Each digital output line will drive five (5) standard TTL loads. All digital input lines are one-eighth
(0.125) TTL loads. All inputs are protected against damage from high static voltage. Normal
precautions should be taken to limit the input voltages to the range of 0.0 to 5.3 volts. All digital I/O
lines are referenced to the connector’s ground pins.
The following figure and table identify pin locations for outputs, inputs, and grounds associated with
the DB50 connector. Outputs 1 through 32 are typic ally used for alarms 1 through 32, respectively.
As mentioned above, outputs 1 through 16 can be used with a rela y card option (see note 1).
