The SCB18 provides 32 channels of opto-isolation for DC inputs, with input voltage range to the board -between 3V and 50V - being user-selectable by the inclusion of a series resistor. The board can be configured by switches to be active-high or active-low.

Isolation Voltage		Instantaneous Surge	Working
Input to Output Isolation	700V DC			350V DC
Channel to Channel Isolation	700V DC			350V DC

Each channel has a 270R resistor limiting the LED current, and the phototransistor collectors are pulled up by 4k7 resistor packs:
