3. Note the correlation between how the inputs are depicted on the
board, as opposed to how they are addressed in the Option-X
Software:
4. To connect an input, simply attach one leg of the two wires of the
input to the Gnd and the other to the appropriate input. Note that
the inputs and outputs on the Option-4 board are completely
independent, which simply means that any input can serve any
purpose. For instance, Input 7 (Connector P16, Input C3) could be
used to energize Relay 1 and Relay 1 could, in turn be used to
unlock the door that is presently connected to Reader 2.
E. Connecting the Outputs
1. The Option-4 circuit board has four (4) connectors for Outputs;
outputs are used to control the lock status of doors. The outputs
can also be used to lock and unlock doors on a scheduled basis
(See the Option-X Software Manual for more detail on this).
2. The relay outputs are most commonly used to control door locks.
The Option-4 board contains two (2) relay outputs and two (2)
transistor outputs. It is strongly recommended that you study the
connections used with the transistor outputs (in Appendix A) if you
are not familiar with transistor-type outputs. Note the correlation
between how the inputs are depicted on the board, as opposed to
how they are addressed in the Option-X software:
