The 1218C External Input/Output Expansion Module is an accessory to the 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge. This
module provides an additional 6 digital inputs, and 6 relay outputs when connected to a 1218C Electronic Tank
Gauge
Failure to follow any or all of the warnings and instructions in this document could result in a hazardous
liquid spill, which could result in property damage, environmental contamination, re, explosion, serious
injury or death.
Le fait de ne pas se conformer à l’un ou l’autre des avertissements ou à l’une ou l’autre des directives
apparaissant dans ce document pourrait donner lieu à des déversements de liquides dangereux, lesquels
pourraient engendrer des dommages matériels, des risques de contamination environnementale,
d’incendie ou d’explosion, des blessures graves ou la mort.

Wiring
The 1218C External Input/Output Expansion Module (I/O Module) communicates with the 1218C Electronic
Tank Gauge (1218C) over an Ethernet connection. The I/O Module contains a 2-port Ethernet switch that
can be used to daisy chain the Ethernet connection to a network allowing both devices to be accessible from
the network. This is especially useful for new installations to reduce the amount of Ethernet cabling and/or
networking devices required to connect the I/O Module and 1218C to a computer or network.
Figure 1 shows the digital input and relay output connections of the Moxa E1214-T device contained within
theI/OModule.Uptosixdryorwetcontactdevices(seespecicationssection)canbeconnectedtothedigital
input channels (DI). The dry contact inputs must share a common ground connection (GND), and the wet contact
inputs must share a common source/return (COM). The proper connections for dry contact and wet contact
devices are illustrated in Figure 2 and Figures 3 and 4, respectively.

UptosixrelayoutputscanbeconnectedtoACorDCloads(seespecicationssection).TheI/OModuledoes
not provide power to the loads. The loads being driven must supply their own power. Figure 5 shows the proper
connection of a relay output to a power source and load.

The input power should be wired to the power supply connections labelled ‘L’, ‘N’, and Ground (symbol) in the
I/O Module as shown in Figure 6. A grounding stud is provided to tie all ground connections together.

IMPORTANT: To prevent premature failure of the relay contacts it is strongly recommended to use a fuse and
transient voltage suppressor (e.g. varistor, TVS diode). See Figure 5 for details.

verifying that the I/O Module is enabled and communicating properly with the 1218C. Open the status web page
and verify that the ‘External Inputs’ section does not show “DISABLED” or “COM ERROR”. Instead it should
display “NO ALARMS” or any active alarms if the sensors are connected and in the active state.
Next verify that each input is being detected by the 1218C by activating the input and verifying the External
