Product Specifications & Capabilities
The specifications and capabilities for each product are shown in the table below,
however, generally your product will fit into one of four categories. As the four
categories are used throughout this manual, it’s helpful to recognize which category
your product fits in so you know which sections of the manual apply to each product
type.
Master
"Master" relay panels offer the full suite of capabilities of the Z-Max products including
all networking functionality and modular relays. Relay panel sizes range from as few
as 8 relays per panel up to 96 relays per panel.
Basic
The "Basic" relay panel is very similar to the Master except the feature set has been
reduced. It’s designed to be used in stand alone installations where only basic
capabilities are desired.
Remote
"Remote" relay panels are designed for remote installation and mounting where relay
switching from 4 to 48 load circuits is desired, but control intelligence, programming,
and interface to other systems is required at a central location. Exactly (1) Master
panel must exist on the same network as the remote relay cabinets, and the remote
panels can control relays, accept discreet inputs, and accept an emergency input.
EZ-Max
Panels designated as "EZ-Max" panels are very similar to a "Basic" relay panel except
that in addition to the feature set being reduced, the hardware as also undergone
change to make it a more economical and easy to install package. For example, on an
EZ-Max panel, the relays are not modular. You still get the superior switching
technology of the Z-Max panels, just in a non-modular format.
Product Specifications & Capabilities Chart

Max Relay Cabinet. In the table, the following abbreviations are used:
Y = Yes
N = No
O = Optional
* = An asterick in any column indicates that there is support for this feature, however,
there are conditions with which you should be aware. Consult the specific sections of
the manual dealing with this feature for additional information and requirements.
