The EZT-430i touch screen provides an RS232C (COM1) user communications port for connecting EZT-430i
to a PC running software such as CSZ’s Envision. In order to connect EZT-430i to a PC, a cable must be
made according to the diagram below.
NOTE:
DO NOT use a standard null-modem cable to connect EZT-430i to a PC. Most computers do not
provide a standard serial port and a USB to serial converter must be used. Incompatibilities may
exist between EZT-430i and certain USB to serial adapters which will cause EZT-430i to
malfunction when connected using a standard null-modem cable.
If more than one EZT-430i controller is to be placed on the communication link with a PC, an RS232/485
converter will be required for each EZT-430i and the PC in order to convert the RS232 communications port
to RS485 multi-drop communications network for connecting multiple EZT-430i controllers on the PC
communications link.
WARNING:
To avoid potential electric shock and other hazards, all mounting and
wiring for EZT-430i must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC)
and other locally applicable codes.
Special expertise is required to install, wire, configure and operate the
EZT-430i controller. Personnel without such expertise should not
install, wire or operate nCompass.
CAUTION:
Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the
housing of any EZT-430i component. If necessary, place a cover
over the component during installation and wiring. Ingress of such
fragments and chips may cause a fire hazard, damage or malfunction
of the device.
Locate the EZT-430i touch screen and all related control components
away from AC power/motor wiring and sources of direct heat output
such as transformers, heaters or large capacity resistors.
