QL300 / QL500 

Quick Link ID-NET™ Connectors 

 
 

DESCRIPTION 

 
The QL series ID-NET™ connectors provide a fast and efficient 
way to cable an ID-NET™ network using standard cables. The 
QL300/500s are typically Master ID-NET™ connectors designed 
to be used with the QL100/150/200s ID-NET™ Slave connectors. 
 
The QL300 is a passive connection module which can be used in 
Standalone or ID-NET™ Master Multidata, Slave Multidata or 
Master Synchronized layouts. It provides separate ports for 
Power Supply, External Trigger, Digital I/O and Communication. 
Host communication is provided through connectivity to the 
reader Main serial interface (RS232/485) or Aux RS232 serial 
interface. 
ID-NET™ network and power supply signals are sent out to the 
next connected device by means of a dedicated port, however 
input power is not received from the network. Therefore each 
QL300 must be powered separately. 
 
The QL500 is an active connection module which can be used in 
Standalone or ID-NET™ Master Multidata, or Master 
Synchronized layouts. It provides separate ports for Power 
Supply, External Trigger, Digital I/O and Communication. Host 
communication is provided through the integrated Ethernet 
module which connects internally to the reader's Main serial 
interface. Reader Aux RS232 serial interface is also provided. 
ID-NET™ network and power supply signals are sent out to the 
next connected device by means of a dedicated port, however 
there is no network input connector and therefore it cannot be 
used as an ID-NET™ Slave. 
 
The QL series are compatible with the following readers:

MOUNTING 

 
There are two self-threading screws provided for mounting the 
QLs to various wooden or plastic surfaces. Mounting to other 
surfaces such as concrete walls or metallic panels requires user-
supplied parts (screws, screw anchors, nuts, etc). Keep in mind 
that the connected reader must have its Chassis grounded to 
Earth, see paragraph "Grounding". 

QLs can also be mounted to a Bosch Frame using the BA200 
mounting accessory. 

The distance between mounting bushings is given in the overall 
dimension diagram for each QL. 

 

NOTE 

IP65 protection is provided when the cables (or 
QLs) are properly mated.

 

 
 

GROUNDING 

 
There are two general rules to follow regarding network 
grounding: 

1) The network Shield must only be connected to Earth 

ground at one point (the Master). 

 

When using isolated power supplies, Earth grounding can be 
accomplished through the CAB-PW-EXT accessory cable and 
the BA400 or QL300/500 Power connector.

2)  All reader Chassis must be connected to Earth ground. 

 

All the readers in the network must have their 

Chassis 

connected to Earth ground

 either by: mounting to 

conductive metal brackets or frames which are connected to 
Earth ground; or through the CBX or SC4000; or through the 
QL bushing. 

In the case of grounding through the CBX or SC4000, connect 
the Earth signal to a good earth ground and set the internal 
Chassis jumper to 

Earth

In the case of grounding through the QL bushing, connect a 
flying lead from the mounting bushing to an Earth ground. The 
mounting bushing is internally connected to the reader 
Chassis.

 pins 4 and 5 are nc for QL500. 

 

*

 pins 4, 5, 12 and 15 are nc for QL500. 

 

 

CAUTION 

Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) 
ground references. GND and SGND are internally 
connected through filtering circuitry which can be 
permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 
0.8 Vdc.
