The 8004ec is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Sealevel for replacement. • 8004ec - DIO-32.PCIe Digital I/O Adapter 8004ec – Board with SMT resistors - 3-30V inputs 8004Hec – Board with Socketed resistors – User Configurable Input Range (default 3-30V) •...
Introduction Overview The DIO-32.PCIe digital I/O interface provides 16 optically isolated inputs and 16 reed relay SPST (single pole-single throw) outputs. The inputs protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the outputs provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures.
7. The software is now installed, and you can proceed with the hardware installation. To install Sealevel software, you must log in as an administrator or have administrator privileges in Windows. All Sealevel Systems software drivers have been fully tested by Sealevel. Clicking “OK”...
Physical Installation The Sealevel DIO-32.PCIe can be installed in any PCIe expansion slot (x1/x4/x16). PCI Express x1 Do not install the adapter in the machine until the product software has been fully installed. To prevent damage from improper handling, please reference Appendix B –...
Hardware Installation The DIO-32.PCIe does not need to be configured prior to installation. Once you have installed the SeaI/O Classic software, install the board into an available PCI Express slot and boot the computer. The Found New Hardware wizard will appear. The drivers that were installed during the software installation process will automatically be used to configure the adapter.
Programming the DIO-32.PCIe Sealevel’s SeaI/O Classic software is provided to assist in the development of reliable applications for the Sealevel Systems family of PCI and PCI Express digital I/O adapters. Included in Sealevel’s software are driver functions for use in accessing the I/O as well as helpful samples and utilities.

Input Current = ((input voltage)-1.2V) / (resistor value) Increasing the input resistor accordingly can increase the turn-on voltage. Because socketed DIP resistors are utilized, they can easily be replaced with a different value. Sealevel can do this, if necessary. The input circuits are not intended for monitoring 120-volt AC circuits. In addition to being too high a voltage for the circuits, it is dangerous to have that high a voltage on the card.

The relay ports return the ones complement of the value that is currently being used to drive the relays. Writing the Outputs The output ports are the only ports that can be written. The relays on a standard DIO-32.PCIe are normally open. To close a relay one must be written to the appropriate bit.
