From Pins 3, 5, 6, 8, and/or 9 if the attached device is DCE CAUTION! When the device to which a SHM-NPR is attached is powered down, that SHM-NPR also loses power and can no longer send any signals to the remote SHM- NPR.
(four wires). They require no AC power or batteries, but can support distances up to 17 miles (27.3 km; see Appendix B). The SHM-NPR and SHM-NPR/RJ have an external DCE/DTE switch, so you can connect them to any type of RS-232 device without opening their chassis. And you...

SHM-NPR Typical applications for these units are shown—not to scale, obviously—in Figures 2-2 and 2-3. In Figure 2-2, short-haul modems are being used to connect an async host computer to a faraway terminal. (The thing to remember about such applications is that if the computer and terminal are too widely separated, the host will time out before receiving it receives the terminal’s responses.) In Figure 2-3,...
EDN25C, for example—that carries all of the pins from which the SHM-NPR draws power; just make sure to keep this cable as short as possible.) No power is required from a dedicated AC or DC source, because the unit is powered entirely by the attached device’s control and data signals.

SHM-NPR To install a pair of these units, take these steps: 1A. SHM-NPR (ME721 models) only: Making sure that they are not connected to any other device or any power source, gently pry the units open using a small screwdriver or similar tool wedged into one of the indentations on either side of the units’...

CHAPTER 3: Configuration and Installation 1B. SHM-NPR/RJ (ME821 models) only: Get 4-wire twisted-pair cable and terminate it with RJ-11 or (especially if the cable is shielded) RJ-12 plugs, using the pin assignments shown in Figure 3-3 (for RJ-11 cable, substitute Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 for Pins 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively) and end-to-end wiring like that shown in Figure 3-2 on the previous page.
2. Check all external connections. Make sure they are firm and secure. 3. SHM-NPR (ME721) only: Detach the unit from the device and open its case. Make sure that none of the wires have come loose from the terminal block.
CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting 4.3 Shipping and Packaging If you need to transport or ship your SHM-NPR or SHM-NPR/RJ: • Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container. • If you are returning the unit, make sure you include everything your received with it.
SHM-NPR Appendix A: RS-232 Pinout The table below shows how the RS-232-C ports of the SHM-NPR and SHM-NPR/RJ are pinned out. Please note that even though the control and voltage signals are listed, they are used only to help power the units; only the data signals are carried across the line.
APPENDIX B: Maximum Distances Appendix B: Maximum Distances The table below shows how far pairs of SHM-NPRs and SHM-NPR/RJs can transmit data to each other at specified cable thicknesses and data rates. Please note that these measurements are for noiseless environments with not more than 20% of peak-to-peak distortion;...
