The only cabling required for a basic installation is operating power.
This needs to be done in accordance with applicable safety
regulations. All cables should be routed and protected in a manner
which precludes damage to them or harm to personnel; for example,
unsecured extension cords left across access-ways or where assets or
asset moving equipment can damage them.
This section does not include connecting the Signpost to a computer
with a serial cable for Signpost software configuration. That activity
is covered in Chapter 3, Signpost Configuration.
The connectors and LED shown in Table 2-3 are available on a Model
SP-600-201 Signpost.

Connectors
and LEDs Description
Power The input power is connected here.
RS-232 Used to connect to a computer for setup and diagnostics by installers
and technicians.
Antenna The external loop antenna connects here
Sync In Used to synchronize 2 to 4 Model SP-600-201 Signposts to cover an
area larger than is possible with a single Signpost.This connector can
also accept DC volts from another Signpost to avoid running separate
power lines when two or more Signposts are synchronized
Sync Out Used to synchronize 2 to 4 Model SP-600-201 Signposts to cover an
area larger than is possible with a single Signpost. This connector can
also output DC volts to another Signpost to avoid running separate
power lines when two or more Signposts are synchronized
Sensor 1 A closure on these two pins will trigger a predefined Signpost action.
Sensor 2 A closure on these two pins will trigger a predefined Signpost action.
Status This LED indicates when power is applied and the Signpost mode of
operation:
On ½ second, off ½ second indicates normal operation
On 1 second, off 1 second indicates the Signpost is off but powered
