Model 7435 and 9455 Clean and Quiet Protection Switches

General Purpose Interface: GPI/GPO

In addition to full monitoring and access through the control system, 9455 and 7435 modules provide

contact closure status indications. The 9455/7435 can be configured to work with external devices

through the GPI interface via the 23700048 Interface Adapter Cable. The 9455/7435 module’s GPI

output connections can drive an alarm system or other external devices, including LEDs. The module’s

two override GPI inputs are accessed through the 9 pin D connector and are enabled through Avenue

PC software. When the module’s GPI inputs are closed to ground, these overrides will force the switch

to either Primary or Secondary. The GPI inputs are edge-triggered on a negative pulse, or simply a

falling edge. These inputs may also be used to switch back to the Primary after a fault has cleared.

The 23700048 Interface Adapter Cable connects to the 15 pin D connector on the back of the Avenue

frame that is associated with the clean switch module. This cable comes with each clean switch

module and provides a 9 pin D connector for GPI/GPO control, and an Ethernet port for software

upgrades. Please see the photo below as well as the illustrations on the following page for detailed

cable and pinout information.
