SeaI/O User Manual
Power Options
Base Module Power Connection
Base modules are powered from a 9-30VDC source using either the DC jack or screw
terminals on the side of the unit. Sealevel offers several power supply choices to
make connection easy (see Accessories chapter at the end of this document).
SeaI/O Expansion Power Connection
Each SeaI/O product, including the expansion modules, contains an onboard
switching regulator power supply rated for 9-30VDC. For local installations (less
than 10’ apart), expansion unit power is usually supplied from the Base unit via the
pass-through connectors. The number of expansion modules that can be driven from
the Base unit depends on the power source and number/type of expansion units.
Refer to the chart below for power requirements. For expansion modules mounted
remotely (greater than 10’ apart), separate power is required at each expansion unit.

SeaI/O-520 5.0W 3.8W 3.5W 3.7W 3.5W
TTL Power Requirements
The SeaI/O-462 and SeaI/O-463 use 74ABT245 octal bi-directional transceivers to
provide TTL input/output capabilities and can sink 64mA and source 32mA. Each
bit is pulled to +5V through a 10K ohm pull-up resistor to insure each bit is at a
known state when not driven. The supply current and maximum output power are
shown below.
