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.

• Gently remove the RS-232 cover from the faceplate using the tip of a small regular

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

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.

AT-OME-EX-RX-LT Power

1.  Locate the included orange captive-screw connector, and loosen the screws to allow room to insert the copper wiring.
2. Wire the included power supply to the connector, as shown below. Do not use high-torque devices, when securing the wires to the captive-screw connector, as this may damage the screws and/or connector.
