EDGE 2 Main Controller and EDGE 2 Controller Screenless
Power Supplying
There are two ways to supply EDGE 2 Main Controller and EDGE 2 Controller Screenless:
1. By Expansion Box
2. By the EDGE PSU 24V 36W when the EDGE network is too long according to the network require-
ments or the voltage drop is too high on the EDGE network.
NOTE: To supply power to an Expansion Box, refer to the Expansion Box and Virtual Expansion Box
Installation on how to wire it to the EDGE 2 Main Controller or EDGE 2 Controller Screenless.
Install the EDGE 2 Controllers on the wall before connecting it to an Expansion Box.
Communication between devices
No matter the DC power source, EDGE 2 Main Controller or EDGE 2 Controller Screenless have to con-
nect the wires signal A and signal B to the Expansion Boxes.
NOTE: Refer to the Expansion Box and Virtual Expansion Box Installation on how to wire it to the EDGE
2 Main Controller or EDGE 2 Controller Screenless or follow the next paragraphs in this section.
EDGE PSU 24V 36W
The power consumption of an EDGE 2 Controller is similar to the previous EDGE Main Controller. To
upgrade an EDGE system, swapping out the Main Controllers is very easy if no new hardware features
are implemented.
For example, new cellular bases are installed to a current system. This new feature could overload the
power consumption of Expansion Boxes. To solve this problem, use an EDGE PSU 24V 36W close to the
problematic EDGE 2 Controller and supply it directly. This solution can also be used in the case of voltage
drop on an EDGE network that may be too long.
EDGE 2 Remote Display
Use the EDGE PSU 24V 36W to power the EDGE 2 Remote Display. This will make sure the EDGE
Expansion Box power supply is not overcharged.
