Input/Output Module (IO)

The Low Voltage Input / Output Module is a non-intrinsically safe module that provides eight separate AC or DC voltage inputs 

that can range from 0 to 240 volts. In addition to the AC / DC inputs, the IO module also includes four 4-20mA signal outputs.

IO Module Specifications

Number of Channels: 8 optically isolated inputs

4 analog outputs

Input Voltage Rating: 3 – 240 Volts AC or DC 

(AC is rms value)

Input Current (each):

2 mA RMS

The AC / DC inputs are NOT dry contact inputs (there are 2 dry contact inputs on the power supply). Even though the 

IO Module can accept AC line voltage levels, it is  not intended to be used as a substitute for the AC Input Module for 

dispenser hook inputs. Dispenser hook signals often have leakage currents that could cause false ‘on’ signals when used 

with the IO Module.
Important: Use caution if both low voltage and high voltage signals are used simultaneously for the voltage

inputs. Use agency approved wire rated at 600V for safety and always make sure terminal connections

are tight and that no loose wire strands exist.

The IO Module’s four 4-20mA signal outputs can be used to interface to an external device such as a SCADA 

(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system or a building monitoring system. Typically, data such as tank levels or 

line pressures can be sent via the 4-20 outputs.
Important: The IO Module supplies 4-20mA loop power. Do NOT connect it to an external device that supplies

loop power or use an external power supply for the loop. Doing so may damage the IO and/or the

external device. For similar reasons DO NOT connect the IO Module’s 4-20mA outputs to the 4-20mA

inputs of the 4-20mA Input Module. The 4-20mA Input Module is intrinsically safe and cannot be used

with the non-intrinsically safe IO Module; connecting the two together may damage either or both

modules.
