  • Page 20 The optically isolated digital inputs featured on the 170 are designed unlike the opto-inputs found on many other Sealevel products. The 170 provides a voltage to the opto input, which is current limited with a 330 ohm resistor. Connecting either of the inputs to a common pin will cause current to flow through the opto- isolator, activating the input.
