Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview
Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 11
Pin 14 (3.3V_Logic_supply)
This pin is used as an output to provide 3.3V for the purpose of logic interfacing. To reduce chances
of electrical damage, this pin is current limited to 300uA and caution should be taken when
connecting to external circuit to ensure it doesn’t exceed the 300µA limit.
For additional information about the purpose of this pin contact Landis+Gyr.
A CAUTION: Pin 14 should NOT be used whenever Pin 9 (PWR_DN) is held in logic low level.
USB Programming Cable
A USB Serial Interface programming cable (P/N 19-2325, shown in Figure 1 - 6) is available for
developers to access the device via the LPP Port using RadioShop or their own application.
The cable provides power (5.0 VDC) from the USB port and a single emulated COM Port
connection. The USB cable allows the OEM vendor to configure, load DCWs, and program the
Gridstream S4SBR via the LPP port.
Figure 1 - 6. USB Serial Interface programming cable
The cable converts TTL level signals for connecting to Serial interfaces (COM Ports) via the USB
interface. The cable is designed to allow for a fast, simple way to connect the board via the USB
interface to the virtual RS-232 COM Port on the PC, allowing the developer to access the board
using RadioShop.
The entire USB protocol is handled by the USB Serial Interface cable when connected to the PC,
thus no USB specific firmware programming is required.
U WARNING: The 19-2325 USB Cable requires a USB 2.0 port for proper operation. PC damage
may occur if the 19-2325 USB Cable is connected to a USB 1.0 port.
NOTE: Previous model (19-1220) USB cables will not function correctly with this unit.
In order to be compatible with most computer USB ports the USB 19-2325 cable maintains a current
limit of less than 500mA by setting the Gridstream S4SBR to low RF output power mode by
grounding pin 8 of the I/O connector.This mode sets the output power level to approximately 100
