Connecting to an Open-Collector Output Circuit
Alarm code signals are output from open-collector transistor output circuits.
Connect an open-collector output circuit through a photocoupler, relay, or line receiver
circuit.
Note: The maximum allowable voltage and current capacities for open-collector circuits are:
•
Voltage: 30V
DC
•
Current: 20mA

•
Connecting to a Photocoupler Output Circuit
Photocoupler output circuits are used for servo alarm, servo ready, and other sequence
output signal circuits.
Connect a photocoupler output circuit through a relay or line receiver circuit.
Note: The maximum allowable capacities for photocoupler output circuits are:
•
Voltage: 30V
DC
•
Current: 50mA
