USB Port, Connector And Cable

 

The RXC-3000 communicates with a computer over a USB 2.0 port. The port's connection is a mini 
type B 5 pin USB receptacle. The maximum USB cable length is 16 feet. 

 

Belkin cable F3U138-0  “6 foot USB Type A to mini 5 pin Type B”.

The 5 character password locks out access to the sub menus.

 

Please refer to the Programming Guide 9000-0000-041 for more information

  

 

Restoring RXC-3000 to Default Programming

 

If during changes or setup, you need to return the RXC-3000 to a previous program, the RXC-3000 
holds the last program downloaded to the unit through the USB in its memory. 

 

Warning!!!  Restoring the running program to its original program sent with the unit will delete 
all previous changes to the running program. 

 

Please refer to the Programming Guide 9000-0000-041 for more information
