3| Alarm I/O| Includes alarm signal input and output ports. For detailed information, see Table 1-2.
4| Audio input| Connects to the sound-pick-up device to receive the audio signal.
5| Audio output| Connects to the speaker to output audio signal.

Table 1-2 Alarm information

Connecting Alarm Input/output

Alarm input/output is available on select models.

• Step 1
  • Connect the alarm input device to the alarm input end of the I/O port.
  • The device collects different states of alarm input port when the input signal is idling and being grounded.
  • The device collects logic “1” when the input signal is connecting to +3 V to +5 V or idling.
  • The device collects logic “0” when an input signal is grounded.
• Step 2
  • Connect the alarm output device to the alarm output end of the I/O port. The alarm output is open-drain output, which works in the following modes.
  • Mode A: Level application. The alarm outputs high and low levels, and the alarm outlet is OD, which requires external pull-up resistance (10 K Ohm typical) to work. The maximum external pull-up level is 12 V, the maximum port current is 300 mA and the default output signal is high level (external pull-up voltage). The default output signal switches to a low level when there is alarm output (As long as the operating current is below 300 mA, the output low-level voltage is lower than 0.8 V).
  • Mode B: Switch application. The alarm output is used to drive the external circuit, the maximum voltage is 12 V and the maximum current is 300 mA. If the voltage is higher than 12 V, please use an additional electric relay
• Step 3
  • Log in webpage, and configure alarm input and alarm output in the alarm setting.
  • The alarm input in the webpage corresponds to the alarm input end of the I/O port.
  • There will be high-level and low-level alarm signals generated by the alarm input device when an alarm occurs, set the input mode to “NO” (default) if the alarm input signal is logic “0” and to “NC” if the alarm input signal is logic “1”.
  • The alarm output in the webpage corresponds to the alarm output end of the device, which is also the alarm output end of the I/O port.
