RJ45 Expansion Connector

WARNING! 

CONNECTING A POE TO THIS PLUG WILL 

DAMAGE YOUR Q5 AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY! 

Note: The I2C, UART and IO 
pins are not accessible via 
the Q5 software at this time. 
Customers that need access 
to one of these interfaces 
should contact FlexSCADA. 

Memory Expansion

The Q5's internal memory allows for roughly 1 month* of readings 
to be stored before older data is erased. In applications where 
extensive long term data-logging is required the Q5 may be 
outfitted with an external memory card for additional capacity. 
For more info on how to use this feature please contact 
FlexSCADA.
*Actual duration depends on measurement interval and number of 
metrics being logged.
