PANTRONISM-8000/24VDCDIN Rail
ISM-8000
8-channel multiplex infrared amplifier for higher-density multi-beam systems. The ISM-8000 is Pantron's higher-density eight-channel infrared multiplexer for long-range, contamination-resistant sensing. It uses the same display and PC-software operating concept as the ISM-4000 while extending the platform to eight channels, making it appropriate for larger machines and systems that need more monitored points from one control-cabinet location.

Key Features
- Eight multiplexed sensing channels in one amplifier.
- Menu-driven operation using the front display or WinISM PC software.
- Manual or automatic operation selectable.
- Switching behaviour selectable between light and dark mode.
- Configurable switching delay from 0 to 60 s.
- Floating distance switching outputs are short-circuit proof.
- Alarm output for power limit plus analog output and sensor-control error handling.
- Primary / Secondary capability supports larger coordinated sensing systems.
Best Fit Applications
- Larger machines with many sensing paths that should be consolidated into one amplifier platform.
- Multi-lane or multi-station industrial processes requiring coordinated through-beam sensing.
- Control cabinets that need strong channel density without moving to multiple smaller modules.
- Projects requiring analog status output, RS232 setup, and primary / secondary architecture.
The ISM-8000 follows the same general operating concept as the ISM-4000 but doubles the channel count for broader machine coverage from one DIN-rail assembly.

As with the ISM-4000, the ISM-8000 uses display-driven or PC-software-driven configuration instead of only front DIP-switches, enabling denser multi-channel deployment with broader diagnostics.

Device Layout and Wiring Notes
- The front display aggregates gain control, channel status, and limit information across all eight channels.
- RS232 communication is provided on the front COM interface for PC setup and diagnostics.
- Connection diagram includes separate outputs for channels 1 through 8 plus error, limit, analog, and primary / secondary terminals.
- Two test inputs are shown for system checking in the wiring section.
Choose the ISM-8000 when the application needs the display-driven feature set of the ISM-4000 but with significantly higher channel density in one housing.
