2.4.4 Input/Output (I/O) Module 
Description:
The  Input/Output  (I/O)  module  interfaces  the
Transceiver module to all the inputs and outputs on
the backplane  terminal blocks. All inputs  and out-
puts are non-polarity sensitive. It has several hard-
ware jumpers that require setting  before being put
into service. All jumpers are “ganged” type jumpers
that sense the jumper setting  and report  it back to
the Transceiver  processor  for  displaying  status  on
the web pages. The I/O module mounts in the  top
right horizontal slot of the chassis behind the front
display board. The corresponding I/O OK LED that
gives status of this module is located on the display
board.  
Customer interface points:
Inputs (5 Standard)
There are 5 current-limited inputs that draw 5 mA
maximum. 
• INPUT  1  –  INPUT  5  Voltage  Selection
jumpers – Choose between 15V, 48V, 125V,
and 250V. These  are high voltage threshold
inputs that require  at  least greater than  half
high  station  battery  voltage  to  operate  as
long as the correct voltage is chosen.
Outputs (10 Standard Low Level)
There are 7 standard low level solid state outputs.
• LL01-LL07  Current  Selection  jumpers  –
Choose between 0.1A and 1.0A continuous.
Use 0.1A for driving low current loads such
as  microprocessor  relays,  and  use  1.0A  for
devices that draw up to 1A continuous. The
0.1A  setting  exists  because  there  is  a  very
low  leakage  current  when  the  output  is
turned off for the 1.0A setting, especially at
250V input, which could cause a low current
device  to  potentially  misoperate.  The  1.0A
output  should  also  be  used  when  having  to
interrupt  currents  that  are  over  0.25A,  as  it
can  interrupt  up  to  1A  currents  at  250Vdc,
unlike  all  the  other  UPLC-II™  outputs
which have lower current interrupting capa-
bility.
There are 3 standard low level EM contact outputs
normally used for low current alarm circuits.
• LL08-LL10  Contact  Selection  jumpers  –
Choose  between  N.O./N.C.  (Normally
Open/Normally Closed)
Outputs (4 Extra Optional Trip Duty)
These are able to make and carry up to 30A for 200
msec, which is long enough to trip a breaker direct-
ly. 
• TD01-TD04  Contact  Selection  jumpers  –
Choose  between  N.O./N.C.  (Normally
Open/Normally Closed)
