The DIO-104.REL is a PC/104 form factor adapter that provides 16 reed relays that
can switch power, data or other electronic signals for control applications.
The DIO-104.REL is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems
including Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP and DOS. The SeaI/O API (Application
Programmer Interface) included on CD with the DIO-104.REL provides a variety of
useful high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic link library
(DLL). In addition to the API, SeaI/O includes sample code and utilities to simplify
software development.
The DIO-104.REL is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is
missing or damaged please contact Sealevel for replacement.

40-Pin IDC to DB-37 Male 6” Ribbon Cable (Part Number CA110)
− For compatibility with other Sealevel digital I/O devices, the CA110
connects to the 40-pin header connector on the DIO-104.REL and
provides a DB-37 Male connector.
DB-37 Male to DB-37 Female 6’ Cable - (Part Number CA112)
− This cable extends the DB-37 connector on the 6” ribbon cable, part
number CA110, to six feet and is pinned one-to-one.
) or by calling
DB-37 Male/Female Terminal Block (Part Number TB02-KT)
− Break out serial and digital connectors to 37 screw terminals for easy
field connection. The TB02 terminal block is designed with both DB37 male and female connectors, therefore; it can be used with any
DB-37 board regardless of the board's port gender.
Cable and Terminal Block Kit (Part Number KT101)
− For convenient and easier ordering, the KT101 includes the TB02-KT
The DIO-104.REL contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for
proper operation.
The DIO-104.REL occupies 4 consecutive I/O locations. The DIP-switch (S1) is
used to set the base address for these locations. Be careful when selecting the base
address as some selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table
shows several examples that usually do not cause a conflict. To maintain
compatibility with other Sealevel Systems I/O adapters, the actual port addresses are
found at BaseAddress+2 (Relays K1-K8) and BaseAddress+3 (Relays K9-K16).

The following illustration shows the correlation between the DIP-switch setting and
the address bits used to determine the base address. In the example below, address
300 is selected as the base address. Address 300 in binary is XX 11 0000 00XX
where X = a non-selectable address bit.

Note: Setting the switch ‘On’ or ‘Closed’ corresponds to a ‘0’ in the address, while
leaving it ‘Off’ or ‘Open’ corresponds to a ‘1’.

location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information presented on the screens
that follow. During setup the user may specify installation directories and
other preferred configurations. This program also adds entries to the system
registry that are necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each
driver. An uninstall option is also available to remove SeaIO files and
registry/INI file entries from the system.
7. If installing in NT, skip to ‘Windows NT Card Installation’ step 16.
8. Go to the “Add New Hardware Wizard” in the Control Panel.
9. When the Wizard asks if you want Windows to search for the new

Manager (if, for instance, you need to change the I/O port address Windows
assigned when you installed the card).
15. Windows software installation is complete
16. Windows NT Card Installation: After accomplishing steps 1 – 6, bring up
the Control Panel and double-click on the SeaIO Devices icon. To install a
new card, click “Add Port”. Repeat this procedure for as many SeaIO cards
as you wish to install.
