Risco Cellular On Bus (COB) Module - Suits LightSYS+ and LightSYS2
The Risco RP512ECOB00A Cellular On Bus (COB) module enables a cellular communication module to be installed outside the control panel along the system bus. This allows flexible positioning of the cellular module for improved signal strength in challenging installation environments.
The COB is an interface board designed for a plug-in 4G module and supports cellular reporting, cloud connectivity, and multi-path communication.
Key Features
- Allows installation of a cellular module externally along the system bus.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this module include the 4G cellular communicator?
No. RP512ECOB00A is the interface board that a plug-in 4G module connects to. - Where can the COB module be mounted?
For installations up to 30 m from the panel, it can be mounted in the B5 Box (RP128B5) or inside a LightSYS polycarbonate box (RP432B). - Do I need extra power for long distances?
Yes. For distances greater than 30 m from the panel, a separate power supply is required.
Additional Information
- Cellular On Bus modules are commonly used where the panel enclosure location limits signal reception.
- COB allows installers to optimise module placement while maintaining BUS integration.
- Compatible with LightSYS version 5.92 and above, and ProSYS Plus version 1.2.1.17 and above.
