For connection to a PC with Triton Router Control System, the RS-232 interface is used. The RS-232 port
on all Triton devices uses the standard DCE pin-out, see pin-out table under 4.3.
A standard modem cable can be used for connecting the panel to the PCs serial port.
3.1 Selection of router level
The panel level depends on the system configuration the panel is going to work with. See chapter 5 for
more information. All panels and routers are delivered with default level 1. Triton Router Control System
offers the control of up to 16 different levels of routers, or combinations of routers.

3.3 Maximum cable length
The maximum cable length for an RS-232 connection is per definition 15m. Longer distances can be
installed depending on the environmental conditions of the installation site. It is the responsibility of the
installer / user to secure a proper installation of the RS-232 connection.
