TR-CL180 Lens Controller - User Manual

In operating environments where there is a high level of radiated electrical
noise, use a shielded cable for the trigger input as shown below:

9.4

Ethernet

The RJ45 connector fitted to the TR-CL180 requires a straight-through
cable to connect to a network switch, hub or router. The connection is
10Base-T and operates at 10MBits per second.

9.5

RS232

The RS232 connection fitted to the TR-CL180 is a standard female 9-way
DSUB connector. The pin connections are as follows:
