only by External Output Control page on page 104. Pin Features
G • GND pin
1 External Sensor Input 1
• Use it by opening or GND short-circuit.
G • GND pin
2 External Sensor Input 2
• Use it by opening or GND short-circuit.
3 External Device Control Output

Circuit Diagram Example
CAUTION
•The external I/O is not capable of connecting directly to devices that 
require large amounts of current. In some case, a custom interface 
circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to 
the camera may result if a device is connected to the external I/O that 
exceeds its electrical capability (see page 116).
•The low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are 
in the camera circuit. The qualified electrician should do the wiring 
not by yourself. Incorrect wiring could damage the camera. You 
could receive the fatal electric shock.
