RS-232 and IR Over XTP Communication

The RS-232 and IR Over XTP connector is for pass-through transmission of serial signals, such as projector control signals, and infrared data. To pass bidirectional serial command signals between XTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the three leftmost poles (Tx, Rx, and G) of the 5-pole captive screw connector. To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three rightmost poles (G, Tx, and Rx). The ground (G) pole is shared.

NOTE: RS-232 and IR data can be transmitted or received simultaneously (see figure 12 below for wiring considerations).

ATTENTION: The length of exposed wires is critical.

The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

Longer bare wires can short together.

Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
