Refer to the RMC user drawings for COMM wiring details for specific external devices. See the
information section.
To wire the serial communication port:
NOTICE – Equipment damage. An external device can be powered from pin 1 (VOUT) or pin 3
(Sw VOUT) on both COMM1 and COMM2. The output voltage at these pins is dependent upon the
external power supply connected to the CHARGER/EXT PWR port.
Before connecting to these pins, ensure that the device is compatible with the input voltage at the
CHARGER/EXT PWR port. Connecting an incompatible device may result in damage to the device.
1. Use a slotted screwdriver to pry the terminal connector off the electronic board.
2. Trim the wire covering back ¼ inch on each wire.
3. Loosen the terminal connector screws for the correct pin according to
4. Insert the wires in the required pins. If powering the device from the COMM port:
a. Use pin 1 (VOUT) and pin 2 (GND) to provide constant voltage.
b. Use pin 3 (Sw VOUT) and pin 2 (GND) to provide switched voltage.
5. Tighten the terminal connector screws.
NOTICE – Equipment damage. Do not overtighten the terminal connector screws as this may
damage the wire.
6. Insert the terminal connector back onto the COMM port if it was removed.
7. Insert the communication module in the appropriate slot
pushes the port cover downward when inserted.

Wire I/O ports

Wire the RMC I/O ports to monitor, control and power external devices. Wiring for power is required if
there is no external supply powering the device. Refer to the RMC user drawings for I/O wiring details for
specific external devices. See the
