Installation Guide
STE-6014/6017/6018
Connecting any of these models to a controller
requires a special cable with (on the sensor end) an
RJ-45 connector and (on the controller end) an RJ-11
connector with an additional three wires (as relevant
to the model) for controller inputs. Purchasing
preassembled cables from KMC is more
cost-
effective
and
reliable
than creating custom cables in
the field. Use one of the following cables:

The three additional wire connections are:

input to the controller
Orange/white
•
is the
setpoint
signal input to the
controller
Green
•
is the auxiliary
supply voltage
of 10 VDC
to the STE-6018 LED (for the STE-6014/6017, clip
or tape the unused wire)

At the bottom of the STE-6014/6017/6018 case is
an EIA-485 (formerly RS-485) computer port. This
port provides a temporary connection to the digital
network for network setup or troubleshooting.
To use the port to connect to a computer, a means of
converting the EIA-485 signal to a USB or EIA-232
(formerly RS-232) signal will be needed. The exact
connection depends on the computer and the opera-
tor workstation software. (See also the instructions
included with those devices and software.)
For
•
USB
(to WinControl or BACstage), use a
KMD-5576 USB Communicator (see the illustra-
tion above).
For
•
EIA-232 to BACstage
, use a third-party
interface.
For
•
EIA-232 to WinControl
, use a KMD-5559
CommTalk and KMD-5624 cable (or equivalent
interface).
To access the network through the STE’s sensor:
1. Connect the keyed, flat end of the KMD-5624
interface cable (included with the KMD-5576 but
not the KMD-5559) to the port on the sensor.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the interface
device that converts the EIA-485 signal into an
EIA-232 or USB signal.
3. Connect the suitable cable from the interface
device to the computer’s serial or USB port. Install
any required software and configure the port as
necessary.
