3.2.2. Digital Input Interface
Digital Input interface includes 2 digital inputs which can be used to monitor the external digital
signal. They can be connected to toggle switch, tact switch or reed switch. There are four pins on
the left side of the 8-pin connector. The pin description is shown in Table 5.

3.2.2.1. Digital Input 1
Digital input 1 work as a lock switch and it is recommended to connect to a toggle switch or a
reed switch.
If SW103 is set to ‘H’, the logical status is ‘0’ when the electrical level of digital input 1 is high. It
will be ‘1’ if the electrical level of digital input 1 is low.
If SW103 is set to ‘L’, the logical status is ‘1’ when the electrical level of digital input 1 is high. It
will be ‘0’ if the electrical level of digital input 1 is low.

The default logical status of digital input 2 is ‘0’ and it will be reversed when the electrical level of
digital input 2 changes two times.
The logical status of digital input 2 will effect on the power output of PCU. Please refer to chapter
3.6 for detail.
The reference connection of digital input 2 is shown in following figure.

3.2.3. PWR Output Interface
The power output is included in the PWR Output interface. It also includes the UART interface for
the communication between GL300W and PCU. There are four pins on the right side of the 8-pin
connector. The pin description is shown in Table 6.

3.3.1. SW101
SW101 is used to enable/disable the onboard motion sensor.
3.3.2. SW102
SW102 is used to configure the auto power up function. If it is set to ‘L’, the power output will be
enabled for at least 5 minutes every day even when the PCU is in rest. If SW102 is set to ‘H’, the
power output will never be enabled when the PCU is in rest. (In case the logical status of two
digital inputs are all 0).
There are some reporting messages relate to this function. Please refer to chapter 6.2.4 for
details.
3.3.3. SW103
SW103 is used to configure the logical status of digital input 1.
3.3.4. SW104
SW104 is used to enable/disable the indication LED. If SW104 is set to ‘H’, the LED will be
disabled. If SW104 is set to ‘L’, the LED will be enabled.
Please notice that even when the LED is enabled, it will only light when the power output is
enabled.

3.4. Indication LED
The Red LED is used to indicate the output of the power. It is controlled by the toggle switch
SW104 and the power output.
3.5. Onboard Motion Sensor
If SW101 is set to ‘H’, the motion sensor will be disabled and the logical status of motion sensor
will always be ‘0’. If SW101 is set to ‘L’ then the motion sensor will be enabled. The logical status
of motion sensor will be ‘1’ when the PCU is in motion, and be ‘0’ when the PCU is in rest. Please
notice that there will be five minutes’ delay after the logical status of motion sensor change from
‘1’ to ‘0’.
The logical status of motion sensor will effect on the power output. Please refer to chapter 3.6
for detail.
3.6. Relations between Logical Status and Power Output
Only when the logical status of digital input 1 and 2 are all 0, the power output can be disabled.
PCU will send the report on every logical status change to the backend server via GL300W. Please
refer to chapter 6.2 for detail.
The description of the logical status is shown in following table. The power output will be
disabled when the logical status of power output changes from 1 to 0. But please notice that
there will be five minutes delay to let the GL300W send out the report message to backend.
