Digital outputs
The digital outputs control relays and on/off valves.
For the maximum load per output see Appendix A.
Connecting loads to digital outputs
Connecting of loads to the digital outputs such as on/off valves is done by using the
DOUT positions and the negative battery terminal as ground.
Protection against voltage transients
A clamping diode must be placed between the digital output and ground, as close to the
load as possible. This protects the output against high voltage transients.
For example, use diode: 1N5408 (3A/1000V).
Depending on the load, other clamping diodes might be used instead.
EXAMPLE
Connect the on/off valve to the digital output using the DOUT-X, and the negative
battery terminal as ground.

Connecting a load to the digital output.
NOTICE
If the load is controlled in parallel with another system, the digital output pin must
also be protected with a second diode.
