The stylus can be used for more accurate handling of the touch screen. As the touch
screen is resistive, a finger can be used as well. The stylus is mounted tightly at the
backside of the device. It can be removed by sliding it out sideways.

Typical System Connection

A typical system installation is illustrated below:

The application in the RTCU unit controls the power to the PNM device.
Unlike the other PNM devices with external interface box, this device will only shut down
directly while it is communicating with the RTCU. If asked to shut down while the
connection is lost, it will either wait for a timeout1 before shutting down, or it can be
manually shut down by pressing the reset button on the back. Note that the reset button
should not be used unless absolutely necessary, as it cuts the power immediately, while
the two other ways allows the device to perform a controlled shut down.

1 See the setting DisconnectTimeout in the Navigation and Messaging Platform User Guide.

Technical Manual 1.00, PNM-220

Typical Application

This is a quick start guide to connect the PNM device to the supported RTCU units. It is
easy to install the PNM system on location with the supplied cable for the RTCU MX2i
pro/pro+. The following section will describe the system connection to the supported
RTCU units.

Interfacing to the RTCU MX2i Pro/Pro+

The data cable with the RJ-45 connector needs to be connected to the 8-pole serial port 2
connector on the RTCU unit. The power cable, with the read and black wires at the end,
must be supplied from an external DC supply.
An example of the connection to RTCU MX2i pro is shown in the drawing below.

1. Connect the PNM device interface cable to the PNM device.

2. Connect the RJ-45 data cable of the PNM device interface cable to the serial Port 2

of the RTCU MX2i pro.

3. Connect the power supply to the power connector cable. The power requirement is

9..32VDC. The black wire is (-) and the red wire is (+).
Note that the power to the PNM device is controlled by the RTCU MX2i pro
application. The module will not power on unless the RTCU MX2i pro is powered on
and the application enables the module. Please refer to the RTCU IDE online help
for enabling and using the NMP interface.

Analog camera interface

PNM-220 offers connection for up to two analog cameras using the BNC connectors
available at the PNM device interface cable. Analog camera #1 must be connected to the
cable labeled with BNC-1 and analog camera #2 must be connected to BNC-2.
The use of the cameras is under full control of the VPL application. Please consult the
RTCU IDE on-line help for additional information.

Technical Manual 1.00, PNM-220

Interfacing to the RTCU IDE Simulator

The PNM-220 is supported by the RTCU IDE Simulator. In order to connect the PNM-220
series device to the PC, an optional cable with the order code RT-PNM-PC is needed.

1. Connect the PNM device interface cable to the PNM device.

2. Connect the RJ-45 data cable of the PNM device interface cable to the combiner.

3. Connect the combiner with one of the available serial ports on the PC with the

PNM-220 PC interface cable.

4. Connect the power supply to the power cable. The power requirement is 9..32VDC.
The black wire is (-) and the red wire is (+).
Note that the power to the PNM device is controlled by RTCU IDE application. The
module will not power on unless the RTCU IDE Simulator is running and the user
application enables the module. Please refer to the RTCU IDE online help for
enabling and using the NMP interface.
