Operation Examples
Below are examples of how to connect and check the status for devices used with the I/O terminal
board.
Sensor Input Connection
The illustration below is used as an example. In this example a motion sensing camera is connected.
• Connect the SENSOR_IN + on the Vess I/O terminal interface with an external camera
Alarm Out + (Red wire in illustration)
• Connect the SENSOR_IN - on the Vess I/O terminal interface with an external camera
Alarm Out - (Black wire in illustration)

Check Sensor Input Status in CLI
To check the status for the device that issues a warning to the terminal board. Follow these steps:
1. OpentheCLIinterface,type<enclosure –v>thesensorstatusdisplays.
2. TheSensorStatusdisplayedisdependantontheinputpairthatisusedontheSensorInput
interface. For example, the Input 4 pair (IN_4+and IN_4-)displaysSensor Status 247.
Use the value to calculate which pair is connected to a camera or alarm. Use the tables on pages
14 and 15 in “FAQ”.

Alarm Output Connection
The illustration below is used as an example. The example used is an alarm.
• Connect the ALARM_OUT + on the I/O terminal interface to the 3.3V or 5V connection on the
external alarm device (Blue wire in illustration)
• Connect the ALARM_OUT - on the I/O terminal interface to the Input + connection on the
external alarm device (Red wire in illustration)
• Connect the ALARM_GND - on the I/O terminal interface to the Input - connection on the
external alarm device (Black wire in illustration)
See “Alarm Output Connector” on page 4 for pin assignments.

Connecting an Analog Cameras with RS-232/422/485 ports
These are important points to keep in mind when using or connecting and using analog cameras.
• Onlyoneconnectorcanbeusedatonetime:RS-232C, RS-422, or RS-485
• For pan, tiltand zoomoperations, connect a camera control cable to RS-232 connector or the
RS-422/485 connector (four rightmost pins on the alarm output connector).
• RS-232Port1:Thisisusedforcontrollineconnectiontoanuninterruptiblepowersupply
(UPS).
• RS-232Port2: Use this to connect to analog cameras via the analog camera input cable.
Note: This connector cannot be used at the same time as the RS-422/485 connector.
• RS-422/RS-485 : Use this to connect to analog cameras via the analog camera input cable.
Note: This connector cannot be used at the same time as the RS-232 connector.

FAQ
Q1:HowcanIknowwhichdevicehasaninputsignal(SensorStatus=Enable)toI/Oterminal
boardcontrollerfromsensorstatusinCLI?
A: Use this table to determine which camera is sending the warning (Sensor Status=Enable).
Note that when the Sensor Status in the CLI is “0”, indicates signal input on all SENSOR IN; a
Sensor Status of “1” indicates SENSOR IN 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 have signal input; SENSOR IN 1 (20)
has no signal input.
Example#1
Sensor Status is “72” in CLI.
• 26plus 23equals 72=> SENSOR IN_7 and SENSOR IN_4 have no input signal
(i.e. Sensor Status = Disable).
• All other SENSOR IN (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8) have input signals. (i.e. Sensor Status = Enable).
Example#2
Sensor status is “255” in CLI .
- All SENSOR IN (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) have no input signals. (i.e. Sensor Status = Disable).

Q2:How canI knowwhich externalalarm issuesa warning(Alarm Status= Enable)from
alarmstatusinCLI?
A:Usethistablethatyoucancalculatewhichexternalalarmiswarning(AlarmStatus=Enable).
Note that when the Alarm Status in the CLI is “0”, indicates warning on all ALARM_OUT; an Alarm
Status of “1” indicates ALARM_OUT 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 have signal input; ALARM_OUT (20) has no
warning.
Example#1
Alarm Status is “129” in CLI.
• 27plus 20equals 129 => ALARM_OUT._8 and ALARM_OUT_1 have no warning
Example#2
Alarm status is “255” in CLI .
• No warning (signal output) on all alarms.
