Construction 16. IC’s. Watch the position of the notch! PIN 1 IC1 : TLV274IN IC2 : ULN2803 IC3 : VK8055 Programmed PIC16C745-IP ! SK8 : 5 x 3P IC4 : ULN2803 17. GAIN FACTOR When the input voltage is too low you can amplify it x4 / x15. A gain of x4 requires a resistance of 3K3 for R8 (input signal 1) and for R9 (input signal 2).
Connections / settings 5 digital inputs (e.g. push button, switch, relay contact, ...). Input is generally "high" (1), connection to GND makes the input "low" (0) Analogue inputs (e.g. temperature sensor, potentiometer, ...) If the jumper is mounted, then you can use the internal voltage and adjust it using RV2/RV1.

Test procedure You can now simulate the inputs via push buttons Inp1 through Inp5. The matching check box remains ticked off as long as you keep one of the push buttons pressed down. Always tick off the check box for the matching output if you wish to test a digital output.
