Acquisition Triggering
The acquisition trigger input on the reader is opto-isolated. To trigger
from an NPN (pull-down) type photo-detector or PLC output, connect
Common In to +24V and connect In to the output of the detector.
When the output turns on, it pulls In down to 0V, turning the opto-
coupler on.
To trigger from an PNP (pull-up) photo-detector or PLC output, connect
In 0 to the output of the detector and connect Common In to 0V.
When the output turns on, it pulls In 0 up to 24V, turning the opto-
coupler ON.
