Pins 2-5 These indicate the current condition of the unit. A “1” corresponds to a
high level on the corresponding pin.
Pins 7-8 The two inputs on pins 7 and 8 select among the first three (of eight)
presets stored in the DP571. The inputs are normally high (internal pull-
up) and trigger a preset recall by sensing a momentary high-to-low
transition.
