If F741-SD is going to transmit signal to other device, please connect to the device
which is below 48V and 10mA.
If user wants F741-SD to receive data from other device through GPIO, please
connect 24V power source to PIN19 or PIN20 and connect the device output line to
Pin 1~ Pin8.
The development of programming of receiving data from GPIO could reference the
document “FAVITE F741-SD GPIO Programming Guide_DotNet CSharp” for read
data from GPIO with application method.
If user wants F741-SD to transmit data to other device though GPIO, please connect
to Pin 9~ Pin 16.
The programming of transmitting data to other device (like light stack) could
reference the document “FAVITE F741-SD GPIO Programming Guide_DotNet
CSharp” for write data from GPIO with application method. The device should
connect to independent power source.
