Figure 1 – Connections
To the left of the P1 connector is a LED that flashes during normal operation at 1 second intervals.
Starting in the lower left hand side you have:
P1
o Output Relay 0-3 (pins 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08): The first four outputs of the module;
connected here The first four loads to be controlled (for example Out 0 consists of the terminals
01 and 02).
Each output can bear a maximum current of 24V @ 1A with resistive load. At load or inductive
loads exceeding the allowed limits it is recommended inferfacing with the power relay.
Each output (Out “N”) also has an internal green light visible through the transparent window on
the front panel showing the status (Off = output non-energized, ON: output energized)
o Input 0-3 (pins 09,10,11,12): These are the first four inputs of the module. These are
configured as Dry contacts. A dry contact, also called a volt-free contact, is a set of switch
contacts that have no other circuit or voltage wired to them.
In other words, a dry contact simply detects whether or not an input switch is open or closed.
LOW STATUS: input pin open
HIGH STATUS: input pin closed to common input pin.
o Input Common terminal (pins 13, 14): Contacts that are referenced by all of the module’s
inputs. The common reference terminals are the contacts 13:14 “common input” (they are
equivalent to each other).
o Supply 12-24VDC (pins 15,16,17,18): This terminal consists of the pins 15,16,17 and 18
which serve to supply power the module. Pins 15 and 18 are related to the "grounding" of the
module that is used to control any over-voltage present at the inputs. The pins 16 and 17
instead relate to the DC module. The pin 16 is connected to the "-" power supply while pin 17 is
connected to the "+". The DC voltage supplied via must be, as stated, 12 or 24V.
P2
o Output Relay 4-7 (pins 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26): These are the remaining four outputs of the
module; The remaining four loads connect here to control. Each output can support a maximum
current of 24V @ 1A with resistive load; In the case of loads exceeding the allowed limits, it is
recommended to use an inductive interface with power relay. Each output (Out "N") also has an
internal green light that is visible through the transparent window on the front panel showing the
status (Off = output non-energized, ON: output energized).
o Input 4-7 (pins 27,28,29,30): They are the remaining four module inputs; These are configured
as Dry contacts. A dry contact, also called a volt-free contact, is a set of switch contacts that
have no other circuit or voltage wired to them.
In other words, a dry contact simply detects whether or not an input switch is open or closed.
LOW STATUS: input pin open
HIGH STATUS: input pin closed to common input pin.
