6. Control Wiring Terminations
6.1. RS-232 Connections
The RS-232 control port located in the lower right corner on the rear of the unit is used to communicate with the matrix
via a computer or 3rd party control system.
Wiring for this port follows the Savant standard where pin 5 is RXD (Receive), pin 6 is TXD (Transmit), and pin 4 is GND
(Ground). The diagram below shows the wiring for the Savant side, the opposite side pins will vary based on the device
being connected to.
IMPORTANT!
When using an RJ45 to DB9 adapter, the cable from the adapter to the SmartAudio should be a
straight through cable. Any required crossover should be achieved by using a Null adapter.
6.1.1. RJ45 to DB9 Adapters
Savant uses RJ45 connectors for RS-232, other manufacturers control systems may use the standard DB9. To make
connection easy, Savant offers RJ45 to DB9 adapters in a variety of configurations that can be used to connect to
SmartAudio for RS-232 control. Be sure and choose the adapter that provides a proper connection to the control
systems RS-232 port. Refer to the manufacturers support for the control systems configuration.
For more information on Savant RJ45 to DB9 adapters, see App Note RS-232 Conversion to DB-9 and RS-422/485
Serial Communication Pinout on dealers.SavantSystems.com.
IMPORTANT!
If you are using RJ-45 to DB-9 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
