Any voltage that lies between 4.1 to 7.9 V can give ambiguous results and must be avoided.
See Figure 16.

When used as a digital input, the universal input can measure frequencies up to 10 Hz (600
pulses per minute). The minimum pulse width detectable is 50 milliseconds.
Dry contact, push buttons, magnetic reed switches or PNP transistors must supply voltage to
the digital input for correct operation.
To use the universal input as a digital input
1. Connect the appropriate digital signal to the universal input according to the diagrams
below.
2. Configure the digital input type and then calibrate using the OpenBAS software.
Table 6 shows how to connect a device to the digital input.
