DO NOT
•
make modem phone line connections through PBX telephone switching systems - most modems are not compatible
with PBX systems leading to disconnection problems with the modem
•
locate the PXL-500/PXL-510 controller near EMI sources - EMI sources can affect the performance of the controller
•
use switching power supplies - they are EMI sources
•
route network and reader cables beside power cables - transients on the power cables may be picked-up by network
and reader cables
•
stretch or over-tension cables
•
route over sharp objects
•
let the wires get tangled
•
mix PXL-500s/PXL-510s with PXL-100s in the same network
•
use a PXL-250 as the master on a network with PXL-500s/PXL-510s. The PXL-500/PXL-510 should always be the
master controller.
•
route controllers in a network in a loop configuration
•
connect earth ground
1
to the network cable shield - the PXL-500/PXL-510 automatically connects earth ground to the
shield at one point on the network to prevent ground loops
•
use gender changer plugs when making RS-232 serial communication connections (unless you know it is a “straight-
through” plug) - gender changers may have internal wiring changes that can disrupt communications
