4.3 Communications
Two pairs of fibre optic ST
TM
(BFOC/2.5) bayonet connectors (COM1 and COM2 rear), each made up of a
transmitter and receiver), optimised for glass-fibre, are fitted to the rear of the case. (Refer to section 4 –
Communications Interface).
25 Pin RS232 D Type connector on front of relay (COM2 front) accessible with front cover removed. Note this
shares COM2 with COM2 Rear.
5 Ancillary Equipment
The relay can be interrogated locally or remotely by making connection to the fibre optic terminals on the rear of
the relay or the RS232 port on the relay fascia. For local interrogation a portable PC is required. The PC must be
capable of running Microsoft Windows Ver 3.1 or greater, and it must have a standard RS232 port. A standard
data cable is required to connect from the PC to the 25 pin female D type connector on the front of the relay. For
remote communications more specialised equipment is required. See the section on Communications for further
information, and also see Report No. 690/0/01 on Relay Communications.
6 Precautions
When running fibre optic cable, the bending radius must not be more than 50mm.
If the fibre optic cables are anchored using cable ties, these ties must be hand tightened – under no
circumstances should cable tie tension tools or cable tie pliers be used.
