SP2+ Introduction Manual

 

- 4 -

 

 

Port assignment information for SP2+ units 

 

 

 
Port numbering starts from the power connector on the unit: the closest port to the power connector is 
Port 1 and closest to the Ethernet interface is Port 4. 
You may connect AKCP intelligent sensors to any available ports. 
 

Important note:

 If you're using analog pins on the sensor ports (with manually on-lined DCV sensors, 

and pin 7 of the RJ45 connector) make sure that the 

voltage doesn't exceed 3 Volts

. Otherwise you 

can damage the unit!
