5.9 Network Connection and Remote Communications via CXCI
The Cordex system can be set up, monitored and tested via Ethernet 10/100 Base-T serial data connection. The
communication protocol supports a web interface.
NOTE: Pinouts are shown in customer connections drawing.
Some standard scenarios are described below:
5.9.1 Ethernet Port for Network Connection (Standard Network Cable)
The Ethernet port is designed for CXCI connection to a user supplied network (TCP/IP secured by user) via a
front panel RJ-45 jack.
Connect using a standard network cable.
5.9.2 Ethernet Port for Local Connection (Crossover Cable)
Local access (e.g. laptop computer) is also possible from the Ethernet port connection.
Connect using a standard network crossover cable.
5.9.3 CXCI Modem Port (Argus Cable)
The Modem port (front panel DB-9 connector, Figure 6) is designed for CXCI connection to Argus Technologies’
Cordex DC Modem #018-585-20.
Connect using the Argus-supplied cable.
CAUTION
Connect only Argus-supplied modem and cable; otherwise, equipment damage can result.
5.10 Signal Wiring Connections for CXCI
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
Custom configurations may be detailed within the Argus power system documentation package.
For terminal block connections, the recommended wire sizes are 0.14 to 1.50mm
2
(#26 to #16 AWG) for the
temperature range of 0 to 50 deg. C (as per UL/CSA).
CAUTION: to reduce risk of fire, use only 0.14mm
2
(#26 AWG) or larger wire.
5.10.1 Alarm (Relay) Outputs
Terminals provide contacts for extending various alarm or control signals. Each relay output can be wired for NO
or NC operation during an alarm or control condition. See Figure 13.
Figure 13–Showing relay connections
Relays can be programmed to energize or de-energize during an alarm condition (see CXC Software manual).
When the CXCI reset button is pressed or power is lost, all relays de-energize.
