DSerial port — Use this female 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector to connect the SCP to the serial (RS-232\port on your computer. Through this connection you can enter SIS commands to monitor and obtain information from the SCP (see "Wiring the RS-232 Port" for connection information\.

Wiring the RS-232 Port

The RS-232 port provides the connection by which you can monitor and communicate with the SCP from a host computer using SIS commands (see the “Remote Communication” section, beginning on page 31\.

The RS-232 protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, 8 data bits, no flow control

Use a female 9-pin to bare wire RS-232 cable or a universal control cable (UC50' or UC100'\to connect a your computer or control system to the SCP as follows:

1.Wire the unterminated end of the RS-232 cable to the provided 3-pole captive screw plug as follows:

•• Connect the transmit wire to pin 1, which plugs into the transmit (Tx\port.

•• Connect the receive wire to pin 2, which plugs into the receive (Rx\port.

•• Connect the ground wire to pin 3, which plugs into the ground (G\port.
