For a Sd-50/0, the ‘" J6’ input is strictly an .mp3/.wav input. It is optically isolated. It can be set
to run from an external power source or the same power as the Sd-50/xx (default configuration).
This is selected by moving the
switch on the bottom of the Sd-50/xx. The ‘external’ setting is used
when you want to completely isolate the Sd-50/xx from the switch closures that control it.
The input from Kp-200 keypad(s) to the ‘" J6’ input is a ‘straight wire’, using a ten position
ribbon cable and a 10-IDS connector at each end of the connection. If you want to optoisolate the
connection, attach a nine to twenty-four vdc power supply to the Kp-200, and throw the switch on
the bottom of the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 into the ‘isolated’ position. If you don’t need to optoisolate
the Kp-200, then put the switch on the bottom of the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 into the ‘internal’ power
position. The Kp-200 needs no power other than what it will get from the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40
through the ‘" J6’ cable.
On a Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40, this input/output is almost always run in the ‘Internal’ power mode.
The only exception to this is if you are going to be running the devices controlled by these eight
Show Control outputs from a different voltage from the rest of the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40. As an ex-
ample, if the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 is running from twenty-four vdc, and you need to control eight
twelve vdc relays, you can power this one port from a twelve vdc power supply separate from the
main one (you will need to connect the grounds of the two power supplies).
! ! ServoMotor PWM via the ʻ¼ J6ʼ port
If you are running typical ServoMotors, you have two ways to connect them. The first way is
used if you don’t need to use any of the other pins on the ‘" J6’ port for anything other than Ser-
voMotors. The second is used if you need to use some of the pins of the ‘" J6’ port for other pur-
poses than ServoMotors:
