All 780/781 controller series inputs are supervisory inputs. The follow-

normally closed and three normally open types. After the drawings,
there is an explanation of which types are recommended for access con-
trol installations.
Figure 6 shows the three types of normally closed supervisory inputs.

Door Open SW Open 10K
