UCERB 08 User's Guide Functional Details
External power connectors
The UCERB 08 has two external power connectors labeled POWER IN and POWER OUT on the
enclosure. The POWER IN connector is labeled PWR IN on the board, and the POWER OUT connector is
labeled
PWR OUT on the board.
Connect the POWER IN connector to the supplied +9 V external power supply. External power is
required to operate the UCERB 08. The POWER OUT connector lets you power additional daisy
chained CyberResearch USB DIO products from a single external power supply. Depending on your load
requirements, daisy chained products may require a separate power supply. Refer to "Power limitations
using multiple UCERB 08 devices" on page 3-4 for more information.
USB LED
The USB LED indicates the communication status of the UCERB 08. It uses up to 5 mA of current and
cannot be disabled. Ta explains the USB LED function. ble 3-2

Indication
Steady green The UCERB 08 is connected to a computer or external USB hub.
Pulsing green
Initial communication is established between the UCERB 08 and the computer, or data is
being transferred.
PWR LED
The UCERB 08 incorporates an on-board voltage supervisory circuit that monitors the external 9 V
power. If the input voltage falls outside of the specified range, the PWR LED shuts off.

Indication
Steady green External power is supplied to the UCERB 08.
Off
Power is not supplied by the external supply, or a power fault has occurred. A power fault
occurs when the input power falls outside of the specified voltage range of the external supply
(6.0 V to 12.5 V).
Invert/Non-invert switch (S1)
The Invert/non-invert switch (S1) sets the relay control logic per relay bank to either inverted or non-
inverted. By default, switch S1 is configured for non-invert (see ). Figure 2-3

Figure 3-2. Switch S1 default configuration
The switch labeled CL configures relays 1 through 4, the switch labeled CH configures relays 5 through 8.
NON-INVERT: when "0" is written or read back via the USB bus, the relays are not energized.
INVERT: when "0" is written or read back via the USB bus, the relays are energized.
Switch settings do not affect the power-on condition. Use InstaCal to read the current logic setting for
each module group.
