Graco 249020 Series B, 117256 Series C, 249884 Series B Transceiver Connection/Wiring

Transceiver Connection/Wiring

CAUTION

Cable connections and wiring should always be done prior to powering on the transceiver.

There are two connection/wiring options for connecting the Transceiver(s) to the PC.

•RS232 is for wiring distances of 100 ft (30.5 m) or less between the Transceiver and PC.

•RS422 is for wiring distances up to 4000 ft. (1219 m) between the transceiver and PC.

RS232 - 100 ft. (30.5 m) or less.

1.Connect the PC serial port (E) to the Transceiver serial port (B) using the 100 ft. (30.5 m) RS232 cable (D) (part no. 118346). Do not cut the cable

(D) to remove any excess. Coil excess and place in out of way location. See FIG. 4.

2.Set dipswitch settings on the Transceiver prior to connecting the power transformer (see page 10 for RS232 dipswitch settings).

3.Plug the power into the Transceiver power inlet (A) and into a grounded 120 VAC power source. The green power light (H) will illuminate indicating the Transceiver is on. See FIG. 5.

RS422 - wiring distances up to 4000 ft (1219 m).

Parts needed to make this connection are:

•RS232 to RS422 converters (119435) will be required for each Transceiver in the system.

•(1) 249019 Connector kit (includes 10 RS422 con- nectors and 100 ferrules). To apply the ferrules to the wires, you will need crimping tool (15B902).

1.Attach the wires to the terminal block on the Con- verter and on the connector (P4). See FIG. 6.

2.With the connections made, plug and screw in the converter to the open serial port (E) on the PC. See FIG. 4.

If your PC does not have enough serial ports for the Matrix Transceiver(s) connections, a USB converter must be used. Graco recommends using

a4-port or 8-port Edgeport USB converter depending on the number of Transceivers required for connection. These converters are not supplied by Graco. They can be purchased at B & B Elec- tronics Manufacturing (www.bb-elec.com).

3.Plug and screw in the connector into the RS422 connection located on the transceiver (C). See FIG. 3.

4.Set dipswitch settings on the Transceiver prior to connecting the power transformer (see page 10 for RS422 dipswitch settings).

5.Plug the power into the Transceiver power inlet (A) and into a grounded 120 VAC power source in N.A. and a grounded 240 VAC power source in Australia. The green power light (H) will illuminate indicating the Transceiver is on. See FIG. 5.

When the transceiver is powered on, it will go into a test mode and diagnostic light (J) will illuminate for about 10 seconds then shut-off. During this time the transceiver is not functional. See FIG. 5.
