GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. POWER: Power will be supplied by the Graphite host device.
2. LEDs:
STS - Status LED shows module condition.
IN1-IN8 - LEDs are lit when associated input is active.
OP1-OP6 - LEDs are lit when associated output is active.
3. MEMORY: Non-volatile memory retains all programmable parameters.
4. INPUTS: DIP switch selectable for sink or source
Maximum voltage: +30 VDC, reverse polarity protected
Off Voltage: < 1.2 Volts
On Voltage: > 3.8 Volts
Input Impedance: Source Mode 10K ohms; Sink Mode 20K ohms
Input Frequency*:
Filter switch on: 50 Hz
Filter switch off: 300 Hz
* Actual useable frequency limited by communication to external device.
5. OUTPUTS: Outputs available as FORM-A relay or Solid State NFET.
Form A Relay Output:
Type: N.O.
The following pairs of relays share the common terminal: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6
Current Rating by pair: 3 Amps @ 30 VDC / 125 VAC resistive
1/10 HP @ 125 VAC
Life Expectancy: 200,000 cycles at maximum load rating. (Decreasing
load, increasing cycle time, and use of surge suppression such as RC
snubbers increases life expectancy.)
