I/O Communication and Control

USER PORT

The User port allows you to control the Pinnacle unit through a remote controller. The
connector is a 15-pin, subminiature-D, female connector (see the following illustration).

Figure 4-1. 15-pin User port

You may operate the Pinnacle unit solely through the 15-pin User port. User port operation
does not require connection to a DeviceNet network.

Installation

Disconnect all sources of input power before working on this unit or anything
connected to it.
Note: Signals at the User port can be sensitive to environmental noise. We recommend that
you take standard preventative measures against electro-magnetic interference (EMI),
including using shielded cabling on the User port.
Refer to the pin descriptions on the following pages when connecting your remote controller
to the User port. Use shielded cabling to avoid EMI problems.
If you have a Pinnacle Active Remote Panel and you want to operate the Pinnacle supply from
the User port, you must set the control mode for USER on the control panel.

Signals

The User port is primarily an "analog" interface. Signal descriptions appear in the following
table. Note that a ".A" suffix appended to a pin name indicates an analog signal; a ".D" suffix
appended to a pin name indicates a digital signal. An overline on a signal name (for example,
5702199-A
Page 35 of 182
) indicates that the signal is true when low.
