QSE-IO Control Interface
The QSE-IO contact closure interface provides integration with third-party equipment requiring contact closure input / output, including occupancy and vacancy sensors; motorized projection screens, skylights, and window shades; AV equipment; security systems; movable partition walls; and timeclocks. One QSE-IO interface provides five (5) dry contact closure outputs and five (5) inputs.
Features
• Integrates a QS control system with equipment that has contact-closure inputs and outputs.
• Provides five inputs and five dry contact closure outputs.
• Provides both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts.
• May be programmed to control or be controlled on a QS system.
Power
• SELV / PELV / NEC Class 2
• Operating voltage: 24–36 V =100 mA QS Link Limits
• The QS wired communications link is limited to 100 devices and 100 zones. Each QSE-IO control interface counts as 1 device and 5 zones.
• Each QSE-IO control interface consumes 3 Power Draw Units (PDU) on the QS link.
• The maximum wiring length for the QS link is 2000 ft (610 m).
Environment
• 32 ??F to 104 ??F (0 ??C to 40 ??C).
• Relative humidity less than 90% non-condensing.
• Indoor use only.
• Unit generates heat, maximum 8 BTU / hr.
Functionality and Operating Modes
• Using the inputs, contact closures in other
equipment can operate control units to:
– Select scenes
– Adjust scenes to reflect status of movable walls
– Toggle any combination of zones in the system
between Off and a configurable preset value
– Turn lights on or off and / or move shades based
on room occupancy
– Perform special functions such as sequencing,
panic, control lockout, or timeclock disable
• Using the outputs, scene and / or zone changes in
control units can:
– Trigger outputs to control other equipment
– Provide status feedback to other equipment
• Using the inputs, contact closures in other equipment
can operate Sivoia QS window treatments to:
– Open or close.
– Raise, lower, or stop.
– Select one of three adjustable presets.
• Using the outputs, key presses on QS window treatment keypads or GRAFIK Eye QS window treatment buttons can:
– Trigger outputs to other motorized window treatment equipment
• Scene selection
• Occupancy sensor
• Zone toggle
• Shade input
• Special functions
• Shade output
• Partitioning
• For a full list of functionality and operating modes, please see the Operating Modes and Dipswitch Settings table on Pages 8 and 9
Five Input Terminals
• Accept maintained inputs and momentary inputs with 40 msec minimum pulse times
• Off-state leakage current must be less than 100 ?A
•Open circuit voltage: 24 V = maximum
• Inputs must be dry contact closure, solid state, open collector, or active-low (NPN) / active high (PNP) output
– Open collector NPN or active-low on-state voltage must be less than 2 V =and sink 3.0 mA
– Open collector PNP or active-high on-state voltage must be greater than 12 V =and source 3.0 mA
Five Output Terminals
• Provide selectable maintained or momentary (1/4 second) outputs (SELV / PELV / NEC Class 2 rated only)
• The QSE-IO is not rated to control unclamped, inductive loads. Inductive loads include, but are not limited to, relays, solenoids, and motors. To control these types of equipment, a flyback diode must be
used (DC voltages only). See "Terminal Locations"
• Output relays are non-latching (if relays are closed and power is lost, relays will open)
