# Channel inputs

The channel inputs can be used for request-to-exit (REX) buttons, door position sensors, or lock status sensors

* Configure input functions using Accessia Installer app
* The inputs should only be connected to isolated switch contacts – do not connect to a power supply
* Use a shielded cable and connect the shield to earth using the labeled earth post inside the enclosure
* For end-of-line monitoring, use 2.2 kOhm +/- 1% resistors at the switch (Figure 1)

For optimum DEOL monitoring performance, keep the inputs isolated from each other. If it cannot be avoided, the two inputs on the same channel can share a common terminal. In this case, wire the two inputs as shown in Figure 2

Adjacent to the input terminals is a switchable 12VDC power output for peripheral devices. This can be used for a touch-free REX button or a door-left-open alarm. Configure its function in Accessia installer app

The labeling on the Hub shows the correct pin out for all these connections
