SEL-251, -2, -3 Instruction Manual
The serial data format is:
Eight data bits
Two stop bits (-E2 model) or one stop bit (-E1 model)
No parity
This format may not be changed.
Figure 3.1 shows the pin number convention for the EIA-232 data ports.

Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 list port pin assignments and signal definitions for the conventional
terminal block model and the plug-in connector model, respectively.

N/C
+12 Vdc available if JMP13 installed
5
GND
GND

7
RTS
RTS
The relay asserts this line under normal conditions.
When its received-data buffer is full, the line is deas-
serted, and asserts again when the buffer has sufficient
room to receive more data. Connected devices should
monitor RTS (usually with their CTS input) and stop
transmission whenever the line deasserts. If transmis-
sion continues, data may be lost.
8
CTS
CTS
The relay monitors CTS, and transmits characters only
if CTS is asserted.
9
GND
GND
Ground for ground wires and shields
