AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-LT RS-232

The AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-LT provides an RS-232 port which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 device. This step is optional.

1. Gently remove the RS-232 cover from the faceplate using the tip of a small regular screwdriver.

1. RS-232 cover

2. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the RS-232 cable jacket.
3. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires.
4. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using the included 3-pin captive screw connector.
5. Connect the opposite end of the cable to the control system.

1. DE-9 (RS-232) port

NOTE: Typical DE-9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.

AT-OME-EX-RX-LT RS-232 and IR

The AT-OME-EX-RX-LT provides pass-through transport of RS-232 protocol and/or IR over HDBaseT, which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 or IR device. This step is optional.

1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket.
2. Remove at least 3/16″ (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires for the RS-232 connection.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 4-pin captive screw connectors.
4. Repeat step 2 for the S and GND wires for the IR connection.
5. Insert the S (signal) wire in to the TX terminal and the ground wire to the GND terminal.
6. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use high-torque devices to prevent damage to the connector.

NOTE: Typical DE-9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed. Note that the signal (S) pin for the IR is labeled as “TX” on the port.

2. Black
3. 48 V DC power supply

Faceplate Removal and Assembly

Removal of the faceplate requires that the AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-LT be disassembled from the electrical box or mud ring. A small Phillips-head screwdriver is required to remove the faceplate.

1. Unscrew the four Phillips-head screws from the sides of the faceplate, as shown:

2. Gently remove the faceplate by pulling it away from the enclosure.
3. Attach the new faceplate, then secure it using the four Phillips-head screws. Do not over-tighten or apply high-torque devices to the screws. Doing so may damage the faceplate and/or the screws.
4. Install the AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-LT into the electrical box or mud ring.
5. Reattach the wallplate.
