1.4 Connecting Devices
1.5 Sensor/Relay device pinhole allocation
The I/O card enables you to connect (4) sensor inputs and (4) relay outputs. Just connect the external
sensor and relay pin directly to the I/O card pinhole. Check the table below and locate which pinhole is
assigned to sensor input and relay output.
2019181716151413121110987654321
The signal from the sensor (i.e., infrared sensors, smoke detectors, proximity sensors, door sensors, etc.) is
being transmitted to the I/O card and this triggers the system to respond and send signal to relay device (i.e.,
alarm, telephone etc).
