System Expansion

There are many ways to expand upon a CT system. The pages in this section will highlight simple meth-
ods for adding zones to a CT system. For all installations, simple back and forth IR communication will be
needed.

IR, RS-232 and Ethernet (pending) may be used for the CT system interface. Typically only one form is
used, however, all may be used in more advanced systems. RS-232 or Ethernet greatly enhance the com-
mand and control of the CT system controller when combined with the advanced features such as Serial
Macros.

If user interfaces primarily communicate and control the system with IR, link multiple CT Receivers with the
IR Link In and Out. If user interfaces communicate and control the system with RS-232, follow the recom-
mendations set by the manufacturer of the serial controller.
