CAUTIONS: • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

•Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

•For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect them to negative (–) contacts.

GRS-232 connector — Connect a host device such as a computer or touch panel control system to the Tx, Rx, and _ (ground) pins of this 5-pole captive screw connector for serial control of the DVC by SIS commands (see “Connecting to the RS-232 Port,” below, for information on wiring this port). The first and second pins of this connector are not used.

The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
