POD7 is a control interface module designed for use where isolation is required between console logic level outputs and the controls of external devices, such as CD players, ON AIR lights, etc.The unit provides eight inputs (logic level or opto-couple) which can be mapped to ten open collector outputs and/or four form C relays. POD7 also includes a small, switchable amplifier capable of driving a 2W, 8 Ohm speaker.

Mapping of the input controls to outputs in POD7 is achieved in software. In the standard software configuration the controls are mapped as follows:
• Inputs 1 through 4 activate open collector outputs 1 to 4 as well as relays 1 to 4, respectively
• Inputs 5 through 8 activate open collector outputs 5 to 8, respectively
• Audio enable control input, when grounded, enables the audio amplifier
• Open collector output 10 is active when audio is disabled
• Open collector output 9 toggles at 2Hz from inactive to active when audio is enabled, and is inactive when audio is disabled

Logic inputs require a closure to ground, while opto-coupled inputs require a properly polarized voltage ranging from 3 to 28 Volts.

Factory options for POD7 include custom mapping of input control to outputs and RS422/485 serial control. Please consult the factory to address your special needs.
