Note:

The DC power is supplied all the time from

external DC power supply unit even if this
power button is turned off.. Disconnect the
DC power when this unit is not in use for a long
period.

2. System Data Receiving Indicator (SYS DATA RX)

This indicator blinks irregularly for both PC-mode
and Extension-mode while this unit receives the
system data.

Note:

When the system data error occurs, this LED
blinks in 0.5 sec, interval. See page 18 for

details.

- 3 -

3. System Data Transmitting Indicator

(SYS DATA TX)

This indicator blinks irregularly for both PC-mode
and Extension-mode while this unit sends the
system data out.

Note:

When the system data error occurs, this LED
blinks in 0.5 sec. interval. See page 18 for
details.

4. RS-232C Receiving Indicator (RS-232 RX)

This indicator blinks irregularly for both PC-mode

and Extension-mode while this unit receives
RS-232C signal from another unit such as Modem
or computer.

Note:

When the system data error occurs, this LED

blinks in 0,5 sec, interval. See page 10 for

details.

Note:

When the system data error occurs, this LED
blinks in 0,5 sec, interval or the error is
indicated on the monitor TV, See page 10 for
details,

6. RS-232C Connector (RS-232C)

Connect this connector with Modem unit, computer
and so on.

3. RD (RXD)

4. RS(RTS)

5. CS (CTS)

6. DR (DSR)

7. SG (Signal ground)

20. ER(DTR)
Other pins are not used.

5. RS-232C Transmitting Indicator (RS-232 TX)

This indicator blinks irregularly for both PC-mode
and Extension-mode while this unit transmits

RS-232C signal to another unit such as Modem

or computer.

7. Controller Number Selection Switch

. (CONTROLLER UNIT NO.)

This switch is used to identify the Controller
Unit Number in the system. Up to five(5)
WV-CU300/WJ-PC10 can be installed in the
system.

not used.

2. Do not duplicate numbers with other
WV-CU300/WJ-PC10.

7-2. Extension-mode

1, Set this switch to number 0 for every WJ-PCi 0.

8. Data Clock Switch (DATA CLOCK SND/RCV)

When the data clock is supplied to this Data
Input/Output Connector(9), turn this switch to the
RCV position. And when the data clock is sent out
from this connector, turn this switch to the SND
position.

Note:

When the system is separated in some sites
connecting with the modem units and so on,
the SND-RCV connection should be made in
each site. In each site, only one unit should be
set as the SND unit and the other units should
be set as the RCV unit.

9. Data Input/Output Connector (DATA IN/OUT 1 /2)

These connectors send out or accept the system
data to/from other system components in System

300. Also the data clock signal is either sent out or
received through these connectors.

10. 12VDC Input Terminals (DC 12V IN)

CABLE CONNECTION

1. RS-232C cable

Use RS-232C standard cable (straight connection)
of up to 49ft (15m) to connect between WJ-PCIO
and other unit such as Modem, computer and so on.
When the cable is to be made locally, refer to the
Pin configuration of RS-232C Connector on page 4,

2. System data bus connection

2-1. Cable connection

The two BNC connectors for DATA IN/OUT on
the WJ-MP404, WJ-SQ508 and WV-CU30D are

internally connected and are identical. The System
data bus connection is looped through all units
with the first and last units being automatically
terminated with 75 ohms and all other units being

Hi-Z loop through.

2-2. Data Clock Switch selection

Set the Data Clock Switch on the first unit
connected to the System data bus to the "SND"
so that this unit is the Data Clock supplier. Set the

Data Clock Switch on all other units to the ’RCV”

position.

Data are transmitted and received to and from each
unit connected to the System data bus, in addition
to the Data Clock, through the single coaxial cable.
