Communications Installation 
The following information is provided 
if 
you will be using a remote 
device 
to 
se
lect active memory and/or lock out input through the PC40 
user interface. 
Remote connections are made to 
PC40 terminal block 
P1 
(Figure 3.9). 
Signals connected to 
P1 
are optically isolated from the remote system. 
The opto-isolators can be turned 
on 
by either current sourcing 
or 
current sinking devices.

For sourcing 
(PNP) devices, P1-3 should 
be connected to 
P1-2 ("Ground"). For 
sinking 
(NPN) devices, P1-3 should be 
connected 
to 
P1-8 ("+12V"). 
Maximum current available from pin
