You connect the terminal block to the IF5 with a 25-pin GPIO cable (P/N 236-057-001). The block provides access to each of the four general purpose inputs and outputs on the IF5 via standard screw terminals.
About the Input, Output, and Power Terminal Connections The terminal block provides standard screw terminals that you use to connect industrial control wiring to the IF5 GPIO and power interfaces. The screw terminals are located inside the terminal block on the main circuit board and are arranged as shown in the next illustration.

7 Install the sleeve, split ring, and bushing on the strain relief connector body (finger tighten only). 8 Install the top cover. 9 Connect the 25-pin GPIO cable (P/N 236-057-001) to the terminal block serial port and to the Control Port connector on the IF5.
Using the Terminal Block This section explains how the terminal block connects to the IF5 GPIO interface and how you connect devices to the terminal block input, output, and power terminals. About the IF5 GPIO Interface The IF5 reader has four general purpose input and output interfaces.

Switching the High Side Using IF5 Power The GPIO Terminal Block is factory configured for high side switching, with power coming from the IF5. Only the single output being switched will be affected if the interface cable fails. This configuration supports many indicator lamp applications.

Switching the High Side With External Power Note: If the IF5 ground is not connected to the external power ground, the output terminal LED will behave unpredictably, but will light up if there is a sneak path in the chassis ground. GPIO Terminal Block User’s Guide...
