1.5 Pin Definition of Sensor/Relay/RS485 Port

The I/O card enables you to connect 8 sensor inputs and 4 relay outputs. Just connect the external sensor and relay pin directly to the I/O card pinhole. Check the table below and locate which pinhole is assigned to sensor input and relay output.

The signal from the sensor (i.e., infrared sensors, smoke detectors, proximity sensors, door sensors, etc.) is being transmitted to the I/O card and this triggers the system to respond and send signal to relay device (i.e., alarm, telephone etc.).

■ RS485 Pin definition

When connect PTZ camera through RS485 interface, please refer to the following pin definition to connect the NVR/DVR and PTZ.

Pin	NVR/DVR site	PTZ site
TX+	RS485 TX+ signal	RS485 RX+ signal
TX-	RS485 TX- signal	RS485 RX- signal
RX+	RS485 RX+ signal	RS485 TX+ signal
RX-	RS485 RX- signal	RS485 TX- signal

If user uses the 2 wires for the PTZ camera connection, please connect to the RS-485 TX+ and TX- of the NVR/DVR site.
