The ADICON™ 2500 series provides a very inexpensive way to automate your entire home. You can learn infrared remote, control X10 devices, provide relay closures, various inputs and additional infrared outputs. Screw terminal connections provide for easy expansion. You even get our free C-Max™ software to program the system.

The CPUXA™ is the center of the ADICON™ 2500 series. It connects to the computer via the RS232 port on the back of your PC. The CPUXA™ has a built in IR receiver so you can start learning infrared commands immediately. There is an IR transmit port to connect an IR emitter and an extra IR receive port to connect a external IR receiver. The CPUXA™ has a RJ-11 connection that connects to a TW523 and provides two way X10 control. A 4-wire screw terminal provides for power and communications to our various ADICON™ 2500 modules.

The CPUXA™ comes complete the TW523 interface cable and the RS232 Serial cable. It also comes with our C-Max™ Control Wizard software, which allows you to construct your own program to tell the CPUXA™ what to do. IF-THEN-AND-OR-ELSE programming makes writing your own code fast and easy. Once the program has been downloaded into the CPUXA, you can turn the computer off and the CPUXA™ will act as a stand-alone controller. The CPUXA can hold up to 512 (expandable to 1024) unique IR commands and over 2000 lines of code.

Various modules are also available to allow you to expand the ADICON™ 2500 series. The SECU16™ provides 8 low current relay outputs and 8 inputs that can be configured as Analog Inputs (0-5V), Digital Inputs, 4-20mA inputs or Supervised inputs. The SECU16I™ provides 16 inputs that can be configured as Analog Inputs (0-5V), Digital Inputs, 4-20mA inputs and Supervised inputs. The SECU16IR allows you to add 16 additional IR outputs. The RLY8XA™ provides 8 high current (120V @ 10A) relay closures. The RLY8XA™ can even be controlled via X10 using a TW523.

With the ADICON™ 2500 series, you even have the ability to control your ADICON™ 2500 series remotely. The ADNET™ Modem connects to the CPUXA’s serial port. Using the C-Max™ control wizard software, you can call into the ADICON™ 2500 from a remote computer and control the ADICON™ 2500 as if you were right at the CPUXA. You can also use the ADNET™ Modem to call a pager based on an event that happens on the ADICON™ 2500 series. An alphanumeric message can be sent to your pager to indicate the event. Up to 15 messages can be stored, and each message can be 64 characters long.

You can connect any combination up to 128 modules to a single CPUXA™. This makes the ADICON™ 2500 Series ideal for any size installation.
