Connecting the Remote Outputs
The Accela PDA Detector has two remote outputs: READY and EVENT (see
on
). The outputs are open collectors and are each capable of sinking < 30 mA at
30 V dc, suitable for connecting to TTL and other families of ICs. In addition, there is a 5 V
output that su5 V dc at 150 mA maximum that you can use for testing digital input
signals. When connecting to TTL inputs, a pull-up resistor (typically 10 k
Ω
) is required
across the +5 V output and the open collector input connection if one is not built into the
external device.
The polarity settings (active high or active low) of these outputs must match those of the
inputs of connecting equipment.
