RS-232 Connection
The serial RS-232 port is a standard 9-pin (DB9) female connector. A low-profile serial connector
is recommended to save room in the wiring box.
NOTE:
The RS-232 and EIA-485 ports share hardware. Both ports cannot be used simultaneously.
REMARQUE :
Les ports RS-232 et EIA-485 partagent le matériel. Ils ne peuvent pas être utilisés simultanément.
Ethernet Connection
The RJ-45 Ethernet jack features two (2) indicator LEDs for connection status and network
traffic. Use CAT-5 or CAT-5e twisted pair cable and RJ-45 plugs. If possible, pull the network
cable through conduit before crimping on the RJ-45 connectors. If using pre-assembled cables,
take care not to damage the plugs when the cables are pulled through conduit.
