Circuit Descriptions

When the power is supplied to MICOM, the reset
circuit initializes RAM and other sectors of MICOM.
A reset voltage maintains “low” for hundreds of µsec
comparing to MICOM Vcc voltage when the power is
in. It also maintains “high”(5V) during normal
operation. But, when Vcc drops to 3.4V-3.7V, a reset
port becomes “low”.

1) If a door is open, the door S/W contact is closed. Then MICOM receives “low” signal and

detects door open, A relay control circuit receives “HIGH” signal and turn Lamp on.

2) If a door is closed, the door S/W contact is open. Then MICOM receives “high” signal and

detects door close, A relay control circuit receives “LOW” signal and turn Lamp off.
