HowardShank Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Is the PIR Motion Detector compatible for use with the DIO32 as a trigger device?If yes, would it require a separate power source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I believe you can use the motion dector...at least I hope so because I plan on it.You can take a look at t his document for wiring, but do note that it is showing how to wire to the CTB-08D and 16D. My thinking is you would probably have to apply a power supply only because there is only a two pin header on the DIO32. Someone a little smarter then me would probably be able to answer it better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardShank Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm sure it will work as a trigger, just looks like it needs an external 9v power source for each of the PIR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardShank Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dan / LOR Staff,Would it be possible to get an updated UseMotionDetector.PDF that shows how to wire a PIR Motion detector directly to a DIO32 board?Also please explain how to wire one or more motion detectors to the DIO16IOD 16 channel connection board? Also show any required jumper settings for power, etc.Thanks!Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know how it works and understand the whole thing.Thanks Jeff!!Dan...Also can you tell us the dimensions of the board? I want to order a case for it as well but don't know what size to get. Will it fit into a PC box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
