6.0PINOUT GUIDES

6.1Modem Setup and Pinout Guide

The OpenComms EM must be connected to a modem to send pager alerts when a sensor reading crosses a user-defined threshold (see 5.5.2 - Modem Setup for more information).

The unit is compatible with modems that have DB9 or DB25 serial COM ports. A proper cable must be constructed to allow communication between the unit and the modem. This cable connects the RJ45 connector labeled Modem on the back of the unit to the serial port on the modem.

Refer to Table 13 for a pinout guide for building the correct cable. For more information on construct- ing this type of cable, call Liebert Monitoring Application Support at 1-800-222-5877 or contact your local Liebert representative.

6.2Contact Closure Cable Pinout Guide

All OpenComms EM models can accommodate a contact closure cable in either sensor port. Contact closure cables are available separately from Liebert in various lengths (see Table 3).

To make your own contact closure cable, refer to Table 14 for the pinout for this cable.

Pin 2 is the contact that may be defined as either Normally Open or Normally Closed.

Pins 6 and 8 must be tied together to form the common.

6.3Serial Cable Pinout Guide (EM PDU & vEM-14 Controllers)

The serial cable included with OpenComms EM PDU and vEM-14 con- trollers is designed for connecting the OpenComms EM unit to an MP Advanced power strip.

To make your own cable, refer to Table 15 for the pinout for this cable.
