7 CONNECT AUXILIARIES
The SCU provides three auxiliary (AUX) outputs for controlling VCRs and other devices.
These outputs can be activated directly from a keyboard by using the F1, F2, and F3 func-
tion keys, or they can be activated by an alarm (determined by programming). Both relay
contacts and TTL outputs are used.
a. AUX 1 is a dry contact relay output. Refer to Figure 15 for wiring details. Terminal
connections are provided for both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.)
contacts. Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for the relay contacts. You will
need to provide an external power source to operate your device. In most cases you
will also need an external current limiting resistor. The formula for calculating the resis-
tor value is given in Figure 15.
b. AUX 2 and 3 are TTL open collector outputs. These outputs provide a path to ground
to control the low voltage trigger inputs on many devices. They can control higher volt-
age control inputs via isolation relays. Refer to Figure 16 for wiring details. Do not ex-
ceed the voltage and current ratings for the TTL outputs. An external pull-up resistor is
usually necessary. The formula for calculating the resistor value is given in Figure 16.
