Chapter 2: Overview 2.4 ServSensor with 20 or 60 Extra Dry Contact Inputs, VAC, or VDC The 20 or 60 extra dry contact inputs on the ServSensor can be configured as inputs only up to 5 Volts in normal operation. In opto-isolation mode they can input up to 30 Volts DC. This will protect these inputs and the unit from high voltages and spikes. Opto-isolators provide complete electrical separation between the ServSensor and the dry contact. The base units are therefore protected against possible l
