RS-422/RS-485 Wiring

RJ-45 to DB9 Adapters

Savant o

ers RJ-45 to DB9 adapters in a variety of configurations that 

can be used for RS-232/422/485 control. 
Refer to the 

RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout 

Application Note

 located on the 

Savant Community

 for more 

information on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters.

 

 

IMPORTANT!

 If you are using RJ-45 to DB9 adapters not supplied by 

Savant:

Ensure that any wires required for communication/control are 
terminated within the adapter.

Ensure that all wires NOT required for communication/control are 
NOT terminated in the connecter.

Ensure that the unused wires in the connector are cut to prevent 
them shorting out, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector 
on the controller side.

IR Wiring

IR connections are made using 6-pin Screw Down Plug-in Connectors 
supplied with the matrix.  The wire slips into the hole and locks with a 
screw located at the top of the connector.

 

 IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions

Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the 
controllers location.

Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not 
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away from 
the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.

Note:

While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6 follow 
the same wiring as 1 to 3.

GPIO Wiring

General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIO) are binary I/O ports used on 
Savant controllers to trigger an action within the system.  Events can 
control a device, such as turning on an amplifier (output) or detecting 
a state change for a device (input) to perform a workflow.  Pins 1-4 are 
used for input or output depending on configuration.

GPIO Pinout

Relay Wiring

Relay ports are used when a device is controlled via a normally open 
(NO) or normally closed (NC) relay.
