SRC-16 Plus Installation and Operation Manual
INSPECTION
Relay Outputs:
Each of the sixteen relays is supplied with SPDT (form C) dry contacts that are
jumper selectable for either normally open (N.O) or normally closed (N.C) opera-
tion. They are set to normally open from the factory. The sixteen green output LEDs
on the front panel indicate which relays are active. External equipment to be con-
trolled should be connected to the terminals labeled K1, K1-K16,K16.
 NOTE: If mechanical latching relays are required, we suggest the Broadcast Tools
LR-5 or LR-5 Plus (4PDT & SPST) mechanical latching relay.

Expansion Ports
Used to connect multiple SRC-16 Pluses using the included red Cat5 patch cable.
RS-232 Serial Connection
The RS-232 serial connection is made to the male DB-9 connector on the back of
the SRC-16 Plus. The headers labeled “RS-232” “NNRR” on the SRC’s printed cir-
cuit board adjacent to the RS-232 DB-9 connector can be used to reverse the RS-232
transmit and receive pins on the DB-9. The factory setting is the “NN” position
where pin 5 = ground, pin 2 = transmit and pin 3 = receive. In the “RR” position pin
5 = ground, pin 2 = receive, pin 3 = transmit.
Note: An optional USB to RS-232 adapter cable may be required if your PC isn’t
equipped with a RS-232 COM port. The default protocol is as follows: 9600, N, 8, 1
RS-422/485 Serial Connection
In some cases it’s necessary to use RS-422/485 serial interfaces instead of RS-232.
This can be enabled via jumper settings on the SRC’s printed circuit board. RS-
422/485 serial cable connections must be made to the R-/R+ and T-/T+ connections
on the TB2 terminal blocks. Please limit cable lengths to under 4000 feet.
