4.11.1. RS-232 (J3)
RS-232 communication requires a cable connected from the Gold Solo Hornet to a serial
interface on the PC. The interface is selected and set up in the Elmo Application Studio (EAS)
software.
To connect the RS-232 communication cable:
1.
Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is soldered
internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drain wire to facilitate
connection.
2.
The RS-232 communication port is non-isolated.
3.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the connector used for
RS-232 communications. The drain wire can be used to facilitate the connection.
