(typically grounded through GPI contacts,
TTL/HCMOS level drive also suitable)
Input Resistance when pulled
to ground (GPI output activated): .............. 5kΩ ±1%
Output Contact Pairs (Pins 13&14)
Contact Format: ................................................ 1 Form A (non-activated condition)
Contact Resistance: .......................................... 100mΩ
Switching Voltage: ........................................... 125Vac, 110Vdc maximum
Contact Rating: .................................................. 2A @ 30Vdc,
0.3A @ 125Vac (resistive load)
Maximum Toggle Rate: ................................... ≈5Hz
Breakdown Voltage:
Between Open Contacts: ......................... 750Vrms for 1minute
Between Contact and Coil: ...................... 1500Vrms for 1 minute
Format Bias Output (Pin 10 on the DB-26 HD Data I/O connector):
Output Voltage: ................................................. 5Vdc ±5%
Output Current Limit: ...................................... 300mAdc maximum
Note: Aside from providing a bias voltage for the data format options, the “Format Bias”
pin also provides a DC voltage source for low power loads that may be switched by the
GPI output contacts, such as LED’s for Tally use etc.
