3.6. RS-232 Wiring
HELPFUL INFO
:
–
Savant recommends planning control connections and protocols to be used prior to building any cables and connecting equipment. This
will ensure that devices will respond to commands and will not be damaged by an incorrect cable configuration.
–
When installing wire in screw down terminals, strip a 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire and twist the strands together. This will allow for
the exposed wire to be inserted into the terminal up to the insulation eliminating stray strands that may cause shorting.
PAV-SIPA50SM/PAV-SIPA125SM/PAV-AIM7C
The PAV-SIPA50SM, PAV-SIPA125SM, and PAV-AIM7C all use the same RS-232 wiring. Refer to the diagram and information below for pinout and
wiring instructions.

NOTES
:
–
CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on the profile used in the configuration.
–
IP Audio devices do not support RS-422/485
RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Control Adapters
Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for more information
on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters.
IMPORTANT!
If using RJ-45 to DB9 adapters not supplied by Savant:
–
Ensure that any wires required for communication/control are terminated within the adapter.
–
Ensure that all wires NOT required for communication/control are NOT terminated in the connector.
–
Ensure that the unused wires in the connector are cut to prevent them from shorting out, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45
connector on the controller side.
PAV-SIPA1SM / IP-STUDIOxx-2CH
Serial control connections for the PAV-SIPA1SM are made using the 6-pin connectors supplied with the device. Wires slip into the holes and are
secured using the screw located at the top of the connector.
