5.5 Operator Serial I/O (J8)
The Operator Serial I/O Port (J8) is a DB-9 Female Connector. This port provides a serial
interface that can be configured as either an RS-232 or RS-485 interface and allows the user to
remotely control all of the features outlined in the Serial Protocol (See Section 4.2, Remote Port
User Interfaces). The serial port comes configured as an RS-232 Serial Port for DCE unless
otherwise indicated. The pinout for this interface is listed in Table 5-2.
The function of Pin 1 and Pin 9 depends on whether the protocol is set to
RS-232 or RS-485 (Front Panel LCD Menu: SYSTEM < REMOTE PORT <
REMOTE LINE).
