Outputs
All outputs always provide the non-inverted and the inverted signals, even when on the input
side the inverted signals are not available. All common GND lines of the outputs are connected
among each other, and also to the minus pole of the unit’s power supply.
When the terminal marked „Level“ is unconnected, the output level on the corresponding
terminal strip is always approx. 5 volts. When you apply any remote DC voltage higher than
5.5 volts to the “Level” terminal, this voltage will determine the output swing of the impulses.
Each of the 8 outputs can be connected to any individual voltage from 5.5 to 30 volts, allowing
individual level assignment to any of the 8 outputs.
Output terminal strip:
All output connectors use the same connector codification and may be interchanged among
each other, since the electrical circuit of all 8 channels is the same and only the voltage applied
to the “Level” terminal of the mating connector determines the output level.

Cascading of Several Units and Encoder Select Function
The unit can be cascaded very easily to n x 8 output channels, without loss of outputs. To do
this, pins 1, 3, 5 and 7 of the cascading output must be connected to the corresponding pins of
the cascading input of the follower unit.
An appropriate ribbon cable connection is available under motrona part # FK470
