About the GPIO Terminal Block
Use the GPIO terminal block (P/N 203-726-002) to connect industrial
controls such as motion sensors or lights to Intermec RFID readers.
GPIO Terminal Block
What You Need
You connect the terminal block to the reader with a GPIO cable:
•For IF5, IF30, and IF61, use Intermec P/N 236-057-001.
•For IV7, use Intermec P/N 236-089-001. This cable also connects
the IV7 to a host PC.
You supply your own cables or wiring for your industrial controls.
For more information on connecting industrial controls to the
terminal block, see “Connecting To the IF5, IF30, and IF61
Readers” on page 12.
Note: Using the terminal block with the IV7 Vehicle-Mount Reader
requires special considerations. For more information, see
“Connecting To the IV7 Vehicle-Mount Reader” on page 23.

8 GPIO Terminal Block User’s Guide
Some Intermec readers can also provide power for your external
controls. For more information, see “Connecting Devices to the
Power Terminal” on page 21.
About the Terminal Block Connections
Connect the terminal block to your Intermec reader through the serial
port. Cables from industrial controls are run through the strain relief
connector shown in the next illustration and connected to the screw
terminals on the main circuit board.
Terminal Block Connections
About the Input, Output, and Power Terminal Connections
The terminal block provides standard screw terminals that you use to
connect industrial control wiring to the reader GPIO and power
interfaces.
The screw terminals are located inside the terminal block on the main
circuit board as shown in the next illustration.

Installing the Terminal Block
You need these tools to install the terminal block:
•Drill and drill bits appropriate for the mounting surface
•Small straight-slot and Phillips screwdrivers
•Wire crimping and stripping tool
To install the terminal block
1Choose a location for the terminal block.
2Drill four mounting holes. Use the included drilling template
(P/N 931-008-001).
3Remove the top cover from the terminal block.
4Place the terminal block in the location and secure it to the
mounting surface with four appropriate fasteners.
Note: For IP54 compatibility, mount the terminal block with the
connector side facing toward the floor.
Note: The terminal block includes four #6 x 2-inch wood screws you
can use for mounting, or you can supply your own mounting
hardware.
