expansion modules and serial adapters are not recommended for use with the ProtEX-MAX. It is
recommended that any serial protocol conversion required on the RS-485 communications connection be
performed using a PDA7485 RS-232 to RS-485 or PDA8485 USB to RS-485 serial converter located in a
safe area.
F4 Digital Input Connections
A digital input, F4, is standard on the scanner. This digital input connected with a normally open closure
across F4 and COM, or with an active low signal applied to F4.

Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labeled RELAY1
– RELAY4 on the back of the
scanner. Each relay’s C terminal is common only to the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC)
contacts of the corresponding relay. The relays’ C terminals should not be confused with the COM
(common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.
