• All inputs are specially treated to accept either a voltage (up to 24 VDC), or a closure
to ground, which may be provided by switches, relays, or logic outputs. The inputs are
active low.
• A built in 1kΩ pull up resistor is provided so TTL outputs can be directly interfaced.
See below for a simplified schematic of the input circuitry.

DEEP TECH NOTE!
The TWO’s “universal” logic input circuit can be used with switch or relay closures,
voltage levels up to 24 Vdc, or logic outputs – either “totem- pole” or open- collector.
Outputs
Outputs are open collector to ground and can sink up to 400 mA of current. Their functions
are shown on the previous page.
These will require a pull-up resistor to function with other logic inputs. Some equipment
has the pull-ups built into their control inputs – check the device’s manual to be sure. If
there is no pull-up in the interfaced equipment, you’ll have to add one. An appropriate
value is 2.2KΩ.
Current should be limited to 400ma maximum per output with total output restricted to 1
amp (200ma each output if all five will be used).
If used with a relay or LED, then tie your external power source ground to pin 1 (or use the
5 VDC power supplied on pin 8 and run this power source through your device, with a
resistor in series to limit maximum current to 400ma.
