The E-opto16 dry contact expansion modules can only be used as inputs, just like the extra dry contact inputs on the secuirtyProbe8-X20. Yes, the opto? in the product name means these inputs come pre configured as opto isolated, meaning this provides protection to the module for over voltages and allows up to 50VDC to be applied to these inputs.

Case Study: Geoazur Earthquake Monitoring Sites
Geoazur operate a network of seismic monitoring stations. These are connected with Tsunami early warning systems. The stations consist of a cabinet housing the instruments and monitoring devices, and a second cabinet with backup battery power systems.
AKCP sensorProbe2 devices were installed at multiple sites, monitoring the AC Voltage main line power status, as well as the battery voltages. This allows for early warning when power is off, and the site is running on backup battery power. It also allows for montoring of the battery voltage and warnnig when batteries may be disconnected, in bad health or low voltage and not charging properly.
