RS-232 Wiring and Connections
Notes:
CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on the
•
profile used in the configuration.
The SSC-0012 does not support RS-422/485.
•
RJ-45 to DB9 Adapters
Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout
Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for
more information on the RJ-45 to DB9 adapters offered by Savant.
IR Wiring
IR connections are made using 6-pin Screw Down Plug-in
Connectors supplied with controller. The wire slips into the hole and
locks with the screw located at the top of the connector.
IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions
Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the
•
controllers location.
Use of 3 rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not
•
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away
from the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
IR Port Connector Pinout
Note:
While not shown in a diagram above, connections IR4 to IR6 follow
the same wiring as IR1 to IR3.

GPIO Wiring
General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIO) are binary I/O ports used on
Savant controllers to trigger an action within the system. Events can
control a device, such as turning on an amplifier (output) or detecting a
state change for a device (input) to perform a workflow. Pins 1-4 are
used for input or output depending on configuration.
GPIO Pull Down Resistor (PD) Usage
The GPIO pins are by default configured as inputs and pulled high to
12V while the host is booting up. To pull the GPIO signal low during a
host reboot and/or power cycle, a jumper wire can be connected
between a GPIO pin and its corresponding PD1 and PD2 pin. Doing this
adds a 1k ohm resistor between the GPIO pin and ground which keeps
the GPIO output below 0.8V while the host is rebooting.

Relay Wiring
Relays are used when a contact closure (normally open or normally
closed) is needed to activate a device such as raising or lowering
shades, opening or closing a gate, etc.

Making Connections
1. Remove Power if power is applied.
2. Pull to remove the terminal block from the rear of the controller.
3. With a small flat bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on the top of
connector counterclockwise until the silver crimps in the front of the
connector opens enough to slide the wires into the square slots.
4. Insert one of the stripped wires from the device being controlled
into its respective slot in the connector. Refer to the diagrams.
5. Turn the screw clockwise until the screw tightens around the wire.
Tug on the wire a bit to verify it is installed securely. Do not allow
more than 1/2 inch of stripped wire exit from the rear of the
connector.
6. Repeat for each wire till all wires are installed in that connector.
7. Repeat steps above for all connectors as required.
8. Plug terminal blocks back into rear of the controller.
9. Reapply power
