2 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 POWER INTERFACES
2.1.1 DC POWER
The DT-6061 rack-mount or stand-alone accepts DC power input directly from a 48V DC power
source and connects into the three position (accepting return, minus and ground, power wires)
terminal block labeled 48V DC on the DT-6061 faceplate. The terminal block connectors
accommodate 10 awg to 14 awg (American Wire Gauge) wire. A strain relief clamp is available
separately for DC wire stabilization.
2.1.2 AC POWER
For this application, a separate AC power supply is available. The power supply has a six-foot
long cable that terminates with a barrel connector. The power supply plugs into a standard 115V
AC outlet. The output of this supply is 5V DC. The barrel connector plugs into the circular
connector labeled 5V DC on the DT-6061 faceplate.
2.2 ALARM
The Alarm Grid connector is a three position (Failed Open, Closed, Failed Closed) terminal block
labeled ALARM on the DT-6061 faceplate. The terminal block connectors accommodate 10 awg
to 14 awg (American Wire Gauge) wire.
2.3 CON (CONSOLE)
There are two types of consoles in a DT-6061: the single serial platform console and multiple
telnet application consoles. The serial console is used for initial configuration of the platform and
installation and control of applications. Each telnet console is used to configure the application
database for one instance of an application.
The serial console port interface, which is labeled as CON on the DT-6061, requires a standard
RJ45 terminated, twisted pair, data cable. It connects as data terminating equipment (DTE) to an
asynchronous device and uses RS-232C signaling. Connection to the DT-6061 console is
required for any DT-6061 platform administration. Otherwise, the console can be disconnected
during normal operation and only the logical telnet console used to administer an instance of an
application. See section 4.1 for details on cabling the serial console. The serial console is
configured as 9600 bps, 8 bits, and no parity.
2.4 RS-232 / V.35
Through a DB25, RS-530 connector the DT-6061 supports two, software selectable, device
interfaces (V.35 and RS-232C). This connector is currently slated for future use.
