
1000MA is recommended.
The DIN Contact Input Station is mounted on a standard 35mm
DIN Rail (EN 50 022: 1977).
Connecting Device Requirements
All low voltage connections to each Contact Input are wired to
removable screw terminal connectors. All 10 Contact Inputs
are available on the bottom of the Station. Each Contact Input
can be given custom names in software to facilitate their use in
the installation.
Auxiliary 12Vdc connections are also available on the DIN CIS
screw terminal connectors. There are 4 screw terminal
connections available with a maximum, combined current of
50ma or any single connection with a maximum of 50ma. The
ground for the 12Vdc connections is any one of the Contact
Input ground connections.
The DIN CIS has two sets of removable screw terminal
connectors on the bottom for wiring. Any device that connects
to the CIS must only use the CIS ground for the ground
reference.
This is often called a "floating" or "isolated" input to the DIN
CIS. This isolation can be provided from several different
systems. The most common are door contacts and motion
detectors, providing a dry contact relay connection to the CIS.
Battery powered devices that are not connected to other
equipment can be used with the DIN CIS. Devices that are
powered from the +12Vdc and CIS ground connections can
also be used.
The DIN CIS inputs can accept small voltage levels (0 to
12VDC) instead of dry contacts as long as the voltage is only
referenced to the CIS's ground. The input will switch the CIS
when the voltage reaches the required level. The logic may be
reversed in the software by changing the polarity from
Normally Open to Normally Closed. A power level of 0.0VDC
to 0.5VDC equals a PRESS, 3.0VDC to 12VDC equals a
RELEASE. A 2.0VDC power range is insufficient to toggle an
Open/Close state.
Example:
Current CIS State Input Voltage Resulting CIS State
Open < 0.5V Closed (PRESS)
Closed > 3.0V Open (RELEASE)
Station Set Up in Software
InFusion: First select the room, then click on Vantage Objects
in the Object Explorer and expand Stations, WireLink. From the
list of stations double click on the DIN Contact Input Station to
place it in the room. In the Object Editor, name the station and
make sure it is on the correct station bus port. Each contact is
also listed in the Object Editor and may be assigned to a task.
QLink: In QLink Location view, select the floor and room
where the Contact Input Station will be added. Right click on
the room and select Add DIN Stations. Select Contact Input.
The Contact Input Station Box will pop up. Inputs 9 & 10 may
be programmed as auxiliary inputs for IR (Contact 9) and the
Vantage LightPoint Sensor (Contact 10), respectively. Each of
the buttons on the CIS are programmed identically as Keypad
Station buttons.
Programming Contact Inputs
When programming, each Contact Input can trigger any
appropriate tasks or functions available in Design Center or
QLink, and works like a button press and release. Select Switch
Polarity Normally Open or Normally Closed and set Switch
Hold Time (Default is normally used).
Configuration with WireLink Models
When the DIN CIS is first connected to the Station Bus, the
Status LED will blink twice followed by a pause, meaning that
the station is connected correctly but not yet configured. From
