CNI2 Operating and Installation Guide

USING THE OUTPUT

The output line can be configured to replicate (follow) any of the input lines. This allows other
pulse-counting or alarm-sensing equipment to have access to the same signals. For instance
the CNI2 may be counting pulses on Line-2 and another piece of equipment located nearby may
need to count these pulses too.
There are some limitations that you should be aware of. The processor samples each input line
at a rate defined by the SAMPLE RATE. It then sets the output line to the same state with each
pass. Input signals that change faster than the sample rate may not be accurately reproduced
as illustrated here.

Also, when an input signal changes state there could be a delay of up to one sample period
before the output matches that state, as illustrated here.
