Wiring and Connections Input/Output (I/O) Port: Connections and Wiring The I/O port responds to either switch closures, voltage level (high/low) changes, or it can be used for logic-level outputs. A contact closure between the GND and an I/O port is detected as a Push. When used for voltage inputs, the I/O port detects a low signal (0 - 1.5 VDC) as a Push, and a high signal (3.5 - 5 VDC) as a Release (this IO port uses 5V logic but can handle up to 12V without harm). When used for outputs
