Channel Expander
The channel expander is an add-on module that can be used to expand the existing two
auxiliary outputs to a total of seven auxiliary outputs. Each one of these seven outputs
can be individually programmed for pulsed, latched, or timed-latch output. The
programming of the Channel Expander outputs must be done with the Option
Programmer; the CompuStar remotes do not have the ability to access these programming
options.
