4.3 DB-50 Cable Construction For Remote Installations
When direct mounting is not employed, use a DB-SUB 50 parallel cable. The DB-SUB 50 connectors should have #4-40 screw
locks with a conductive backshell to maintain proper shielding. If
the connector end installed on the SER-800D/810E coder is
male, use the female-to-female cable adapter provided. For
cables longer than a few meters, twisted pairs should be used for
each signal and its return.
Make sure to connect both ends of the cable in a pin-to-pin format (connect pin 1 of source connector to pin 1 of destination
connector, pin 2 to pin 2, ..., pin 50 to pin 50). For a detail of the
connector pinout, see the Panasonic D-SUB 50 pinout and the
Philips D-SUB 50 pinouts in section 3.4 Mode Selection.

steps below to locate and replace the defective power supply:
1- Ensure that the SER-CPS is powered. Remove the top
cover, preventing contact with any internal AC wiring.
2- On the internal distribution board are 3 red LEDs. Each
LED is associated with a particular power supply. A flashing
LED indicates its designated power supply is defective. Use
the following diagram to locate the defective power supply.
3- Once the defective power supply has been located, unplug
the unit.
4- Remove the cable that connects to the defective power supply.
5- Remove the four screws that attach the power supply to the
frame.
6- Replace the defective power supply by a new one and recon-
nect the cable.
7- Replace cover.

4.3 DB-50 Cable Construction For Remote Installations
When direct mounting is not employed, use a DB-SUB 50 parallel cable. The DB-SUB 50 connectors should have #4-40 screw
locks with a conductive backshell to maintain proper shielding. If
the connector end installed on the SER-800D/E coder is male,
use the female-to-female cable adapter provided. For cables
longer than a few meters, twisted pairs should be used for each
signal and its return.
Make sure to connect both ends of the cable in a pin-to-pin format (connect pin 1 of source connector to pin 1 of destination
connector, pin 2 to pin 2, ..., pin 50 to pin 50). For a detail of the
connector pinout, see the Panasonic D-SUB 50 pinout and the
Philips D-SUB 50 pinouts in section 3.4 Mode Selection.
