Remote Control Interface (J6)
The operator can use either a PC or the optional CPI Remote Control Unit connected to J6
(“REMOTE”) to remotely monitor and control the amplifier. J6 is a 10-pin MS type connector, ITT
Canon KPT07E12-10S. (A mating connector is supplied in the ship kit.) The PC can use either RS-
232 or RS-422/485 communication standards, while the CPI Remote Control Panel uses only RS-
422.
Default settings are as follows: STX/ETX protocol, 9600 baud rate, even parity, seven (7) data bits,
with one (1) start bit and one (1) stop bit. The operator may change these settings. Refer to
Drawings (chapter 7) for the Computer interface protocol document.
Interconnect cables should be wired for either RS-232 or RS-422/485, but not both. A cable
assembly similar to CPI drawing
01032322
(see Chapter 7) should be used for RS-422/485
communication. A wiring diagram for a cable using RS-232 is shown in Figure 2-2.
