SIGNALS AND INTERFACING

t the rear of the unit are two DB-9
subminiature, female connectors. These are
provided for communications links to a
computer or sophisticated monitoring device.

SIGNAL provides open-collector outputs that
typically signal Utility Interrupt and Low Battery
conditions. A system shutdown feature is also
available on this port. Applying a short between Pin
6 and Pin 7 will cause the system to shutdown in
battery mode. This conserves the battery life once

an orderly shutdown has been accomplished. The
system may be configured to shutdown by applying
a +5 to +12V signal across the appropriate pins.
Contact the factory for configuration details.
RS232 is a true computer communications signal
port.
The open-collector signal outputs can be converted
to dry contact closures, as an option. Below is the
pin out of the two connectors with their default
assignments:
