DB9 - RJ45 ADAPTOR PINOUT
The XP-8s can be connected in many different ways to control a variety of devices. The following diagram illustrates just some of the
options. Optional accessories shown are sold separately.)
MPIO PORTS - Infrared/Sensing/RS-232 (One-way)
Each IR output can drive up to
four emitters directly. More than
four emitters require an amplied
connecting block.

IR Connecting Block
The XP-8s is capable of two-way communication and uses industry standard cat5
cable with RJ-45 termination (568B). The XP-8s ships with 8 RJ-45 (female) to
DB-9 (male) adapters.
NOTE: RS-232 communication cabling should be limited to 50 feet (16m)
depending on baud rate.

SENSE INPUTS
Security
Receiver
Sense contact closure or voltage trigger input (2-12VDC). Sense input mode
can be congured within Integration Designer
®
. Upon sensing contact closure
or trigger input, events can be automatically triggered such as IR commands,
macros, relay closure, etc.
Wiring for contact closure sense: connect conductors from device to be
sensed to each side of a sense input (A and B).
Wiring for voltage trigger sense: Connect positive lead from voltage
source to Side A of sense input and negative lead to Side B.

CONNECTING IR EMITTERS TO OUTPUT PORTS
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8s are compatible with industry
standard infrared emitters and infrared repeating systems. Each output
port is capable of driving up to four infrared emitters directly. The use
of more than four infrared emitters requires the addition of an amplied
connecting block. A connecting block can be wired up to 1000 feet away
from the XP-8s using #22 AWG (minimum) wire.
ADJUSTING IR OUTPUT GAIN
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the eight output
ports. The XP-8s is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for
most equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached
equipment is not responding reliably. If adjustment is needed, rotate the
IR output controls on the front of the XP-8s clockwise for higher output
power, or counter-clockwise for lower output power.
NOTE: The IR Output Feedback LEDs will illuminate when any IR code is
delivered from the XP-8s - this includes IR codes “passing through” from
another source such as an IR receiver.
CONNECTING VPS-1 SENSOR MODULE
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8s are compatible with RTI power
sensing modules (e.g. VPS-1 and SPS-1). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer
®
software guide for programming details.
CONNECTING COMMUNICATION MODULES (CM-232)
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8s are compatible with RTI
communication modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer
®
software guide for programming details.
