Digital Inputs
The Input / Output (I/O) board is fitted with a number of configurable digital inputs (DI) which
can monitor external voltage-free relay contacts or switches. See Input / Output Board on page 3
for details.
► To configure a digital input

The number of digital inputs available for user digital inputs depends on the IO Board version.
Refer to the I/O Board (IOBGP-xx) Connector Pin-outs on page 138 for IO Board input numbers.
If additional I/O boards and/or SiteSure-3G modules are connected, there will be more
configurable Digital Inputs. See details in the dc power system Installation and Operation Guide.
Some digital inputs are normally configured as Digital System States (see details on page 88).
Only use these inputs if you do need need to use them as Digital System State Inputs.
