Remote Inputs and Outputs
The 15-way ‘D’ type socket connector presents 8 active low inputs and 6 open collector
outputs which can be programmed to your requirements. The inputs are used to remotely
activate a pre-assigned function andthe outputs provide an indication that a pre-assigned
state is currently active (see System Menu: Remotes).
The remote outputs 1-6 can also be optionally be made to follow the inputs 1-6 with the
current programme delay inserted between actuation on the input and actuation on the
output. This can be useful for timed events that need to account for the delay built up by the
RB-PD2.
It has the following connections:
Pin 1: Active low input 1
Pin 2: Active low input 2
Pin 3: Active low input 3
Pin 4: Active low input 4
Pin 5: Active low input 5
Pin 6: Active low input 6
