Warning: To provide maximum noise immunity and to ensure minimum EMI radiation, the V-
signal (DC power return) need to be connected to earth ground at the power supply. The user must
ensure that the power supply selected is compatible with this method of grounding.

The Graphic OCS features two RS-232 ports (primary and secondary). Both primary and secondary RS-
232 port pin-outs are shown in Table 4. The primary RS-232 port is the only port that supports
programming. The secondary serial port is used for application communications such as bar code
readers, etc. The secondary port can either be the second RS-232 port or an RS-485 port. Only one of
the secondary port modes can be selected for use at any given time.
Selecting the Secondary Port Mode: Using the ladder program, choose the secondary port mode
by selecting Comm Operations from Cscape’s main screen. Then, press the Open Communication
Port button. Double-click the Open Port Function Block, select Port 2, and then, select the desired
port under Mode.
Note: A shorter cable may be required when using the port at baud rates above 9600.

It is possible to operate an OCS on Battery Power by using the wide input power range of the OCS
product line. The range on most models is from 9 to 30 VDC. This allows both mobile and remote
operation and is very easy to set up and maintain.
The actual battery voltage is not significant as long as it is within the input range of 9 to 30 VDC. However
operation close to 24 VDC gives wider margin. Check the Power Input requirements for the specific OCS
model to determine battery size.
Note: If a DC/DC Converter is used as discussed below, use its input power requirements to determine
battery size.
c. Operating considerations
Some OCS models have experienced memory/program loss when powered by a battery that was allowed
to slowly drain to a very low voltage level. Therefore we recommend the use of a DC/DC Converter for
these applications. A DC/DC Converter maintains a constant voltage when using a battery for power. The
HE800PDC250 converts 12 VDC input to 24 VDC output at up to 2.0A and cuts off the power if the
incoming voltage drops below 9 VDC. This provides clean power for the OCS, preventing
memory/program loss. For 24 VDC battery applications, the HE800PDC250 converts 19-36VDC to
24VDC at up to 2.0 and cuts off the power when the incoming voltage drops below 19VDC.

3 SAFETY
When found on the product, the following symbols specify:
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock or burns, always connect the safety (or earth)
ground before making any other connections.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or physical injury it is strongly
recommended to fuse the voltage measurement inputs. Be sure to locate fuses as close to the
source as possible.
WARNING: Replace fuse with the same type and rating to provide protection against risk of
fire and shock hazards.
WARNING: In the event of repeated failure, do not replace the fuse again as a repeated failure
indicates a defective condition that will not clear by replacing the fuse.
WARNING: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of
this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this
equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or
loss of life.

For detailed installation and a handy checklist that covers panel box layout requirements and minimum
clearances, refer to the Control Station Hardware Manual (MAN0227).
• All applicable codes and standards need to be followed in the installation of this product.
• For I/O wiring (discrete), use the following wire type or equivalent: Belden 9918, 18 AWG or
larger.
Adhere to the following safety precautions whenever any type of connection is made to the module.
• Connect the green safety (earth) ground first before making any other connections.
• When connecting to electric circuits or pulse-initiating equipment, open their related breakers. Do
not make connections to live power lines.
• Make connections to the module first; then connect to the circuit to be monitored.
• Route power wires in a safe manner in accordance with good practice and local codes.
• Wear proper personal protective equipment including safety glasses and insulated gloves when
making connections to power circuits.
• Ensure hands, shoes, and floor are dry before making any connection to a power line.
• Make sure the unit is turned OFF before making connection to terminals. Make sure all circuits
are de-energized before making connections.
• Before each use, inspect all cables for breaks or cracks in the insulation. Replace immediately if
defective.
