Basic Architecture
The DSX-1048PKG includes a DSX-1040E Enclosure, a 
DSX-1040CDM Communication Distribution Module and 4 – 
1042 Intelligent Controllers. This provides 8 Reader Ports, 32 
Inputs, and 16 Outputs. The DSX-1048 Package comes 
complete with 32-1K ohm EOL Resistors, Lock & Key, Wire 
Ties, Tamper Switch, an External Power Indicator and a DSX-
1040PDP Power Distribution Panel. 
The DSX-1040CDM receives RS-485 communications from a 
possible previous panel and regenerates the 4 wire-RS485 to 
the next DSX-1048PKG. The DSX-1040CDM module also 
distributes Slave Controller communication to the Slave panels 
within the same enclosure. Each DSX-1042 is powered from 
an individually fused 12 volt output from the DSX-1040CDM 
Communications Distribution Module. The DSX-1040CDM 
receives power from the DSX-1040PDP Power Distribution 
Panel. 
Used in conjunction with the DSX-1048PKG is a DSX-
1040PDP or Power Distribution Panel. The DSX-1040PDP 
houses the panel and lock power supplies, backup batteries, 
and fused power distribution module. The DSX-1040PDP is 
comprised of a DSX-1040PE Enclosure, an SWS-150 15V 
power supply for the Controllers, an SWS-150-[15] or [27] for 
either 12Vor 24Vlocks, and a DSX-1040PDM. The DSX-
1040PDM performs several critical functions such as 
supervising Power Supplies and Batteries, distributing power 
through fused outputs, and providing battery charging circuits. 
All Outputs are Class II, Power Limited.
