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 Host software configuration. That
activity is covered in Chapter 3, “Software Configuration.”
The connectors and LED shown in Table 2-3 are available on a
Model SP-600-201 Signpost.

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
