General I/O Connector
The General I/O connector is a 25-pin male Type “D” connector. This connector brings out the
analog output 1 signal, Relay A and B contacts, and remote zero, alarm latch, and front-panel-
lockout digital control lines. The front panel lockout feature provides a security measure to
prevent inadvertent command entry through the front panel. The front panel can also be locked
or unlocked via RS-232 communications. The Relay A and B contacts can handle up to 1A at
30 VDC. Table 21 lists the pinout functions of the General I/O connector.
