Connecting the Remote Bus

This is a 3-pin Phoenix-type connector

specifically for connecting the optional remote
control. Use a high-quality three-conductor shielded
cable to make this connection, such as Belden
8451, 9451, or equivalent. The lower the nominal
capacitance of the wire, the more distance you can
have between the remote control and the SP1200
before suffering transmission losses.

Strip the wire back about 1/4 inch, insert the

wire as far as it will go into the appropriate hole in
the supplied Phoenix-type connector, and tighten
down the screw with a small slot-head screwdriver.
It is recommended that you use 18 to 24 gauge
wire for the remote control connections, depending
on the distance between the SP1200 and the
remote control.

The REMOTE connector is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = Ground (Shield)
Pin 2 = Data + (with +24V DC power)
Pin 3 = Data – (with +24V DC power)

Note: See the instructions with the remote

control for more information.

Expansion Bus Connection Chart

Connecting the Expansion Bus

These are 25-pin D-Sub connectors (DB25F). The

two connectors are wired in parallel, so it doesn’t
matter which one you use as an input or output.
The signals on the EXPANSION IN/OUT are
balanced so they can be transmitted down long
lines. The limiting factor is the capacitance of the
cable, which causes the higher frequencies to roll-
off as the capacitance increases (see chart below).
The chart indicates the lengths of cable at which
the high-frequencies are 1 dB down and 3 dB down,
using cable rated at 20pf/ft and 30pf/ft.

Use shielded twisted pairs for the EXPANSION

cable to ensure the best rejection of external noise
(EMI and RFI).

Expansion Bus Output Impedance = 220Ω

For local interconnection of the Expansion Bus,

the use of standard computer cable with an overall
shield is acceptable, such as Belkin Pro Series 25-
Conductor Straight-Through Cable Assembly (Part
Number F3D111-06) or equivalent. Ensure that the
cable is wired straight-through and terminated to
DB25M connectors on each end.

Note: The use of ribbon cable is permissible for

these connections, only where the total length of
each cable is 12" (30cm) or less.
