3.2.2 Connecting Digital Outputs
To connect a digital output:
1. Turn OFF electrical power to the AC8.
2. If necessary, remove a conduit knockout to
permit wire entry into the AC8 enclosure.
3. Bring the wire(s) into the AC8 enclosure
through a conduit knockout or access slot.
4. Loosen the appropriate screw and slip the
stripped end of the wire into the terminal
block.
5. Tighten the screw until it holds the wire
snugly.
3.2.3 Setting the Digital Output Jumpers
Each digital output has an associated jumper to define its operation when power is interrupted and
there is no battery backup to the board. This puts the AC8 in a fail-safe mode and ensures proper
functioning when the board has no power or battery backup.
The AC8 comes from the factory with all digital output jumpers in the OFF position (Normally Open).
The jumper setting for each digital output can be changed to ON (Normally Closed). The settings are
shown in Table 5.
To change the output jumper setting:
1. Find the respective black output jumper on
the circuit board, shown in the illustration,
using the following guide.
2. Decide whether your configuration requires
the jumper to be OFF or ON.
3. Set the jumper as needed:
• Set the jumper to OFF by placing the black jumper on the middle and top pins.
• Set the jumper to ON by placing the black jumper on the middle and bottom pins.
!
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not interconnect the outputs
of different Class 2 circuits.
