360 Systems DigiCart/EX - Manual (Page 19)

P OWER
WARNING
CONNECT ONLY TO A GROUNDED 50/60 HZ AC OUTLET PROVIDING THE
CORRECT VOLTAGE (115 VAC OR 230 VAC, AS DELIVERED).
DO NOT REMOVE OR DEFEAT THE GROUNDING PIN ON THE AC POWER CORD.
A SERIOUS SHOCK HAZARD MAY RESULT FROM FAILING TO
MAKE CONNECTION TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
DO NOT USE THE CHASSIS SIGNAL GROUND THUMBSCREW AS A
SAFETY GROUND POINT.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT OUT OF DOORS, IN RAIN, OR
IN DAMP OR WET ENVIRONMENTS.
Each DigiCart/EX is factory configured for only 115VAC or 230VAC operation. Please check the
marking on the rear panel to see if you have the correct DigiCart for your power supply. Use the AC
service cord provided to connect the unit to utility power. Use only Underwriters Laboratories
recognized replacement cords.
Chassis Ground Screw
A thumbscrew is provided to reduce longitudinal grounding errors between devices having
interconnected low-level signals. This feature may reduce hum on the analog input ports.
C ONTROL S IGNALS
Several of the most useful standards have been selected to interface DigiCart/EX with
professional audio-video equipment and allow functionality with automation systems for the
development of custom applications. Detailed technical information about the interfaces will be
found in the Appendices.
Remote Control
A Remote Control port is included on the rear panel for connecting DigiCart/EX with a 360
Systems RC-320 desktop remote control.
The control port provides bi-directional serial communication and power. This port is dedicated
to an RC-320 remote. Since an RC-320 remote can control more than one DigiCart, a Remote
Bus connector is also supplied on DigiCart/EX to daisy-chain remote commands to several
DigiCarts. The Remote Bus can be connected to a mix of DigiCart IIs and DigiCart/Es. The
pinout used on the Remote Control port can be found in Appendix A, Interface Wiring.
Specifics of supported protocols can be found in Appendix B, Serial Control Protocols.
Remote Bus
The Remote Bus connector on DigiCart/EX is used to daisy-chain remote commands to several
DigiCarts. The Remote Bus can be connected to a mix of DigiCart IIs and DigiCart/Es.
Automation systems can also control DigiCarts through this port. (The Remote Bus connector
should not be used as an input when an RC-320 is connected to the Remote Control port)
See “Set Remote Control” in the Setup menu for machine addressing. The pinout used on the
Remote Control port can be found in Appendix A, Interface Wiring.
