    Figure 1 - Outline Drawing of the ALR-9650 I/O Port Terminal Interface The ALR-9650 I/O port provides two digital inputs, two digital outputs and a ground return. The design provides protection against momentary over and reverse voltage application to the inputs or outputs and short circuit of the outputs.
  • Page 11 PERATION Unlike the Alien Enterprise Readers (ALR-9800 and ALR-9900) the ALR-9650 I/O’s are not optically isolated. Instead they are buffered internally. As a result the outputs can source up to 20 mA’s without the external supply required for the Enterprise Readers. Outputs should be protected from transients such as inductive kickback so as to not exceed the absolute maximum voltage allowed at the outputs.
