External Device I/O Terminals

External Device Input Terminals (In1, In2)

The external device input terminals consist of 2 terminals (In1 and In2), one of which is '+' (red) and another is '-' (black). The '-' terminal is grounded on the inside of the main unit. By connecting two cables to the + and – terminals and then electrically short-circuiting across the terminals (ON) or separating the connection (OFF), an interrupt can be generated for the internal controller. See "Picture Recording and External Device I/O Settings Page" in Chapter 3 "Setup Procedures" (P.49) for information on the settings.

Connect any sensors and switches to terminals with electrically separate GND terminals and power supplies.

External Device Output Terminals (Out1, Out2)

The external device output terminals consist of 2 white terminals (Out1 and Out2). Both terminal combinations are peers. The Internal controller switches the two output terminals to disconnected or connected condition. The output terminals use optocouplers and are separate from the internal circuit in the VB101. Loads connected to the output terminals should be within the following ratings:

Rating across the output terminals: Up to 50 V
