Power Connector
The power connector for the XD series is rated for 12V @ 3A. The plug for the connector is a keyed and locking 4-pin
connector. It is right-side positive.
DE9 RS-232 Connector
The RS-232 connector is a male DE9. Like PCs, BrightSign XD players are DTE devices. The input to the chip accepts a
range between +25V and -25V, so it is compatible with standard +12V and -12V signaling.
The baud rate is 115200, with no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. There is no hardware or software flow control. The
maximum cable length is 50 meters, and the total cable capacitance is 2500pF.
Note: A lower capacitance cable allows you to use cable lengths beyond 50 meters.
The following diagram illustrates the behavior of the TX and RX signal:
The following table illustrates the pinout of the DE9 on the XD series of players:
