- Page 3 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual INTRODUCTION CAUTION! Thank you for your purchase of a Broadcast Tools® SRC-16 + G2 sixteen channel serial/Ethernet remote control (referred to as the SRC-16 + G2 throughout this man- Broadcast Tools® ual). We’re confident that this product will give you many years of dependable serv- Products, as with any ice.
- Page 4 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Product Overview The Broadcast Tools® SRC-16 + G2 is a computer GPIO interface to the real world. Connected through an RS-232 serial or Ethernet port the SRC-16 + G2 can notify your PC software program that any of 16 optically isolated inputs have been opened or closed and allow your software to control any of the 16 SPST, 1-amp (form A) relays.
- Page 5 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Inspection Please examine your SRC-16 + G2 carefully for any damage that may have been sus- tained during shipping. If any damage is present, please notify the shipper immedi- ately and retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package should con- tain the SRC-16 + G2, a one-foot RED straight-through CAT 5 (daisy-chain) cable, a modular cable with 9-pin “S9”...
- Page 6 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Rear Panel Description Power 2.1mm coaxial DC power jack, 9 - 12 VDC, center positive. Chassis Ground (Chs Gnd) Station ground and cable drain wires should be tied to this chassis ground point. Relay Outputs: Each of the sixteen relay outputs is supplied with SPST (form A) dry contacts that are jumper selectable for either normally open (N.O) or normally closed (N.C) operation.
- Page 7 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual For example: To connect a 48 VDC signal voltage to an input on the SRC-16 + G2 in “wet” con- figuration the completed equation for the external resistor value would be: R = ((48-1.2)/0.009)-2200 = 3000 ohms To calculate the power dissipated by the external resistor, the equation would be: P = I x I x R, so the resistor must be at least .009 x .009 x 2200 = 0.243 Watts, use a 1/2 Watt rated resistor.
- Page 8 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Expansion Ports Used to connect multiple SRC-16 + G2s using the included red Cat5 patch cable, allowing them to share one PC serial port or Ethernet IP address. Only use the sup- plied one-foot RED straight-through CAT 5 (daisy-chain) cable to connect multiple SRC-16 + G2’s together.

This is included for backwards compati- bility PC automation software designed to operate with older SRC-16 firmware versions.
- Page 12 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Data Programming Mode (Mode 6) In the Data Programming Mode the SRC-16 + G2 can be programmed to send custom strings when an input turns on or turns off. Its relays can be programmed to trigger from custom strings.
- Page 13 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Programming Relay Control Strings In Data Programming mode: enter “*R” and a list of the 16 relay control strings will be displayed. This is the data that will cause the corresponding relay to activate in operational mode.
- Page 14 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual Programming Relay Pulse Duration/Action In Data Programming mode: enter “*P” and a list of the 16 relay configuration val- ues will be displayed. Values can be set from 000-255, each value is multiplied x 100ms.
- Page 15 SRC-16 + G2 Installation and Operation Manual ASCII Burst Commands The burst mode allows a computer or ASCII terminal (RD-232 serial or TCP/UDP Ethernet) to control and interrogate the unit. This section defines all burst mode commands. Each burst mode command starts with an asterisk (*). Next is a single decimal digit that cor- responds to the unit (ID) number 0-3.
