3.2.4 Serial Interface Cables & Accessories

Serial Connectivity is a one cable solution,you can use either part numbers 134364-SER or 134364-MDT

LMU Serial Cable (Part Number 134364-SER)

This is the standard serial cable used with most LMU products.

LMU

Serial Adapter

or

LMU Serial Cable (Part Number 134364-MDT-SER)

The 134364-MDT Serial Cable has the same features as the 134364 product listed above except the MDT serial cable has an extra feature that
allows power voltage adjustment.

NOTE

: CalAmp previously used the following serial cables. The following two cables are no longer in production. However, these legacy cables

are still compatible with LMU-5541

.

Part Number 134364-SER

has effectively

replaced

Part Number 133337-5

while

Part Number 134364-MDT

has replaced

Part Number 133564-1

. The description for the legacy cables

are listed below.

Serial Combo Adapter (Part Number 133337-5)

The Serial Combo Adapter is designed to allow laptops, and PDAs to communicate with the LMU-5541

via a direct serial connection. While

using this cable, the LMU-5541

will accept AT Commands and act as a

modem. No setup of the LMU-5541

is necessary to use this cable.

Serial Combo Adapter (Part Number 133564-1)

The Serial Combo Adapter is designed to allow laptops, MDTs, barcode readers and other devices to communicate with the LMU-5541

via a

direct serial connection. While using this cable, the LMU-5541

will accept

AT Commands and act as a modem. No setup of the LMU-5541

is necessary to use this cable. The 133564-1 also has switched power

capabilities which allow for power to the serial device to be regulated.
This cable will allow ‘dumb’ serial devices to use the LMU-5541

to pass data to/from a remote application. In general, when in MDT mode,

the LMU-5541

will package any data received over the serial port into a

‘User Message’ and send it to its inbound address. Any User Messages received from the remote application that have an appropriate Message
Type will be passed from the LMU-5541

to the dumb serial device. The setup

of this mode is controlled by S130 - 139 and is described in detail later in this document.

3.2.5 Accessories

See the Harness Diagrams page for more information on LMU accessories, and supported products table.
Do NOT connect multiple power supplies or multiple grounds to the LMU-5541 and JPod2. Connecting multiple power supplies or multiple
grounds may lead to excessive current draw through the LMU and JPod2.

3.4 RF Connector

LMU-5541™ uses an SMA connector with a 50 Ω impedance. 

3.5 I/O Descriptions

The LMU-5541

provides the following inputs and outputs (I/O):
