IO Connector Signal Descriptions: 

 

DB9 RS232 Female Connector: 

 

Note 1:  Pin 1 optionally connected to +VCC () if PCB pad labeled “DB9 PWR” near DB9 
connector is bridged. This may be bridged by the OEM or by us if you require this feature. 

 

AUX Connector: 

You may optionally connect an off board speed selection switch, DB9 serial connection 
port or ambient light sensor. 

Note 2: Contact us for the part number and hookup schematic for the light sensor. Two different types of 
sensors may be used, passive LDR or active IC (recommended). Internal light sensor must be disabled by 
removing R24 on the front of the PCB in order to use an external light sensor. 
 
Note 3: You may also connect an external BCD rotary switch or thumbwheel switch to use in place of the 
on-board rotary switch. In this case the on-board switch must be set to the “0” position or removed at the 
factory.
