Installing the DIO-10 Input/Output
Modules
Both digital inputs have internal pull-up resistors (2.43 K ) connected to
5V through a diode. This pull-up resistor allows the use of low-cost (non-
noble, metal-plated) contacts in external dry contacts (relays). The diode
prevents current flow through the pull-up resistor to the power supply
when the input is not a dry contact but a logic voltage above 5V. When the
input voltage is below 5V, the external electronics must sink current.
When the input voltage is above 5V, then the diode prevents the flow of
current through the pull-up resistor. For inputs above 5V, a separate
protection diode is forward biased through a 21.5K resistor. Table 6.3
details the sink (-)/source (+) currents required of the external electronics
at various input voltages.

Note: The two inputs on the DIO-10 are isolated from the power supply
and from the network, but are not isolated from each other. If the
installation requires that the inputs be isolated from each other, additional
LonPoint modules should be used.
