Warning - The highest level of importance used to stress a condition where damage
could result to the product or the user could suffer serious injury.
Important –The middle level of importance used to highlight information that might
not seem obvious or a situation that could cause the product to fail.
Note –The lowest level of importance used to provide background information,
additional tips, or other non-critical facts that will not affect the use of the product.
High Voltage Warning - USE EXTREME CAUTION!
High voltages will be present on the SeaI/O family of products when high voltage is
connected. Never handle the printed circuit board when high voltage signals are
connected to the board.

Depending upon your application, you are likely to find one or more of the following items
useful for interfacing the DIO-16.LPCI to real-world signals.
All items can be purchased from our website (http://www.sealevel.com) or by calling +1 864-
843-4343.
DB44 Male to DB44 Female, 72” Extension Cable (Item# CA185)
The CA185 is a standard DB44M to DB44F extension
cable. Extend a DB44 cable or locate a piece of hardware
where it is needed with this six foot (72”) cable. The
connectors are pinned one-to-one so the cable is
compatible with any device or cable with DB44
connectors. The cable is fully shielded against
interference and the connectors are molded to provide
strain relief. Dual metal thumbscrews secure the cable
connections and prevent accidental disconnection.
DB44 Male to BD37 Male, 72” Cable (Item# CA206)
DB44 Male to DB37 Male Cable, 72 in Length - for 8012.
The CA206 is useful for interfacing the DB44 connector
on the 8012 to the DB37 connector on the TB02 terminal
block.

Terminal Block Kit –TB02 + CA206 Cable (Item# KT111)
Terminal Block KT111 simplifies field wiring
requirements by creating a direct connection between a
TB02 terminal block and the 8012 board. The KT111
includes the TB02 terminal block, CA206 cable, ST101
Snap Track and STDIN mounting clips.
The Digital I/O Handbook –A Practical Guide to Industrial Input and Output
Applications (Item# REF101)
Renowned technical author Jon Titus and president and
CEO of Sealevel Systems, Tom O'Hanlan, clearly explain
real-world digital input/output implementation from
both a hardware and software perspective. Whether you
are a practicing engineer or a student, The Digital I/O
Handbook will provide helpful insight you will use again
and again.
Terminal Block –DB37 Male and DB37 Female to 27
Screw Terminals (Item# TB02)
The TB02 terminal block can be used to break out serial
and digital DB37 connectors to screw terminals for easy
field wiring. The terminal block was designed with both
DB37 male and female connectors, therefore; it can be
used with any DB37 board regardless of the board's port
gender.
Terminal Block Kit –DB37 Male and DB37 Female to 27 Screw Terminals
(Item# TB02-KT)
The TB02-KT terminal block can be used to break out
serial and digital DB37 connectors to screw terminals for
easy field wiring. The terminal block was designed with
both DB37 male and female connectors, therefore; it can
be used with any DB37 board regardless of the board's
port gender. The TB02-KT ships with a RoHS compliant
TB02 terminal block, a 6 piece of slotted Snap Track,
and two DIN-rail mounting clips.

The DIO-16.LPCI provides 8 optically isolated inputs and 8 reed relay SPST (single pole-single
throw) outputs. The inputs protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and
ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the outputs
provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures.
Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally open, and will
close when energized.
The board meets the requirements for the MD1 "Low Profile" specification as defined by the
PCISIG in the PCI 2.2 Specifications Low Profile Addendum. The DIO-16.LPCI also features
Universal Bus (3.3 and 5.0V) operation.
The DIO-16.LPCI is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems including Windows,
Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API (Application Programming Interface) included on the CD shipped
with the DIO-16.LPCI provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented as a
Windows dynamic link library (.DLL) and as a Linux static library (.a). In addition to the API,
SeaI/O includes a device driver, sample code, and utilities to simplify software development.
Eight optically isolated inputs optimized for +5V
Eight Reed relay outputs (SPST)
Highly reliable 10VA Reed relays
MD1 Low Profile and Universal Bus (3.3V and 5V) compatible
Power (+5V and +12V) and ground provided on connector
SeaI/O Classic software supports Windows and Linux Operating Systems
