Contact Closure to Supply (+ve going Input)
In this method a contact closure is not made to
ground, but to a local or remote supply, with a fused
connection to ground. This may be appropriate,
depending on the signal source.
Contact Closure to Positive Voltage Source
(+ve going Input)
As per Contact Closure to Supply, but to an
alternatively switched voltage source, such as a
suitable output from another piece of equipment.
For reliable operation in all examples it is recommended that the 0 V reference be taken back
to the 0 V of the equipment that supplies the +ve signal be it the local or a remote supply.

BMB01 Analogue Inputs
Analogue inputs 1 to 12 provide a contact input function via a non-isolated analogue interface with an
internal pull-up (4k7 ohms) to 5 V.
The contact input operates in two modes: 'non-monitored' and 'monitored'. Each contact is individually
selectable between these two modes.
Non-Monitored Contact
Simple contact closure.
