The SL USBIO card is an interface of external sensors and external executive devices (relays) as a part of video surveillance and fire and security alarm systems.

The figures show the appearance of SL USBIO cards:

SL USBIO 4x4SL USBIO 16x8SL USBIO 24x4

                                                                    

The layout of SL USBIO connectors:

Connect the SL USBIO card to the Server as follows:  

  1. For each sensor configure the power supply by shifting the jumper in the corresponding J1 contact set.

     

    Sensor functions using the power supply in the device

    Sensor functions using the external power supply

    (polarity of external voltage is not important)

  2. Switch the computer power supply off. Remove the system cover.
  3. Install the SL USBIO card into a vacant motherboard slot and fix it in the casing.

  4. Connect the loop (bundled with the distribution kit) to the J5 connector and to a vacant USB connector on the motherboard of computer.

    Note

    There is a special adapter in the delivery package if the SL USBIO 4x4 card is in use and the motherboard has an outsized USB connector or there is no connector for a loop contact. If you do not have the adapter, it is required to acquire one or route the loop leads by yourself taking into account the connector layout on the motherboard and USB connector layout on the SL USBIO 4x4 card (see the figure below):

  5. To activate the hardware pending check, connect wires to the J2 J3 connector (see Connecting the hardware performance testing section).

    Note

    There is no J2 J3 connector on the SL USBIO 4x4 card.

    Use J4 port if the connection is to be performed via the external USB port (USB cable of A-A type) or the USB device is to be connected.

    Note

    There is no J4 port on the SL USBIO 4x4 card.

  6. To connect sensors and relays, unsolder the connector and fix it in the casing bundled with the distribution kit. Unsoldering is made in accordance with the external connector layout (see Appendix 5. Electrical and technical specifications of Sensor-Relay cards).
  7. Connect the ready-for-use connector to external connector of the SL USBIO card.

Note

When connecting a SL USBIO card, the operating system can automatically install drivers for it. If the drivers were not installed immediately after the card connection, they will be installed along with the Axxon PSIM installation. The drivers can also be installed manually from the Windows Device Manager − see Drivers for video capture cards, sensor/relay cards, Guardant and USB Watchdog integrated into Axxon PSIM.

After the cards are installed, they have the following names in the device manager:

SL USB IO 4x4SL USB IO 16x8SL USB IO 24x4
Stream Labs 4IOStream Labs 16I8OWDintStream Labs 24I4OWDint

The SL USBIO card is now connected.
