9-Pin COM Port Pinouts

 

 

 

 

PinTypeFunction

 

 

 

 

1

RS232-TX:

The HRTL-One can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system

 

RS232

(for example, a control keyboard), using RS-232 serial communications signals. See

 

 

RS-232/RS-485 Remote Protocol, page 30.

 

 

 

2

RS232-RX:

The HRTL-One can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system

 

RS232

(for example, a control keyboard), using RS-232 serial communications signal.

 

 

 

3

Video loss

If video loss occurs, the system sends a signal to trigger another accessory. This pin

 

 

output becomes Low when video loss occurs, and remains High under normal

 

 

operation.

 

 

 

 

4

Switch out

Connect to the VCR trigger recording terminal of the multiplexer to synchronize

 

 

recording signals. The default mode is falling (negative) edge.

 

 

 

5

Error out

This pin becomes Low when hard drive errors occur and remains High under normal

 

 

operation.

 

 

 

 

6

Rec start

This pin can accept the external trigger signal to activate record mode from an

 

 

external device. Options are:

 

 

Low: (default) When the external signal turns to Low it triggers the HRTL-One record

 

 

mode.

 

 

 

High: When the external signal turns back to High the HRTL-One stops recording.

 

 

 

7

External alarm

Under normal operation, COM (pin 15) connects with NC and disconnects with NO

 

NC

(pin 8).

 

 

 

When an alarm is triggered, COM disconnects with NC and connects with NO.

 

 

 

8

External alarm

Under normal operation, COM (pin 15) connects with NC and disconnects with NO

 

NO

(pin 7).

 

 

 

When an alarm is triggered, COM disconnects with NC and connects with NO.

 

 

 

 

9

GND

Ground

 

 

 

 

10

RS-485-B

The HRTL-One can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system

 

 

(for example, a control keyboard) using RS-485 serial communication signals.

 

 

 

11

RS-485-A

The HRTL-One can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system

 

 

(for example, a control keyboard) using RS-485 serial communication signals.

 

 

 

12

Disk full

Under normal operation the state remains High.

 

 

When the disk is full, the HRTL-One sends a Low state.

 

 

Example:

 

When the hard drive is full and you have installed another HRTL-One recorder, a signal can be sent to the next HRTL-One to activate recording.
