Installation

RS-232/Closure Wiring

All drawings show pin numbers relative to a PC COM port or typical control system RS-232 ports. Pins 4 and 9 are momentary closures to GND (5). A fully-wired null modem cable can be used for RS-232 control, a DTR signal on Pin 4 will not trigger a Channel Up commmand.

Up to nine tuners can be daisy-chained from one RS-232 control port. Remember that you will need to use the Unit# address in your programming when you control more than one tuner from the same control port.

Set the first unit in the RS-232 chain to the highest Unit#, then wire in sequence to the last tuner in the chain. The reason for this is that CR tuners use an intelligent data bus - the highest number tuner receives all commands, and then passes on commands addressed to tuners with lower unit numbers. The next tuner in the chain does the same, and so on until the last unit.
