4.5  INPUTS 
There  are  two  optocoupled  polarity  insensitive  inputs  available  on  the  reader:  Input  1 
(External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input: 
The External Trigger can be used in One Shot Mode or in Phase Mode. Its main functions 
are: 
  acquisition trigger in One Shot Mode 
  reading phase-ON/reading phase-OFF command in Phase Mode 
The main functions of the general purpose Input 2 are: 
  second external trigger in Phase Mode 
  match code storage command when the Match Code option is enabled 
The electrical features of both inputs are: 
V
AB
 = 30 Vdc max. 
I
IN
 = 10 mA (reader) + 12 mA (CBX) max. 
The  active  state  of  these  inputs  are  selected  in  software.  Refer  to  the  VisiSet™  Help  On 
Line. 
An  anti-disturbance  filter  is  implemented  in  software  on  both  inputs  so  that  the  minimum 
pulse duration  is   0.5  milliseconds. This  value can be  increased through the  software 
parameter Debounce Filter, see the Digital I/O folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line for further 
details. 
These inputs are optocoupled and can be driven by both NPN and PNP type commands. 
NOTE 
Polarity insensitive inputs assure full functionality even if pins A and B are 
exchanged. 
The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

The yellow  Trigger LED  (Figure  20, 5)  is on  when the  active state  of the  External Trigger 
corresponds to ON.
