Chapter 2: Signal Output
About Signal Output
A Signal Output is achieved by means of a dry contact relay. The PIX-
3000x can be programmed to generate up to 20 signals that may be set
for different days and times (See Chapter 3). However, the duration of
the contact (signal) is also a programmable option that is set once.
Installation
Disconnect AC power before connecting. See Page 8 for Options PCB
Installation and Page 7 for Terminal Block Wiring.
Terminal Block Connection:
Note: To protect the machine from noise or surge, please connect the
surge absorber (example: ESA-100010, S-1205) with a load as
shown above. It is recommended that you use a 12, 18, 24 or 30-
volt signal device. If this is not available, an external relay should
be used for 110V signals.
