RS-232 CONNECTIONS

The COM port is to be used for connecting a wired touch panel or to interface with a third party control system such as AMX or Crestron.

Pin outs for the RS-232 input

Note: You should use the Ethernet control system for controlling FireBall from a third party control system whenever possible. Using the Ethernet control system frees up the last COM port for other purposes, allows much longer distances between FireBall and the control system, and provides a much faster path for data transfer.

IR CONNECTIONS

The direct IR input jack on the back panel of the FireBall is for controlling FireBall from a wired IR distribution system such as a Xantech system. This connection must be an IR signal with a 36kHz carrier using an 1/8” mono or stereo connector.

The IR input jack provides 12V power. This means that you can directly connect a 12V IR receiver (like the Xantech series 291 units) to the FireBall using a 1/8” stereo connector. A mono 1/8”direct IR input can be safely used as FireBall will automatically detect the different cable and ground the voltage to protect your IR system from damage.
